I’ve never been to a Dollar General that wasn’t dirty with shite all in the aisles, merchandise waiting to be shelved. Like a Mexican flea market.


That’s about a 50/50 proposition with the DG’s in my area. I have noticed that it’s the case less and less in the last year. Maybe they are actually running enough employees per shift now so that one person doesn’t have to check everyone out while they’re cleaning and stocking the store.
I made $18.8k my first year as a teacher in 1996.

I have to say, however, that I’m not a fan of creating this specialized license plate in their names. It individualizes a common source of tragedy, death by auto accidents, inappropriately, IMO.


It’s a tragedy that these girls lost their lives, but I agree with this. It looks like Dem reps want to politicize their deaths by taking a shite on cops, specifically this one who made a horrible mistake.

If the photos are on your phone, I don’t mind giving you a quick tutorial on uploading them.

In a follow-up social-media post, Trump said that talks were continuing “at a rapid pace” with Iranian leaders. Earlier on Monday, he pushed back at critics pressing him to move more quickly toward a deal or take a harder line.

“Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end,” he posted.


There’s no way Trump is this naive. Every day that these “negotiations” go on, the more foolish he looks, imo. I certainly hope he proves me wrong.

Everything... every. single. thing. was about the bicentennial and American pride.


I was nine years old, and I also remember it that way.
“We don’t negotiate with terrorists” has been the mantra forever. Knowing that, we’ve been doing it for months.

They are NOT going to negotiate in good faith. They only understand force. Either drop mass destruction or GTFO altogether
Of course these are individual moments that some will argue aren’t really representative of the time. Well, I lived it. It was everywhere without America-hating protesters involved. Compare it to anything you’ve seen in 2026.

Are these diseases that big of an issue in CA & FL?


If the science is correct, wouldn’t a very positive byproduct be a substantial decrease in the overall mosquito population within a few mosquito generations?

Like Pettifogger, I would be a bit concerned about this being done by a tech company. If their role is merely funding while allowing biologists and other qualified scientists to actually carry out the project, I can’t see a reason to be against it.

I thought this was a thread about gold or silver bejeweled mouthpieces worn while smoking a blunt.
Murder hornets have arrived. To combat them, we will be releasing 8.7 million regular hornets in California.

Lots of downvotes but I agree. Generally they're not cheap, they're a convenience store with convenience store pricing for most things.


That’s just objectively false. If you’re buying items commonly bought at convenience stores like individual candy bars, soft drinks, cigarettes, and the like, yes, prices are comparable to convenience stores. You could argue the same about Walmart.

I asked a guy about this the other day. He said that the only thing he sees when he looks up is the Starfish Constellation

$1 aisle FTW, seriously.
Backing up a trailer.

I avoid it like the plague.
