Somebody should tell Apple about this.

It’s useful when you have to call the same number frequently. I have to call a support number several times a week and being able to just leave the phone on the counter while I work on other things is convenient.

I feel like that statement was added just as bait to grab a response and up the post engagement.  I wouldn’t justify it with a response.

Back then it was all “sexy full-length skirt” and tight hot bodices.

I’m an American and I can tell you I’ve never been invited to a party where people were dressed this way.  My impression is that the people who buy these use them in bars or clubs when a Halloween theme party is happening.  Or they’re used for private “play” wink wink nudge nudge.

I’m just not going to be able to buy the idea that he transforms into a Hulk and rampages/breaks things/throws people around. 

That’s been the case for as long as I can remember. When I first learned to drive it was hammered into my head that if I was ever so much as in a fender-bender to never say “sorry” because it would be used against you as an admission of blame.

As of a few months ago the newly-built Wendys near my work still wouldn’t allow in-store service or dining. You either order in the the drive through or on their app or you take your business elsewhere. Maybe that’s changed, but I decided I will not patronize dining establishments that will not allow me to come inside

I agree with that guy. When Rowling dies, go ahead and trash her memory if you like. This is not the time for that.

I remember her from Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Note:  I’m convinced that different stores purchase different versions of the same brand and product.  I bought Hormel chili with no beans to make chili dogs.  It was wonderfully chunky and tasted good.  Bought the same product at a different store and found it to be inferior-- not chunky, mostly sauce. 

The name tag is so that you can identify the person in the event that you wish to file a complaint. I presume it also applies to giving a compliment.

I’ll argue that the stated and official inflation numbers are, in fact, under-estimated. I’ve watched a humble TV dinner I occasionally crave go from $3.35 to $3.99 to $4.15 to $4.39 to $4.99 to $5.50 over the summer. That’s nearly double the price for the same product.

HBO MAX is clearly channeling She-Ra for that costume.

I 100% agree.  I notice that a lot of times, a grocery item is missing from the shelves for a week or two, and when they restock it the price has increased substantially.  It’s gamesmanship so the stores can claim the price increase is because “demand is so high.”

When sugar prices spiked in the early 1970s my  mother stopped adding sugar to the tea she made for the family.  We drank unsweetened Iced Tea forever after that.  As an adult I can’t stand sweet tea at all.  Also no lemon in mine, thanks.

I used to work for Sprint and we were told that we would be selling “Pepper” in our stores. They never delivered on that promise and now Sprint is no more.

I stopped wactching it for that reason.  I’d watch it, maybe chuckle a couple of times, then think about how little “story” there was.  Character-driven stories are fine, but There needs to be... something more than what they’re giving us.

Reminds me of Skittles’ Pride Month promotion.  They celebrated diversity by offering all white skittles.  Seemed a little off message to me.

Yeah,  one of Anne Rice’s characters, maybe Lestat himself, calls the penis “that organ we don’t need.”
