I manage a produce department of an IGA, and for years I’ve had the freedom to order produce from cheaper third-parties to keep my prices low. I have always maintained a 99¢ /lb. to $1.99 /lb. maximum sale price on bulk apples, but just recently Sobeys (our parent company) forced our largest third-party supplier to become an “official ordering partner” and to match all of their costing or lose our business. Now those third-parties are pointless to order from unless I am shorted a bunch of produce from our warehouse. And my apples? $2.49 /lb. to $4.99 /lb., depending on the variety. An absolute fucking joke.

Can’t believe that was his real hair. That’s the haircut of a preacher who beats the life out of his children with a belt.

Holy fuck, I just looked up the record. Not what I was expecting at all. It looks like one of those 700 lb. people who can’t roll off of their futon. Even the underside is shockingly similar.

Don’t mind if I do!

Are you talking Australian Kmart or North American? In North America it was minimum wage for the vast majority of workers and zero benefits. I only made $11 USD (my store went under in 2016) as a supervisor with keys to the store and the safe, so it was a pretty shit arrangement. But it was a good stepping stone that got me into managing within the grocery industry, where I’m making significantly more for much more palatable work.

As a former PM Supervisor at Kmart, I think I just got mildly triggered by the K-Mart’s store closing part. That liquidation process was hands down the most monumentally stressful and hellish period of my life. Fuck that company and everyone who turned up to plunder it.

“Holy FUCK, boys! He looks t’ be about a ten footer!”

You have to really lean in on the words to properly express your italicized voice. You almost have to sound like an asshole. Like a somewhat sarcastic asshole…

That’s honestly a shame, because (despite no longer playing) I came to Turtle WoW fresh out of Classic, and was blown away by how expansive and canon the experience felt. They expanded the game outward, not upward. I remember the Durotar starting zone had more details throughout, with immersive touches like orcish warriors training/drilling in the Valley of Trials. It was everything I wished Classic could have been. Blizzard (thinking they know better than the players as always) couldn’t be fucked to even entertain Classic+, and gave us whatever half-baked trash Season of Discovery was, with a congratulatory self pat on the back as though they did something innovative.

Fuck Blizzard. Turtle WoW outdid them long ago.

Is that the low-emissions one that bad actors keep pretending is a “production cap”, despite oil production currently being higher then ever?

Steve Boots has some good videos discussing the whole ordeal. Highly recommend him to fellow left-leaning Canadians. He’s a former teacher and has managed to teach me far more than I ever hoped to learn on my own.

Every now and then I just save the German memes and send them to my English group chats to make sure they’re confused too.

I love staring at a small, rusty, unassuming chimney and knowing it’s just sitting on top of the fucking Vatican.

Jamil is such a needlessly aggressive and whiny little cunt. Dude gives off the energy of a middle school football player flipping his shit over how the other team cheated and the refs are corrupt.

WOooAaHhh! 🫨

My hope is that the CPC* splits and/or reforms into a more moderate and respectable party, so that at least it won’t be fucking armageddon in the event that they win a future election. But if I know conservatives worldwide, they won’t learn shit.

(Edit: CPC, not UCP)

Kyle is one of those names that don’t really kick in until age 12. Like, yeah, that baby is named Kyle. But it hasn’t kicked in yet.

My wife sometimes stops to compliment me because she knows men don’t often receive compliments. I always appreciate that.
