Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.
My apartment complex has a Facebook group that serves the same purpose. It’s kind of a mess.
Last week someone posted their security camera footage showing some homeless guy (in his-vis) casing their patio. The neighborhood watch quickly confirmed this scumbag had been poking around the property for days. A police report was created. People went out looking for him.
A couple hours later, the maintenance guy replies to the thread saying the guy is a contractor fixing damaged decks. There are signs up everywhere about it. People got email notifications. And yet they still found a way to create a panic and also waste the cops’ time.
Any time there’s a “popular” thread in that group, it’s always something like that.
My advice is to never join any online community with your neighbors. It’ll just scare you by how fucking stupid the average person is.
What if I watched the entire porn spoof?
Never have I ever seen Titanic.
Sounds right, and I’m sure worried. They rolled through Kyiv in 3 days because they’re so prepared!
„They hate us for our freedom!“ eh?
I don’t think companies understand that the words “we will make a one time exception for you as a courtesy” is the magic incantation to ensure that customer never returns.
I got that from Staples last week because they did me a real solid by refunding my online order they cancelled instead of going to a store with ID and the invoice and original credit card. Who the fuck goes to a physical store to get a refund on an online order the company themselves cancelled?!
Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.
Every piece of shit they make that I bought ended up broken and in the trash within a couple of weeks.
If you eat a fang and it gouges into your skin and injects venom, did you eat it or did you get bitten?
Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!

lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is one the books I read during my formative years that I still think about a lot.
If you like graphic novels, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Great writing and great artwork.
Yeah but he’ll change every base unit to x, so now we measure acceleration in x/x^2 and volume is measured in x^3 and the highway speed limit is 80x/(x/60).
You can tweak this metaphor and get plenty of real life examples. Cats are obligate carnivores. There’s been lots of morons who went vegan and decided their cats could be vegan, too. I’ll leave guessing the outcome of that as an exercise to the reader.
Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?
“It’s a yes or no question” = “I want a yes or no answer”
I took photos at a friend’s wedding and most of the photos of his new wife had her wearing a lace veil.
I dumped all the photos into Picasso (precursor to Google Photos) and it did its background facial ID on everything. Then it suggested more photos that might also be tagged as her.
The extra photos were all just tables with tablecloths on them. It thought she was a tablecloth.
I think it was Gandhi who said “the best time to punch a nazi is 90 years ago. The second best time is today.”
