A_Random_Idiot,

My first thought as well, lol.

Though sending a frozen item international mail and hoping it stays frozen the entire time is probably expensive.

A_Random_Idiot,

He definitely doesnt strike me as a stand up guy.

A_Random_Idiot,

Depends what you mean by cheap eats.

Do you mean bare bones no cash for big output cheap food?

or do you mean “I can swing a big initial output of money to save tons”?

If its the first one, find a dollar general with a fridge/frozen food section. You can make quite a few good, low intiail cost meals from what you can get from there.

if you mean “I can swing a big upfront payout to get a lot of stuff thats bargain barrel price per unit”, then buying a whole pig or cow and having it butchered is probably the best way to get a ton of meat, dollar per pound wise.

A_Random_Idiot,

Or just be like a shark and grow new teeth every 20 years or so.

A_Random_Idiot,

as if women didnt have enough of a problem with people grabbing them and going pew pew, pewpewpew before!

A_Random_Idiot,

You must be an executive with impeccable logic such as that.

A_Random_Idiot,

also got rid of the fairness doctrine, explicitly to allow the creation of Fox News and forever change news media for the worse.

A_Random_Idiot,

No.

I’m not a coal industry propagandist, so the only opinion I have on wind turbines is to build more of the fucking things.

A_Random_Idiot,

Oedipus’ Mother Fuckin Movie Film.

A_Random_Idiot,

sure, if you use windows and download their proprietary spyware control panel.

Yesterday I had a major “I am living in a movie and I’m the character everyone loves when bad things happens to them” vibes

Cause I woke up yesterday and a not insignificant chunk of my electonics were broken/nonfunctional… Some of them werent even plugged in, so its not like it was a power issue or something.

They were all bought at different times, from different stores, and different brands. The only thread tying them all together (and this is where the movie character shit kicks in) is that all their warranties expired within like 2 weeks of eachother, Which means they all just fell out of warranty.

The Few replies from the various companies I’ve gotten so far can be basically summed up as “1 day out of warranty is still out of warranty, go fuck yourself”

It sounds so ridiculous that even I don’t believe it, and I’m living it. Do they just put kill switches in stuff to make them die immediately after warranty now? Cause I sure as fuck feel like they do.

A_Random_Idiot,

Never buy samsung appliances.

I have known and seen so many people make that mistake, and the story always ends with them replacing it with another brands, the smart ones under warranty, the stubborn ones out of pocket.

A_Random_Idiot,

Its really bad when you’re in your living room talking about PSUs, then all of a sudden the only adds you see online are about PSU’s.

A_Random_Idiot,

Any attempts to make you whole after destroying your gift?

A_Random_Idiot,

i think theres plenty of reasons to erase mariah carey’s career.

the christmas song is the least of them.

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

Ted Nugent deserves to have more than just his career erased. Fucking admitted pedophile piece of shit.

A_Random_Idiot,

Cause half of them think its okay to beat women, and half of them want to be the women he beats.

Cause the weird cults of personality that form around fame and fortune are beyond rational comprehension.

A_Random_Idiot,

i miss the mid 90s internet.

Where the internet was a curiousity, not yet exploited by companies and advertising, where to find new websites you had to click next on ring networks or find a website directory cause search engines werent even a thing yet, but every website you found was someones passion project and rife with the interesting and bizarre

A_Random_Idiot,

The internet has definitely lost its wonder, and more become a thing of dread due to bullshit, ads, spam, etc etc.

A_Random_Idiot,

I think your post here is a bigger red flag than someone not having social media

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

No, Its not.

A_Random_Idiot,

I call the bottom shelf of my grandmothers fridge the petri dish for this exact reason.

Constantly puts shit in tupperware, puts it down there, and forgets about it until i find it, and by then its become its own microscopic ecosystem.

A_Random_Idiot,

I never said they wouldnt investigate.

I was just explaining how they wouldnt become a private security force.

A_Random_Idiot,

if there is a series of crimes in the area, police would increase patrols in the area.

Anything more than that would require hiring a private security company.

ground based security could easily be bypassed by a drone and with a remote igniter and a release latch.

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

most apps are just websites wrapped inside a container and made an app.

Why?

Because they dont want you to use the actual website.

why?

Cause your browser gives you a LOT of protection against invasive data mining/profiling/tracking/etc.(Not saying its perfect, We all know about fingerprinting and HTML5 canvas tracking and what have you…but its a LOT better than the information that apps can steal)

Data mining/profiling/tracking/etc that these companies want to do to you, because you are a product to them, not a customer.

And how do they do that with an app?

Permissions.

Ever wonder why your pizza ordering app has to have access to your contacts, data storage, camera, microphone, etc etc etc? Its not because its needed for you to order pizzas. Hell, you can do that on a website with no permissions, so why is it needed for an app on your phone?

So they can steal/mine your data for profiling/tracking/marketing/being sold to others/etc.
