chitoryu12 posted:There's something similar to the "murder mystery box" idea with The Mysterious Package Company. Depending on how much money you spend, you can sign up yourself to receive updates on current mysteries or you can sign up someone else to receive mysterious packages that put them in the middle of a Lovecraft-style supernatural horror story that ends with them receiving a personalized gift related to the story. This actually seems really interesting, though I can't imagine it's quite as ... amazing as they write it up to be. It's like an ARG except without the game part.

Yes, my mouse DID move to the upper corner of the window, because I AM leaving your site; no, I don't want to sign up for your newsletter before I leave. Fine, okay, I'll click your loving passive-aggressive "no" option, you piece of poo poo. http://confirmshaming.tumblr.com/ has a whole bunch of these. Shame it hasn't updated in the last month or so.

MariusLecter posted:Remember the ads for 7up that went, "Make 7... Up yours! " Many many years ago I saw someone at school who had a shirt like that. The front said "Make 7" and the back "up yours". I thought it was clever, but I was also 12 at the time.

My only experience was in trying to buy a pink hair brush (one of three colors they offered, and the one on the end of the hanger). The cashier made sure to remind me that there were other colors available if I didn't want pink (despite the rest of them clearly being available). I'm not sure how to feel about the ~for girlz~ branding. On one hand, if it gets poo poo like Legos into the hands of kids who have parents with extremely frail senses of gender, that's good. But I worry that it just perpetuates the cycle, too.

He was not bounced because of salary demands. And he was not bounced because he wanted a starting job. No, he was rejected by NFL team owners because he became a financial liability, kneeling for social justice and igniting a telling firestorm with President Donald Trump.

one of the other nefarious things delivery middlemen like ubereats / doordash etc. do is inflate all the menu prices on top of their various fees and then pocket the difference. and that's on top of an immense pile of other poo poo they doPhazonLink posted:I hope the next escalation in this is drivers using GPS spoofers.(which apparently might be highly illegal and might cause bad things to happen?) there are ways to spoof your location via gps that are as simple as installing an app. there's nothing illegal about it, but it certainly breaks gig app terms of service and the apps themselves will likely attempt to detect if you're spoofing

there were a few times at the last place i lived where the gps signal on our phones would suddenly drop. was pretty fun to check my rtl-sdr and actually see the frequencies being jammed. (it was some construction truck working on another apartment)
