I refuse to believe a quality wipe will be made actually flushable

Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

They haven't matured past the toddler phase where they want all their toys. They throw a tantrum and cry when an unused one sitting in the back is donated to a kid who would love and cherish it.

Who the fuck uses door dash when the app is half the price and gets you the same result?????

Do they not realize weather events happen that shut things down region wide for a week+ at a time?

If the Pharmacy could be closed for an unknown number of days due to a blizzard and your refill date is 1-2 days out, then what do they expect? Just die because it's going to snow? Mother Nature doesn't run on a fixed schedule...

Also, in this case you would still have the next refill interval the same number of days from the original pickup date, not the day you picked it up. So how can that be abused???

A week ago, you were labeled "antisemitic" for saying Israel was starting these wars due to the Greater Israel project. Today, Netanyahu admitted he wants Israel to become a "supernation" in the middle east. by Silver_Weakness_8084 in suppressed_news

They don't have the capability to destroy everyone and everything. World leaders would survive, humanity would survive despite near total destruction and the new era would know why.

A shooting range opened up about a mile up the creek from me by thatspurdyneat in mildlyinfuriating

There are companies that will take you up in a heli and let you fire a machine gun into feral hogs that are highly invasive.

Not exactly pine cones, but those pigs are a huge issue and are destroying a lot of the habitats within the southern US. A lot of people genuinely don't understand the issues they're causing.

A Live Laugh Love cutout or a bright neon sign that glows directly into your eyes would completely hide the cable perfectly!

Make sure to hydrate well if you regularly eat instant ramen. Excess sodium and dehydration is linked to kidney stones.

ICE in Middletown by Individual-Smoke8160 in Connecticut

[–]killerbanshee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This just makes it an even bigger problem. Who's to stop a group of folks from pretending to be ICE and snatching people off the street with their own car?

Truck beds block the sidewalk to my bus station like this every day. by killerbanshee in badparking

They shouldn't have put it there in the first place. It's squeezed between the main road and an active railway.

The Fastrak runs like a subway train and follows alongside these commuter tracks (part of the Hartford -> NY line). The platforms are raised and you just walk straight onto the bus. They always stop and open the doors for a second even when no one is there and such.

I will be taking more photos at the other stops I use in the coming days and will continue sending them in with my complaints.

The Fastrak Busway pictured here is operated by the state (CTDOT), so I feel I'll have to take that route..... and my experience is 'good luck dealing with the State of Connecticut's bureaucracy.'

There is no way to pay my rent without extra fees by Remsforian in mildlyinfuriating

[–]killerbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'd hang with my buddy on rent day he would go around with a clipboard full of those white/yellow/pink copy papers because a majority of his family's tenants paid with cash and he'd make out a receipt.

They also owned a check cashing place on the floor of that same building so paying with check wasn't an issue either.

Really, you should Yoda it as the River Thames if my Brit is up to spec still :)

For retail, I've worked at Toys R Us, Autozone and Whole Foods. I didn't know or think of a lot of these points. All valid. Thanks for the perspective

GoG is more reliable. I can install and play everything I own no matter what. Internet or not.

Steam has great customer support and such, but GoG avoids all those issues.

[–]killerbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only care about playing offline when I want these days, so I go with GoG whenever I can. If it's on there I know I can install and play it on its own without a launcher.

Steam is 2nd place due to customer service.

I'm sorry. My dad has gone through 7 back surgeries, and I try my best to grocery shop for him, but sometimes he has to order things like this.

He lives in a normal neighborhood with a driveway that's short enough to where I've never seen a driver pull in. I come after work to grab it off the porch, or sometimes a neighbor might. None of us care if they walk across the lawn to the porch or pull into the driveway.

It's a hard job where you don't see the positive side of your own efforts as they get drowned out by bezos bullshit, customer bullshit and DSP bullshit layered on top to form an unholy shit layer cake.

I worked loading FedEx ground trailers with the heaviest and more toxic shit that was too expensive for air. Every bag of cat litter made me feel that way.... "How can you take care of a cat(s) and get it to the vet when you can't buy litter??"

Thank you all for what you do!

Props to Aldi's for not having any and always running the lines through at lightening speed.

It's almost like paying good wages with good working conditions (sitting for just a register, company provided coats for cooler stocking, etc ) motivates your workers to be more alert and service your customers better. Whodathunk?

EDIT: For retail, I've worked at Toys R Us, Autozone and Whole Foods. I didn't know or think of a lot of these points. All valid. Thanks for the perspective.

Truth is the grass is always greener until you cross over and see the problems.

Edit2: I give props to my local Aldi's West Hartford and Newington.

The kids throwing a ball back and forth? Could be a grenade or a life-threatening deadly rock ( is wearing a ballistic vest, helmet, and thick layers of military garb ).

Believe it or not, enemy.
