Why would you get rid of an SKS? Shit is durable as heck and beat the living shit out of the US army in not one but TWO wars.

When the nigger/zombie/whatever apocalypse happens, you can be sure that the survivors will be carrying an SKS and they will be worth their weight in gold.

I mean, I got my nornico somehow man. And I wasn't the first owner, nor are they importing more chink SKS's. You're right, but the fact it looks more like a hunting rifle means it gets dumped a lot. Good for me, keeps prices down

>Target is doing that one Stanley per household thing

Did he mean customer instead of household or are you actually required to give your address to Target when buying that overpriced shit?

Yep and water-tok itself is consoomer nonsense because it's all about how plain water isn't acceptable, you need to buy all these stupid drink powders and shit to mix in with your water (affiliate links in bio!!!! 💋).
(this video is kind of in defense of water-tok, but just to give an idea of what water-tok is, for the curious)

Imagine being such a vacuous attention whore that even something as basic as drinking water has to be shared online. These idiots must live their entire lives just looking for shit to post on their social media accounts.

Nah, I doubt that. It's probably just "limit 1 per household" at the cashier's discretion so that if you make it blatantly obvious you're in a group but going through checkout separately to hoard something they can just say "lol you got your cup now fuck off."

They're not really ever going to knock themselves out trying to thwart paying customers. Sure, it sucks to have to turn later customers away because you've sold out of something, but "sold out of profitable popular thing we bought a fuckton of already" is a great problem for a retailer to have.

See, to me, the reason to buy an expensive item is that I don't want lots of them. I want one of them which will last for years (with repairs, if it's that kind of item).

You know why I own like 60 different DeWalt tools because of a different things do you know why I own 100 batteries because I don't like acting to run out of batteries when I'm on a job

The Virgin books about Dr fallacy was the Chad George Lincoln Rockwell's Fable of the Ducks and the hens
Funny enough Rockwell's book could actually be read as a normal children's book these are just lame agit prop

i'd be curious to force one of these women to live a month or so without anything 'cute' and see if they keel over

all the same comforts, not forced to live in squalor or anything, but just having to drink their water out of plain white cups and plain water bottles and not being allowed to document every moment of their lives
i reckon they'll go mad within a day

I think it may do them good to experience freedom from all that clutter actually. Something like a meditative retreat. Less stimulation, less distraction, just you, your thoughts, the bland taste of room temp water, the absence of noise, the neutrality of the cup.

it can do wonder for mental health. with stuff you get the dopamine high at the beginning, because it's shiny and new, but then, it's just another piece of trash you have to deal with

Social media has eroded people's ability to introspect and internalize anything. I wonder what effect this will have on children and teenagers who spend all their free time on Twitter and TikTok. I feel like they're not fully forming personalities - there's influencers to tell you how to fucking drink water. Maybe I'm shaking my fist at clouds but it gives me a sense of dread for the future.
 
Almost all the women managers and executives at my job own multiple Stanleys and are quite proud of how much they will spend on one since the ones they want are in short supply; one bragged she spent a couple hundred dollars on a forest green one. They are treated as status symbols.

but this is tiktok we're talking about, i'm pretty sure there were trends that actually started with one randy or big influencer going "hey guys let's start doing this from now on!" and people did

one common thing these people claim is that if you had certain kinds stomach surgeries, particularly "weight loss" surgery (which i still think is the dumbest name imaginable, that's like if we started advertising lobotomies as antidepression sur- oh wait...) are incapable of drinking plain water
i don't know why and i'm genuinely curious to know, maybe it's a lack of certain chemicals that makes you unable to keep it down, which these syrups supplement?
either way, it hardly matters, because most of the people in this community didn't have these surgeries and aren't documenting their healing process, they just do it cause it's *~*aesthetique*~*
but call em cringe and they'll always use the sick to vilify you for it

perhaps you joke, but i do feel like these "educated" folks, particularly the women, in positions of management, tend to be way dumber than most women i met working simpler more physical jobs

for the longest time it was presented as the other way round, factory and land work was the simpleminded work to which education and modern work was a step up, but i swear it's not true, it's like the high education system and office work world is actively UN-teaching people
 
I thought I read about Sephora kids in this thread, but I couldn't find anything with search, so apologies if this is old news.

Lately YouTube has been recommending me videos about children who are obsessed about expensive skincare they see on TikTok, Instagram etc. Stuff that they don't need and could be harmful for their skin, but it is something their favorite influencers use so naturally they must have it too. And when they go to shop them, being children they are, they play and mess with the testers there. There are many videos where they show what kind of mess these kids left behind and once you see one, you've seen them all. But this one caught my eye because I've watched some of her other videos about skincare. And I wanted to know why she has those patches on her face.

Of course the kids destroying testers and harassing other customers are bad for business, but I can't imagine this lady filming herself while blocking the stand from paying customers while she meddles with testers, making faces and having a panic attack and looking like a crazy lady who forgot to take off under eye patches that morning is much better if you ask the workers there.
