  • Weird, about half of the sales during that time period for me were with plastic, but I lived in a city, so maybe that's the difference.

  • The thing about a cat, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes.

  • Yeah, I recall Spielberg being sad he made that movie and put so much misinformation about sharks into the world, since the movie contributed to the decimation of the shark population.

  • Sounds like your cat is having digestive issues with their cat food. Switch to a different food.

  • I read your comment and was trying to figure out why people were listening to an 8 year old Korean song, but realized you're probably talking about something else.

  • You act like 'children should be seen and not heard' was in the distant past.

  • The return policy is really what seals it for me. I've never had an issue with returning something, ever.

    Other places make it such a hassle and make you pay to return it.

  • I know 1 or 2 people buying cat litter every month and having it delivered, but why? Just go to the store!

    Subscribing to deliveries typically gives a discount, which makes the cost cheaper than going to the store and removes wear & tear on your vehicles and your own gas costs.

    Depending on what kind of litter you want, the store might not even carry it. My cat litter is from a major brand, but is one that doesn't get as much in stock at my local places and when itis in stock, it's rarely the cheaper, larger box, so that also increases the cost.

    Cat litter is fucking heavy. I don't blame anyone wanting it delivered to their door.

  • IRS successfully launches their own free Direct File - some of my fellow 'murcans are eligible

  • How have they been verifying mailed in tax forms with no pictures for decades?

    Seems like it unnecessarily disenfranchises the poor and the elderly. You have to have access to equipment that can record you and the tech savvy to be able to use it.

  • I don't know any American adult who doesn't have a government issued ID. You basically can't do anything without one.

  • Not really. There's a lot I don't see and can't access without having a FB account. It's been like that for years.

  • Disposable vapes to be banned in UK as part of drive to curb youth vaping

    Jump

  • While education helped sure, the real killer was changing smoking from being cool to being a stigma and laws stopping smoking from most public places.

    Smoking was changed from being cool to being gross. It makes you smell, it makes kissing you gross, etc etc. Vapes seem to have taken away some of those issues that really pushed the social stigma.

    Add to it that nicotine free vapes exist and people use those, so it's not the same singular target as tobacco. What you don't want is something that can be easily debunked making it seem like it's not that bad. (See the many stories of folks trying harder drugs because the DARE programs told them marijuana would be the same as LSD, only it's not).

  • Middle school removes bathroom mirrors to stop kids from making TikToks

    Jump

  • When I was a kid, there were pay phones so that kids could make calls for when they wanted to be picked up. And we had landline at home so that if you needed to make a call, you could.

    Those things don't really exist anymore. And now we have phones with apps that monitor medical conditions like diabetes. Let's single out those kids?

    In other situations, the front office is there. That is the function that they have served for generations. Give the office aides something to do.

    So make the office staff stay after hours so that the kids with after school activities can make a phone call? Yeah, because fuck the school staff, right?

    The horse has already left the gate. You're not going to get it back.

    According this NYT article from 1999, the medical arm of HP was announced to split off from the printer company 23 years ago.
