  • What’s up I’m a employeed, tax paying, US citizen. And I would suggest that anybody take advantage of the limited oversight over the Walmart self checkouts

    These cock suckers decided that they would raise the prices on everybody under the cover of inflation. They did this knowing that it would drive people to suicide, it would drive people to be homeless, it would break part families and crush the American dream for so many people but they did it anyway.

    It’s called plausible deniability… if you forget something in the self checkout, just be a nice person and say it was a mistake, and they will let you slide most of the time. Worst case scenario you have to go back in and pay. Best case scenario you get a bunch of free steak or something.






  • I never put this kind of plastic on the microwave. But I also worry about paper plates, which have some kind of polyethylene coating that is really really hard to find any info about online. Ive fucking eaten cheese that has been boiled on a “paper” plate, only to find that those plates were coated in some kind of polymer.

    By the way, the insides of aluminum cans are coated in plastic.

    Sweet dreams!




  • Temu, Shein, Alibaba and even Amazon are full of unsafe products not manufactured under sufficient quality standards.

    Recently we bought some plates for a party that had gold metallic polka dots on them. I was able to use a plastic fork to scrape off these polka dots. People were eating cake off these plates. The metallic paint was going into people’s mouths.

    Also, many of these products are only designed to last for a short time before they break, so we are literally filling landfills with this plastic junk we get sent over to us from China by the shipping container load.

    I see this being treated as good news, and in some ways it is a relief to not see RTF files anymore, but the fact that the most popular operating system in the world now no longer has a free word processor included isn’t great when you consider that Microsoft Word is a separate expense. They could have done the work to make a better free word processor but they decided to just scrap it instead. That is some Google shit.


  • That’s all they could come up with?

    Man, I used to moderate small and medium-sized subreddits, and all we really wanted was to be able to audit spoof accounts and to be able to shut down report spamming. Why? Because users harass moderators, that’s why. And reddit would always play this game of promising new mod tools and never delivering. And now, this is what they give. Unreal. A fucking trophy.

    What about IPO shares? What about discounts or credits for reddit services? What about a simple thank you for cleaning up their site?
