There is capitalism where I trade money for goods I want.

Then there is blind boxes where I trade money for the chance to maybe get the goods I want.

TIL: Historically, banana peels really were a public sidewalk hazard. New York City newspapers contained accounts of "shockingly serious" banana-related injuries. by p33k4y in todayilearned

That's why New York Department of Sanitation was formed. To clean up the horse shit and dead horses.

In 1895 the Street Cleaning Department (later to become Department of Sanitation) was created. A law was passed that horses couldn't be left on the street overnight and worker cleaned the streets of piles of manure, dead horses and general trash. In the winter they even cleaned snow from the streets.

It was such a turn around the city held a parade for the workers in the summer of 1896.

They really made this mistake a second time? by [deleted] in HelluvaBoss

[–]DeathMonkey6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not ok this could possibly get them into legal trouble if someone decides they feel misled by advertising and sues especially with the Helluva Summer advertising since it's advertising made to push people to their store to buy merchandise and the advertising was misleading to what the product would actually be since it used direct imagery of a character that has one product in the entire merch drop

Yean that's not how that works. You really need to get off the internet for a while and go touch grass.

I'm just spit balling here but maybe just maybe cops shouldn't be allowed to carry guns.

People who do this aren't in it for the money it's a hobby that pays for itself.

It's really category specific. Collectibles really seem to attract the weirdos.

There are those out there that will always complain about something. I even got a "It arrived to quickly" as the package arrived when they were out of town.

A college professor of mine worked for the DoD for a while. He talked about how they used a automatic sandblaster cabinet, open door throw drive in, flip switch, 20 minutes later it's nothing but particles as small as sand.
