  • Mark Robinson Says He is Suing CNN

  • I saw something the other day where they were interviewing some people from a republican group in North Carolina. Their response was basically that it's a non-issue for them. Even if every awful thing about him is true, they said they aren't electing saints, they're electing politicians.

  • Vance mocked for saying eggs cost $4 — while standing in front of a dozen for $2.99

    Jump

  • The conservative folks I talk to always, always, always bring up the price of eggs and the price of gas when they are talking about how bad the economy is these days.

    I've heard "Groceries have doubled in price." many times. Obviously I can't prove that's not true for them, but then I ask what items that they buy regularly have doubled in price? The answer: "Eggs".

    Okay, so what else, I know that eggs alone do not make up your entire grocery bill? "Everything". That's pretty much all I get.

    Even if they can tell me a few more things that have doubled in price, it's basically going to be outliers or things I know for a fact they rarely/never buy. Like when it comes to the eggs, they'll make claims like "eggs are $10 a dozen", but when pressed about it, you find out they're talking about the gourmet premium brand that's always been way more expensive than the cheap ones and which they've never purchased in their entire lives.

  • Amazon's system marked an item I returned a year ago as not received and charged me for this return, but the chat bot already knew they had received it.

  • Nah, that's just a cop-out if not an outright strawman.

  • It's not surprising here on Lemmy, but on pretty much every other site I've ever mentioned issues I've had with Amazon, the replies would be filled with people claiming it is the best customer service, that they've never had any issues with Amazon at all, and that it must be something I did to cause the problem.

    Personally I stopped using Amazon on a regular basis almost a decade ago after it was clear that the company I first started using back in the mid 2000s was irrevocably changed for the worse.

  • Not going to lie, I kind of wonder if Anna Kilgore named her cat Miss Sassy in honor of Lindsey Graham.

  • When you think of it, so many of them are immigrants. They don't belong in our suburbs. They don't belong in our homes. They should go back to the desert where they belong. But no, instead they're pricking us with their thorns and I shudder to think what they're doing to our pets and the wildlife.

  • Riding in the car with the windows rolled up and them smoking away.

    Jump

  • Where I live, the indoor smoking bans started in the early 2000s. Before then, people that went to bars and clubs ended the night smelling like cigarette smoke whether they themselves were smokers or not. Sometimes even eating out at a restaurant would leave you smelling like a smoker. Back in those days, though, I was still so used to it that dealing with it was second nature.

    For most of my life the smell didn't really bother me, but I've found that within the past 5 years or so it does.

    As a child, I guess I just grew up with it, so it didn't bug me much. I hated being teased about it at school, which was a regular thing. I also used to hate how the tar would build up on the walls of our house to the point where it would form tear-like patterns. My parents kept an otherwise reasonably clean and tidy house, but for some reason THAT didn't bother them, so periodically I'd spend a few hours scrubbing our walls to get rid of the stains and cut down on the smell a bit.

  • Riding in the car with the windows rolled up and them smoking away.

    Jump

  • My parents ,much of my family, as well as most of their friends smoked indoors, in their cars, and even in restaurants. Despite living in near poverty for parts of my childhood, they chain smoked cartons of cigarettes a week. Must have been expensive.

    I wish I could say that they stopped smoking, but no. The worst part for them isn't even the fact that they know that it has taken at least a decade or more off their lives. It's the realization at how much they are missing out on near the end of their lives and how difficult it is living with debilitating health issues from smoking. They simply cannot do what other people their age take for granted.

    And to the title of the post: Yes, I was the kid in the car while my parents chain smoked cigarettes. Sometimes they rolled the windows down, though I'm not sure if that was better since it meant the ashes and red hot "cherry" would inevitably come flying back in and smack me in the face.

  • Why you peeing in that thing, bro? The two big arches ought to be enough for any halfway intelligent person to realize that you're supposed to stick your buttocks there not your beanie-weenie. Dries out your logs so that they don't make as big a mess when you pick them up to toss them into the sink.

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

    Jump

  • My credit card offers virtual credit card numbers AND the ability to auto-lock the virtual numbers so you can set a date and after that the number will not accept new charges.

    I make sure to use a virtual card number for everything subscription based, then I immediately set the auto-lock feature to expire in a few days (give the initial charge time to clear but still plenty of time before the subscription would otherwise renew).

    Some subscription services make it super tough to cancel. This method fixes that issue for the most part. Some subscription services terminate immediately once you cancel the subscription, even if you still have "time left" otherwise. This way you don't really have to formally unsubscribe. It's easy peasy pumpkin breezy as the common folk like to say.

  • When someone asks a thing like this on Lemmy, look up the same thread on Reddit (guaranteed to find it was recently also posted there) and copy-pasta some of the top posts. Guaranteed worthless internet up arrows.

  • USPS' long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut to rave reviews from carriers

    Jump

  • Sort of weird looking by current standards. I don't know how long it will be before I see one of these. I live in a rural area, and our local USPS seems to use personal vehicles I guess? I don't really know for sure, but they don't drive the standard white and blue box that USPS drivers had when I lived in more urban/suburban settings.
