For the first time in forever I have am amazon parcel marked as "delayed in customs" it's literally never happened before.

Also I vacuumed the house and mopped the floors... Today feels like a good day.

How does eBay allow sellers to sell an item as new if it's been opened and/or not in the original box?

New is defined as unused, or unassembled ( run in to this a lot with models and Lego) or otherwise never actually used. Mint in box is the preferred term.

Pedantic but that's how sellers go.

Plus on the whole Ebay is pretty slack and how it has not died is any guess it's a terrible site but if you like old stuff there's really nowhere else to go

I mean, in general I have had positive experiences with the site, I am very conscientious around who I buy from, and look at the product carefully. My wife buys things for her business, and several other businesses use it as a front.

So, if that's terrible...then OK. I guess terrible works for me.

What if everytime you touch a pair of trousers it turns into a dress or skirt at random, after you put it on?

Well, is it random, or is it everytime you touch them?

No the randomness is what you get it will be either item

It bugs that it's getting so hard to find stuff on Amazon that's actually sold by Amazon, and not a third party. I had a gift card, and I was looking through video games and shower curtains and every one of them I looked at was sold by someone else, and just shipped by Amazon. I always prefer whenever possible to buy stuff that is both shipped and sold by Amazon, since I figure they're probably more trustworthy than some random third party person or company.
And I also noticed that all of the games had the European ratings in the pictures for them, and I was afraid that meant I'd be ordering the European version, and I wasn't sure if they'd even work on my American PS4.

I've noticed the same lately. You often don't even have the choice to limit to "sold by Amazon" in your searches anymore.

Yeah, it bugs me that they took that option away.

I found out today about the Joker in the comics had gotten pregnant and was telling a dude at work about it and he says something like "More of that woke shit." My heart broke a little.

How the hell does the Joker get pregnant? He's, like, a dude!

Lot of TV shows and movies being advertised on Twitter again lately. Guess they think everyone has moved on from that round of Elon tweets about Jews. He made some about Black people yesterday but much like Trump's BS people are becoming acclimated to it all.

I haven't read it but he probably just did whatever Trip did in Enterprise.

That was just a suburb they really need to scale that thing up and make it a small town

IGN's latest "how to watch or play this in order" article is up and they've disabled the comment section again. I guess all the crap the readers give IGN over these sorts of articles isn't worth the extra clicks.

I've been feeling pretty meh the last week or so - physically. Like I feel totally drained and I'm sleeping a ton. My muscles are crazy fatigued and I feel almost slightly drugged - everything feels fat and swollen and slow. I wonder if maybe I've caught something but since I'm all vaxxed up it's just, like, the edge of the illness instead of a full blown covid/flu.
