  • For anyone still wondering if anything on Temu is good—so many people in my life still are—its best explained as an online dollar store.

    A dog bowl? Yes. A basic backpack? Sure. A jigsaw puzzle? Probably… Shoes? No. A Bluetooth anything? Hell no. An outdoor gas heater? Fuck no.

    So, yeah. Basically whatever you’d go to a dollar store for because you think it’s something basic, like a door mat, but everywhere else you go they’re like $50 for some reason.

    I didn’t notice it much this year. I think the markets have moved on. It’s been years since rainbow Facebook profile pics and now the right is having surging influence. Companies will jump onto homophobia if that’s cool in the next few years.



  • But why? Isn’t that their capitalism at work? If they are good, people will buy them. If they are not, then German manufacturers have nothing to worry about. Heaven forbid a free market act as initially intended, balancing out to reward manufacturers that perform well and consumers with competition driven high quality at reasonable prices.

    It’s a bitch, aint it? Some times that Community Chest card ruins your whole Monopoly game.

    Oh, wait… Lobbyist card hidden under the board. That’s the capitalism we all know and loathe.






  • Get a dehumidifier.

    Ensure ceiling fan rotation is switched on summer mode.

    Bag of ice in the freezer to chew on and always have in a drink. Ice trays are no good.

    Waterhole.

    Office job.

    Keeping lights off/low can be psychologically “cooler” for some.

    Bed with wet hair or damp towel will help sleep faster.

    Wash regularly to scrub “ick” layer and keep fresh skin on top.

    Pub.

    Ice pack vests. Can DIY. Fucking amazing.

    Sit around in your undies and pretend you love it and eventually you do.

    Oh, please. He’s a marketer that mimics. It’s a rinse repeat exploit that’s paid well. He’s like a super efficient Simon Cowell because he doesn’t have to find people with a voice, just keep a close on upcoming artists, blatantly copy them, flog sales. And idiot fans marvel at his broad range in genre and sound like it comes from within lol

    Edit: Oh, yeah, and then there’s all the copyright issues he’s constantly in when flying too close to the sun.






  • you often need to buy it from other countries. For instance, Russia. Not great.

    Yeeeeah, I wouldn’t worry about that. Sure we (Australia) are conservative with our fears of mining and exporting uranium, especially with the Cold War and reactor whoopsies around the world. But historically it doesn’t take much for us to go down on an ally.

    Just let us finish unloading all our coal off to the worst polluting nations first, then we’ll crack the top-shelf stuff.



  • You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.

    He went pretty ape shit about the golden cow—as believable any part of that story goes. Catholics seem to be all about idoloc knick-knacks and getting all stabby and controlling over them… Like, the opposite of what a Christian is meant to do.
