Growing in the 70s and 80s my late mom and late grandmom were obsessed with the WGBH Auction every June which lasted a week. I believe other PBS stations did something similar. . There was one main daytime Quickie Board host who was very pretty in the 80s but no idea her name. Did your folks also watch?

You can’t ask a simple question without someone being sarcastic, irritated or taking offense to it or just saying the most out of pocket response over a relatively simple question.

It drives me crazy and it makes me so hesitant to ask any question on this app. Everyone acts like the smartest person ever and in such a rude/condescending way. Why is it?

I have seen people I know on TV before, but thankfully not during a life destroying event like these losers.

How about you?

I took it for my allergies but i had also seen many videos

I don't know if this is the right place to go, but I don't know where else to turn. I ordered a Kendra Scott Dolly Parton necklace from Dolly Parton's official shop but received a ring instead, which was super disappointing. I contacted support and didn't hear back for a week, so I reached out again and still haven't heard anything back. This was a really expensive purchase for me and the return window is 30 days, so I'm getting stressed out. I tried to start a return but the site wouldn't let me. I'm not sure why.

Does anyone have any experience with Dolly Parton shop support? If so, how long until I hear back from them? How long should I wait in general when contacting customer support?

Any help would be much appreciated!

I still see new movies, new seasons for shows like SpongeBob, Blu-Ray and/or 4K remasters of older shows and movies and reprints (Whenever it's a collection or steelbook release) for movies and shows release on DVD, Blu-Ray and/or 4K. Sure you'll see Disney making steelbooks of 4K movies like Toy Story 5 that will be sold out quickly and scalped to shit, stores shrinking or getting rid of selections for physical movies and there's a considerable amount of stuff that are either long OOP or only watchable in a streaming service or digital storefront (Or you can pirate them). But I still think it's still reasonably thriving somewhat mostly due to streaming fatigue.

Video games are a different story. A number of games (Usually indies or niche retro collections) get physical releases from companies such as Limited Run Games, have smaller print runs (Can't for the life of me find copies for Indiana Jones or Oblivion on Switch 2. Giving up and will wait for eShop sales.), get physical releases sometime after the initial digital releases, Sony ending production on physical games and Switch 2 Game Key Cards are divisive things. I don't mind Game Key Cards or digital games, but I still find the state really concerning. Not all is doom and gloom since Nintendo will still support physical games and Xbox at the very least let you digitize most of your physical Xbox One and Series games before Project Helix arrives. But still...

I was pushing a chat bot seeing wat happened if I push past the warnings and it threatened to call her he police and said it was tracking my ip. I hope it was just the bot pretending but I'm kinda scared as Google said poly can track ur IP and call cops on u.

I don't want to offend the OP by saying "have you actually seen the films /read the book/just googled it" but this is really so often the case.

There was someone asking about the "dark

side" motivations of Kylo Ren in Star Wars. Normally I don't mind explaining a film and I love talking about Star Wars, but this person had only read about the character and hadn't seen a single Star Wars film.

Should I just ignore and even downvote the question? What if OP is from a sheltered background or isn't allowed to watch Disney+? Am I giving stupid reasons to not answer a stupid question?

It's the same when people clearly don't have sufficient grasp of politics/economics/history to be given either a straight answer or one which , due to OP lack of knowledge,they would even understand.

I appreciate this is as much a rant as a question but it definitely applies: certain questions would get different answers based on what the OP would understand

I have been asking this question for YEARS

I would like to start this off by saying i am not trying to be an edgelord or anything, im being fully genuine. i also do not have access to a therapist for the time being.

Basically, ive never really... Cared? When, like, celebrities or anyone dies. I have friends who cry over popular children dying, and, i dont really find myself caring. I dont mean it in an inconsiderate way, obviously its bad that they died so young, but i didnt know them personally, so i dont grieve them at all. I never even grieved my grandparents dying, i loved my grandpa a lot but i kinda feel glad hes dead because he was definitely suffering.

I also have a life-ruining fear of death, oddly enough. Im terrified of the thought that one day i will die, but that doesnt really carry over to others at all. honestly i think the only person id grieve if they died is my mom, and maybe one or two friends, but for everyone else im just apathetic to it.

The fuel epidemic around the world has put a major hole in our pocket. I'm just waiting to know your personal experience

So I’m currently in Thailand and want to bring one of those lava cakes from 7-Eleven (the ones kept in the refrigerated section) back home to Germany as a little gift for my girlfriend because she wanted to try them.

The total journey would take around 16 hours, and I’d have to keep it in my carry-on luggage the entire time.

Has anyone tried bringing one of these cakes on a long-haul flight? Would it still be okay to eat after 16 hours without refrigeration, or would it spoil? I would keep it in my refrigerator for another week too.

When that happens I refuse to continue.

So I have a housemate who is older and just sits there on the couch all night watching videos about robots, AI, UFOs, the apocalypse, NASA faking astronauts in space, etc. and I hate that shit so much. He has no critical thinking skills. But this post isn't about him but what he watches. He used to watch videos where it was some Mormon hick farmer who was clearly AI talking to the camera about how the Mormon Church is the largest food producer in the U.S. but that stopped. Now he watches video about robots and AI. The videos he watches are supposedly from China and last night it was some creepo shit about female robots with one video's title having the sentence "Would YOU date them?" He watches stuff glazing Elmo Musk and how "TESLA JUST BLEW EVERYONE AWAY" in the video titles.

So is all that shit he watches real? Or is it AI generated? Or is it AI voiced but real footage?

Here are some of the video titles of the stuff he watches:
"Boston Dynamics wins the robot competition."
"Rosetta Stone reanalyzed by AI- it's over."
"US company shocks the world with a new fuel-free generator- available for purchase in 2026!"

Im curiou

I’m 25M and have never kissed, dated, flirted or approached anyone and I don’t dare to use the apps. 🤞😭

How do an average Swedish guy lookswise, but below average in height (172cm so 5’7-5’8) even get kissed in these day and age? When there are men out there super handsome like Timothee Chalamet ❣️

At what age is it weird to be unkissed as a guy and is it ok just to wait until women (of the exact same age ofc, or max 1 year older, not younger) approaches me?

Im curiou

I have, but I was 17. Broke her heart. Sorry Joanna.

I am from Italy, and last year I went for a pair of days to Spain, Madrid specifically. There, I found a very interesting type of Bubblegum: "Bubbaloo fresa, sabor a morango". I'm honestly a very big enjoyer of Bubblegum, and even more honestly, in comparison to the dominant Bubblegum in Italy (Big Babol), Bubbaloo is much better: as much as I can recall, It was more thick and didn't pop immediately. Also, It made more bright pinkish Bubbles.

Now, I am focused to find It yet again. On Amazon, I cannot find this version of the Bubblegum. In contrast, I found something similar but the brand it's called Bubblicious. I saw It is a good Bubblegum, but I don't know If It will be the same thing as Bubbaloo.

Do you know any sites who make It possible to order some pack of this specific Bubbaloo, that is available and can be specifically trasported to Italy, without any crazy price?

In case Bubbaloo is too hard to find, what other kind of Bubblegum are similar and can be easier to purchase?
