What was so infuriating was how, if buying, I could limit my search to a local radius, but you can't do that when selling.

I got back on Facebook just to use Marketspace and it was the worst experience I've ever had. Nothing but scams and idiots.
I don't really follow Musk, what has he accomplished?

To prove your point: the only post I've ever flagged was one of my own which I'm pretty sure was an accident click.
Re:John Locke’s recipe for Pancakes (2021) on Sunday January 30, 2022 @05:01AM (#30135496)
My pancake trick is to make very thin pancakes—not quite crepe thin but pretty close—and then have a stack of them. Layered like an actual cake. That's how my grandmother used to make them. They're so much more tasteful when they're not thick and floury.

Dominos isn't pizza.

Re:Google One on Saturday November 16, 2019 @10:26AM (#21553080)
A couple of months ago I stumbled across Google One; I thought it was a replacement for Google Drive. I got a popup chat and talked with a Google Rep, asking for clarity. The fact that it wasn't easily understandable from the site wasn't a good sign. Once I learned it was just the latest new way to upgrade Google storage, something I did not need, I ended the chat and went about my business. A few days later I received an email from the Google Play store confirming my purchase of additonal storage through Google One, something I had not requested or purchased, although somehow just being on the One site triggered that purchase. I was really taken aback because I didn't even realize Google had my purchase information. I've never purchased anything from/through Google. I had to go back to the One site, open a chat and then spend the better part of an hour trying to get the charge reversed, which is something they don't usually do.

So basically what I'm trying to say is this: Do not click through to the Google One site.

edit: I should also add that I originally had 17 GB of Google Drive storage (15 GB all users get plus an extra 2 GB for doing some Google survey or something some years ago) but after the Google One storage grift was reversed, my storage went back down to 15 GB. I guess there was a 2 GB penalty.

Can we email you?

Now if they could figure out how to keep it cold without refrigeration.

Trader Joe's has terrible produce and meat with a short shelf life. Too many times I've bought rice and boxed pasta that contain dead bugs that float to the top when boiling.

One of the features of Imzy is that you can "tip" other users. If someone creates something that you like, posts a good link, or makes a great comment, you can tip them.
