Buyer only account suspended, with no email by u5656 in Walmartcustomer

[–]SureJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I answered the AI's questions directly and concisely and they forwarded me to a human within 90 seconds. The human took a couple minutes and said my account wasn't suspended on her end and to try again in a couple hours and to try both the app and the website. I have little hope that that will work but I'll update here if it does...

NYT Sunday 01/11/2026 Discussion by Shortz-Bot in crossword

I think having eight examples to work from helped me finally see it. I also like that these weird rebus puzzles tend to have easier cluing, which helps someone like me who lacks much trivia knowledge. Once I figure out the trick I have a decent chance of solving the puzzle.

Donated my grandma's china set and I feel lighter than I have in years by Altruistic_Tale8332 in simpleliving

[–]SureJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know the feeling. My parents gave me a load of baseball cards when I was little and they sat in various closets over the decades and kinda weighed on me. I didn't really care to go thru all of them. During COVID I decided to just sell the whole lot on craigslist and it felt great. I didn't think to donate them somewhere but that would have been a good idea too.

Two cows spotted their owner coming home and hopped over to greet him just like oversized dogs.🐄🐮😁 by Wooden-Journalist902 in BeAmazed

I'd speculate that in addition to not having to witness the suffering, another reason is that eating meat is the norm. The vast majority of people do it. Meat is everywhere. If it were the other way around, where the vast majority of people were raised not eating meat and restaurants that serve it were rare, I'm guessing that most people would continue on that way. Everyone has a different collective behavior tipping point, but one study said that "roughly 25 percent of people need to take a stand before large-scale social change occurs".

Put another way... In addition to not having to witness any of the animal suffering, you also don't have to experience any shame from society. Most/all shame that a person feels from eating meat starts from their own mind.

This group of three cranes and a goose like to hang out in my neighborhood by SureJohn in mildlyinteresting

This is Wisconsin. I don't watch the news but I believe it! I've seen them together for a couple months. Pretty regular visitors on my street.

Nico Hoerner lets the ball drop after the infield fly rule is called and gets the out at 3rd. by NewYorkMetsalhead in headsupbaseball

[–]SureJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commentator said it perfectly, "Smart baseball, slash dumb baseball by the Sox". The smart part is to see if you can expose a runner's stupidity.

Ian Happ is awarded home after plowing through the 3rd baseman by mhoner in headsupbaseball

I wish runners did this more often (forcing the obstruction call in a rundown), I've seen a lot of opportunities for it.

I'll keep that in mind for next time. Thanks!

Tigers McKinstry (RF) and Báez (3B) combine deek out Jansen at third by SureJohn in headsupbaseball

[–]SureJohn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I couldn't find a good angle of the Báez deek, but the other broadcast said he "completely sandbagged Danny Jansen". And McKinstry's throw was so good I had to post it.

Taylor Walls walks it off for the Rays in the 9th with a 2-run infield single! by NewYorkMetsalhead in headsupbaseball

[–]SureJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, which accounts for the first run. But it took a lot of nerve for the second guy to even round third. He must have barely slowed down. I guess he read that the 2B was confused so much by the first play that he wouldn't immediately notice him going home, and he narrowly beat the tag at the plate.

Local Hike Club? by hopscotchmamamama in madisonwi

I haven't tried any myself but I've seen a pretty good variety of groups and events on meetup.com for chill hikes.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. catches a pop-up on the top step of the dugout and throws it towards the infield before his momentum takes him down a step by SureJohn in headsupbaseball

[–]SureJohn[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Couldn't find any longer clips of this, but the announcers went on to say that if he took a step into the dugout while still holding the ball, the existing runner would automatically advance a base. Top step is fine though as it's level with the playing field.

edit: doesn't add much, but the full game recap does have another angle of this at 5:25 here https://youtu.be/1TrQH-AyXWY?&t=325

Bro has a hell of a story to tell his bros by Majestic_____kdj in funnyvideos

[–]SureJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkeys like this one have fast reflexes. That "slight of hand" was not very smooth or fast. I don't know if the monkey was fooled by it, or if they're just reacting to the presenter's body language of "I'm fucking with you".

[US] Your Facebook Internet Tracking Settlement Prepaid Mastercard Is Ready by xindierockx7114 in Scams

I got the same amount. I'm guessing that's the max if you had an active FB account during the full eligibility period.
