For some reason "dildo" is way funnier than "you dildo". Thanks for the laugh

~~Trader Joe's is a subsidiary of Aldi. I'm not sure how that relationship works in regards to labor relations, but if this person wants to avoid Trader Joe's for moral reasons, they might want to avoid Aldi too. ~~

I was wrong, they're different companies that split from the same original company. Thanks for the corrections.

There's no way it's intentional. If you're not familiar with the phrase "white power" in a racist context, the product description is perfectly accurate and reasonable. It took me a few seconds to figure out the problem, so if someone is unfamiliar then there's no way they'll identify the problem.

You got fries? We got green bananas, dry bread, chicken sandwiches (bread, dry "chicken", bread, and nothing else) and a thimble of juice.

I would assume the older washing machines with a big metal or plastic agitator in the drum would be much, much harder on clothes than modern front loading washers. Modern washers just toss the clothes around to agitate, rather than using a big hunk of material to do it. That being said, I think some modern washers run longer cycles than old ones, so it could be a toss up as to which causes the most wear.

I'm using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) with a 3070. I have absolutely zero issues.

How is improving the specs of a standard a scam? It's not like a phone that entices people to buy them with new "features" of questionable utility. Cables are boring! Most people don't buy HDMI cables for fun; they probably only buy them when they get a new device or when an existing cable dies. And even then, who is going to shell out for an expensive version of a cable that they won't utilize its capabilities? Most people buy whatever is cheapest.

Tell the time, the date, and act as a stop watch according to the manufacturers website. My $250 watch does all that and it looks better.

I can totally understand buying a nice/expensive watch, they look nice, the feel nice, they're accurate, they can do cool stuff. I don't understand buying a watch that costs more than most cars cost, especially if it only does the most basic watch features.

Pill pockets are the only way we can get our cat to take her pills. But we've had to put the pills into little gelatin capsules and wrap those in pills pockets because the pills are bitter. If my cat gets a taste of the bitter pills and the pill pocket, she'll never eat the pill pocket flavor again.

Uh. You should care about that. Your family would be left without you. Or one of your family members could die. That's worse than not having a second car.

You want a design from 1966 sold in North America?

They were a mile short of the runway according to the aviation safety network, but your point still stands.
