“One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, “Is it half full or half empty?” So I drank the water. No more problem.”

Ordered food from a franchise. Got an email for free fries if I fill out a survey about my experience. If I give them anything less than five stars, they want to know what went wrong, but none of the answers let me say "everything was great but the french fries were soggy." Even a four-star rating, it's basically telling me to trash the employees and food. So I had to give them a five-star rating (where the answers are nothing but 100% positivity) and then write about the fries in the write-in part where they only want me to say what I liked about my order.
Well, well, if it isn't the bridge I said I'd cross if I came to it.
My son ordered some supplies (online) for his fishing tackle business. He was tracking it since it has been several weeks with no delivery. Now, we live on the east coast of the US and he got a notification that informed him that not only did they misspell our street name, but it was confused with a word that only has the first 4 letters (out of 12) in common AND it was in South Korea. No telling if he will ever see this package.
Something's really been bugging me about the TV show Lucifer.
Okay, so the devil gets bored, leaves hell, and decides to help out the police department as a consultant. The POLICE? This is the freaking devil, for crying out loud. The father of lies, deceit, fear, chaos. Shouldn't he be like the ultimate crime boss?

That or start a bizarre religious cult intended to lure as many people as possible into hell.
His motivation for helping the police is a big part of the show, with it being that as king of hell he punished the guilty, and so helping the police find and arrest murderers and people like that is a way for him to do that on Earth.
If you've never watched it, I highly recommend it, it's a fantastic show. Tom Ellis is absolutely fantastic as the title character.
No. Sounds like he should be working for the NYPD. He might learn something about torture.
Did you hear about the church selling plots of land in heaven for $100 per square meter?
Turns out it's a site that makes fun of that sort of thing, but we've reached a point where it's all believable. There will even be people who don't know they're being made fun of who will see it and support it 100% wholeheartedly.

Are they actually taking people's money? If so that's pretty messed up.
I don't believe in heaven, but even if I did, I wouldn't think an individual church could do something like that.
See it all the time. Use to fall for some on babylonbee and cracked dot com.
And I don't invest in real estate so I missed this one.
Not a big deal since I'm not really paying attention and using it more for background noise, but there's this free over-the-air TV station called Charge that plays nothing but reruns of the same shows all day every day (Without a Trace, CSI: NY, , CSI: Miami, Law & Order: Criminal Intent). It has the oddest commercial breaks. Instead of breaking at the same time the shows had already set the break, they cut to commercial mid-scene. And then when the show comes back, you discover that the natural commercial break was only a minute away anyway. And then instead of a commercial, the show just keeps going.
Some people just don't "get" satire. Anyone remember Bonsai Kittens?
If you don't heal what hurt you, you'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.
Another Parramatta lost. Oh well. Looking forward to next year and ignoring everything (rugby league related) tomorrow.
I got a little shock yesterday. Years ago I was into genealogy and used Ancestry. Yesterday I got a notification that I had new data, so I checked it out. Turns out FindaGrave has a picture of my (empty) gravesite. Someone name undisclosed walked out to the cemetery here in this itty bitty town and took a picture of my headstone and told everyone that they were welcome to use all of the pictures they have taken. I was dumbfounded until I figured out that it must be someone who works for the cemetery. They had access to my full name, which isn't on my headstone. Looking at your grave marker gives you a sense of your mortality.
That's got to be a little unnerving.
