FB is also threatening bans for posting any links to it.

I need a bot then. I click through 7-8 of those and still don’t pass.

Bingo. Temu and Aliexpress. Same site, really.

Woodpecker or the item you can freely drop on the concrete floor without crying due to loss of investment.

The second hand market is 80% suck since 2021 or so. Everyone wants retail for their shit. And goodwill has decided to be “the last reseller” and priced accordingly.

.

People want to sell their beat up tools for $10 less than the full warranty with returns tool (router, brad nailer, palm sander, belt sander, recently, different sellers.) a plug in craftsman belt sander as old as my dad and you want what now?

.

Shirts. Even the best thrift store will have a $7-8 minimum on a used shirt. Meanwhile, I can get 2 for $10-12 on Amazon, new, with returns.

.

Photo paper is an uncommon thrift. Though I found two 5x7 packs for $1 each this year. They were in a box with wrapped postits and index cards so I think someone was confused.

.

Remember, time is a commodity. Killing a day and coming out empty handed isn’t for everyone.

Harbor Freight.

That’s going to catch some people, especially older ones.

Homestead Rescue is cool. That’s about it.

The last time I had cable was the year of 9/11. And that was only because I plugged in a stray cable on a whim and found that my upstairs apartment tapped into the the cable from the downstairs apartment.

Honestly, with internet, I never saw the point. And internet only cost $10-25/mo back then. Ofc, by about 2012 or so they became wise to that being the trend and started jacking the internet bill rates. And now internet costs the same as cable used to cost, or more, depending.

But I don’t think anyone ever did a GenX is Killing Cable TV headline.

Wrong tab. And half asleep posting after falling into bed after work. Deleted.

Just link off of the megathread if you have issues. As usual, subtitles are borked, but that’s it working as it usually does.

Not the first news story regarding weird stuff happening while people are under anesthesia.

This incident reads like the Bible in front of the church thing while he was President, except this time he was told “No.”

Like the supply chain increases of 20-21 that haven’t gone away even though the supply chain is better now, I think we know the answer.

And yet, someone posted a management company letter over in r/Wisconsin where they said they were raising rents now to offset the 5% rent increase cap proposed by Harris Walz.

Even the thought of not even fixing it but easing the burden of it is triggering the overlords.

They are the necessary mental respite between the headlines and bullshit. Working as intended.

Because there are too damn many sites for that and streaming services have used up all of that fund already. And at my age I still want a paper copy of the NYT crossword to carry around for the day if I do pay for it. iykyk.

I tapped in to type this. As most here have.

To be fair, if you look at the original movies, most of the universe info is not contained therein.

There are books. You can, for example, pluck a trilogy on Han Solo’s backstory off the shelf at Barnes & Noble. You could do that 15-20 years ago. The books are all written by an array of different authors though they all take place within the Star Wars universe. What is that if not professionally written fan fiction?

FF isn’t my thing, I’m not endorsing it, just stating what I encountered when I tried to read a book or two engaging the Star Wars universe in the past.

My elderly parent had this happen. Hobby is photography. Still used CS5. Boom, gone. Adobe wanted to sell a subscription plan when they called to figure out what happened, which just made them mad.

But now they’re sad and not engaging their hobby because they no longer have CS5.

Too bad I can’t get adobe on abuse of the elderly for this shit.
