Sliding the comment card left and right both shows AI crap instead of just the comments. Just give me human interactions ffs.

Be fucking for real

My neighbor was outside talking on her phone while watching her 2 year old grandson. He was running around in front of her. I got into my car, turned on my favorite podcast and put the car in reverse. I looked up and realized that I didn’t see him anymore. I checked my rearview camera, and he was standing behind my car. Fortunately, my foot was still on the brake.

I’m so grateful that I have that camera. He’s so little that he was completely hidden from my rearview mirror. His grandmother didn’t look in our direction until I got out of the car and called her. I try not to think about what could have happened if I’d been running late and rushing.

Less than 10 hours ago I posted a piece of fan art I'd made, and have just came across it on Facebook - where someone had put an AI filter over it 😑

“Oh, did I somehow buy pasta with Italian herbs… herbs with wings… oh, gross.”

It was a sealed package so they were already there when I bought it.

Food inspection for quality is just unnecessary bureaucracy, though.

Edit: HEB, our grocery store, gave us a full refund based on the photo and dissatisfaction.

She randomly comes back with a butt load of food items once in a while

Any lemon recipe suggestions

\she’s 44, for people asking her age\.

got this at a 7/11 in thailand because i love dubai chocolate
me and my boyfriend smoked and then decided to eat it
we were so excited
we were giggling opening the packaging
we opened it
then we saw it

however it was only 50 baht and was delicious so

I debated between the two on the sixth chance and chose poorly…

Fuck you O'Hare

I was looking for the charger to my kindle… and I ended up finding out that the slats underneath my bed had rotted, and there was ACTUAL MOSS, growing under the mattress. So all of it had to be thrown out and I’m sleeping on the sofa till friday. Worst part? Didn’t even find the stupid kindle charger

edit:it was mold and not moss, I am an idiot(and also Im a Deltarune fan so I often have moss in my head)

edit 2:I think it happened because of how close my bathroom is to the bedroom, and I really like long hot showers.

I just purchased a new toothbrush because my last one finally stopped holding a charge after about 4 years of use. I unbox it, and go to set up the dock in its new home and charge it up for the first time when I notice that the charging dock COMES WITH NO WALL MOUNT / CHARGING BLOCK!!!! It just has a bullshit usb at the end of it where there should be wall mount that it plugs into.

I mean wtf, do companies seriously need to start cutting corners this badly to be able to make a profit!? It’s just ridiculous like wtf do you think I just have loads of extra charging blocks laying around? Because I don’t. And do you know why I don’t? BECAUSE EVERY COMPANY IS DOING THIS BULLSHIT NOW!!!

So in order to charge my toothbrush I’m going to have to steal the block from my phone charger to plug my toothbrush into. WHY WOULDN’T THE DEVICE COME WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO ACTUALLY BE FUNCTIONAL?!??

EDIT TO ADD:

I didn’t realize that so many people in here are pro - corporate greed and so against the consumer. I was next expecting this many people to take the side of the giant corporations that are stripping away the value of what we receive in order to make their bottom line and profits better for themselves. How absurd.

I ran out of my injection diabetes medication this morning (Toujeo).

I've been taking this for a few years now. I have been receiving two pens per month for a couple of years now. When I first started, I was on 3 pens a month. But i've lost some weight and reduced the dosage to where I usually have enough for the entire month. I've run out on "long" months with 31 days... not a huge deal.

I called the pharmacy this morning to see if my refill was ready (I had asked to get it refilled on Friday). They told me it would be ready tonight after 5.

I get in there and they have one pen. I know they sometimes have issues getting it sourced so i asked where the 2nd pen was.

The pharmacy tech says "It's only one pen this month."

Confused, I asked why. She pokes on the computer and says "oh, see, two pens is 32 days worth. Insurance only authorizes enough for 31 doses per month."

I'm like, "When did 2 pens turn into 32 days worth? And what do they think I'm going to do with one pen? Use it for half the month and then wait for the next insurance cycle?"

She kinda looks at me like I'm stupid. (Maybe I am)

How did this suddenly become 32 days worth? and why is this just now coming up?

Half an hour later, the pharmacist calls me over to discuss. Yadda, yadda, yadda, they had to get creative to account for a days worth of medication so I could get 2 pens.

United Healthcare has repeatedly forced me to go through re-authorization with the doctor's office at the beginning of the year. Telling me they want me to try some alternative medication (that is cheaper). The doctor has to send a letter explaining that we tried these medications in the past and that Toujeo has proven to be more effective.

I'm kind of more than mildly infuriated but the pharmacy made things work (at least for this month).

Yes I did remove them from her bin because what the hell!? They’re literally fine. One of my coworkers helps out with an after school club and says they are really short of colouring pencils so they will be used!

Like its the whole smoke...

I arrived maybe 10 minutes too late. I was told the seller was telling the guy "No worries, nobody's going to care. It'll be fixed for everyone from now on."

Oh and when he realized he would have to cut the stairs too... I can't believe that shit.

They also started to brown within a couple days. My bf assumed it was to reduce the shedding 💀

My one friend who loves to show off the holes in his underwear is convinced these bad boy still have some miles left on them. Drives me crazy 🤣

Damn ants in San Diego! Anything left out for even a few minutes will be swarmed. I forgot to put away a can of quality eggs and woke up to a whole colony invasion.
