For anyone still wondering if anything on Temu is good—so many people in my life still are—its best explained as an online dollar store.
A dog bowl? Yes. A basic backpack? Sure. A jigsaw puzzle? Probably… Shoes? No. A Bluetooth anything? Hell no. An outdoor gas heater? Fuck no.
So, yeah. Basically whatever you’d go to a dollar store for because you think it’s something basic, like a door mat, but everywhere else you go they’re like $50 for some reason.
It’s tragic, but it says something. There’s two realities of the belief. Either the gods didn’t notice or care, or they’re Travis Scotts.
Or, they don’t exist. But that’s crazy.
But why? Isn’t that their capitalism at work? If they are good, people will buy them. If they are not, then German manufacturers have nothing to worry about. Heaven forbid a free market act as initially intended, balancing out to reward manufacturers that perform well and consumers with competition driven high quality at reasonable prices.
It’s a bitch, aint it? Some times that Community Chest card ruins your whole Monopoly game.
Oh, wait… Lobbyist card hidden under the board. That’s the capitalism we all know and loathe.
This has always disturbed me. As a non-bidet user, when I have used them (a dozen or so times) an additional final sweep has definitely been required. And yet so many bidet users are adamant everything is magically 100% clean. I now just assume they’re walking around oblivious to a spot of wet mud peppered around the rim of their margherita.
Oh, boy. Awaiting the friendlyjordies video on this one.
And now that you know the value of the card held, you know what needs to be offered to see it played.

Cam I start calling the US authoritarian now?
A short black. Sometimes chocolate fudge ice cream or something, but rarely.
Get a dehumidifier.
Ensure ceiling fan rotation is switched on summer mode.
Bag of ice in the freezer to chew on and always have in a drink. Ice trays are no good.
Waterhole.
Office job.
Keeping lights off/low can be psychologically “cooler” for some.
Bed with wet hair or damp towel will help sleep faster.
Wash regularly to scrub “ick” layer and keep fresh skin on top.
Pub.
Ice pack vests. Can DIY. Fucking amazing.
Sit around in your undies and pretend you love it and eventually you do.
Go to bed early, sleep well, wake up for a whole new day feeling refreshed.
Title implies the USA has national parks in other countries 🤣
Seriously, I’m surprised by the lack in the middle and Texas. NPs aren’t all trees. Plenty of our national parks in Australia are arid.
This doesn’t solve anything except homelessness being an eyesore, to which it relocates and becomes one elsewhere, requiring acting on the law, resulting in relocation and becoming one elsewhere, requiring acting on the law, resulting in relocation…
If they want to go down the route of not fixing homelessness, the next step is culling. Apparently the most expensive and ineffective methods are desirable.
Just looked up the average US salary and I’d be emigrating.
Yeah, but it is on the internet.
GameBoy Pocket. Screen needs a swap though. Copped some sun and the display has darkened bad.
Fool. I have no cares for self-esteem and love telling stories about that awkward time when…
I feel that. Every time I need to upgrade a PC part, it’s like going back to the town I grew up in, but 50 years have passed.
Disgusting.
Two please.
Yeah, I used to do similar stuff but it took me days. Many layers, tweaks, techniques, often just painting in with the tablet.
Won some national photography awards under digital for photo manipulation techniques. It was controversial because it wasn’t “real” photography, even though normally you’d comp the exact same techniques to “retouch” photos.
