Hard to follow. Are you saying you’re living with type A introverts, and that is causing some problems for you? You say this type prefers quiet activities but no concern for stillness…are you being distracted by their quiet but active activities or something?

I mean the math checks out, but holy crap, you're 43, but at 19 '9/11 hadn't happened yet....'

Yeah, or maybe mocking a group that is a little too gullible and full of itself with what is arguably a broadly harmless prank isn't the same thing as tricking someone vulnerable into drinking bleach to make friends or something.

Honestly, tricking someone into eating something many people eat willingly isn't the moral quagmire you seem to think it is.

Fair, but looking both ways would be like 'watch out for wood that is discolored or seems sketchy in any way', your comment was more like 'it is absolute bullshit to encourage anyone to walk across the street for any reason and you should feel bad!'

Which is exactly why the tariffs are stupid at one more level. The only thing they're good for in theory is to level the playing field for non-tariffed products, to make them competitive to make 'here', but no company in it's right mind is going to invest in the infrastructure it's meant to drive knowing they aren't guaranteed in the slightest.

Imagine if they were trying to catch the frog on the court though

Technically I'm their best interests to get as many countries to all retaliate at the same time.

Why do you seem to lean into the 'can't comprehend' angle? Someone could not be as worried about something as you are without being incapable of comprehending it.

Absolute bullshit seems a little harsh. Are you referring to evidence that this is actually a thing, or is this just something that someone realized could technically happen and decided it was worth spreading fear and credit for the attention?

Of course stuff could spill on a pallet, but the number/percent of pallets that actually get reused like this as a cross section of pallet loads of stuff that are damaged, with a further cross section of things that are damaged and dangerously poisonous and don't make the wood look or smell odd has got to be in the ballpark of odds of getting hit by a bus.

Just because something is plausible doesn't mean everyone should take the risk as a certainly, just like the possibility of getting hit by a bus should keep everyone on their side of the street.

I mean, it’s a flag, just not a red one.

Would be interesting if everyone still stuck using it consistently advertised a discount for finding them on any site besides Twitter. Might not make the biggest difference by itself but it could start a trickle that turns into the flood.

Basically a surcharge for users that only know Twitter or otherwise wouldn't be bothered by the noise. Maybe call it a tarrif that can be easily avoided :)

Another way to look at it is like having to use Windows because that's what they use at your job. There's a problem but because most people are oblivious or don't care, the momentum is difficult to escape. You may find it easy to say 'quit you job then' to fully show your disapproval but not everyone has that luxury.

I do hope everyone that is stuck using it mentions in every commission or interaction that they are available on different sites as well though.

Anyone still using it or of convenience though should quit immediately.
