I feel like OS age verification is similar to when they started asking for zip codes at checkout (U.S.). At first it was seen as weird and brushed off as harmless, but now they shamelessly ask for your email and phone number and get annoyed when you say no.



but did you disable the lesser known tab history (firefox)? Hamburger menu >> History

Tissues. Such a small thing in the house, but a world of difference on the nose compared to toilet paper or other options. When money is tight tissues, amongst other things, are one of the first to be cut from spending.


haha, ive purchased a few flavors from that brand including Mac and Cheese. All gross, but a funny novelty to gift.

What if I said it’s Death Wish. and left to steep in a french press throughout the day 😉 And its a large cup (10oz)


I would also like to know. *sips 4th cup of coffee at 6pm*


Personally, i always thought Rao’s was nasty and never understood the hype.


Im sorry she had to go through that. Kroger is a shit company to their employees and customers. I was there for maybe a month before i did the same, no show/call and quit. I specifically applied for the bakery, they hired me for the bakery, but on my first day they started dropping hints the bakery was over staffed and tried to probe my interest in working in the deli, which was a hard no and they knew that. The second week they kept trying to position me in deli and i refused every single time. By the third week they told me i had no choice, but to work deli, so i stopped showing up.

All in all, they gave me less pay than promised, less hours than promised, less benefits than promised, and work in a completely different deparment than promised. The hours, by the way, they kept just a hair shy, and well below what i was promised, of qualifying for benefits, which i was also promised.

“Fresh for everyone” my ass


I grew up shopping at Kroger and continued to shop there for a years after I moved out on my own. Cant say enough how much i fucking hate Kroger. Our local one decided to put in those stupid security gates at the door, forcing you to walk the ENTIRE LENGTH of the store and through the registers to get out. It was the last straw in a mounting hay pile of shitty changes that pushed me to start going to Meijers despite kroger being much closer. Cant state enough how much i fricken love Meijers compared to Kroger, Giante Eagle, Etc around here.

EDIT: I also worked Kroger bakery in 2019 and i got to see how they rolled back all pay and benifits over the years for new employees. They were also abusive as fuck with my hours.


Annual/routine email verification fills that need, though. For the sites i do support desk for, an email verification link is sent during account creation and then annually. If the email address is not verified then on login the account holder is prompted to either resend the verification link or change it and verify the new email.

omfg, i caught the cpu was missing the heat sink, but completely spaced it being on the back exhaust.


Living in Ohio (midwest U.S) its not entirely a yes or no and more of a “it depends”. Ive noticed older people assume shoes on but anyone under 40 will either ask or assume shoes off at the door. Theres also a layer of midwest nice to the whole exchange of not wanting to inconvenience the other person, so you get situations where a party will start with everyone wearing shoes, but end with everyone shoeless.


From my experience living in the midwest older people tend to assume shoes on is okay while younger folks either ask what is preferred or assume they should take them off. The entire exchange at the door is very midwest of not wanting to be rude or inconvenience the other person.


The slant in print writing I think stems from how curisve is (was?) taught in U.S elementary schools. I recall getting the very distinct advice to tilt my paper 45° for cursive writing and it ended up becoming a habit that carried over into my print writing.

Thanks, but dont give me too much credit. My handwriting is more towards the sloppy side than proper, haha. Im frequently asked “what does this say” when others try to read my hand written notes.

In all honestly, if you arent getting that question from other people often, or at all, ("what does this say?"), then your pendmanship is generally good even if it has little quirks like a slightly more rounded ‘a’ or short stemmed ‘d’.
