It isn’t really a good alternative, but Walmart.com has nearly as wide of a selection and the same delivery times.
Not that Walmart is a better company.
- Comment on how do I become the dullest, most boring coworker so this needy man leaves me alone? 4 days ago:
Bring or get some large ear covering headphones. Wear them all the time regardless of if you are listening to anything. Ignore attempts to distract. Practice and say, “sorry, focused right now” and go back to work.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
I know this is unpopular, but I don’t understand why people care so much about which storefront they use to buy a game. I buy it where it is cheapest.
Hell, Epic takes less of a share of the sale. It is better for devs.
For me, the social aspect of the store I buy games from is irrelevant.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t call the 2024 primaries fair. Biden was ordained, like Clinton.
There’s a reason these predetermined candidates keep losing.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
The Democratic Party needs to run a candidate that is elected through a fair primary process. When this happens, dems win.
2008 - Obama was popular and won the primary 2012 - same 2016 - It was deemed Clinton’s turn, she was given every advantage, and lost 2020 - Biden won the primary as elected by the people, then won again 2024 - Harris was given the candidacy without having to primary, and lost
It is a simple trend.
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 2 months ago:
Who care how someone else uses the bathroom.
Your questions.
-
no. That’s silly. If you are doing #2, you do both sitting.
-
yes, but decades of practice mean I can stand and pee in nearly any mental state
-
reasonably clean. I’ve good aim and we clean the floor regularly
-
to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!

- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:
Few exist, but they do exist.
The issue is that many times in the past when men have tried to creat men only groups, they get called sexist and forced to open the group.
Men aren’t allowed to discuss their issues (men’s rights discussion is seen as hate), they aren’t allowed to discuss that they aren’t allowed to discuss men’s issues ( this is seen as hate ). Because men are seen as privileged.
I fully expect hate for this comment and I won’t engage.
- Comment on GTA 6 may "disappoint" players hoping for a technological "jump", says former Rockstar North tech director 4 months ago:
What I’m reading here isn’t that GTA6 will be a new short story made in the GTA5 engine that has the sole purpose of pushing people into GTAO2.

Unfortunately many of these platforms treat a block as an interaction.
There is no way to ignore these posts without triggering an interaction.
As others said, it is truly the goal of these sites to make you angry.

The same person that asked you to respond with this nonsense.

Millennial Americans will cook, if it is t too complicated.
GenZ Americans won’t cook unless it is putting something in the microwave.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 7 months ago:
I still believe their naming conventions has destroyed the brand.
Grandma that wants to buy a toy for their kids can go to the store and buy the next PlayStation. Xbox… which one do they buy? They don’t, they buy the easy option.
- Comment on Palia developers lay off a third of staff just weeks after cosy life sim's Steam launch 8 months ago:
Video game developer here. It has been happening since the games industry started. Frequently, early games were made by contractors that were let go at the end of a project.
Many studios have done this for decades. Many developers actually like this as contract work pays differently than salary work and gives different freedoms.
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 8 months ago:
Unfortunately, I don’t have a good answer for you.
I built a new Pc last year and decided to put win11 on it to judge the OS for myself. In all reality, it doesn’t feel much different than win10. Boot up is fast, startup is fast, everything just works.
Sorry I can’t provide more info.
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 8 months ago:
Why would I acknowledge an issue that doesn’t exist for me?
You are barking up the wrong tree here bud. I use the right tool for the job, for me that means windows for my personal machine, Linux for work or special purpose machines.
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 8 months ago:
Not sure what point you are trying to make here.
I’m not having any computer problems.
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 8 months ago:
PEBKAC
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 8 months ago:
I wouldn’t know how that feels. Did it once and haven’t had an issue since.
I think some people here like to shit on windows just to shit on windows and haven’t actually used win11
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 8 months ago:
Also not an issue when you disable this in windows.
- Comment on On social media we have these huge conversations where nobody involved has any actual experience. They're just repeating what other people said. Isn't that literally insane? 10 months ago:
When this happens on a topic with which you have expert level knowledge, it is so blindingly obvious and eye opening just how wrong every other conversation may be. It strongly suggests having a highly critical eye on any topic.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 10 months ago:
Suicide Squad.
I started last night after work and had to force myself to go to bed. The movement and combat in the game are a ton of fun and giving me Doom Eternal vibes. Dancing around the battlefield, using the right attack on the right npc, and just making things explode.
It’s damn fun.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 11 months ago:
Nothing is wrong with it. It is just another games store.
- Comment on What future AI applications are you most excited about? 11 months ago:
Perfect glasses.
Glasses that are able to change based on if you are looking at something close or far away.
Able to see close up just fine, but far away is blurry? When loooking at something close, the lenses reform to no magnification.
Now, make that into a contact lens. Glasses and people with seeing disability are now a thing of the past!
- Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users 1 year ago:
I understand it is a YouTubers shop but it is still an ad.
- Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users 1 year ago:
An ad is an ad. If YouTube premium’s point is to remove ads then this should be included. Otherwise what’s the point? We should all just go back to using ad blockers.
We should not pay for content twice. Viewing ads is paying for content. Paying for premium is paying for content.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 1 year ago:
Good call. That’s exactly what I do. I haven’t applied to a job like this m, but it seems like a good enough way to estimate.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 1 year ago:
Unfortunately, this level of job regularly pays 200k plus or minus a bit. So I doubt it was a fat finger unless they meant 175-395.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 1 year ago:
Was looking at a job posting for a role in CA and the range was, I shit you not, 75k-395k.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
This is exactly the right path to take, imo.
The only goal of playing a game should be to have fun and/or enjoy yourself. Any other goal can aid in that original goal but as soon as a goal (finish the game) becomes a chore, I quit and move to another game.
We need to remind ourselves (me included) that games are for entertainment and to waste time. That’s it.
- Comment on Why do people road rage? 1 year ago:
STOP DRIVING 55 IN THE LEFT LANE ON A ROAD WITH A 65 SPEED LIMIT.
GO WHEN THR FUCKING LIGHT TURNS GREEN.
WHEN TRAFFIC SPEEDS UP. YOU SPEED UP TOO.
USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNAL.
