CVS/Walgreens will do minor shopping for you under certain circumstances: you're a frequent customer, you're disabled in some way that makes it hard to walk through a store, the store isn't super busy, and whatever item you want will fit through the little door that the Rx gets put into.

Sometimes if the pharmacy was busy but the store wasn't, they would call a front employee to grab an item and take it back there, or meet the customer out front with it.

I think CVS has curbside pickup now for non-perscription stuff.

The married couple felt afraid and captive in their own home for nearly four years.

About 30 times each year, women would show up on their front porch late at night or early in the morning. They would strip and then, seeking payment, would try to open the front door or ring the doorbell, waking the Elkhorn couple’s two young children.

It caused marital stress and affected their professional lives.

The visits and the women’s actions were orchestrated by a neighbor across the street: Douglas Goldsberry, who masturbated while watching from his kitchen.

“It’s a really twisted and sick plot,” said Deputy Douglas County Attorney Chad Brown, adding that Goldsberry called it “a screening process.”

“He derived pleasure out of how far he could control these women to see how far he could get them to go.”

Goldsberry, 45, was sentenced to the same amount of time he terrorized the family — four years, the maximum penalty on his pandering charge.

Under state guidelines that cut sentences in half, Goldsberry will serve less than two years, with credit for 177 days already served in jail.

But he also faces other charges.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office searched his electronic devices and found evidence of child pornography on his hard drives. Goldsberry has been indicted in federal court on one count of possession of child pornography and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of that charge.

This story doesn't make any sense.

These prostitutes, are they in on the plan? Or does he have to give instructions to each one every time he does it? "yeah go to this address, and before you even enter the house, just strip off in public."

I mean after you get the 4th or 5th prostitute arrested for public indecency and / or indecent exposure to a minor, you'd think a pimp would stop taking orders for that address? I mean it only takes loving a pizza delivery guy over once or twice to get your house blacklisted.

I've hired dozens of prostitutes and never once have I had to work through a pimp.

...did I say that out loud?

I was talking to a friend who volunteered at a convention here last weekend, and they were saying that all of the American visitors who she sold stuff to at her booth had to either swipe or insert their credit card into the eftpos terminal. Paywave/paypass transactions aren't a thing there I guess?

Blizzcon had an hour-long event called ‘Overwatch: What’s in the loot box?’ that was only available to virtual ticket holders and people attending live, so they’d have to specifically go to that event instead of the super-hyped USA vs South Korea match.

A bunch of people went there and got virtual tickets thinking that it’d be, at the very least, a reveal of something new that was coming to Overwatch loot boxes, if not actually getting something cool and exclusive for attending.

Turns out that
- There was supposed to be a giant loot box on stage, but it didn’t make it through customs, so the stage was completely empty aside from the panellists
- The panellists were three YouTubers guessing for almost an hour straight as to what was in loot box prop that didn’t exist
- For the big reveal, after an hour of time-wasting, another YouTuber walked on stage and was like “uhhhh yeah it was supposed to be me in the box, haha, i was going to be in a costume but i didn’t do that, anyway that’s it, thanks for coming guys”



Even though you could only see the front couple of rows on the stream, you could still see people walking straight out before the event even wrapped up, after realising it was one of the biggest convention trainwrecks since Dashcon.

How dare we feature an actor who once hit on a child! Please enjoy this wholesome show, Riverdale, instead, where Archie is loving his highschool teacher in a car.

Of all the strange things about America, I think that surprised me and the rest of the Europeans I was with the most. Oh and drive through liquor stores.

So are you astonishingly poorly-informed or are you also a pedophile and trying to downplay the seriousness of literally groping many children over decades?

I don't know, I only heard about the one claim, I'm not saying it's fine I'm just finding it really ironic that they pretend to care while placing it right next to a show where child grooming is portrayed in a positive light.

Yeah drive-through liquor stores are a thing in Australia because that gives you something you can't just carry around in your pocket.
