Lean, also known as purple drank, is a recreational drug that has gained popularity among young adults… It is a dangerous and addictive concoction that combines prescription cough syrup containing codeine, soda, and sometimes candy or fruit flavors.
Huh, TIL

- Comment on How about instead, a longer healthier retirement? 21 hours ago:
That brought up an angry memory when Obamacare was first being debated. They were floating the idea of universal healthcare and the Republican propaganda machine came out in full force. There was something on Fox News that said something like “a study by the Congressional Budget Office shows over the next decade, universal healthcare would cost $7 trillion”.
But then neglected to mention the same survey showed NOT implementing universal healthcare would cost something like $17 trillion. Fucking scumbags.

More than that. But yeah, clearly they’ve figured out a formula to keep people poor and apathetic. So many people don’t vote because they don’t want to get involved in politics. Too bad, cause politics is involved in you - and it’s fucking you over.

I wish they remastered this game. It’s soooo good but is a bit clunky to replay.

“You obviously dont need a roommate to lower expenses if you can afford a robot that makes your bed”
Yeah I think that’s what he has to be saying and just worded it poorly. The only way any of this makes any bit of sense is if he’s saying “If you have enough money to have your own personal robot, then you probably aren’t so broke that you need a roommate to cover half the rent.”

Wtf is a “need a roommate” argument?

Saw this short on it. If anyone has a better source, I’d love to see one without a stupid reaction thrown into the middle. But even with that, it’s still worth a watch.
- Comment on Peacock has ads when pausing a movie to read the text 1 week ago:
My wife wanted to watch Obession this weekend, which is streaming on Peacock. That was the first time I’ve watched anything on there in at least a year. What a garbage ass service. Like 3 minutes of ads before the movie starts. Then ads on the pause screen.

Now that you mention it, there’s a lot of ammo laying around a lot of video game caves.

Flex and Gaylord.
According to USA Gymnastics Glossary of Terms

On high bar, a front giant into a one-and-one-half front salto over the bar to regrasp. First done by U.S. gymnast Mitch Gaylord.
- Comment on Why can't I change the terms and conditions in a pre-signed contract with a corpo? 4 weeks ago:
Unfortunately (or fortunately, probably) contract law doesn’t really work that way. If you sneakily change a contract or even verbally misrepresent what’s in that contract, it can be challenged in court.
It can be difficult to prove though. For example, if a car sales person verbally says your car payment will be $100 but the contract you sign says $1,000 then you can argue in court that they misrepresented what you signed and the $100 should stand. But it’s hard to prove what was said was different than what was signed.
Same concept if your landlord signed something, sent it to you to sign and you modified it to something else without communicating a change. If they can show the original document they sent you, you’re boned.

Seriously though, it’s sad to see. No healthy person is that skinny.

- Comment on Anon orders food 5 weeks ago:
That’s the part that’s criminal about delivery fees not going to the driver. My nephew used to deliver for a pizza place but then switched to Uber Eats after his pizza company outsourced and fired all the drivers.
People place orders and see that they’re paying a delivery fee, a service fee, and a higher menu price than ordering in the store and then think that they don’t need to tip much (if anything) because surely that money is going to the driver doing the actual work and deliverying the food.
But nope, the driver gets paid very little for taking an order. The tip is the vast majority of their salary. My nephew will show me screenshots of orders that he gets that will be like “drive 10 miles to pickup the order, then 5 miles to picked the second piece of the order, then 10 miles to deliver it - for $2.00.”
What’s worse is that since companies have figured out they can hide this from consumers and get away with it, they’ve expanded to stuff like “same day delivery” from retail stores. Customers think “same day delivery” is the equivalent to an item being shipped, so would never consider tipping. But it turns out those services are also going through delivery drivers like Uber Eats, meaning someone will pick up a retail order in their own car and get paid next to nothing without tips (which most people don’t even think to pay).
Tipping in lieu of salary is a scam.
