Pro tip for US folks, if a store is having a “columbus day sale,” it means you can walk in and just take whatever you want

Reminder: I am raising money for a Palestinian doctor from Gaza, currently in Cairo. He is hoping to get a visa to come to the United States. We are just 200 dollars short of our goal. Please share widely and give.

Making sure i add +1 and USA when i give my phone number and address to canadians.. many are calling me a shoo-in for next year’s nobel peace prize

Been seeing more and more uncritical mentions of the 988 mental health hotline lately. If you’re going to promote this, you ought to also include the risks, which are that they collaborate with police: by their own admission about 2% of calls end up with the counselor calling 911 on the person seeking help.

If you are going to reach out to 988, and you don’t want violent fucks with guns potentially showing up at your door, make sure you:
—Do not under any circumstances volunteer your location (988 claims to not use geolocation capability like 911 does)
—never admit to being at an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or in immediately unsafe surroundings. Remember that the counselor may have a lower threshold for defining this than you do!

I like the way this catnip brands itself similaitly to edibles. Gotta keep the whole family high!

Random bright LEDs on charger bricks and cables and random cheap electronics accessories are so irritating. I really value being able to have a dark room when I turn off the lights. Do other people not have issues in a room full of blinkenlights and pulsating LED strips? Is sleeping with lots of annoying lights on around you 24/7 being so normalized that manufacturers don't even realize this is an anti feature?

I have to take the time to tape over, or otherwise obscure the LEDs whenever they are where people sleep (which is most rooms in my tiny place). It is infuriating and makes it look like cheap crap that is half-broken from day-one after getting it.

I am including a poll. Does this bother you too? Do you see a utility in these weird lights? Do you not mind lights being on while you sleep? Falling asleep with a TV or monitor on would be in the same category of not minding these lights in my mind. Reply if you disagree or have more nuance to include.

This sounds like some shit EU people would make up to make fun of how weirdly unsafe american home electrical systems are, but it really did just happen.

I had to go shoplift a new power strip.
Below is a picture of the offender.

This shit was really old, but I have even older ones that have never done something like this.

Fill your reddit shelf with him. It's what he would have wanted!

Got this picture of them together with a Che Guevara flag while Nazbol astolfo was saying lots of offensive stuff.
