Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I bought fly paper last week to get rid of some gnats. It was from amazon, not the black market. The guy lies with every breath.

You mean I didn't need to give a guy a blowjob in a back alley to get some flypaper? I'm definitely going to keep that in mind next time I give someone a blowjob in a back alley.

Need to? No. But you got to.

If you're doing back alley blowjobs, at least make sure you keep getting something useful out of it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Are you saying they aren't inherently useful? Because I'll have you know I've given many back alley blowjobs and... I forgot where I was going with this. Other than a back alley.

Also got a can of Kitchen and Bathroom Raid pesticide spray.

Walmart sells Raid flypaper. Got a strip hanging up right now because I had a party over the weekend and of course got a bunch of houseflies. The guy is off his rocker.

How is Walmart any different from the black market

How is your mom any different from the black market

Home Depot has entire aisles of pesticide and pest control products.
