Florida. Because all arrest records and mugshots are pretty much immediately available to the public they get the most stories of dumb criminals in the media

Sorta yeah but most large chains dont really do most of their ordering manually - it's half if not mostly or completely automated based on sales, trends and size.

It's obviously very different in small stores where they expect X amount of product they paid for. But it's super easy for, say, Walmart, to move inventory around based on possible trends.

I'm not saying your wrong but it is kinda noticable when my grocery store started carrying lobster a week after I was looking it up on door dash. After not having it for ~10 years or suddenly having 3 frozen geese a month after taking about it after never having it (~18 years at this house).

I'm not about to spend $130 on a small frozen goose. Or ~$80 on a 1lb lobster. I will, however, spend money on lamb - something I've been purposefully bringing up in gchat a lot recently. Something they stopped selling about a decade ago.

If lamb is suddenly available in the next monthish I'll respond to this comment - but maybe I'm just noticing trends that don't exist.

Cost, yeah I was thinking about that. Lobster is pretty readily available at other locations nearby (ish),. Same can be said for lamb and goose. Same distribution center just dropping it off at a different store.

These are things I can buy with only a little travel it's just now they are immediately available as soon as I talk about it.

Not me specifically - generally where you are and what you're taking about (phone location and general conversation).

I don't think anyone specifically is actually listening to me. I think it's automated marketing gone wild.

 

I was talking to my friend how much I've been craving lobster 2 days ago. They now have lobster at my grocery store - they haven't had lobster in years. Last winter I was talking about how much I like goose over Turkey for Christmas dinner and suddenly they had frozen goose and they literally never had goose before.

Am I being targeted or am I paying more attention or am I just being paranoid?

If the bots are listening, bring back lamb. I'll buy lamb chops.

sacrifices had to be made when turning the country ~100º counter clockwise to get that sweet inland sea between them and Spain

I had a roof leak about 5 years ago that cause a lot of damage in one of the bedrooms. I fixed the leak but it took a long time to save up to fix the room. Last month I finally had enough money to get it fixed.

On Sunday, tropical storm Hilary caused several roof leaks including over the same bedroom. The ceiling, wall and carpet that I just replaced is destroyed along with a good chunk of ceiling in the garage. I can tear out the drywall in the garage and leave it, but idk how I'm going to afford to fix the roof and the bedroom.

So my week started out with a lot of frustration.

I still think of doing things "Dick hard and retard strong". Offensive sure, but my former roommate used to always use it as 'doing something reckless and not thought out but with full intent full steam ahead regardless of consequences'.

Edit: not even regardless of consequences, consequences were never part of the equation

Oh man, I remember 7th Guest that game was so cool - a video game with live action cut scenes! That was the same genre as Rama (1996)

 

I've been wanting to get solar for years but my indecisiveness kept me from pulling the trigger.

I finally bought (not leased) solar panels - I just said "yes" to a flashy sales person.

I over paid for sure, but it's still cheaper monthly than I pay for grid electricity. I guess it's a win but I could have saved a lot of money if I shopped around (I've checked since) and actually did anything more than "think about it".

I got ID'd the other day to buy beer. I'm almost 40.

Guess that depends on who you ask. My boss LOVES DS9 over all but I'm more on VOY closely followed by TNG (except I think the first season is cringy). I also really like LD but I know with old school trekkies it's hit and miss - my mom is a big trekkie and can't stand it.

I get where OP is coming from overall, but that's kinda been Futurama's thing. Other places it's shoe horned in and lazy but that's been like half of Futurama's episodes (and the vast majority of South Park) since the beginning.

That being said, I do think the quality of TV has been going downhill for years and few things seem to really be original anymore.

Even if the officer gets fired there's nothing stopping him from applying for and getting a job in a different precinct.

 

I appreciate opposing/different views as long as everyone is reasonable. That sub wasn't void of trolls but it seemed to be more or less balanced (not to be confused with /r/askaconservative). I still lurk but I refuse to interact on Reddit.

 

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

I'm currently on Connect for Lemmy and I mostly like it but it's buggy (new app so I'll be forgiving - but once you search for something you can't back out unless you close the app). Summit is fine but there's no way to see your profile and jerboa doesn't seem to have a way to log in.

I know it's early days but are there any other well rounded apps I should try?

Edit: I'm a dummy, in Jerboa there is a down Caret next to "anonymous" at the top on the slide out menu. That's how you log in
