Being sold 'As is' - does that mean you get the bear? -- (link) - decline Dec 8, 09:09 1
- Wow, that escalated quickly. -- nm - Mop Unleashed Dec 8, 09:17
From b2: AEW vs WWE: Wrestlers constantly say that the reasons they make the move is lighter schedule, ability to book in other promotions... - Qale Dec 8, 09:03 4
- I’m talking more the fans and AEW diehards who think that these are the guys who are going to make AEW #1 - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:34

Here are The Top 20 songs for 2021 as heard on The Twenty. This was a fantastic year for music made more impressive with covid's continuance. -- (link*) - Qale Dec 8, 08:33 [spotify] 12
- Gun to my head, I couldn't hum one of them. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 08:59
- I know three of them! -- nm - Tim Dec 8, 08:45 7
  - 11 -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 08:47
  - Psst...kind of the purpose of the playlist format is so that you can listen to the rest ;-) -- nm - JD Dec 8, 08:46 5
    - I mean, if ever there was a time to listen to The Twenty (13 followers on Spotify!) it's the best of the year episode, right? -- nm - Qale Dec 8, 08:48 4
      - I didn't want to sign up for yet another music app, but I suppose I could at least get a Spotify Free account. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 08:49 3
        
        I totally get that. Just like every time Apple throws me a free trial at Apple Music I try and just can't really get it to bring me new music I like. -- nm - Qale Dec 8, 08:53 2
        
        When you post them here, I generally listen to the previews of the songs I don't know & if I like the preview I will listen to the full song elsewhere -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 08:59 1
        
        Hurray! -- nm - Qale Dec 8, 09:12

  - The number of cuts I had to make were painful. Critical darlings like Remi Wolf, SOPHIE inspired hyperpop, frickin' K. Flay even had to go. -- nm - Qale Dec 8, 08:38
- Here is the list in non-Spotify link form. - Qale Dec 8, 08:34
Why is the Fidelity office in Naples, Florida trying to call me? - ty97 Dec 8, 08:20 7
- They need a bank routing number for that retirement account you set up to buy a condo in Port St. Lucie. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 8, 08:52
- Call center, or an actual branch office? -- (edited) - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 08:22 2
  - Actual branch, it's the one my parents go to. - ty97 Dec 8, 08:25 1
    - Oh it’s not weird, honey, just preparing for your move -- nm - Mom97 Dec 8, 08:29
- they're hoping you'll initiate another transfer before the end of the year so they can endlessly delay it and cause you much anxiety -- nm - decline Dec 8, 08:21 1
  - *twitch* - ty97 Dec 8, 08:23
- They're trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:21

Xpn has spent the last week counting down the best 2,021 albums of all time, and they’re into the top 200 -- (link) - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 08:18 5
- How often does it update? -- nm - Volnelk Dec 8, 08:35 4
  - Pretty sure it’s updating in real time as they play songs from each album, but you can check the playlist to be sure. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 08:37 3
    - I see on the side that they are playing only one song until they get to the top 100. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 8, 08:41 2
      - Yeah, they’ve been playing one song per album since they started last Wednesday. -- (edited) - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 08:42 1
        
        Amazing that every 311 album is in the top 184 (I assume) since they haven't been on the list yet. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 8, 08:59
OFFS. We have our snow removal companies put out salt buckets for the stairs at our villages. This is a new one. They bought them and put them out. Can you guess the problem? -- nm* - Spawn Dec 8, 08:17 20
- Update: They claim lids are going to be available "soon". Of course, it is supposed to rain tomorrow. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 09:08 2
  - My parents have had their own "two weeks" Moneypit situation going on with contractors since August, and are now told they'll have to move out - Max Dec 8, 09:11 1
    - Are they going to move in with you for 2 months? -- nm - decline Dec 8, 09:15
- Too big to lift or scoop out of. -- nm - VMan Dec 8, 08:36
- Salt Bae Grinch. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 08:34
- They are super small buckets -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 08:30
- The salt compound is only 25% kyndryl sulfide, when it should be 38% minimum? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 8, 08:23 1
  - Do not take Kyndryl if you are allergic to Kyndryl. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 08:23
- They left the lids off -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:22 3
  - Well, they bought the only available buckets... that have no lids. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 08:22 2
    - just grab some saran wrap and you can fix that problem easy peasy -- nm - decline Dec 8, 08:23 1
      - My father-in-law gave me a bucket of the stuff. Kept it in the garage. Could NOT open it when I needed it. - Volnelk Dec 8, 08:33

NY Gov primary poll: Hochul 36, James 18, Williams 10, Suozzi 6, DeBlasio 6. - Tim Dec 8, 08:10 3
- So 6% of NY residents are certifiable? Is that the takeaway here? -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 8, 08:16 2
  - Seems low. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:20
  - At least! -- nm - Tim Dec 8, 08:19
It appears Omicron is actually weaker than earlier iterations, which is great news. Iterations growing progressively weaker is key. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 08:04 2
- It makes sense that it would be more contagious but less lethal. That keeps the virus alive longer, which is kind of what all living organisms want. -- nm - Qale Dec 8, 08:42
- No confirmed deaths yet, right? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 08:10
I am not sure what you short-attention span people are talking about. I started Get Back last night and from what you said figured I would watch maybe -- (edited) - Spawn Dec 8, 07:59 11
- It's mainly dependent on your relationship to the Beatles. For Cap-F Fans it is an essential close watch. Background stuff for others. -- nm - rollo Dec 8, 08:06 10
  - and John is hilarious. (well, they all are) - mud Dec 8, 08:15
  - I look forward to the Get Backstreet deep dive in 30 years. -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 08:09 1
    - Allright -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 08:13
  - They may not even be in my top 10, but I can see that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 08:08 6
    - I just mean there have been stories about the Beatles breakup, but this documentary shows it in real time. You can see the depth of the relationship - rollo Dec 8, 08:16 1
      - Their creative process was *fascinating*. - Spawn Dec 8, 08:22
    - they're in your top 10. - mud Dec 8, 08:09 3
      - sure - decline Dec 8, 08:14
      - ... probably. They actually have a unique place in my ecosystem. They are not in my Top 10 Most Listened To These Days. - Spawn Dec 8, 08:12 1
        
