Florida. Because all arrest records and mugshots are pretty much immediately available to the public they get the most stories of dumb criminals in the media

Sorta yeah but most large chains dont really do most of their ordering manually - it’s half if not mostly or completely automated based on sales, trends and size.

It’s obviously very different in small stores where they expect X amount of product they paid for. But it’s super easy for, say, Walmart, to move inventory around based on possible trends.

I’m not saying your wrong but it is kinda noticable when my grocery store started carrying lobster a week after I was looking it up on door dash. After not having it for ~10 years or suddenly having 3 frozen geese a month after taking about it after never having it (~18 years at this house).

I’m not about to spend $130 on a small frozen goose. Or ~$80 on a 1lb lobster. I will, however, spend money on lamb - something I’ve been purposefully bringing up in gchat a lot recently. Something they stopped selling about a decade ago.

If lamb is suddenly available in the next monthish I’ll respond to this comment - but maybe I’m just noticing trends that don’t exist.

Cost, yeah I was thinking about that. Lobster is pretty readily available at other locations nearby (ish),. Same can be said for lamb and goose. Same distribution center just dropping it off at a different store.

These are things I can buy with only a little travel it’s just now they are immediately available as soon as I talk about it.

Not me specifically - generally where you are and what you’re taking about (phone location and general conversation).

I don’t think anyone specifically is actually listening to me. I think it’s automated marketing gone wild.

sacrifices had to be made when turning the country ~100º counter clockwise to get that sweet inland sea between them and Spain

I had a roof leak about 5 years ago that cause a lot of damage in one of the bedrooms. I fixed the leak but it took a long time to save up to fix the room. Last month I finally had enough money to get it fixed.

On Sunday, tropical storm Hilary caused several roof leaks including over the same bedroom. The ceiling, wall and carpet that I just replaced is destroyed along with a good chunk of ceiling in the garage. I can tear out the drywall in the garage and leave it, but idk how I’m going to afford to fix the roof and the bedroom.

So my week started out with a lot of frustration.

I still think of doing things “Dick hard and retard strong”. Offensive sure, but my former roommate used to always use it as ‘doing something reckless and not thought out but with full intent full steam ahead regardless of consequences’.

Edit: not even regardless of consequences, consequences were never part of the equation

Nope it’s real. She talks about it in interviews. Sounds like she was kinda gung-ho for the lulz

I’m a “they’re blocking password sharing and raising the price” pirate

Oh man, I remember 7th Guest that game was so cool - a video game with live action cut scenes! That was the same genre as Rama (1996)
