I volunteer at a food bank, and the company that sends us our food decides what we get. Last Tuesday they sent so much produce we could not fit it all into fridges. We were trying to give away cases of the food on Wednesday, but people were turning it down because they had no place to store a case of tomatoes, or cauliflower. This was what we had left after last Wednesday's morning give away. Not pictured the 5000lbs of watermelons, the 2500lbs of onions (those will last a lot longer).
I posted a good faith post about the angry posts coming out of WomensStuff, knowing I was breaking the community's rules but it was a meta discussion about that rule itself. I guess I wasn't going to be shocked to be banned there, but again, this was a good faith post that wasn't trolling. Lots of men were chiming in about the subject itself.
I’m from a US state where we don’t pump our own gas. Since I don’t pump my own gas regularly - only when I’m out of state - I’m not exactly sure when this happened, but all gas pumps seem to play ads now while the pump runs. At least the states adjacent to mine. Like can I not even pump gas in peace? Stop trying to manipulate my purchasing decisions 24/7.
A few weeks back, this grocery store set out these plant racks that essentially blocked the walkway, except for a small strip running parallel to the curb (only one person at a time could pass through, as you can see).
There's a new radio station in town that bills itself as "commercial-free and member-supported." It appeared suddenly on a channel that used to be a college station. There are no live DJs, all the self-ads are generic corpo-sounding crap, and they play the same top 40s as every other generic corpo station in town.
if OOTL: these scam sites have been a thing for ages and shows some bs code on your screen like its doing something and then requires "human verification", making you enter your personal information. (and surprise, you don't get the gems or whatever you wanted)
5-minute oil change is a lie. The car ahead of me has been in there for over half an hour. I cannot leave because there are cars behind me, blocking me in. I think this lady has seen more filters than an AC repairman.
I noticed this for a longer time but I just thought MSN flooded the web with its shit. It didn't came to my mind it is actually duckduckgo trying to shove these msn links into my face...
As I was looking for whole grain ramen options, I kept running across these comparison pages that looked suspiciously similar. Are any of these folks real? How would I tell? Not sure what to make of the sorority one.
Inside it says that I must reply within 10 days if there are any changes to my info. Failure to do so could result in the cancellation of a medical supplies grant.
I'm currently trying to get in better shape and to that end have started dieting and cycling in my local area. For motivation, I've decided to try to 'virtually' cycle from John O'Groats (henceforth JOG) in the north of Scotland to Land's End (LE) in the south of England.
The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)
I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.
TL;DR: when the technician put hands on my device, disabled NTP (unattended time updates from internet) and locked settings with a password so I'm forced to pay him €50/hour to change the time
These guys don't understand that the speed of reading is dictated by THEM; if it takes you only 5 seconds to get through the 20 pages of the chapter, calm down, dude. Nobody is chasing you.
I watched some of Apple's recent shows using...different methods than the official app and I believe they're making some of the best content out there, currently. Shows like Severance and For All Mankind are masterpieces and they give me the SciFi fix I desperately needed.
The longer you are on lemmy, the more you can step back and see the ebb and flow of manipulative posts in and out of circulation to create rifts between people and create short-lived topics of ‘conversation’ to busy the people here. The general anti-capitalism direction is pandered to singing the tune people think they want to hear and is no different I’m sure to the many bot posts aimed at facebook users to play the tune they also want to hear to manipulate, and get them to come back.
In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)
To clarify the difference between home and main screens: home screen is the folded shut front screen, and main screen is the unfolded open inside wide screen.
I read this is a new "feature" they've been testing for at least 2 years now on some users unfortunately my time has come, So you might not seeing this but you will in the future
You highlight something in Edge and release your finger from the button? New menu. Now you can copy it directly! Great! No need for right clicking every time, right? No! It only works in Edge! You want to copy from Outlook? Nothing! You highlight in Word or Excel? You can change the font of the selected text! No copy option!
They never asked me to make security questions. I set my password the first time and completed some required forms. Then, these buffoons reset my password again (2nd) and made me change it to something else (3rd). The thing is, when I changed my password the site gave me a non-descript error banner and redirected me to the login. Now neither the 1st password, 2nd password, or 3rd password works. To top it off I can't even reset the password. I think the site is having an aneurysm.
It's bad enough they make 'features' I don't want enabled by default, but it's even worse when the lazy/incompetent developers can't even give me the option to change it.
I skim and skip through the trailer to see what the game and gameplay look like, and all I see are screens of text with random text or quotes that tell me nothing about the actual game and gameplay.
Every single time I use Spotify, after the first advert it says to enjoy the next 30 minutes ad free. Then after a 2 minute long song, I get 5 minutes of adverts 😑. Every single time
WT please fire your marketing people. I've received "specials" emails every day since the I made one purchase. Nobody needs that many floor mats. Trying to unsub, the page loads with so many trackers and other crap that it crashes because of my ad-blocker and DNS filter.
Has started to grind my gears, since there is no way to quickly explain that I'm happy with the current situation (I live in the nordics, not the US). Historically I would be considered a conservative, since I don't see a need to progress (atleast at an accelerated rate). However that term is now used to define reactionaries, which are people who reacting to the changing society wants to regress to a earlier time.
I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.
The transport passes 20 minutes earlier without previous warning, leaves without waiting for me, as I was not ready yet, and I end up getting paid less.
I switched to windscribe last month because the proton CEO starting spewing politcal BS, and I wanted port forwarding that wasn't locked behind a shitty GUI.
