OP is right, got carded at the Fred Meyer today and it was bullshit. Going full Ruby Ridge now

Fortaleza for what it’s worth I never doubted your experience. We each encounter these slings and arrows in real time. What matters is that you now fully understand the gross depravity that Fred Meyer (and parent Kroger) has forced upon a once free people

This cannot stand

As a ~40 year old who lives somewhere with an 18 year old drinking age I've enjoyed being asked for ID 3 times in a month, even if I was wearing a mask. I'd hate to find out it was some sort of store policy behind it.

What's fun is imagining what led to this. I wonder how many minors got away with buying beer/whatever during the pandemic due to masks? This inevitably led to busts at a couple of stores, some big fines, maybe even a half-assed lawsuit because someone's little angel drank liquor bought illicitly. So now Fred Meyer cards everyone, just in case.

Last time I tried to buy a tall boy I was asked to lower the mask

And it's like gently caress, why couldn't you have asked my middle-aged rear end for ID instead, instead of driving me further into the arms of Costco

When they do this I just say no and wait for them to capitulate. I can go somewhere else and buy booze if I have to

It's bullshit anyway if some dude grew a beard since having his photo taken do you make them shave?

not sure if mine count since I'm a legit boomer but:

* those loving status bars at the top of a news story you're reading. I'm not in kindergarten reading my first chapter book and idc if I'm 45 percent thru reading some 6-paragraph story.

* celebs trying to be serious on social media while in their underwear. "Look at my tiddies while I'm sad about ukrainian orphans."

* relatedly, dumbasses putting on neon eyeshadow while they talk about poor Britney. Pick a lane! And a better color for eyeshadow!

* those graphics on youtube thumbnails that look like the POW! BAM! cards from the old batman tv show.

* warnings on social-media posts. gently caress off with your "china state-sponsored media" liner notes.

also a big :yeah: to soundtracks masking dialog & using subtitles.

Worse than sound leveling in TV shows I find is the brightness. Almost everything is so dim you have to crank the brightness up just to see what's happening and it's not like my remote has brightness buttons on it, I've gotta go through a bunch of menu options and remember where they've hidden the setting.

Never tried it. Seemed like an incredibly bad idea

Knew a guy in college before purple drank/lean was a well known thing who would claim to have a drink he called the MMR which was makers mark and robitussin dm and he said it made you feel autistic (get it hahaha). Not sure if it was a joke or he really drank it but he went on to die very young of an overdose so idk

It used to be so easy for artists. The term "starving artist" actually described this, an artist starved for some time off to spend all of the money that they made

Actually it really pissed me off that Hulu made me change my password the other night under “suspicious activity” justifications (what?) but I’m pretty sure they just wanted me to go through the work of getting a half dozen text messages asking for the new password “sure grandma, new password is fuckyouhulu69!”
