Biggest issues so far: Can't have a "following only" timeline and lacking an option to turn it into chronological order.

So, insta, just words.

What the fuck is Threads?

I don’t have time for all of these apps, but if you come visit me, I’ll shoot the shit with you

Those are pretty essential features, so this is a no for me, for now.

Amazing. Lawyers of Duke-Forum, please explain how much this law firm will have to pay its client for advising them in forcing their current CEO to purchase the company and become their CEO.

 

[DrKlahn]

Suing the best law firm in the world (in terms of legal talent) seems like a bad idea!

Any Prime Day deals worth looking at?

I like how I got an FB ad for Prime Day and literally nothing in the link was discounted in any way. It was basically, "Buy these things you were already looking at for full price. Prime Day!"

Yes, if you can sift through the 100,000+ items before the sale ends or they sell out of whatever you were hoping to buy.
I found some good deals on computer components.

An Airtag holder I bought yesterday was a dollar cheaper today, so I canceled and reordered. So let's just say I'm doing pretttttty well.

On that note, does anyone keep an airtag in their wallet? I've already lost two wallets this calendar year, because I'm actually the one drooling with dementia. Seems like this might possibly help my idiocy.

I do not own any, but I like that you saved yourself a dollar.

All 3 of the things I bought a few days ago are significantly discounted today, so I’m returning all of them and reordering. Shipping is faster today too.

This happened to me last year with a pretty large purchase; in that case, I just contacted the seller and asked for the difference in price back, and they quickly gave it to me.

Lots of popular everyday stuff goes on sale. I’d just search for stuff you actually would like to get right now, and see if it happens to be on sale. I wouldn’t look at every item on sale to pick out what you might want right now. Also, good idea to move everything you’re ever interested in buying but that you don’t really need into your “saved for later” list throughout the year, and then check that list on Prime Day.

Unfortunately, the brand of Bluetooth headphones I've been using for years just broke. They are not on sale. Maybe this a sign to upgrade to a better model. This will be my fourth pair in five years. They're only $40, but I may have been better off buying something nicer. Of course, if they're breaking because of my abuse then it makes sense to keep getting cheap ones. They sound surprisingly good for the money.

I go through a lot of tshirts, and Amazon Basics tshirts are no worse in quality than any other cheap multipack stuff you can get, like Hanes or whatever. I can’t really tell the difference from $40 tshirts at typical mall places. You can get them for like $5 each today.

 

[deepdarkblue]

@rome8180 other retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are also having big sales to compete with Amazon so you might want to check around.

Also, there are some interesting deals on solar panels and kits on Amazon, plus they're offering me 7% back if I use my Prime card so I'm thinking about getting that for my shop.

I rip the left armpit of every T-shirt I've ever owned. If I like them enough or they're irreplaceable, I sew them back up. Most of the time, I just buy a new one though. I should probably figure out a better method for taking my shirt off.

I was trying to imagine wtf is happening here when you disrobe, but I ended up being aroused.

I pull my arm through the sleeve first. Do you freaks pull your head through the neck and then fumble around blindly with your arms over your head or something?

The bigger issue is that I'm in between a medium and large shirt. Generally I'm wearing a medium and it's a little too tight.

 

[physicsfactor]

That’s wild. I’ve never seen anyone take off a shirt like that. Was this something you were taught or something you discovered you liked better than the traditional pull the shirt over the head method?
