A part of them is touching grass, though. That part just happens to be on the inside.

AsoFiafia@lemmy.ziptoEconomics@lemmy.world•Nearly a quarter of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck, report finds
4·2 days agoSame. The majority of people I know cook at home, don’t even have a credit card let alone use one, have pretty old cars, homes and rentals that should be inexpensive, keep their same phone until it’s unusable. Pretty much every splurge they have is thanks to some amazing deal or find. And each year it gets harder and harder to save anything.
I also know a few people who regularly use food delivery services, live on pop and snack foods, refuse to learn to drive and get a cheap car making them reliant on either me(this is going to stop; I be damned tired) or Uber/Lyft(and they go to and leave from work at a very high traffic time making their rides more expensive), and they can’t seem to figure out why they don’t have any money.
I can see both sides of this coin, but if it is a two-sided coin, the first side I described is much bigger than the second.
My parents had a washer/dryer combo(LG I think?) that required internet to work at all. They just connected it when they first got it and didn’t realize connectivity was required until there was an internet outage. They promptly replaced it with separate Maytags that’s so far seem to be pretty hardy.
100%!!! Gotta feed those shareholders pockets!
Adding to this: just call around to different repair shops for the product you’re shopping for and ask them. Not only might you get some great advice, but you’ll also get an idea of who to call when you do need their services. How they respond when they know you’re not spending any money is a pretty good indicator of their true customer service.

I wear white wraparound sunglasses. Do the polarized rainbow gradient lenses help me?!? Or am I a lost cause?

43·3 days agoI’m the same way with things, but I do think you handled this poorly. When people do things like this for me, also knowing I’d prefer to keep what I have or fix it if it’s malfunctioning/broken, my response is usually something along the lines of: “Thank you! This will come in handy when I can no longer use the one I have now. I’ll keep this safe until then!”
As someone else pointed out, they probably had a very good reason for getting that for you. When my lady bought me a new cell phone and I said basically what I wrote above, her response was that while she understands my current phone works, it doesn’t always work well, and she’d like to have longer, more meaningful conversations with me while I’m out of town. I asked her what she meant, since I saw no problem with it. She said my current phone didn’t keep a charge very long and the microphone wasn’t great. I learned that she called me less often than she’d like to because she felt like having me repeat myself and having to stop my work to charge the phone while having our talks was a bother to me, so she figured this would fix both of those problems. I swapped the service to the new phone immediately. She was elated, I was happy she was happy, and honestly I have a great phone that lasted two days on a charge for over a year. I also rarely have to repeat myself now, and didn’t realize that I was, in fact, bothered having to repeat myself until I didn’t have to.
Win-win, but you’ll never know if you shut it down.






This is my take. I still see older large trucks whose standard lamps are aimed down and while they can still be a bit much when I’m driving a lower car, it’s bearable. In the newer trucks they seemed to be aimed straight out, like brights are, and are brighter than ever. And when I flash them to let them know their brights are on I get full rays of sun as an indication their brights are not on. It’s horrible.
