They mentioned people who can't live without Amazon, and within minutes, someone fit the bill.

| Topic | "Bro, it's not that hard to not shop at shitty companies." |
| pedro45 12/20/21 12:27:11 PM #18 | argonautweakend posted... Not shopping at shitty companies can be difficult, I imagine. Because, when you get down to it, you also need to filter out the local companies that are shitty which can he hard to do. And as pointed out, major companies like nestle and kelloggs own a lot of shit. All it took was 4 minutes for someone to give Amazon love. I wish people would try other companies. As Amazon started to push their paid shipping, others stepped up their shipping speed as well. Best Buy and Home Depot delivered within a day for me. My local record shops ship within two days usually. Then there's Ebay which can be hit or miss with shipping times, but usually arrives with 2 to 7 days. As far as refunds go...never had a problem. Either I ship the product back, get a cash refund or get the cash back while keeping the product. Living without Amazon is very rewarding in itself and price checking with Amazon can be quite laughable in their obvious greed. Avoiding the others can be quite hard cause of vertical integration and what have you. There's so many companies that'd destroy this world in a decade if it meant another dime to them. --- Warning: Sometimes biased http://i.imgur.com/V0x5fw8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IOovUge.gif http://i.imgur.com/zw7bqPH.jpg |

Then we could choose which day to actually get engaged too. So like, when they were made became your engagement date? Thanks for this advice. I just don't wanna toss a ring in her lap and have that be all the excitement of it. I want it to memorable as well. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |
| Topic | Man, these insurance rates all got ridiculous |
| pedro45 12/02/21 2:14:01 PM #6 | You gotta stick with a company. State Farm gives me the best rates by far, but I've been with them for over 5 years, bundle my renters with them, etc. My rates go down it seems about $10/month every other renewal. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |
| Topic | Engagement advice |
| pedro45 12/02/21 2:10:57 PM #1 | It's very...intimidating. My girlfriend and I wanna get married but the pandemic definitely threw a wrench in our timing. Long story short, I'm considering getting her a ring despite these variations emerging again around the holidays. Is it appropriate to take her to a store to pick it herself? I'd love to have it already, but idk how to casually get a ring size. Is it lame to ask her on my birthday or new year's day; is that too cliche? She's not super girly or into the norms surrounding weddings, but made it clear that she does want to be married. We've been together almost 4 and a half years and I was really planning on asking after about 3 years but...yeah, the pandemic happened. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 11/26/21 3:05:41 PM #9 | Please tell me it's a low for the marvel/Disney stuff. My parents put it on before Thanksgiving and it was...dramatic and weird. It was spiderman 3 bad, except less action and bad guys, but less time wasted since it was an episode. I'm not one to watch something until it gets good. I just feel like I'm wasting time when there are movies and shows that stay good or require less buildup. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| Topic | Inflation hits 30 year high. |
| pedro45 11/11/21 1:07:39 PM #23 | Retail and fast food take so much brain power, but not calculation, but patience. It's tough. It's why someone who doesn't care can work the job for a while but then they leave. It's why so many of us workers are miserable, not because of life choices, but because of consumer choices. People are becoming more and more reliant on the thinking of others, especially opinions. To have to be working, while thinking for people who treat like you an object, all while having to act like you enjoy it, is some mental gymnastics. Pay increase is the start of making it bearable. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |
| Topic | Do you like beef hot dogs more or pork ones? |
| pedro45 11/10/21 8:29:18 PM #23 | captpackrat posted... I've tried bacon jerky and it was actually pretty terrible. Terrible is strong for me, but yeah, bacon jerky is similar to beef bacon as something that doesn't need to exist. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |
| Topic | Do you like beef hot dogs more or pork ones? |
| pedro45 11/10/21 4:24:18 PM #19 | captpackrat posted... Beef bacon does indeed exist. However beef is leaner than pork so beef bacon will be dryer than pork bacon, and beef fat has a higher melting point so it will be chewy instead of crisp. I didn't like it too much. Beef jerky is much better. As far as hot dogs go, beef can be much better, especially when dressed up, but I can put away chicken/pork dogs very easily. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 11/02/21 12:47:44 PM #16 | DirtBasedSoap posted... george orwell was a major advocate for democratic socialism fyi It's been almost two decades. I've read Brave New World much more recently, so pardon my interpretation. I took it as bowing to a single power, and at the time, it was much more realistic to picture a government with that power, than a corporation. Why would we let a company rule when we at least have some say in government?

Massive amounts of energy to produce something unique that someone needs to feel unique. I'm wondering how long until computers make them nearly-useless and accessible instead of unique.

Vote
It's tough for me. I make thighs the least but boy do I love them! I'm starting to make them more. White meat has a larger potential to be dry compared to dark, but who doesn't like a good chicken wing? I feel the poll options are kinda bland enough for most people. I hope most choose a piece, but I get the dilemma of how hard that can be. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |
| Topic | If you need to write things like milk and eggs on a grocery list |
| pedro45 09/16/21 2:52:49 PM #18 | My list serves two purposes cause it's digital. One is the obvious, to remind me what I need. The other purpose is to let me know when something is on sale. I'll put like ground beef on the list when I have a couple pounds left, then when I see it on sale, I'll pick it up then. My mind plays too many tricks on me to remember what I need or else I have too much milk. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 09/12/21 1:53:36 PM #8 | Far-Queue posted... fr tho I just made my first successful omelet last night (I've only attempted it a few times and either turned them into scrambled eggs or otherwise ruined them) and I'm stoked Any advice? I gave up on making omelettes and will just scramble in meat or cheese. Something tells me it's my patience but one side will cook and the other stays runny. I think I've tried a few methods, too. I like eggs all style but scramble is just so easy and somehow more filling. I could eat so many over medium or fried eggs without feeling it. Boiled and poached are great, especially the ease of the former. Deviled is tasty, but that's a lot of work. I usually have eggs for breakfast and I'm not looking to do that for breakfast. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 08/22/21 4:06:39 PM #23 | Wish employers were held responsible, especially since most are doing fantastic during this. I work in grocery and our numbers are constantly improving. What's not improving is our pay and our benefits are getting cut, sometimes without even telling us. People don't wanna work and it's sad. What could change that other than the employer giving them more benefits than the government? It's not the government, it's business. Business doesn't care about people. You let it do whatever and we get another iteration of cigarettes. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

The only reason I don't have men walking the halls cracking whips at underperforming employees and releasing people into my private reserve for hunting sport is because of the bad PR backlash!

What is causing that disparity and how can we make it betterThere's racism being instilled into our lives at some point. We should look at our education system I guess. When American stops meaning white male to most people, that might be an indicator we're making progress. I mean, I'm talking out my ass here, but almost everyone but white males are some sub-American like Asian American, native American, Mexican American, etc. Why do we think like that?
