I vote you include sonic 3-d. That game makes me throw up with how they made the 3d effect.

Put it this way.. mine also broke, within 6 mths of buying it, snapped a support bar on the bottom, and whenever anyone complains about shoddy furniture, it’s almost certain to be ashley.

I’d never get another piece of furniture from them. Terrible build and material quality.

I built a chicken fence this way.

Hammer staplers are glorious but fucking difficult to get right!

Whack whack whack whack fuck!!!!!!! Hit the fucking wire whack whack whack whack goddamnit whack whack whack

To be entirely fair though I fucking love my hammer stapler and my complaints are entirely user error because hammer staplers are fucking amazing. So much better than hand-grip-activated staple guns.

I’ve used tack nailers as well and they also rock the socks off. Any pneumatic or mecnical driven device, oh boy fun!

Ashley furniture?

Have to use milk just this side of spoilage.

Are you REALLY into coffee, or just ideal coffee?

You could go for something like this, just without the face flap bit. They look kinda goofy but work pretty well

Sure, but thats mostly because we just have an absurd number of bars. Basically everyone has or had a drinking problem, largely because theres not much to do that doesn’t involve alcohol.

Depends if I like whomever made it.. if a friend made it for me I’d get the go-ahead to set it in resin to keep it and ask them for another cookie of regular decoration, cuz that would take a lot of effort and stuff.

If it was made by some rando or a genie or something, meh cookie is cookie even if it is ugly.

I had been brought around to that view decades ago as a result of red dwarf of all things (clip linked below). I was fortunate to be raised entirely without religion, but it was genuinely helpful to have that perspective as an outsider as well.

Its very sad to me that so many lives are lost or ruined for… a set of books (multiple religions) that aren’t even very good, and which nearly nobody has actually read (then due to illiteracy, now due to, often, illiteracy, but just as often, a complete lack of intellectual curiosity. The book doesn't even need to be mistranslated when nobody actually reads it. Just need a figurehead (priest or such) to tell lies to the credulous congregation, and it achieves much the same.

The row of milks on the far left in the cart don’t have caps, and thats plenty for me to agree :)

Edit: the giant box for one pair of rubber gloves is pretty damned sus as well. Mostly because I’ve never seen rubber gloves in boxes like that. (disposable latex or nitrile gloves are sold that way but 10+/box) they are usually sold in clear plastic bags or loose and hanging like gardening or work gloves.

And either the sponges are different sizes or theres just a tiny bit of each one that isn't scrub pad. You can see a thin yellow stripe, and they could be packed on their side as a result (tho the furthest one has a yellow stripe above the green which isn't possible in that sideways configuration), but in that case they aren't cut the same size and are umm very long sponges (the pack looks like it would fit 2 side-by-side lengthwise based on the dimensions of everything else, and that makes little sense with how it actually looks)

Also on the sponges, theres no way there’s 10 in there when its 4 sponges tall packaging. It just doesn't math out. You’d have like a third row of packaging behind the thing for just two sponges?

I wonder if that would sound anything like rain, when you had a bunch of them.

Not to downplay how frustrating that must be, seriously, I live in a regressive area as well. It genuinely sucks.

What i find works moderately well is to describe programs in ways that benefit those people directly. Meet them where they are willing to be; selfish.

Don't mention the other people, focus on how it could help them and their family and friends.

If you can’t fix selfish, which in this economy you probably can’t, fix framing. Make it all about how much they win from social programs that “they pay for and don't get any of”. Thats getting easier to do with healthcare and UBI, as things get worse and the top few benefit, and they apply to everyone. Don't mention that it helps other people at all. Thats’s a negative to them, just tell them how much less they will be paying, how much their family will benefit with that extra money.
