  1. Pondering how people toot memes or post about being an ass/mean/sarcastic, relate it to themselves, and think that's funny. I have a great sense of humour, but ngl, I look at those and think "Why would you say "I'm a selfish asshole and I'm not planning on stopping any time soon" and think that's going to make people want to connect with you and that it's an attractive quality, especially when you're saying you're not going to change?😂

  2. A good use for AI? An effective image, no matter what the source! (Apologies to Napoleon Dynomite).

  3. Apparently, Tim Hortons is charging random prices for the same items, in St-Laurent vs Laval, QC...

    I demand an explanation from Tim Hortons b/c there is nothing I see where it's a f*cking free-for-all, OR that there's been ANOTHER price increase in 2025.

  4. “We are clarifying that, as we continue to increase the breadth and depth of the content we make available to you, circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our ’no ads’ or ‘ad free’ subscription tiers.”

    TLDR: “you paid for no ads, but we are making you watch them anyway.”

    🤦🏻

  5. Hey #Amazon

    "Imported" is not a "country of origin". Or do you just spell "China" funny?

  6. So, I am so tempted to write, "Micro Plastic" on anything made with "Micro Fibers". The same with "Vegan" Leather. Call it "Plastic Leather". Seriously!!! We are better off using real leather (tanned sustainably) from animals that are slaughtered than FAKE leather that will poison everything!

  7. How come the sign says "*Self* Storage" if you're not allowed to live in there?

    Also who wants "Public Storage"? I want *private* storage. I don't want the whole public having access to all my stuff.

  8. This box of breakfast cereal says "family size", but there's no way my family would fit in there. I bet no one else's would either. 🤔

  9. Mazola corn oil is running ads claiming it "may be healthier for you than olive oil" based on "studies". So they slapped a "Heart Healthy" label on the bottle.

  10. To whom it may concern: "faux pockets" are not a kind of pocket, they are a kind of fraud.

  11. (come to #NBPy! We can't guarantee that you can kayak to the venue, but we'll at least ask you if you're interested and do what we can to make it happen? #TruthInAdvertising pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy )

  12. In much of the U.S., one thinks they pay $3.52, or 352 cents per gal. (for example) for gas. But they often pay 352.9 cents per gallon.

    If one buys 15 gal. of gas— They think they should pay 5,280 cents, or $52.80. However, they pay 5293.5 cents. Rounded up, that is $52.94 – 14 cents more.

    They give the gas station an extra $2.10 that might not have realized they would just glancing at the price at the pump (if they fill their tank 15 times a year).

  13. The CPC, completely predictably, are stoking hatred of their opponents with flat-out lies, flagrant bullshit, and inflammatory language. There is zero truth in this CPC petition. Don't be taken in like the Alberta NDP leadership contenders have been.
