  • I’ve only been mistaken as an employee in one store I used to frequent. I was very disappointed when all three of those other customers actually accepted I didn’t work there.

    I was in the camping section checking out the flashlights and the idiot that actually worked there wasn’t expected to learn what those lights will actually do. Told the customer it runs at the maximum output for the runtime of the lowest output because the employee only looked at the simplified status on the side of the box.

    I had to show the customer the chart on the back of the box where the runtime and brightness of each mode is listed there and talked at length about all the different lights on display that I saw and was familiar with.

    When I stepped away three different customers asked me about stuff in different departments of that store and I told them I didn’t work there. Some of them gave me a dirty look, others were more chill about it.

    You can make anyone believe you’re supposed to be somewhere if you just act like you know what you’re doing. But in this case I actually did know more about those flashlights than the employees did.

    I don’t know how to repost on lemmy, but yeah.

    Your accent is made up, you’re only putting extra effort into saying and spelling things wrong.

    your roads are designed by idiots. Why does a round-about need more than one lane? You have too many old buildings that are always on the verge of crumbling to dust, either tear them all down, or stop using those old ways of construction. People stopped making buildings with those methods for a reason.

    Also…over in the UK, you can be locked up for posts on social media that that powers that be determine are “offensive” You also don’t have to show yourself in court when you accuse someone of something in the UK

    And the only reason you have nuclear arms or 99% of the other military equipment you have is because of your partnership with America the great. Without our support you’d have been overrun by your current and former enemies many times by now.

    Suck on Florida if you don’t like it




  • Google chrome, unfortunately is still very alive and well.

    You can still block ads system-wide with adguard for desktop…Not sure if it works on linux. But there’s also nextDNS, very easy to set up when you use yogaDNS. Or nextDNS’s own app to do it.

    You need to pay for those things, but paying for adblockers is better than paying each individual website you go to to not have ads








  • yeah, and then you’ll have to spend money per month on each individual feature you want to use.

    carwash mode, can’t take it to a carwash without carwash mode or else all the internal components will be flooded and ruined forever

    You need to pay extra to be able to go full throttle

    and to even charge the damn thing after you buy it, you need to register with the service that connects it to a centralized control.

    Yes that’s right, tesla cars won’t allow themselves to be charged until you register with the service that connects it to the internet. y’know, because privacy is just so uncool now!

    I had that same shirt when I was in highschool got suspended until my parents could attend a meeting with the asshole principal and me.

    Even my crazy ass parents just nodded along and pretended to care about what that asshole was yammering about.

    Free speech covers curse-words and vulgarity too.

    Great picture by the way.
