  • My kitten loves his hammock in the bathroom window, but my neighbor's trash pile ruins pictures

  • This was my first thought as well.

    It's funny how many online people turn into libertarians the moment an HOA is mentioned.

  • So the highest level of government should be policing this? You don't think there should be any form of local government?

  • I'm onto you

  • How do you play 600 hours sitting up in a chair? That's not play. That's work.

  • you can just do stuff

  • I can't be certain, but the level of detail just feels off. He specifies the number of bolts, but glosses over setting up an alias?

    Having read the version of this story that's true, there's also a lot more to it than just "buying a sign from the supplier".

    The way this is written is how I'd write it for a creative writing class. Possible I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

  • Something like this has happened before.

    This, specifically, did not happen.

  • “I Almost D!ed After Being Denied Medical Care”: Conservative Christian Trump Voter Shocked to Learn Fetal Heartbeat Bill Applies to Her Too

  • It most likely doesn't. One of several reasons it was so fucked up.

  • My wife was denied medical care in Texas because she might be pregnant. There was no reason to think she might be, but they still wouldn't perform her mammogram, which was scheduled to follow up on a lump she found.

    She ended up taking a pregnancy test in a Whataburger bathroom near the doctor's office. That's the state of medical care in Texas for women.

  • They can't put ads in my game if i don't play their shit.

  • Love that game. The gameplay was not good, but the script was hilarious. They knew exactly how ridiculous the Skittles connection was.

    It's also where I learned that the singular of Skittles is "Skittles". No such thing as a Skittle.

  • Someone took a photo of me in the Miami airport and posted it on reddit

    Jump

  • I drew a comic of myself once that got turned into a meme. So I totally get how surreal it is to be scrolling through the front page of reddit and unexpectedly seeing a picture of yourself. Although mine was certainly under more pleasant circumstances.

    In any case you seem to have a positive outlook on the whole thing, which is great.

  • The candy and the DVDs come neatly packed in perfectly sized boxes.

    A messy bin is more work and takes up more space, but it makes shoppers feel like they're getting a better deal.

    I'm not making this up. It's a well-established thing.

  • Reminds me of this classic:

  • It's psychology. Physically engaging with the product makes customers more likely to purchase it. And having it be disorganized draws the customer's attention.

  • But one of the things Russian troll farms are paid to do is spread general anti-American sentiment. I'm not trying to explain away the comments; I'm describing a real thing that happens.

  • The image is reversed. The products were placed in the bin and then mixed up. Digging through a disorganized bin and touching all the products is Walmart's desired customer experience here. They sell more of certain products that way.

    So... good job doing all that hypothetical free work for a billion dollar corporation.

  • I appreciate your perspective.

    I'll do you one better and say that a lot of times it comes from chronically online Americans who got their opinion from said Europeans. And at least some of the time it's from third world bots whose marching orders are to spread any and every kind of anti-American sentiment.

    Lately I just prefer to put the opposing idea out into the aether rather than try to dig into a whole online argument.. thing.

  • There are large sections of the US that don't have consistent access to great food, so crappy fast food is what they get.

    Then there are other parts of the US where the fast food is amazing. Also the other food.

  • While we're at it, "gaslighting" is an abusive manipulation tactic to make someone doubt their own mind. It doesn't just mean "lying".

  • You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time.

  • It's ok to just not be that into gaming anymore. But if you are looking for a game to get into, they're out there.

  • Pretty positive you're just not seeing it, because 2025 has been awesome.

    Hades 2. Silksong. Split Fiction.

    If a Donkey Kong or a Mario Kart had come out in 1998, it'd be in this picture.

    And then I didn't play Death Stranding 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, or Blue Prince, but the word of mouth is excellent.

    Also Outer Worlds 2.
