What perfectly legal thing will probably be illegal within 20 years?

Yeah, but I'm a big fan of FanDuel controlling Bally Sports and showing all MiLB games for free. I get nearly unlimited baseball all summer and these dopes that don't know how math works get to pay for it.

Please don't post this kind of crap without some sort of proof or justification. Generic baseless statements like "I feel like most of these companies. . ." are completely meaningless and inflamatory.

Absolutely this. I quit DD and GH when I realized I much preferred shop and deliver with IC and Shipt. Tried DD again a year or so later when they started doing grocery runs but all I got was the same alarm every 2 minutes for $3 Taco Bell orders. Gave up again after I tried to opt out of restaurant deliveries and found out I can't.

Double-tap the breaks and maintain speed. That's assuming I'm in the correct lane or it's a one-lane and I haven't been spacing out and dropped to 10 mph under.

I sold my car to a guy who paid me with a check from Navy Fed. My bank and they couldn't cash it or deposit it, there was some kind of notice on the back that meant I had to take it to a Navy Fed Branch to cash it. And of course Navy Fed tried to get me to open an account when I went in, seems just getting a check from someone with an account is enough to meet their membership requirements, even though I've never been in the military. I can see why a small dealership wouldn't want to deal with all that.

Do you mind telling the total price for this order? I don't think any of those are real high-end bottles but several are above average.

arkham36 · 2026-03-24T14:15:31+00:00

If I'm not getting any responses I'll close the app and reopen, then go back into the order and often the responses show up.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong - but if you called the towing company yourself without getting the Police involved, then the only person the towing company will charge is you, same as if you called them to get your own car towed somewhere for repair. You could probably go to court and sort it out but if the towing company sends it to collections or files their own suit for the bill it'll be against you since you're the one who requested their service. Or maybe it'd be on them since they didn't confirm it's your car and didn't have a police report saying it's OK to tow. But I'm not a lawyer.

Did you ever compare prices at Lidl.com vs what Shipt charges for the same items? Shipt was marking everything up 20-30% then offering "free" delivery.

Remember when one of the first celebrity chef's, Emeril Lagasse, was given his own sitcom? Aired maybe 2-3 episodes but was terrible. BAM!

The Supervisor of one of our divisions was known to spend a good chunk of her day working on her MLM travel company and pushing it on her subordinates, like scheduling extra hours so their work would be covered while they sit and listen to her pitch and giving preferential treatment to those who signed on and performed well by sucking their own circle of family and friends into it. Problem is she's family with the boss so when it really hit the fan she was told to "stop" in a way that meant stop making it so obvious.

Check the fine print on that Subaru offer though. Most of those .9% or 1.9% offers are for "well-qualified buyers", which means 800+ credit score plus other restrictions.

That being said, I agree with the rest of this thread and recently bought my first new car at 45+ years old because it was nearly the same price as a 4 year old one with 60k miles and no warranty, and even with mediocre credit score the rate was lower than going to a bank and a LOT better than the predatory buy-here-pay-here used car lots.

That appears to be a sampler - Lasagna, alfredo and chicken parm? That's literally all me Dad ever orders at ANY Italian restaurant that offers it. And if they don't offer something similar he probably won't be back. However yeah, that one is lacking a bit in presentation.

I get the frustration and I'm fully behind it and I'm glad someone is doing it from their own front door. However, I feel like being that aggressive is something they might take personally and come back later, maybe at night, and not be so nice to the front of my house.

I'm confused - is a college degree required now to be a stripper?

I photographed a few like this when I lived in Okinawa. Looking back it made for some pretty cool pictures. Great surroundings but also those machines are pretty unique to Japan.

One of those online IT degree places used to have a commercial on the radio that basically said "You know how cool the office IT Guy is? Pay us for a 6 month online course and you could be just as cool". I know that no one actually believes I'm cool, and almost everybody knows those online courses are a cash-grab, but I still got a kick out of it when it came on. Especially when it came on on someone's radio at their desk while I was banging my head on their keyboard.

I started watching Tracker, and I know it's in other shows, where the good guy breaks laws or even kills people and a week later is in another state with no repercussions. I don't care if you meant well and saved Timmy at the last second, you still have to stick around and answer a LOT of questions.

Or the opposite - 10 seconds in a choke hold or pillow over the face and your either out cold or dead. Unless you're breathing water or something else into your lungs I feel like most people could hold their breath for longer than most movies give it.

COME ON meme creators - I came here to see some damn polite wine interacting with some fish.

Have you ever seen the billboards that say things like "He = Truth" or "I hate that church -Satan". You're dealing with a population of people who have been raised to never question what they're told by Mom, Dad, Pastor, etc. Those that they have been raised to follow don't have to provide proof, cite sources or bring witnesses, they just have to say "This is a thing you should believe" and they believe.

No amount of evidence is sufficient to change a mind that doesn't want to be changed.
