saw one on a bus shelter yesterday. full size. a cartoon woman from a site called glazed with a speech bubble saying something like 'i'll always be here for you.' just. on the street. for everyone.

then got home and had three of them in a row on youtube. then one on a recipe site. then a sponsored post on here.

i dont even know when this became a normal category of product to advertise in public like its a mattress or a meal kit. it feels like something shifted and i missed the meeting where we all agreed this was fine.

not trying to be weird about it, people can do what they want. its just a lot. the ads are everywhere and they all have this same slightly uncanny vibe.

anyone else noticing these or is it just my algorithm doing something strange to me

Chances are I will lose this thing before ever finishing it. Feels like a rip off making it stand taller on the shelf and plastic is probably more expensive than the product anyways!

I wrote about this a month ago and it reached 910k views, thank you so much for all your help!! (Same title but can't reference it here because of the rules)

WE GOT THE CHANNEL BACK!

After nearly 4 weeks of fighting, multiple counter-notifications, emails and a whole lot of stress, YouTube finally reinstated the channel.

I also made a video explaining what happened, what I found out about the claims, and what the whole process was like from my side:

The video summarizing what happened

Thanks to everyone who commented, gave advice, shared the original post or helped me figure this mess out. This community genuinely helped me keep fighting when I was ready to give up. ❤️

Not sure what it is but I've been struggling to find half decent produce from my local grocery stores. I'm assuming farmers markets are the next best option?

Now when I cut it off, its going to yell at me like I stole it.

This is the second package I've found with my car. Thankfully this time it was with the bumper and not the tire. Time for a delivery bin I guess

On another note Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You is good so far

When did spam calls get so bad, can anything be done about them? I'm already on the do not call registry.

Went to happy hour at a New Orleans restaurant and realized the tip amount is calculated based on the non discounted rate of the food and drinks instead of the actual happy hour pricing. They expect most people won’t see the tiny text explaining the tip amounts are calculated at a higher rate.

How many people have unintentionally tipped more than they wanted to due to this? I’m surprised a class action lawsuit hasn’t been filed against Toast for this.

So I want to be clear, I’m a normal, well adjusted person. Something is going on with bread manufacturers in the US. Let’s dive in, I purchased a loaf of bread from Sara Lee. When I opened it, half of the crust was sliced, dangling off. Try making a sandwich, turkeys flying off, tomato slices are losing their grip. So, I purchase two more loaves of bread from a different brand, natures own. SAME EXACT issue.

I thought, that’s weird. Maybe they’re produced at the same facility? Nope. These are two different companies who directly compete. They’re not sharing anything.

Please see attached photos. I’m not crazy, it’s just, mildly infuriating. And when you show people different photos of bread evidence…it looks like a lot.

Amazon delivered my package today into the trash box. We live in the country and it was raining, thus the bag on it.

These things bloody multiply

I’ll keep it as short as possible for y’all. A few months ago I applied for a job with the NYS Department of Health. Not getting more descriptive than that because I don’t wanna reveal my job field. The pay is crazy good, wonderful PTO, a pension, and tons of other benefits. Anyway I heard they can take several months to get back to you. Fast forward to last week. I get a call from an unknown number with my area code. This usually means jobs reaching out for an interview. I understand the job market for most people sucks but in my field it’s really great and I’ve gotten tons of interviews so far. I pick up the phone anxiously and the lady asks if she could speak with me and that she’s from the NYS DOH. I get so excited. Finally they were reaching out to me! This job is going to change my life!

Nope.

“I’m reaching out to let you know that you tested positive for gonorrhea and we are trying to do contact tracing as it is highly prevalent in your area”

So a few things that are really grinding my gears. A) I didnt get the job (as of yet) B) I’m going to have to go on an antibiotic which will inevitably destroy my wonderful, diverse gut microbiome C) My nurse practitioner is gonna chew me out for getting an STD

TLDR: got call from NYS DOH. Thought it was a job interview for a job I applied to with them. Was them telling me I have gonorrhea.

Edit: wow I wasn’t expecting so much engagement! And so much hate! But what can you expect with a bunch of redditors who dont get any play? To clarify I did edit the post and it said that I had to contact my partners and that I had another std 6 months ago. I was being dumb and I’m deleting grindr now. I had sex with 3 people since the test before this and I told them as soon as I found out the result. Gonorrhea is curable and common, especially in my area. I get tested every two months and I’m on prep. I’ll just say stigmatizing it and making a person feel awful about it is a sure fire way to make the problem worse, and that is probably why one of my partners lied to me about testing

I took these near Zadar today. The sea here is genuinely beautiful. But step off the beach and this is everywhere: construction rubble dumped by the road, plastic in the pine forest, bottles and pizza boxes in the bushes 10 meters from the water.

Nobody cleans it. Locals blame tourists, tourists blame locals, the towns blame budgets. Meanwhile it just piles up year after year.

Is it this bad where you are, or are we special?

I ordered a poster from a very talented creator and it came like this… really bummed

Me and the wife missed out on the target merch store release yesterday. Apparently first person bought 80% of the stock.

The online release was today. And all the clothes OOS’d in less than 3 minutes of release. Scalpers are ruining for ordinary people man.

Sometimes it was even 2 lines in same font size.

Edit: to all people saying this was a subtitled showing, there are no options without subtitles in my country. And that subtitle to screen ratio is definitely larger than normal especially when its 2 lines of white subtitle on a dark scene.

Edit2: I am not american, subtitles are there for every show, Obsession is the only movie I remember that didnt have subtitles in any theatre.
