Once my narwhal stops working (haven’t updated and I’m not giving a penny to Reddit) I’ll likely never go back.
Narwhal is trash compared to Apollo by the way, I only use it for one subreddit. I wish that sub would migrate over here so I can browse using the Voyager app.
- Comment on Over 170 million fake reviews were removed from Maps and Search thanks to Google's new algorithm 2 months ago:
Just checked to see if a local pizzeria still has their fake reviews & yep, Marco Polo pizza in Myrtle beach still has fake reviews coming in. Even a few people calling them out. That’s one of the scummiest businesses in the area.
- Comment on The man who owes Nintendo $14m: Gary Bowser and gaming’s most infamous piracy case 3 months ago:
Don’t donate too much, Nintendo’s gonna take that shit.
Dude needs to move to a country without Nintendo jurisdiction and restart the GoFundMe. I’d give the dude $100. Fuck Nintendo over that.
- Comment on It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription 3 months ago:
I deleted my Prime! So many good points on this post. My last 2 purchase from Amazon took 2 weeks to get here, which is fine but prime is advertised as 2 days. Amazon prime’s TV selection is for the most part trash & finally Amazon can burn in hell. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to cancel it.
- Comment on The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending 3 months ago:
lol maybe. Meijer is such a breeze at the self checkout compared to Kroger. The memes are mostly true. Unexpected item in the bagging area half a dozen times, then the cashier has to come over and put their passcode in and override whatever happened.
- Comment on The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending 3 months ago:
Our Meijer is quite a bit further away too. If we’re out in the area already we’ll stop by and do a bigger trip. I could put up with the nonsense at Kroger if their damn prices weren’t so ridiculous. Kroger is by far the closest but they’re by far the most expensive for me anyway
- Comment on The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending 3 months ago:
Meijer is the only one that has their self checkout figured out. 2 different sections in my store with 10-12 checkout stations. So a minimum of 20 self check out stations open and they’re always open and working. They never give me the errors like Walmart and Kroger.
Walmart might have 20 checkouts as well but half aren’t working or open plus there’s 3x the people at Walmart so there’s usually a 15 minute wait.
Kroger is the worst with the errors. They might have 20 checkout stations but 5 might be open.
Going to Walmart or Kroger is always a hassle. I avoid those 2 unless I need one or two items.
Aldis and Meijer are my go to.

- Comment on Duolingo lays off 10% of contract workers, partly due to AI 4 months ago:
They’ve gone to complete shit since they’ve become a publicly traded company. Trash updates, removing the forum and comments/discussions on questions.
Money is priority over education when it’s tradable on the stock market.
Fuck them, I hope someone creates an AI based language learning app and Duolingo goes out of business. lol at their $215 stock price. It’ll be 1/20 of that in 3 years.
- Comment on US pay-TV subscriber base eroding at record pace 4 months ago:
There’s a guy on one of my FB groups who peddles those one time fee cable boxes. His an absolute legend in the group. People are probably buying those things up in cities all around the world. I only use YouTube TV for about 3 months of the year and Hulu year around otherwise I’d probably buy one.
Dude is probably going to get raided by the FBI at some point.
I hope not because fuck the cable companies, Netflix, Amazon.
Hulu’s a bro though.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 4 months ago:
Demand that our politicians to stop allowing corporations from buying up all single family housing.
Thats where I would start.
- Comment on how do i pick out a good avocado 6 months ago:
Idk how I missed this comment originally but it’s very interesting. I hated every vegetable as a kid, I still don’t like most of them but I’ll push myself to eat them. I do enjoy cucumbers, and a select others fresh vegetables. (Once they get cooked… 🤮🤮🤮)
When avacados are “good” I friggin love them. It’s literally heaven for me. Idk what the deal is but I took advice from everyone in this thread and I bought a avacado and I’ll post a little update when I try it tomorrow.
- Comment on how do i pick out a good avocado 6 months ago:
I got some pictures of an avacado I bought but it’s not letting me upload it right now. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll try the avacado I bought tomorrow as well. Disclaimer I’m in a different state so it might be a different avacado then the one I get at home. It doesn’t say on the sticker but it looks the same

- Comment on San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code 7 months ago:
Hell, under my plan $700 will at least get you a walk in closet sized living box with a mini fridge.
- Comment on San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code 7 months ago:
Yep, there’s a market for it so of course the landlords will do it. Housing and rent prices in this country just sickens me but this is some next level shit
- Comment on San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code 7 months ago:
$700 for this is insane. I get why they’re doing it but there’s no reason anyone should pay $700 for a bed.
San Francisco should build their own get that shit up to code, make it about 30 stories, have spots for restaurants, stores, retail at the bottom and make it actually affordable and for everyone. There should be no market for 700 a month 4 foot tall boxes. Greedy fucks.

If they were $3 here I would’ve given up on Avocados a looooong time ago
- Comment on how do i pick out a good avocado 7 months ago:
Definitely trying this on my next one
- Comment on how do i pick out a good avocado 7 months ago:
We only have Haas from what I’ve seen, I would love to try a different type. Once the haas go black they get very very soft for me and I assume they’re bad. Can I store them so the skin goes black but the inside stays safe to eat?
- Comment on how do i pick out a good avocado 7 months ago:
That could be my issue. We don’t have long avocados they’re all small and round. I’ll be on the lookout though
