OK I actually 100% buy that his car was the least unhinged thing about this guy. And it’s objectively hilarious now that you’ve survived the encounter.

Something I’ve noticed recently:

  1. Put things in online shopping cart
  2. Do not check out
  3. Wait a day
  4. Receive coupon for discount on things in shopping cart

I’m sure this works quite a few places, but what’s the most notable one?

Hmmmm, not sure. It’s happened a few times recently and today it was Murphy’s Naturals (non-DEET mosquito repellant). Not exactly big-ticket, and the reason I didn’t check out is because for some reason they won’t ship to my address, so it didn’t help me.

you gotta have an account and be logged in for this to work. some places will just send you a nagging “you forgot something in your cart” email but a lot of them will have a coupon.

wtf I googled to see if this was a thing and there articles from like 1997 about if the Hong Kong laundry guys would keep working after the change of power.

Still need to read more to understand the arrangement, like maybe they had just contracted with a company there so defacto the employees they provided were from Hong Kong?

Tell me you’re not sorry for Imperialism without telling me you’re not sorry for Imperialism.

LOL LAW has a chance for some partial redemption in the realtors class action suit happening in Missouri. LOL paying the other side’s agent tens of thousands of dollars for opening the front door, the entire home buying and selling process is pure rent seeking horseshit.

No, nothing will change. They will settle with no admission of fault, the lawyers will make tens of millions, and the homebuyers will get a coupon for five percent off their next realtor commission and a free 1 year subscription to zillow gold (your card will be automatically charged after the first year) or some shit.

For some unknown reason they will also throw in 2 years of free credit monitoring that the court values at $250 per year even though people can access their credit reports for free in many ways today.

Normally I would agree but the trial is already happening and the brokerages can’t afford to pay these kinds of settlements and/or verdicts nationwide.

Example: You cannot go to Dearborn in Michigan and feel safe if you are not in keeping with the Muslin costumes. They will intimidate you if they see you, and if you are a woman not dressed as muslin like the Arab population you will be called out. Dearborn has a crime rate that is higher than 83 percent of the state cities and towns of all sizes; they are bringing their unrest with them. They want Sharia law in Dearborn but so far it is not the law but it is being practiced. Remember before World War II there was a lot of Nazi organization and sympathizer in America and the USA was into Eugenics

This is infuriating because it’s true there were a lot of Nazi sympathizers in the auto industry during WWII but that was because of Henry Ford, not the Arabs. Dearborn is a normal-ass Rust Belt town with great food.
