I manage a produce department of an IGA, and for years I’ve had the freedom to order produce from cheaper third-parties to keep my prices low. I have always maintained a 99¢ /lb. to $1.99 /lb. maximum sale price on bulk apples, but just recently Sobeys (our parent company) forced our largest third-party supplier to become an “official ordering partner” and to match all of their costing or lose our business. Now those third-parties are pointless to order from unless I am shorted a bunch of produce from our warehouse. And my apples? $2.49 /lb. to $4.99 /lb., depending on the variety. An absolute fucking joke.

Hosting is half of it, but the user-submitted section is a thriving social ecosystem. It’s a lot like reddit or Lemmy, but all submissions are image-based only with sizable comment sections attached like anywhere else. I was very involved there 12 years back and enjoyed it quite a lot. I tried really hard to earn my green (highest karma) badge, but I believe I got second or third highest before running out of steam. You had a profile full of badges and stuff, and users actually valued karma there, unlike on reddit or Lemmy.

But the mood changed other time and it became a hub for bullshit, sob stories and very tired, very played-out jokes. Then the eventual UI changes drove the nail in the coffin and I found it unusable.

Despite being the same lovely woman, I am infinitely more attracted to her in the horizontal stripes.

Gaynbow Steel is unmatched in its sass.

There is one particular park in my city that my kid loves to play at. It’s by far the most elaborate and impressive, so it’s hard to avoid going there sometimes. But whenever we go, my wife and I often encounter a very, very chatty older Polish guy who has lived an exhilarating life of travel, mountain climbing, and spelunking.

His adventures were interesting to hear about the first time we encountered him. But now every time we run into him he spends the better part of an hour just overwhelming us with tales of his adventures with mild occasional racism peppered throughout, with very few (if any) openings to speak or change the subject. You can only say, “Oh, wow.”, “Really?”, “Woah, that’s crazy…”, and “Wow, I didn’t know that…” so many times before it takes a heavy toll on your body and mind.

There is no off-ramp with the Polish Adventurer. He is there to climb you.

My listening age was 82, but my top songs were mostly Saja Boys… It was then that I remembered my account is linked to the Nest.

The internet and browsers felt so comfortable back then. I was a kid, but I felt like I had a command center at my fingertips. Was like flying a space freighter made from scrap metal.

Lol, yeah, that’s a great point.

It probably would have helped. Honestly, someone needs to get all of the world leaders tripping balls in one place. I, for one, would welcome a shaman-led society.

Wife: “Why are you being weird about adding me on Facebook?”

Husband: “BOYS ONLY!”

I’m not into tattoos but something about her arm kind of gets me going. Might by it’s proximity to Luigi.

My comments tend to get way more engagement here than on reddit. People are just friendlier. When I’m funny, they make me feel like the man. On reddit you had to piggy-back on top comments just to get any hits, and half of them were just confrontational for no good reason.

Sometimes I think about anonymously posting my feet or dangling turtle-head just to see where it goes. Probably nowhere. Nobody wants this, shy of my wife who entertains it. But what if?

Fred says that he’s keep rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, which implies that he already be rollin’ like Post, but intends to keep at it. Post Malone is unclear as to how long he be planning on rollin’, but it’s confirmed that he be.

I think this is the style Post Malone was talking about when he said, “I be rollin’-rollin’-rollin’-rollin’…”

I love group buffs!
