Original Source mint shower gel (first introduced to me by goons as "minty ball wash") is also way less strong than it used to be. Still smells nice.

Many years ago, my then-girlfriend had a shower at my place and I specifically warned her not to get it anywhere near any sensitive areas. Guess what she deliberately did almost immediately?

It's just the most hosed up thing that an ambulance ride to the ER is like $1,000. Yeah, let's make sure that we have desperate severely injured people on the roads because they can't afford to call 911.

A few years ago I had to go to the ER for a chemical burn on my eye because I dropped my (undiluted) Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap on the shower floor an a stream shot directly into my eye.

Jokes aside, what exactly is the appeal of soap that burns? Is this like hot sauce for your taint?

I had a stroke (supposedly; the doctors could not actually identify what happened but this is their best guess) on my neighbor's porch a little over a year ago. They found me knocked out, unconscious, and brought me inside to nurse me to health. I was incoherent for almost an entire day, except (so says my neighbor) any time she said, she needs to call 911, I would become very lucid and say NO AMBULANCE! NO!! NO! (she does not drive)

I don't remember that, but yeah I grew up kind of poor and everyone I knew was economically in the same boat, and we all knew of someone whose life was supposedly ruined because of the costs of an ambulance trip. No ambulance for me unless I'm bleeding out.

My favorite thing about Dr. Bronner's is how every hippie that bothers to use soap uses it despite the fact that it's covered in batshit religious crap and I don't think any of them have ever read the bottle.

In other news, after talking it over with friends, an idea re: google making GBS threads up their search:

My amazing plan:

1: Find some search terms that no advertiser wants to see their brand next to, but made of words people might legitimately search, like "gay nazis". Find a few, this could take a while.

2: Search indirectly for big brands also using the terrible terms from earlier, e.g.: "burger restaurant gay nazis" or whatever. Feel free to use operators to make this work, that won't matter.

3: Try to get your screenshot of gay nazi mcdonald's to go viral. If at first you don't succeed, that's what the other terms you thought of are for, like "jizz coated nestle" and "poo poo on my chest azure web services" or whatever.

4: Eventually it will get enough attention - maybe not a lot but enough - for the advertisers to force google to suspend promoted searches on those keywords, regardless of operators. The advertisers are not going to care about any weird squiggles or brackets or booleans, and a giant NOT would just look like protesting too much.

5: You can now search normally by typing your normal poo poo plus your magic words, for example:
train schedule new york NOT "gay nazis". No advertisers will want to touch it. Although obviously it can't fix the search genuinely sucking by itself.

ur welcome

the "burning" that people think dr bronner's has isn't anything dangerous or unique to that brand. it's just what real soap feels like. most "soap" isn't soap, it's a sulfate-based detergent

Perhaps there's a reason for that

lol no the burning is not because it's 'real soap' - soap does not automatically assuage your mucous membranes unless there's something in it which does.

the burning is bc of the essential oils loaded into dr bronners for scent. you're not supposed to be putting such things directly on your bits and bootyhole.

the burning is your body letting you know this isn't good

never tried dr bronner's. my tingly soap experience is denorex shampoo. had an oily patch on my scalp as a child and the pediatrician suggested it. it's like rubbing your head in mint, actually kind of pleasant.

once i dropped a bottle and broke it, and the shower was noticeably cleaner where it ran into the drain

they used to do substitutions where the price was the old item or the new item, whichever was lower (and sometimes it did work out well) but these days i'd rather just turn them all off


safeway's website in general has gotten immensely lovely over the last few months. they brought in a ~third party marketplace~, because what you want when you're buying household groceries is actually foodservice-oriented multi-hundred-dollar mega bulk packs delivered to your door, and they're sprinkled in everywhere without a way to turn them off

in the last month they've started introducing "subscribe and save" (straight off amazon, complete with 5%) except they put it on everything. no, safeway, i do not need to "subscribe and save" to baking trays.

My local grocery store has in-store pickers for pickup orders, but they make random delivery people pick your order if you are having it delivered.

So if you use that option, you get endless texts from the delivery person going "... uhhhh.... uhhhh.... they don't have the tortillas you wanted. Do you want me to sub it with hot-dog buns? Oh, and they were out of the club-pack of chicken breasts, so I'll sub it with some pepperoni sticks."

If it "isn't good" then why does it make my butt-hole smell like a candy cane? Sounds pretty good to me.

I've occasionally had the in-store shoppers send me a text message asking about substitutions, but only twice out of the probably twenty times we've done pickup recently. It's not common at all, but when they did it was nice to specify an alternate instead of getting wildly different items.

yeah, even the nicer grocery stores around me often have milk that's a day away from expiration at the front and you have to dig for something with a reasonable date. the other day i was going to get some mushrooms and all of them were moldy

the once grocery store i worked at, we were supposed to go around every night and check dates on stuff that wasn't in the freezer and occasionally i'd find stuff like 4 months out of date. the green ham was a gross one

Grocery stores don’t “front” anymore so grabbing the stuff from the back on the shelf doesn’t always mean you’re getting the newest product

I blame employees not having enough time to get their work done. It’s probably also contributing to expired product being chucked out.

I can't speak for everyone but we've only had a few bad items get mixed in (packaging that tore open and month-expired cheese dip, mostly) and we returned it next time for a refund. Not really any worse than doing it ourselves.

The only time I've had groceries delivered was when I had covid and wanted a bulk flat of sports drink to keep hydrated. Every time I ordered one I just got a six pack at my door because the guy didn't want to carry something heavy.

I don't think they message you about substitutions if the total order cost is less, but on a per-bottle basis it ended up being way more.

So if I were to order a gallon of milk and they didn't want to carry it, they could just buy a little individual cup and since it's both milk that's totally fine? That doesn't seem right.

If I need X amount of something for a recipe I need that X amount. If someone didn't buy exactly what I ordered then like.... I'd never use that service again. That's amazing.
