Right? I'm fuckin pissed.
Just as I start figuring out my identity and start expressing my truer, happier self, I also have to start looking out for my own safety. It makes me want to fucking rage.

I personally look to see if the company has their own storefront. And sometimes it pays off in unexpected ways.

For example I was in the market for a soldering iron. I found a solid Hakko one on Amazon, but I decided to check their site first and, lo and behold, they had the exact same one for sale for the exact same price. BUT I could choose what color I wanted; Amazon only had the standard blue/yellow, whereas they had two other color choices.
On top of that they included an extra goodie of my choosing, which I chose their coffee mug (I forget the other options).

So because I took the extra time to look around, I was able to get one in a color I preferred, got an extra item out of it, and cut out the unnecessary middle man. Win-win-win as they say.

Sometimes, though, it's just not possible. I was in the market for a triple monitor stand as I use a unique configuration (ultrawide as my main, with two regular widescreens side-by-side above it). The only viable stand I found was available either through Amazon or Walmart. They did not sell directly from their site. So I had to choose which devil I wanted to support.

The image says what happens. It can't hurt you, it's against the rules.

Depends on the region. Some places will test it on noon on Sundays. The place I'm currently at will test it once a month on Wednesday at 11 am.

Adjusted for inflation that would be... $4.99 today...

Can confirm about the unrest. My friend group is discussing these events daily. And a few of them are actually going out and protesting. I'm likely to join in this summer.

I'm gonna have to buy a 360 now to jailbreak and rip its games.
Been doing that for PS1-4, GC, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and OG Xbox. Now it's time for the 360 to join the ranks.

Tl;dr it's Spelunky 2. Would've been nice if they just said that in the title.

Agreed. 2/10, would not recommend to a friend

Younger 30s AMAB here. It's between shoulder and armpit length now and I love it despite the amount of work it takes now.
I've never had it this long before, mostly out of fear about what others would say, particularly my dad. But shortly before 30, I just decided to say, "fuck it," and started growing it out. Now after growing it out for the past few years I've never felt more like me.
And the best part? I have received almost nothing but compliments about my hair. I learned to care for it correctly and found out it's actually pretty curly. I always thought it was just wavy. It makes the ladies jealous and I get to establish my dominance with the best hair in the room.

It was originally on my towel while tanning and I grabbed my phone to take a pic. After the towel pic, it hopped onto my hand right between my middle and ring fingers. The problem was that was my phone hand, so I could feel it moving around, but I couldn't actually see it. I was hoping it would fly away, but it just stayed there. I carefully took my phone with my other hand and it thankfully started walking down my finger. I think it was after my sweat.
