  • “No arrests were made”

    Because half the people in the U-Haul were probably co-workers.

    It baffles me that in this day in 2025, with hundreds of data points being reported hourly, that we can’t look at the obvious preferential treatment fascists get from their cop buddies. Had that been a Free Palestine protest and some racist nutjob showed up to harrass them, the cops would have cleared the bridge and arrested a handful of the protestors, MAYBE one of the nutjobs IF they were REALLY pushing it. Then they’d find a reason why that bridge can’t be used for protesting, release the nutjob with a “stern” warning and rake all the protestors across the coals with any minor “disturbing the peace” type charges so they have a record for next time.



  • I know this goes against the spirit of … Bachelor frog meme?

    But that was a very effective way my mom suggested to combat my ache. Every night I’d take my fresh t-shirt for the next day and put it over my pillow case. It meant that my face was always getting a fresh pillowcase without me needing to have 75 pillowcases to wash for every day.

    I did also try using the shirt at the end of the day (because when my ache got bad I’d have blood spots and stuff on my shirts and couldn’t wear them) but it didn’t feel as clean and nice, so I’d just occasionally put a shirt on the pillow and then if it was soiled that first night id wear a different shirt and leave that one on the pillow for another day or 2.

    Fresh pillow cases and sheets are a magical thing.




  • goes to snopes to check the validity of this claim… Wait…

    Is that the case? I remember in the mid 90’s scrolling through each entry, usually the urban legends and spooky sections, reading late into the night, occasionally shitting myself because every 15th page had sound effects or midi music.

    Over the last 5 or so years I’ve watched people claim it isn’t accurate and can’t be trusted anymore, but the people claiming that were always… Well…idiots. Clearly just wanted to chose their own facts.

    Do you have a link or something about this more recent development?

    Edit: read the wiki page, but yeah, not much about who the new owners are. Just that the original owners are gone. So anyone with an article or other link/source so I can read up.




  • Lol.

    This reminds me of a story my mom told me over the holidays about buying a fancy sweater at Sears one fall. By mid winter the zipper had broken and she went back to Sears but they didn’t have a replacement, and she didn’t want a refund. They eventually agreed to have her take it to the tailor in the mall for them to replace it, and they would cover the receipt. She did and they did.

    Blew my mind. If I honestly thought I could contact Maytag or Bosch and actually get someone on the phone to send me a replacement knob, I might bother. But I’ve moved past “try to contact the company with a reasonable concern” a long time ago. Which is what they hope for and why they make it time consuming and pointless. I’ll take the path of least resistance.

    If home Depot goes out of business because of all the stolen knobs, I’ll cry myself into Rona every day (I mean that, I hate Rona and I use HD daily)
