Sure, but thats mostly because we just have an absurd number of bars. Basically everyone has or had a drinking problem, largely because theres not much to do that doesn’t involve alcohol.
Depends if I like whomever made it.. if a friend made it for me I’d get the go-ahead to set it in resin to keep it and ask them for another cookie of regular decoration, cuz that would take a lot of effort and stuff.
If it was made by some rando or a genie or something, meh cookie is cookie even if it is ugly.
I had been brought around to that view decades ago as a result of red dwarf of all things (clip linked below). I was fortunate to be raised entirely without religion, but it was genuinely helpful to have that perspective as an outsider as well.
Its very sad to me that so many lives are lost or ruined for… a set of books (multiple religions) that aren’t even very good, and which nearly nobody has actually read (then due to illiteracy, now due to, often, illiteracy, but just as often, a complete lack of intellectual curiosity. The book doesn't even need to be mistranslated when nobody actually reads it. Just need a figurehead (priest or such) to tell lies to the credulous congregation, and it achieves much the same.
The row of milks on the far left in the cart don’t have caps, and thats plenty for me to agree :)
Edit: the giant box for one pair of rubber gloves is pretty damned sus as well. Mostly because I’ve never seen rubber gloves in boxes like that. (disposable latex or nitrile gloves are sold that way but 10+/box) they are usually sold in clear plastic bags or loose and hanging like gardening or work gloves.
And either the sponges are different sizes or theres just a tiny bit of each one that isn't scrub pad. You can see a thin yellow stripe, and they could be packed on their side as a result (tho the furthest one has a yellow stripe above the green which isn't possible in that sideways configuration), but in that case they aren't cut the same size and are umm very long sponges (the pack looks like it would fit 2 side-by-side lengthwise based on the dimensions of everything else, and that makes little sense with how it actually looks)
Also on the sponges, theres no way there’s 10 in there when its 4 sponges tall packaging. It just doesn't math out. You’d have like a third row of packaging behind the thing for just two sponges?
I wonder if that would sound anything like rain, when you had a bunch of them.
Not to downplay how frustrating that must be, seriously, I live in a regressive area as well. It genuinely sucks.
What i find works moderately well is to describe programs in ways that benefit those people directly. Meet them where they are willing to be; selfish.
Don't mention the other people, focus on how it could help them and their family and friends.
If you can’t fix selfish, which in this economy you probably can’t, fix framing. Make it all about how much they win from social programs that “they pay for and don't get any of”. Thats getting easier to do with healthcare and UBI, as things get worse and the top few benefit, and they apply to everyone. Don't mention that it helps other people at all. Thats’s a negative to them, just tell them how much less they will be paying, how much their family will benefit with that extra money.
people in this country that would rather die than watch someone get something they need to survive.
Wish they would, then. Leave us to clean up the mess, we can handle the hard work they clearly can’t (or they’d be better people.. self work is work!).
Honestly, it’s a “budget” vehicle, it doesn’t really have bells and whistles (for example, the infotainment system hardly gets used because it has physical buttons, but it does have the legally mandated backup camera on a different circuit, I haven't seen any cabin cameras), and they are only really highly available because most of the used ones on the market started life as cheap base package rentals, like mine.
I doubt they would bother being nefarious for a vehicle like that, when most people wont bother pulling a fuse even, but I’d also like to see that.
Those sites will be dead to me :)
QR codes are like the popups of days gone by. With incredibly few exceptions, I refuse to scan them. They are so easy to redirect for nefarious purposes, and you can’t easily inspect the url to know, assuming thats something you even do. Also my phone case covers the camera and it’s a bitch to get open so I’m very choosy with what gets camera time.
Sorry to not reply, haven't been around for a bit, I have a 2023 chevy bolt EUV, but the EV version is the same, and what I was planning to get if not for availability. Idk about their ice vehicles, ofc, nor any line of vehicles outside the US or non-electric. This was really the only one that checked all the boxes for me (privacy available, decent range, fully electric, cargo space and can* haul short distances. *owners manual says not to haul with it but you can. Should not be used to haul long distances as extra load just destroys the range, but I need 5-10 miles tops, and it can do that fine)
You can actually pretty easily remove the on-star module of you need the gps to work (only really useful over using a phone for pulling a full 12 amps by default from a level 1 (standard plug) outlet with location-based charging, but nobody I know, including me, wants to risk their wiring or get it inspected to assure I can pull that much amperage, so it literally makes no difference, plus when I have an electrician out, it’ll be to install a different plug to use a level 2 anyway which will pull at max, since my garage has an appliance hookup currently), but if you don't the one fuse kills all of it, and I think maybe the bluetooth microphone as well? I don't connect my phone to my car at all since that defeats the purpose, but I read something about it. I don't think it applies to phone calls, just voice controls. Something to look into if it matters to you.
Im still suffering; this isn’t available here 😩
You could go for something like this, just without the face flap bit. They look kinda goofy but work pretty well
