Not really, the news is just information about something that has happened, if you look on sites like Reuters, you will see news. What companies like Fox, the Daily Mail, New York Post et al. broadcast or publish is not news.

Missed that most of the time, the good product was made for its abilities by an individual or independent, then bought by a larger company whose board only deals in seeing number go up.

I hate those changing monitor menus. I don't want to wait for the menu and I can't read them with sunglasses

Oh helI no 😖

I'm 40, I don't have a phone, I'll be wheeling myself right back out the door.

This has been happening for a long time since companies figured out how to bilk more money from people. Greed took over and we pay the price for it. Talk about pandemic.

Find another laundromat, that's absurd.

People still using TiVo probably manage their accounts using their AOL email address.

Found money is YOUR money!

My printer has no need for internet connectivity. This is one of the reasons.

Sci-Fi taught them that. Remember Sharknado?

Be a shame if a whole lot of water got on them

my phone that came out this year allows an sd card

What is a "gambling bull?"

Okay, I'd return that and demand my money back.

This is the result of a lawsuit against McDonald's, that claimed that McD's was targeting children to make them grow up obese and dependent. They were barred from all directed advertising and appeal to children in their restaurants, s they had to pivot to the adult coffee crowd.

I found the paper, link in reply. Note only 18 people completed.

They have a strange definition of the word "Purchase. "Money can be exchanged for goods and services" Homer Simpson's Brain.

That's on them for having a smart doorbell

Boycott any shop using them. If enough people do it, you won't have to suffer the inconvenience of buying somewhere else for more than a few weeks.

If it asks fot a credit/debit card, I turn immediately back (if not a legit subscription, like a news outlet.)

Yep. The day doesn't even go by without it breaking apart.

Looks better to whom?

So buy the other brand, as it's clearly better

Yes! Not even two weeks and I have to throw it out..and I'm only home to do dishes at night and weekends so it's not like I'm cooking up a storm.

My laptop is 2013 and uses This PC, it's Windows 8.1. This change was done with the release of Windows 8 on the 1st August 2012. You can literally just rename it back, I did that just now.

Self-Checkout is supposed to be for when you're getting a small number of items, not bringing your entire cart full of untagged produce that you have to look up and weigh one by one, DEBRA.

The USA in 2026 is "MONETIZE EVERYTHING!" It's one of the worst things we could ever do.

Old ones have all-caps PYREX logo, while newer items use a lowercase pyrex logo

Why would you buy this c**p.

It's called shrinkflation, quality and quantity go down and prices go up

My complexion since I found out I have a vitamin deficiency.

Most American Chocolate hasn't been cholate for a few decades.

I tried this on google, udm=14 (google search without LLM), duckduckgo, and noai duckduckgo. Both google and udm=14 auto corrected to Crumbl, both duck searches did not.

Adobe turned off the verification servers for pre subscription versions of fully paid and licensed Creative Suite

Honestly, I'd rather bring a stack of books to the hospital, than paying this (once, long ago, I went to hospital surprisingly, right after having ordered lots of books. Bless my then-already-ex, he brought the complete box to the hospital. ♥ )

they've done that for a long time

I'd rather shiㅤt in my hands and clap than willingly read an AI-written book. And, as a writer, I'd rather smear myself in lard and walk into a chimp enclosure than publish an AI-written book.

The 1970 one is a gate admission ticket that doesn't include any rides (those were individuals ticketed up to $7.35 each ride), while the newer one is an all-inclusive passport that has unlimited access to all rides.

Tbf, I checked that channel just yesterday. And it's way too clickbaity and "everything is bad now". Perhaps people just have enough of rage baiting?

I used to love these fruit snacks ☹️

Spotify is a cancer to all musicians.

It lasted a few weeks, I can see them as usual now.

They're tasty, but not 9 bucks worth of tasty.

yeah, Ice cream is probably a legally coded category, with specifications of what they must have to be considered ice cream by percentajes, and they enshitted it enough that it fell out

It seems to have no problem with mine. Perhaps it's paid no-ads thing: they want you off the vpn so they can target the ads regionally.

Same with Yahoo. You have to actually click on the likes and dislikes under the comments on their stories now to see how many likes and dislikes there are.

But it says at the top it’s made with real peanut butter. I’m confused

"GFTFO, okay, eat first, but do it quickly."

I'm calling BS. They were using baking soda? For one, it is incredibly salty in taste, and 2) it is commonly used across the planet to RELIEVE gastric distress and similar issues, not cause it. I don't know if ingesting large amounts of the stuff would cause distress, but there is no way you could sneak that much into someone's food without them tasting it and feeling the texture.

What has the local law to say about it? Pretty sure in Europe they can't put any costs for you at least for warranty returns. And as for the rest - okay, shop is on blacklist.

Don't look at the radio while you are driving.

Well, this can be gotten around. I surf the net with a username and then that username is backed up with a fake name that google has. I let google sign me up on reddit and it signs me up under another, anonymous name. It's weird, but it works.

Not my TV... (Samsung smart TV bought maybe three years ago)

Wait, this is for travel, right? So basically, they say "pay $45 for an emergency passport". That's not too much, tbh. Or am I missing something here?

Probably so people don't bring a sleeping bag and move in. There are people who will buy a donut and stay all day.

Yeah, I'm noticing the first search answers that come up on google now are all AI c**p even if I don't use their AI search, so I'm being real careful making a second check on Bing or Wikipedia before I post anything for anyone to read. I'm to the point where I won't be using google for much of anything anymore.

In Australia these fountains aren't standard, same in the EU I believe. Yes, you have to pay for individual drinks.

Why would anyone have the McDonald's app?

They look like "seconds", the misprints that are not tossed.

This looks like a refill bottle, so you're meant to refill a different dispenser unit. You'd want it to refill quickly.

Took me looking at the OP, probably because I have never used a disposable lighter: this is plastic wrapped so the barcode area is integrated into the wrapping instead of being a peelable sticker.
