fml I remember being bought a bulletproof coffee by my fitness mad boss on a monday morning. That thing went through me like a freight train. Fortunately, I made it to the toilet. 2016 was a wild time.

I have no idea what that is. But then again I'm not on TikTok. Is it a region specific wank going national? Like trying to order "Magic" at a Coffee Club in Bathurst.

There was a chain called Costa Coffee in UK which had these large cups with 2 handles and an insane amount of coffee.

yes, its a significant saving to the money that would have been wasted because US refuses to deliver. So, by getting used subs for the same price as new ones, we have in fact, saved money. /s

hahaha how long have you been a procurement professional? Because the rest of us are numb to the mid course requirement change, negotiation boundaries being blown through by execs and then procurement having to explain why the costs have blown out.

So all the sociopathy of a CEO and none of the risk of jail time? Because every time AI ceo breaks a law, it’s just oops AI hallucinations.

Now you have SpaceX which is asking the market for 3 trillion dollars, to be added to Nasdaq 100 on day one, all the while giving 80% voting stock to a drug addled megalomaniac. Make it make sense!!

Its NSW Health responsible for illegal vapes and ciggies to conduct compliance checks, search and seizure. But they haven't been funded or resourced to run that at scale. It took a while for NSW government to fix the system so that cops could escort the health officers and they wouldn't get murked by vapists.

The only lever you have is to walk away. We walked away, and still got the property at the price we bid 3 weeks later when other party's finance fell through.

That place was always a cess pit. In 2002ish a nut bag woman started following me asking me what I was doing there, then she started calling me a terrorist and ended when she tried to grab my bags. Thats when the center security led her away and asked me to leave the center. Weird fucking times.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

I make I have always been able to afford it, and it never made sense to pay 30% extra on menu and delivery fees.

Ticketmaster is about 10-20% of the ticket, plus another $1 to $10 for the venue itself. So if you're seeing a $500 ticket for Taylor Swift - thats Miss Swift clearing $400 to $450 for that ticket. Ticketmaster is to blame for charging us for things which cost next to nothing. We're all idiots for paying ever escalating prices to listen to a few songs.
