Publisher’s Clearing House.

So this company has ads on local free tv stations in the US about how you could win $5000 a week for life, but when you go to the website it’s like 97% ads and maybe 2% contests, and some contests are straight up unenterable if you have an adblocker. Then before you can officially enter, you have to go through 3 pages of ‘as seen on tv’ crap that it tries to sell you before you can finish entering. Also it lags like a motherfucker with or without an adblocker, cause there’s so many ads taking up that much bandwith, cause heaven forbid a webpage ad be a static image. And of course you have to have an account, so your spam folder and paper mailbox fill up with the worst things possible.

router as in ‘tool for finer details in woodworking.’ most router motors can spin at 10000rpm at their lowest and anything with a motor, by definition, uses more power than something without a motor

Despite what the world tells you, you’re allowed to ask for help every so often. Shit ain’t easy, but some shit’s easier for some people than others. Hell, libraries and community centers regularly hold classes and programs around uneasy thing run by people who found an easy way. Like resume building, financial knowledge, assorted life skills, etc.

closest thing I’ve gotten to watching tv is this: I got one of those smart tvs that you can load apps on, and it had tubi on there, so I’ll throw it on every now and again while cooking or cleaning, but even then it’s just background noise and mostly Mystery Science Theater 3000. Sometimes I’ll look at the other channels but the only thing that really interests is old 90s classics or this one sports channel that shows unconventional sports like jai-alai or footvolly or whatever

Aww man, I like using sodastream. Is there an alternative that isn’t directly tied to an apartheid state committing genocide?

My dad was a union electrician. His medical benefits literally saved my life. You’ve probably heard how expensive it is to treat type 1 diabetes, well most everything I needed was covered by his benefits, and I did have to deal with a copay at the beginning of the year, but I didn’t have anything denied.

Look for your nearest merch closeout/buyout store for things like cookware, tablewear, sheets and blankets, etc. I’ve basically stocked half my kitchen with stuff from Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, and each pot and pan was less than $15. idk if there’s a Canadian or European equivalent, or if that store exists there, but look for anything that advertises closeouts, buyouts, excess merchandise, or unsold merchandise

you expect a party to play by rules that are only followed by said party’s mortal enemy because good men doing something is “bAd pOliTiCs”

bold of you to assume those that want immigrants in camps think immigrants are people

I knew a girl in high school named Whisper

my guess is whoever you were responding to deleted their account.

side note: those comments without context is funny af

It’s just a name. I mean world War 1 is called “the war to end all wars” and then 10 years later we have another war, one simply called “the big one.”

there was this one girl I knew that we both kinda bonded over being outcasts, among other things. I didn’t do anything cause I had untreated clinical anxiety and adhd, but that’s unrelated. Anyway she stopped going to my school and there was also a girl in my neighborhood who got kidnapped, and I don’t think those events involved the same girl, but rumor around the school was that it was, while I thought it was someone else. At this point, I don’t even know if there’s a way to answer that question

In public sure, but this is the internet, where the Streisand effect is the unifying order of the week. It’s why the age old saying “bad press is better than no press” exists

Bold of you to assume Democrats care about anything other than the good boy points they think they get by sticking to a rulebook that fewer and fewer are abiding by

I feel like I’ve heard this before…

You don’t really need to buy bombs, they’re easy to make. The bomb used at that one Boston marathon was made of a pressure cooker
