Happy pride month
Women hate it when you kill their dog. Come to think of it, so do men and non-binary folk. Honestly it might not be a gendered thing
Maryland will become the first US state to ban surveillance pricing in retail stores, after passing Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Jesus fucking christ that this exists in the first place
I WAS FUCKING WONDERING WHAT THOSE DIGITAL PRICE TAGS WERE ABOUT SUDDENLY i had hoped they were so the workers didn't have to finagle those little papers into the slider part anymore đ
Hi, yes, that is the OFFICIAL excuse made to me by the guy replacing the paper tags with digital ones at my local Walmart, but the end goal is to remove the numbers off the shelf entirely, replacing them with QR codes that you have to scan with the appâŚ. Which requires your login informationâŚ.. and also stores your card information so even if you didnât use your Walmart account at the physical checkout, if you used a card they recognize, they assign that purchase to your Walmart account purchase history.
I explained very clearly to the manager my issue with the meat section not having the price tags listed, and they claimed it was only going to be for the meat, since meat is by weight, and the price of each item is printed on the packs of each item.
Sure. Thatâs how they get their foot in the door. Fast forward not even two weeks, and here we are:
Bar codes. No prices, no item descriptions. No price stickers on the individual items. Heck, not even the name of the item that is SUPPOSED to be there.
No. The only way to see the price is to scan it on your phone app, which is also recording what you looked at recently, as a way of gauging what you might be looking for in the future.
So hereâs what weâre gonna do gang:
Every time you go into a store that has implemented these price-less tags:
Take 1-3 items up to the cash register. Ask the cashier for the price, or hit the price check item on the self checkout, which will likely call over the attendant.
Express that you didnât actually want it, you just couldnât see on the shelf how much it was.
POLITELY, AND WITH A THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE CONFIRMATION, Give the items to the cashier or attendant to put back.
When they inevitably try to push the app, politely decline. If pressed for why not, say you donât want to have to carry your phone in-hand the whole time you are shopping in order to see how much things cost. (Not having cell service or data to use the app is NOT a valid excuse, as stores already often have complimentary WiFi AND more stores will provide WiFi rather than give up on this push for surveillance pricing)
If itâs a shelf-stable item, the cashier will have to set it aside, taking up room in their limited operating space, and eventually pass it off to someone to put in a holding area to put back later. If itâs a fridge/freezer item, it might have to get tossed due to food product sale regulations.
In either case, you are making it a pain in the ass for them to have these digital bar codes. Tie up the checkouts. Give the employees more busywork that the company has to pay them to do. Hurt their bottom line having to toss the pint of ice cream you carried around in your cart for 20 minutes before giving it back to the cashier.
Yes, call your reps. Yes, push for more legislation like this in more places. But also take an extra minute out of your shopping trip to MAKE IT HURT for companies to pull this shit.
I've seen some people in the notes express (very fair) concern that this is only going to inconvenience already under-paid laborers, and not have any impact on corporate. While I can't speak for every company or every store, I do work in a grocery store and I can tell you this is precisely the kind of thing that would have an impact, especially if people are doing it en masse. Stores absolutely track their shrink numbers, and they do draw distinctions between what gets stolen, damaged, or wasted for other reasons. If people are making it clear that the reason they're bringing things to the cashier is that the prices are not adequately represented on the displays, and rather than improving business it's wasting product, slowing down transactions, and causing confusion and mistrust in customers, that is a language that shareholders speak.
every time it rains i have the urge to say âwell our plan to stand alone in a field with a metal rod is outâ which no one ever recognizes is from phineas and ferb but usually kills anyway
I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

