How do you feel about shopping in stores?
  • Half the time I didn't even bother looking in the store she something when I know I can get it off of Amazon I'm like a day.

    I've been looking for Dot's Pretzels around me and can't find them at Publix, CVS, or Walgreens. Amazon has them for one day delivery.

  • Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face.
  • I understand what you're saying, but if you've ever uploaded a picture or video of yourself to the Internet, they already had enough for surveillance.

    A lot of people don't care that much and opting out is your right if you do care.

  • Sunday Was Earth's Hottest Day on Record.
  • They live in NJ and I moved to Miami back in October, it's been practically the same temperature in both places (for those not in the US, Miami is subtropical, New Jersey is 1300 miles north and has a coastal climate) for about the past month. The only difference is that it's about 10-20% more humid down here in Florida. The "Real Feel" is always within a few degrees though. For a few days here and there it's been hotter in NJ.

  • Careless Whisper on One Guitar (Alex Misko)

    This has to be the most beautiful version of Careless Whisper I've ever heard. It was posted six years ago, but thousands of us only discovered it a few days ago in a YouTube short uploaded by a different account.

    I went to post it on Reddit under /r/BeAmazed (even though that sub has been garbage for years)... and apparently you can now only post links to there from Reddit itself and IMGUR 😂

    I don't even know why I both with Reddit anymore

    I'm a dude, but I frequently browse BadWomansAnatomy. I was having a (calm, respectful) debate with a few users regarding how a lot of people that have "transitioned" still bear hallmarks of their former gender (I mentioned one of my long time friends who has gone from MTF and still looks the same. Kaitlin and Elliot are also good examples). The ban was because I dared to use the "dead names" of Elliot Page and Kaitlin Jenner! Oh the horror! 😱

    I went to post in /r/rant how I just thought it was ridiculous and it was autoremoved because I mentioned the world "mod" in the title and I mentioned a specific community 🤣

    "I reject sexual labels by assigning one to myself that means I hate labels"

    I saw this on a (scammy) dating app and thought it was hilarious.

    Weight Lifting: How are you supposed to know the weights of unlabled things?

    I started lifting weights (again) and accurately tracking my progress (I bought a "cheap" workout and weight loss plan, which requires a lot of data so you can see your progress (or regress)). When bench pressing and doing squats on the (Cybex) Smith Machine I had assumed that the bar weighed 45 pounds like a free bar does and added it to the total weight. It wasn't until my most recent session (finished about 30 minutes ago) that I realized that the bar doesn't in fact weigh 45 pounds....but weighs anywhere from 7 to 30 pounds, according to what I saw from a quick search. I should have realized that it wasn't 45 pounds because it felt pretty light. Google says that the average weight tends to be about 15 pounds, but I have no idea.

    I was also using the (Cybex) overhead should press machine and saw that the plates past 50 pounds went in 15 pound increments. Then I noticed the additional weight at the top, disabled by a pin. When I lowered it down on to the stack there was no number on it. Was it 5 pounds? 7.5 pounds? 10 pounds? Who knows?

    How are people supposed to know how much weight they're lifting if things aren't numbered properly? They have these huge stickers that say everything, but they can't put "bar weighs 15 lbs" on it?

    The amount of plastic from a Kinder Bueno 4 pack

    Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.

    I don't think I've ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.

    Wow, it's really become a shithole there

    It's been going downhill for a while but I feel it's gotten exponentially worse. Someone made a post under "insane facebook people" which had a picture of a sign on a hospital patient's door that said "please knock before entering I wear a veil". I said "you have to cover your face or Mohammed will smite you!" (which is literally the reason they do it) and the mod perma-banned me for violating a "rule". I called them a power hungry loser and said it was clearly a sarcastic comment...and they responded by calling me a Republican (which confuses the hell out of me) and blocked me from responding to them for 3 days.

    Someone else posted in the New York City thread saying "inflation is out of control, this place wants $15 for a bacon, egg and cheese!" and everyone there was supporting the place that charged $15. Any comment OP made was immediately downvoted to hell, regardless of the content.

    People were calling someone from a story posted a "pedophile" in another sub because they found an adult (18 years old) attractive. When someone else was like "umm a pedophile is someone that's attracted to pre-pubescent children..." everyone was just like "shut up pedo! You just want to fuck kids!".

    Everyone seems to have a hair trigger, is insane, or loves to rage-bait/troll just for the fun of it.