        I've found this since I got a turntable. I historically haven't listened to them much but man, those are some solid albums. - Volnelk Dec 8, 08:39
Are there any Deezer users here? Any thoughts on it? -- nm - colinberry sauce Dec 8, 07:55 2

- Screw public health and safety! It's such an awful stance to take about the passports. -- nm - Krusty Dec 8, 07:51
Reminder, every day you talk about Fox News's/GOP insane stories you're helping them. They are forcing you to ignore any governing and actual news. - MDH Dec 8, 07:12 7
- Westboro hasn't disappeared. They still show up. And now it's the TikTok Gen that are heckling them. It's fabulous. -- nm - Qale Dec 8, 08:47
- oh good. more lectures on what we should or shouldn't post. - Jovian Dec 8, 07:22 3
  - Yep. And here is the only place any of us talk about anything. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 08:09
  - Everyone is free to post whatever they want, I'm just making an observation. And my concern is truly mental health/well being in these situations. -- nm - MDH Dec 8, 07:28
  - it's tiresome, isnt it. Let it go. - mud Dec 8, 07:27
- But…but…*handwaving freakoutery* -- (edited) - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 07:13 1
  - Agree with the IM. The larger one to me is caring about every little tweet someone does, that's not helpful. -- nm - MDH Dec 8, 07:18
I have several companies on my watchlist that I find interesting. One is a company which provides pet insurance. - Baron Please Come Home Dec 8, 07:09 [Attachment] 9
- Pet insurance is a scam, imo. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 07:12 8
  - It can be very useful. There are different plans and some like an accident only plan can be helpful if something happens. - Krusty Dec 8, 07:20 4
    - Except the only way for companies to make it work financially for the high-use case is to sucker enough of the low-use cases into buying their product. -- nm* - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 07:25 3
      - I mean that’s how insurance works. -- nm - spamlet Dec 8, 07:28 2
        
        If the baseline risk is high enough to ensure broad participation and avoid the self-selection problem, sure. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 07:39
        
        Beat me to it. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 8, 07:30
  - In what sense? Doesn't cover expected services or not worth the cost? -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 8, 07:16 2
    - Well, I had flood insurance that paid off when I had a flood. But my pet insurance paid squat when I got a pet. -- nm - rollo Dec 8, 08:09
    - Maybe it’s changed, but it always seemed expensive for what it purports to cover, and doesn’t actually cover as much as people expect it to - znufrii, boosted Dec 8, 07:21

  - Yep, I saw the video. Shameless people, for sure.. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 8, 08:24
- Thank you. More " rules for thee, not for me" type behavior -- nm - Pippy Dec 8, 07:07
It’s good that you’re talking about it. Only through dialogue can we find out what hurt you and how come you’re so screwed up. -- nm - Mop Unleashed Dec 8, 06:49
Have SITVers seen this? Netflix Top 10 lists. - Inigo Dec 8, 06:48 2
- You can go back to previous weeks and even download the data. Pretty slick. - Mop Unleashed Dec 8, 06:54 1
  - I couldn't believe Nielsen doesn't have a way to download their charts. That's 1990s technology. - Inigo Dec 8, 07:07
NYC: Fox News HQ Christmas Tree was set on Fire Overnight -- (link*) - budice Dec 8, 06:46 16
- This would have been funnier if Clifford the Big Tortie Cat had pushed it over. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 08:36
- Just an A+ series of tweets here -- (edited) - budice Dec 8, 07:15 1
  - heh -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:26
- Meanwhile...Fox News still a dumpster fire -- nm - Pippy Dec 8, 06:50 2
  - was straight up Russian propaganda last night. Why do we need NATO any longer? Why should we care if Russia invades Ukraine? -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 06:52 1
    - Geesh. -- nm - Pippy Dec 8, 07:06
- War on Christmas! -- nm - Mop Unleashed Dec 8, 06:48

  - "Fox & Friends" blamed the "left" and a "crime surge" for the Christmas tree fire outside the network's HQ this morning. -- (link) - budice Dec 8, 06:52 7
    - Yep. They'll run on this like fuel for a week or so. -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 07:03 5
      - Then it will come out that they paid someone to do it, so they could be outraged about it. - Pippy Dec 8, 07:08 4
        
        its Fox, they probably used extension cords rated for indoor use only outside and said "the government cant tell me what cords I can use!" -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 8, 07:39 1

    - There's a crime surge when you compare it to last year when everyone was sitting at home. -- nm - Krusty Dec 8, 06:54

- Ah, the yearly reminder that the charts are broken! - Qale Dec 8, 08:55
- I think I said this last year, but I would have never guessed the 2nd most popular Christmas song after AIWFCIY. - Tim Dec 8, 06:47 1
  - It's all because of Home Alone IMO. -- nm - MDH Dec 8, 06:53
