I did not get some parts of my latest #Amazon order. So, I go to notify them of this. One item is fine, they are replacing it. The other, they are insisting I return it, although I never got it. So I'm sending them an empty box. #AIsucks #AmazonSucks #HireSomeFingHumansYouCheapskates

He's not bothered about the "welfare regime" for that one particular white family? (I mean, we have the same thing in the US currently, but some of us are trying to get rid of it. At least your "particular white famiy" seems nicer and (mostly) follows the law.)

Asus is making a ‘Fragrance Mouse,’ and it’s coming to the US A mouse by any other name would smell just as sweet.

This is so dumb. Even if I were not sensitive to fragrances, and I wanted my desk to smell like something, there are many existing, better ways to do that. Why on earth would I want it in my mouse? If the smell can get out, the oil can spill out. Dumb, ham-handed attempt to appeal to women.

It's supposedly "only" 75% humidity here, but I have taken a shower and I CANNOT DRY OFF. I used a towel, and a blow dryer, and my hair and b9ody6 are still uncomfortably damp. I got dressed, and now my clothes are uncomfortably damp. I should have never moved to Virginia.

A BLT on gluten-free bread. The bread is so small that it is smaller than the slice of tomato.

Having a BLT, but because it's gluten-free, the bread is literally, actually smaller than the slice of tomato. #gluten-free #fml

Very disappointing. Microwaving leaves them hard on top, and this is the only given way to prepare them, The soup leaks out, and is fairly lacking in flavor anyway.
3. Feel Good Gluten-free Potstickers,, Chicken (Martin's, prolly): okay, if nothing outstanding.

Very small reviews:
1. Moonlight Nectarines (I got them at Aldi): Really good. Get them if you like nectarines at all.
2. Feel Good Gluten-free Soup Dumplings, Pork and Chicken (from Martin's, I think): (con't in reply)

The internet does not understand "gluten-free dinner for hot days". I don't want to turn on the oven, or boil things. I especially don't want hot soup, you doofs. #glutenfree #heatwave #helpimmelting

New thing in my life; daughter has celiac for sure, I probably do too, and so does next youngest kid. We're doing gluten-free. I'm not super happy about it. I very much wanted to continue eating gluten. Can't deny I'm feeling better, though. Gonna get tested.

Using the library more to save money lately. So far, I've found Hoopla has a lot more stuff than Libby, even when you're accessing it with the same library card.

I automatically ignore any AI results. It *might* be correct, but it very well might not, and if you can't tell without looking elsewhere anyway... just save time and look elsewhere in the first place.

My husband is watching the 1978 movie Drunken Master, dubbed in English. Just heard this bit of dialogue: "No, you watch out, or you'll have a body with no ass!"

RFK Jr. thinks autistic people cannot write poems. To prove him wrong, I, an autistic person, have written a haiku JUST FOR HIM. To wit:

RFK Junior
Is an ignorant dickhead.
He should just shut up.

Have you seen those videos of mixing colored sand together? Why does the colored sand exist in the first place? What is the purpose of it? Is it made expressly for people to mix it together in videos?

Please explain to me how this is not illegal. How can this not be illegal?

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.

A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.

It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.

A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
