For me it’s the waist. It’s really thin, which would be ok for a 60’s illustration but the contour of her dress doesn’t match before and after the forearm.

Ahhh they surely saved from not buying avocado on toast.

I’m in Australia. Here when meats approach their date they mark them down, but you don’t see them still for sale after the date. I found an item that wasn’t supposed to be on the shelves anymore. Yeah the waste is really frustrating.

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be regulations. If I’m paying for something I expect a certain level of quality and safety.

I’m also saying people should have the right to take a risk if they want to eat something out of a trash can for free. “You can’t take our trash for free because you might sue us” is very much mildly infuriating to me

It’s just that you need “pioneers”, people who resonate with what’s already here but also want to add to whatever new communities. I don’t think we’ll have a migration of users only for those topics if we first don’t have a few that can already keep things alive as they are.

I hear you, I hear you and here’s my two stories:

Once at Large Chain Supermarket I found some lamb chops on special. Took them to the self serve checkouts but the item didn’t scan. The team member had a look and said, it’s because it’s past its expiry date ( the date was the day before). The meat was in perfect condition though, no dark spots or dry edges or any discoloration. So I asked if I could take it for free, and she said no, and she put it in the trash bin right next to the checkout.

Now I’m not blaming her since I understand that’s what she has to say since it’s her job, and I also understand the supermarket would be liable if they sold me something that caused me food poisoning. But I believe the real motivation is profits. It would be all to easy to have a law saying supermarkets are not liable for expired items if they are taken for free; but if that was the case most people would be waiting for the nearly expired items and sales would plummet. I think this is messed up, I don’t know. I have no idea about what do supermarkets do with fresh nearly expired food but I have the naive hope they at least use some for their bakery/rotisserie section.

(I took the meat out of the bin after paying for my other groceries so I did, in the end, get it for free. And it was delicious)

The other story happened while working for Well Known Retailer. I had to grab a wheelie cart/trolley or whatever they’re called, to put stock on the floor. But the only cart left was full with old merchandise. So the manager led us to where the big dumpster bins were, and said, okay help me chuck these out. And she started throwing away all these very expensive scented candles in perfect condition with no other flaw than being old. I’m talking about $30 - $50 candles. I asked if I could take some for free, and she said we weren’t allowed. I asked about buying them with a discount, and she said that was also not allowed because the items weren’t even part of the inventory anymore. So we just trashed roughly $1500 worth of merchandise. It’s just messed, those could have gone to a Salvation Army store or something instead of getting dumped (and broken in the process).

Awww nostalgia! I remember those containers, we would fight over them in my family. Funny how now they’ve disappeared and I’m not even sure what replaced them (as miscellaneous containers)

I recognize these tropes except top right, who is he?

Concealer an forget about it. Nobody will notice on that tiny photo

Yeah it’s not impressive but I think it’s stylized and it’s decent enough CG to get a pass. Pinocchio otoh, released not that long ago, that was difficult to look at.

Maybe he overspent in quality gear thinking he would be caught immediately

I guess it’s about the health insurance company CEO that got shot and has Americans talking about nothing else online

At least you’re smiling

I see I see. Awful. Thanks for all the answers

Haiii helloo I’m a bit OOTL and I don’t live in the States.

I hear this CFO got killed and that the health insurance company was exceptionally awful. But I don’t understand the time limit on anesthesia part. What time limits? What’s that about? Like “you only get anesthesia for the first day you’re hospitalized” time limits?

I didn’t recognize it immediately. I haven’t watched it in a long time. It felt familiar though, and it all clicked as soon as I read “terminator 2”.

There’s lots of things I don’t understand and one is the hype about elf on the shelf products.

This image has a similar vibe to the arson girl. Now if only that tree were on fire

Hello! That’s a very lovely formatted table with links, however, clicking on them does nothing for me whilst clicking on links otherwise in the replies does take me to the respective communities. I don’t know if it’s just me though.

Everything reminds me of him :_(
