Look, it's winter in the Bronx too, and I’m barely scraping by after payday. It’s not exactly a goldmine over here.

You should take the donation bin then.

Thread tax: when you eat too much to get gassy but not enough to go to the bathroom.

Look, it's winter in the Bronx too, and I’m barely scraping by after payday. It’s not exactly a goldmine over here.

To be fair, at least they’re not those IFCJ scam commercials with the poor man's Mike Huckabee crying fake tears over an old woman sleeping on a stove. You couldn't find somebody a little bit more svelte to convince me to throw a dime your way?

I'm going to recycle Syrup's gripe and add that the audacity of paying someone just enough to subsist living with minimal comforts, while using that person to try to bilge customers of literal coins in order to reduce the tax liability of the Fortune 500 company by way of poorly informed attempts to exploit someone else's sense of compassion is a thoroughly and utterly revolting situation. Neither the employee or the employer gives a damn about the cause the collection is for, they only care about their year end tax write off that comes on someone else's dime. Please sacrifice your dollar so that Walgreens can keep a dime. Fuck off with that shit. If you absolutely have to do philanthropy, pull the 990 of an organization whose cause you support and ascertain what their administrative and fundraising costs are. If these costs are under 15% in total, give your money to them, not fucking Walgreens. And take your own tax break.
 
Modern refrigerators. If I recall correctly, I already griped about having to replace my garage fridge, that was less than 5 years old. Year and half old fridge in the kitchen had the light bite the dust. A little over 6 months out of warranty, and they wanted almost $200 for the LED panel, and around $250 to install, timeframe to come out could not be determined. I found the LED panel on Amazon for $40(ordered 2, so I have a spare), and had the new panel installed in 30 minutes. Apparently, this is a big issue with this model of fridge, and Whirlpool does not want to make good on their fuck up. Can't find quality appliances, anymore.
 
Has there ever been an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical with more than three fucking songs? I just saw Sunset Boulevard with a friend who, insultingly, called it "his style.":suffering:

Look, the songs are fine, they're actually good. But it's not enough to fill a two-and-a-half-hour show. All he does is repeat the same motifs over and over again to kill time. He should be charging me half price if he's just going to repeat each song three times.
 
That time that @Jason Wynn had me assassinated for spreading awareness of Andy Warski's 2/28/19 stream, so I had to make a bargain with a powerful demon lord, which resulted in me being stalked and harassed by a psychopathic clown that I could not kill, no matter what methodology I employed. I'm now a pivotal figure in the politics of heaven, hell and a multitude of other powerful supernatural interests and everyone wants a piece of me. My life was somewhat chaotic before all that, but this is just ridiculous. Jason thinks he can just run around assassinating whoever he wants and, I for one, am sick of it.
 
Friends who don't have the balls to tell you why they removed you, why they want nothing to do with you .etc

They prefer choosing the melodramatic route. Quietly blocking, removing and all that shit. I have a respect for those who just tell me upfront that I'm a piece of shit or why you felt the need to remove me, especially if you've been friends with me for like 20 years. We're adults, not high school children, here.
 
Leaf blowers. Leaf blowers in spring and summer for grass clippings, BWAAAAAAHING from 8-8. Leaf blowers in autumn for leaves and grass clippings’ BRRRAWWWWWING from 8-8. Now it’s leaf blowers in winter for people clearing snow out of driveways.
 
This is a late rant but why can’t I find winter gloves that keep my hands warm?! I live in the northern part of the south (heh) so we do get snow, especially this year. I bought a pair of The North Face gloves thinking those would keep my fingers from becoming frozen. Nope. Literally within a minute, my hands were freezing. Where can I find gloves that do what they’re supposed to do?

Can't beat a good pair of wool gloves. If it's bad enough, look into getting liners and wearing mittens over them. Looks goofy and you can't do anything but there's nothing warmer, and some have pockets for hand warmers.

i'd try polyester. because they contain plastic they have higher heat retention. that or you can put zipbags on your hands lol
also stuff like this exists

as for me, those stupid spam texts grind my gears I get like 15 of them a day it's so bad I've put my phone on mute. I know you can block certain numbers but I can't physically block them when they use different numbers for every text. so annoying.
 
I came back with my mom from a physical therapy appointment last afternoon, so here's one: people who drive slow for no good reason. The girl who drove us back, for one, she was a fatass, and for two, when my mom and her started chatting up about boring shit, she slowed down to the point where she was going under the speed limit half of the way back home. On a basic two-lane road, too. I wanted to just reach over and slam her right foot down as I saw absolute no cars in front of us as they just kept yammering. You're supposed to move at the speed of traffic really no matter what, it's the only good way to drive on the road.

Gloves really don't work. Most people's fingers simply don't produce enough heat, especially if you're on the smaller side/female.

You need mittens. Your fingers being next to one another is going to be warmer than any gloves.

Second to that, you can get reusable or electric hot packs.

Finally, layers are important. You might want to wear basic gloves underneath waterproof mittens. You'll stay warm, and then if you really need the dexterity, you can take off the mittens briefly and still have gloves on.

I hate workplace group chats. They always say it's just for important stuff, not drama. It's always a source of drama. You want to just mute it or block it, but then actual important stuff that really should be communicated more formally is there instead, and you don't want to be the idiot who didn't know about it.

When a show does a great cliffhanger, but has over a year between seasons.

It's funny, isn't it? A massive film franchise can take 2 or even 4 years between sequels, and people are still excited for the next one. But if a streaming show takes even a year off, it’s like the entire thing collapses. Why is that?
 
When you get that prepackaged bacon and when you try to peel the strips apart they separate in the middle and the fat becomes all stringy and you have to try to try to peel off the little left over bits so you can get just 1 full strip out of the 5 you've ruined, makes me want to punt a puppy. I know I should just get some actual butcher bacon but it was on sale.

These motherfuckers with names like "Yosmarydelacaridad" and I copied and pasted that because that was my store's delivery driver's name. Where and how the fuck do these kind of names come to fruition? It's practically babbling at that point. And I'm not kidding but one of my co-worker's name is 'Godgift'. God. Gift. Like he's god's gift? No, he's a shitty nigger who sucks at his job, he's not god's gift. I'm at a loss though with whatever babble-fuck's name is there that I mentioned earlier. Must be a dirty terroristic sand-nigger, it's got to be.

I made a post on this like a year ago, but I had some nigger colleague years back in retail who was named 'Endurance Parchment.' Nickname was 'Enny.'

lol that stupid fuck is probably still working the same stock job.
