There's a pretty good scam that's been going on in the UK for years. Like you guys we have toll free numbers, but we also have non-geographical location numbers which were designed back in the 80s or 90s (maybe even earlier) so you could call from anywhere in the country and itd be considered a local call rather than a long distance if you were to call the real unpublished number. So far so good.

Cell phone carriers decided that they weren't going to include these or toll free numbers as part of the minute bundles you get, so if you ever try call a company you either have to try find the unpublished number, or pay through the rear end at something like 70c a minute to call them to wait on hold for 30 minutes.

They all got replaced with 03 numbers by real companies about a year ago, you can call to your hearts content

I always presumed the 03s worked exactly the same way? Weren't they only introduced because 08s ran out?

I always use my works phone to call them anyway, but that's useful to know if it's the case.

E: found the wiki entry, that's pretty interesting. Good that they found a way to sort it out, but crazy they didn't just tell mobile carriers to stop being assholes and charge people in included minutes for them.

It's not even just Claptrap. He does this like every other day with whatever is being posted from his "women with big boobs" group or whatever.

I've posted a few others but searching for just those would mean pages of 'libtards' 'obama monkey' 'gently caress poors' etc memes I'd probably go crazy 20 minutes in.

e: And is extremely unhealthy obsession with guns. Even as a closet firearm owner he makes me super nervous.

I've got a friend in a long-term relationship who spends a ridiculous amount of time using Facebook to fawn over cosplay girls, and I can't decide who's the biggest IOSM. Him for being a guy in his late 20s tragically hit on big titty Pikachu girls in full view of his girlfriend, or his girlfriend for putting up with her boyfriend openly hitting on big titty Pikachu girls several times a day for the duration of their relationship.

Would you be able to upload the original image at full resolution for us? I tried to google for it but couldn't find it (I just now realized I could crop and reverse-image search it I guess but I'm on my phone and don't know how well that would work). I think it's hilarious and could get a lot of mileage out of it.

It's more condescending to assume people who have trouble with some things on this list ("Oh, I forgot my meds" or "I have a bad habit of slumping over" or "Remember to stretch" or "Remember to drink more water") are unable to live by themselves or are childish as some people in this thread have suggested.

Personally, and I am saying this as a person who does struggle to do basic day-to-day things to varying degrees, I just find the tone of those posts to be generally very patronizing. They also depend on the viewer seeing them at regular intervals (such as every day, in the case of meds or water/food intake) and they also depend on the user having motivation. For instance, someone reminding a user to eat doesn't mean they're going to go, "poo poo, you're right, food is necessary." What I'm getting at is that I understand your perspective, and I just wanted to add that for some people, these kinds of posts can be construed as somewhat insulting.

Anyway, content:

From its name, I'd think that this would be one of those plastic feet with vaginas in them. I'd say this is weirder, though. Who would buy one of these?

e: I can't even find anything about this on the internet. You should definitely trade them for it.

Honestly this dude has always stayed pretty quiet on Facebook, usually just posting interesting or weird pictures he finds on the Internet with no comment. This week though he seems like he's lost his mind.

He was definitely a stoner in school who was a little rough around the edges but he was always so sweet to me. :smith:
How old is he? If he's 25 or under, he's well within the window for starting to show symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, which really can come on suddenly and cause someone to suddenly flip the gently caress out, start burning bridges, think everyone is after them, etc.

Can someone explain this to me? My interpretation is "don't bother apologizing because I'm going to hold a grudge against you forever and your mistake has permanently soured my relationship with you" which seems like a pretty lousy thing to make an informative macro out of.

It's "don't deliberately harm things in the first place." That's the point of those stories; you can't take actions back so try to make amends beyond just apologizing if you do gently caress up but err on the side of kindness and be careful about what you do.
