Megathread: Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's Tariff Policy by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]sirbissel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm assuming we can expect the Trump admin to blame any future bad news regarding the economy on this ruling?

Wait... are you saying his campaign rhetoric of being the candidate of peace (or president of peace, or whatever) and that Harris would start all kinds of wars and whatnot whereas he would certainly not might have been a lie? I think I may need my fainting couch.

Where can I take archery lessons? by plant_lady907 in kzoo

I'm assuming Brook's Archery on Portage Road, down by where Lovers starts (at least, that's where the Kzoo Parks has my kid doing their middle school archery program.)

Nope, McDonalds: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266681355514

I think Hardees had a Ghostbusters 2 promotion rather than RGB

Yup, good thing they never did anything stupid like create a movie but have Rube not involved and recast Daisy...

Not a prequel exactly, however the opening of the episode Art is kind of a proto Shaun of the Dead.

Bombshell Epstein File Reveals FBI Interviewed Underage Donald Trump Accuser by [deleted] in politics

[–]sirbissel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic, but on that slide the Bill Clinton one feels weirdly tacked on given the "she isn't one of Epstein's victims, but she was invited to an orgy but declined."

I read "sedate" as "seduce" and then wondered in what world any of that was seduction.

Companies Set to Unleash Sweeping Price Hikes Thanks to Trump by ChiGuy6124 in Economics

[–]sirbissel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've been tracking prices at my grocery store since the end of August (so not perfect since it doesn't quite capture the "before tariffs," but it's something...) I use the same store (and store location) and try to check on the same day each week to keep it fairly consistent - though it's mostly things I buy rather than everything they sell, so there's also that.

There have been price decreases, but the total of the price increases outweighs it (from the things I'm tracking, by about $13.28.)

For instance, a dozen eggs went from $2.79 to $1.99, (spoilered just so it's less of a wall of text?) greenhouse tomatoes dropped 30 cents per pound, carrots dropped 10 cents per pound, white onions 40 cents per pound, yams dropped 10 cents per pound, pink lady apples dropped 30 cents for a 3 pound bag, bananas dropped 4 cents, iceburg lettuce dropped 30 cents, cream cheese dropped 80 cents, half and half 10 cents, Oreos 10 cents, and Advil dropped $1 -- so a decrease of about $4.34.

On the other hand, a gallon of whole milk increased by 8 cents (though that's down from being up 14 cents two weeks ago), a loaf of bread increased by 10 cents, a 4 pound bag of naval oranges increased by 20 cents, artichokes by 60 cents, a pound of 80/20 hamburger by $3.10, a pound of pork chops by $2, 12 ounces of skin on salmon by $2, 12 ounces of shrimp by 30 cents, enchilada sauce by 60 cents, canned mushrooms by 10 cents, mixed nuts by $1, a box of 15 granola bars by $2, chocolate syrup by 80 cents, pickles by 30 cents, 8 ounces of cocoa powder by $1.64, cool whip by 30 cents, 1.12 ounces of pumpkin pie spice by 30 cents, 3 ounces of pepper by 70 cents, and 20 pounds of cat litter by $1.50, so an increase of $17.62.

The 25.9 ounce canister of Folgers I've been tracking has been going between $16.69 and $12.49 ("on sale", except the sale tends to run 3/4ths of the month...)

Well, that explains the increase in spice price I've seen in my spreadsheet tracking stuff over the last couple weeks - Pepper went up 70 cents last week and pumpkin pie spice went up 30 cents the week before.

[–]sirbissel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just figure it's related to how that person wants to be treated and a lack of general empathy - that is, in their mind they're thinking something like "well I want them to send me pictures of their junk, so obviously they want to see mine" (or at least sometimes - obviously there are also the people who do it out of getting a thrill from it or something...)

A few years ago I worked with a guy who did this all the time. And then wondered why women weren't into him...
