An offering to Saint Cinnamon? A trick from the realm of Faerie? I'm befuddled.

So here's just a weird thing, seen in #greece. On my morning dog walks for the last 5 days, there's this collection of cinnamon containers on a ledge in front of somebody's house. Is it a Greek thing? Is it a superstition? Did somebody just forget all of their random pots of cinnamon? #mystery.

Text post reading "From now on, every time a man uses a dismissive endearment with me I am going to call him "candy balls" for the rest of the conversation.

That certainly must make it true.

Is this the bike lane they ripped out 30+ mature trees for?

The concept of hooking up with someone you're not attracted to still blows my mind. This type of fellow has some deep-seated weirdness that even stilts couldn't overcome.

Or because he's bored and his diaper is full, either of those.

This is like a mad libs titled "Things No One Wants Under Any Circumstance."

I can't even focus on what the article says as I am too weirded out by this image.

It's a tiny, schadenfreude-y pleasure, but that's the best we can hope for in this hellscape, so I will take it.

some milk I used to make Forbidden Percentages. I didn't mention 2% in my post though. I gotta keep some secrets

by carefully mixing 10% cream with 1% skim milk, you can unlock forbidden milk percentages the government doesn't want you to know about, like 7.725%

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Can I get a warm tap water with that?

I love my job as the guy who adds a fake “keep me signed in” checkbox to every website that does nothing

I was badly misled.

I'm listening to my Nitzer Ebb Pandora station and lamenting the fact that my late '80s dreams of being a full time haunted doll are never going to come true.

Because it turns out, in our particular hellscape, "haunted doll" is not a high paying marketable skill, and you have to have one of those.

The pipeline from trusted and revered "feminist" writer and vocal victim advocate ➡️ red-pilled, MRA/incel "victim of the woke mob" apparently now entails suing the *victim* of your sexual coercion for $500k. Cool, cool.

"Believe women." Except the women you sexually blackmailed and then paid off.

Just when you thought he could not be a larger, smellier piece of shit, he out-shits himself.

And of course their "turnaround" CEO is wearing whatever colors he wants as he constantly flies the company PJ back and forth from CA to WA. Its *definitely* employee uniforms that will turn things around though. (This is why people hate Starbucks now, these shenanigans. PS: That info is free.)

Starbucks is updating its dress code for baristas | CNN Business Starbucks is updating its uniform policy, emphasizing the appearance of its recognizable “green aprons” as part of CEO Brian Niccol’s broader plans to revive the slumping brand.

I am no longer surprised when companies react to slumping sales with inane rule changes like this. Be sure to harass your employees about nothing, because colorful shirts and pants are the ENTIRE reason your chain is in its flop era. www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/b...

I’m surprised the Republicans are using the weather machine against their own red states like this. But, y’all do y’all.

Adjusted for inflation, 1973's "The $6 Million Man" would cost $41 million. But the price of this tech has come down so dramatically that, even though we're not quite at bionic capability yet, the cost of outfitting someone with similar available civilian tech would be $2-4mil (according to ChatGPT)

I just refilled my prescriptions. A week later Amazon emails my doctor asking for refills that I didn't need. So now I look like some kind of fiend. And then it sends me a scolding message that my insurance company won't cover this because the things are not due to be refilled yet. I know!

Me:

Amazon Pharmacy: We requested a refill from your provider! We thought you might be running low!

Me: What?

Amazon Pharmacy: we've got your new prescription!

Me: ?

Amazon Pharmacy: Your insurance company won't pay for this until it's time for renewal!

Me: how did you get this number?

I'm boycotting everybody. Literally I'm out here drinking tap water. I'm so disgusted by every single capitalist corporation. If Costco goes out of business I'm going to be eating dirt.
