Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says
  • Yep, they get no permissions except location right when I’m beside the location and they get removed immediately afterwards. And the email gets sent through the Apple hide my email. I’m sure they got more info but they gotta work for the rest.

  • Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says
  • If I eat fast food I always check their apps first for any deals. Arby’s had some decent deals a month ago (free sandwich with $3 purchase) but nothing since then and no chance I’m spending $12 for an Arby’s meal.

    McDonald’s App is a little more consistent although they’ve got rid of a lot of the good deals.

    Without the apps I wouldn’t eat at these places. It’s cheap food at nearly sit down prices.

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification
  • 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.

  • I’m sure little weasel Billy Coull is hiding out until things cool off then he’ll be back out fucking over people again. Hopefully the workers run scumbag Billy out of town if they’re not paid.

    Amazon Joins Elon Musk's SpaceX In Mission to Destroy Federal Agency Protecting Workers, Claims The Labor Board Is Unconstitutional
  • If they’re going to argue they have protected rights like a US citizen then when they break the law they can go to jail like a human. Financial crimes, 6 month time out for Amazon. Worker dies because Amazon refuses a break, 25 year timeout.

    The nerve of these fuckers.

  • Over 170 million fake reviews were removed from Maps and Search thanks to Google's new algorithm
  • 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.

  • It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription
  • 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.

  • Are there any good alternatives to concrete/asphalt
  • I hear people complain about prices of concrete but like you said it could be the wages. I just looked up concrete and it’s $5 for 80lbs. That doesn’t seem terribly expensive for 80lbs. How many bags do you think it would take to do an average driveway?

  • Are there any good alternatives to concrete/asphalt

    Why is it so expensive and is there an alternative out there that won’t break so easily especially in the winter? My state is spending like a billion dollars a year on roads that they’ll probably have to fix in 5 years, it really seems like a huge waste of money.

    Good Public transportation would fix a lot of these costs I know but what other road materials/solutions are out there?

    Thank you for the answers and for putting up with my follow up questions. I’m learning a lot!

    Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves
  • I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

    That or learn how to download and host my own content.

    Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

    Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

  • Do any Spanish speaking countries play (American) football and if so what's the best way to watch it?
  • Yeah, I know we’re a Spanish speaking country. My team doesn’t have a Spanish broadcast. There’s a few I found for college football, but we’re in off season and I was thinking they might be currently playing in other countries.

  • Do any Spanish speaking countries play (American) football and if so what's the best way to watch it?

    I’m learning Spanish, and I’m getting decent at reading it but I’m trying to immerse myself in it more since I still can’t understand it very well. so I was wondering if I could find something I really enjoy like football and watch it in Spanish. I know the NFL probably has a Spanish football channel but I like college football over the NFL and I would prefer to watch a local Spanish team play and possibly become a fan of that team and follow it.

    So if American football is played in a Spanish speaking country can I watch it online somehow and also can I have some suggestions on what team would be fun to watch?

    If not football I know they play basketball over there so I’ll take some suggestions for that as well if anyone is interested.

    Thank you!

    can someone tell me what type of blanket this is

    Edit: thank you everyone for the suggestions. I ended up getting the target one https://www.target.com/p/full-queenwashed-cotton-sateen-quilt-white-threshold-8482/-/A-81786124

    It looks very similar to mine (hope so anyway) and it looks better than the bubble wrap design (can’t unsee it now thx for that by the way)

    Appreciate all of you, I was googling forever before I made this post, your suggestions helped me so much

    Can someone tell me what type of blanket this is or show me a similar online to buy? Mine was ruined by the washer/dryer. It’s pretty old so I’m not too upset just would like to replace it.

    It’s soft, I use it as a comforter but it might be a blanket. It doesn’t have the plastic-y feel some comforters have. I think it’s cotton but there’s no tag. Every cotton blanket I search for on Amazon has the holes/weaves in it, I don’t want that. Been to khols a couple times couldn’t find it there. It might not even be cotton idk

    how do i pick out a good avocado

    Edit: 10/23 I took a lot of advice from here, I bought an avocado yesterday and I tried it today. It was perfect! The taste was incredible. I didn’t need to salt/season it to hide anything. I am in a different state right now but when I get home I’ll buy one at home using my knowledge I now have and hopefully it’ll be perfect. Maybe I was picking out the wrong avocados & there’s nothing wrong with me. We’ll see, but I’m excited to have a good tasting avocado for the first time in a long time.

    Edit: I’m reading your replies I promise. The app I’m using is bugging out and it’s not letting me reply. I’ll log in on the browser later and reply. Thank you everyone!

    I love Avocado. When I go to the store I’ll pick out a green one that’s firm, and I’ll eat it once it starts to get slightly soft. The problem is more than 90% of the time they’re no good. They have a gross taste, almost like it’s spoiled. I can’t blame the store, I’ve tried Aldi, Walmart, Kroger, Trader Joe’s and they all have the weird gross taste. Maybe it’s the supplier, the type of avocado (hass i believe) or maybe it’s just me. By the way the only reason I try and try again is because our avocados are cheap. .65-85 cents and I get one a week. (Maybe my region is getting garbage avocados?)

    Anytime I go to a restaurant and order anything with avocado, it’s always perfection. I would rather eat a good avocado than any desert and this is coming from someone who loves desert and doesn’t eat as many fruits or vegetables as I should.

    So what should I be doing to get a good avocado from the grocery store?

    I’ve tried googling and following those directions but nothings working. Maybe Lemmy knows something Google doesn’t?

    Also I’ve tried getting them when they’re soft, firm, green, darker, I’ve put them in the fridge, I’ve tried combinations of things and nothing that I’ve notice has worked.