every time a website describes "appetite suppressant" as a feature of a type of food, i kill another hostage
"nuts are an appetite suppressant!" BECAUSE THEY ARE FOOD. YOU ARE LESS HUNGRY BECAUSE YOU ATE FOOD.
the diet industry is so unbelievably fucked and itâs in your fucking walls. âkeeps you full longer so you donât get hungry an hour after lunch when youâre trying to do somethingâ is a neutral statement of benefit but no we have to treat pistachios like crucial medicine in the war against basic bodily functions.
eating disorder recovery is just getting angry over and over again because food is treated like some horrible necessary evil instead of one of the great joys of life. eat some nuts because they taste good and you are a living thing that thrives on pleasure and calories. you need both.
I need to get some sleep but in case you need to hear it: you deserve to eat. your appetite is not the enemy. if you can, treat yourself to a filling meal of foods you love today. throw pistachio shells at people. be free.
DISCLAIMER: if you or your selected victim have a nut allergy, consider throwing rocks instead. I love you.
Guilt-free is the most evil thing I have ever seen printed on a food label.
oh god yeah I HATE that. that should refer to things like fair trade chocolate, not âlow fatâ

children are so fucking funny man. i just overheard a kid go âi just learned a new way to pinch, wanna see it? it hurts a lot more!â followed by a loud, notably pained scream
Ways to express the vibe of âOh. Oh.â without writing âOh. Oh.â
because we all know the line is a classic for good reason but perhaps a bit too cliche
Oh. Oh no, I know what this is.
Well. Thatâs inconvenient.
Wait, why isâŚ. OoooohâŚ.
Okay, I know what this looks like. But⌠Oh man, who am I kidding?
Wait⌠Oh.
âOh.â A blink. Then, slower, âOhâŚâ
âWaitâŚâ Fuck.
What? Why would I feel that way when⌠Oh.
This is going to hurt, isnât it?
âWhat theââ Oh.
Everything aligns just right then. Iâve been a damn idiot.
âOh my God!â ⌠Oh my godâŚ
Oh. Oh noâŚ
My hands are shaking and suddenly I understand why my throat feels tight and my heart is pounding. Iâm an oblivious fool.
Nope, nope. Not happening. ⌠âFuck.â
Oh. Oh?
yall arenât gonna believe this
I swear to god I tried to grab my phone but I couldnât without ruining the moment

IT IS A THING NOW
Important update: it has been several weeks and little mans still needs to inspect and rub his face on the shower head every single night before bed so after washing up and putting on my jimjams I then have to get up on a stool like
been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information
They missed. đ
These two giant turtles have been fighting each other for more than 120 years.
According to the zoo, one turtle stole the otherâs food 120 years ago, and since that day they became enemies.
There hasnât been a single day where they donât fight for 2â3 minutesđ
Anyone can be discarded by society
People get made fun of for being scared of aging but it comes from the very real fear of being discarded by society thatâs why i always say the goal is not to never become old or disabled the future comes for us all the goal is better social policy
It's so weird to me that blocking has turned into such a serious thing only reserved for if someone did something wrong. I witnessed some discourse a few months ago around some content creator blocking someone and it blew up. They were harassed for "blocking someone for no reason". And I was like ??? cause there was a reason. They simply didn't want to see the blocked person's posts.
Blocking does not have to be some big gesture. I block people for being assholes but I'm also willing to block someone for giving a dumb take about my fav character. I've blocked people because I was tired of seeing their posts in a tag I'm browsing. I've blocked people who had opinions I agreed with but they were an ass about it. I've blocked people simply because I didn't like their personality or the vibe they gave off.
It's not that deep. You don't have to save blocking for "bad" people. If it brings you peace then do it. I promise you that you'll enjoy your internet experience much more if you block instead of engaging with the thing that's upsetting you.
I canât remember if I told you guys this but my grandpa paid a guy to put up a rock retaining wall in the backyard when my grandparents moved into their house in 1966. They live at the bottom of a mountain. The wall finally collapsed this year and my grandfather with dementia was PISSED OFFFFFF and he wanted so badly to call the guy who did it and chew him out for doing a bad job. My grandma is trying to explain that the wall lasted 60 years and the guy who did the work is probably dead and it TURNS OUT HE IS STILL ALIVE. Now weâre worried grandpa is going to get through to him (small town) and weâre going to see two 85 year old men come to blows over a rock wall that has been there since the mid-60s. My grandpa is a scrapper, heâs been to jail over a bar fight, the possibility that he WOULD fight this guy is high.
To top it off? The stone mason is the only person in town with one arm so grandpa would definitely recognize him if he saw him. If that is your grandpa, please protect him from my grandpa.
