Fixed headline: "Price Gougers in an industry famous for Price Gouging and collaborative price-fixing seizes opportunity to Price Gouge and blame someone else"

That's a little wordy though...

Use 150mb to put a low quality version of Firefly that I used to have on a Nokia phone around 2007/2008, and the rest will be my collection of ebooks.

I've got more than 1gb of books, but I can trim down the file size by stripping formatting and saving as plain text, and there's a few series I could go without reading for a long time.

Any and every headline that begins with "Jimmy Carter, former US President" makes my stomach drop a bit. For like a decade now.

Also the weird fixation with perfectly manicured lawns with absolutely no debris and no plants touching any other plants.

They like to lay their eggs on leaves and grasses on the ground. Doesn't mix well with lawn mowers and rakes.

I used to mow my parents property, and I would leave about 1/4 acre unmowed on the side, touching the treeline. They had so many fireflies hanging around the tall grass over the summers.

This summer I moved too far to keep mowing, and they don't leave anything, and have been complaining they haven't seen any fireflies all summer.

I used to work for a company that did background checks on every employee, and supposedly couldn't hire anyone with a record over some kind of contracts.

Didn't change the fact that several of my coworkers were ex-cons.

The cruelty is the point

My sister in law had a meltdown last thanksgiving that included screaming at her husband, and storming off to her bathroom to spend the rest of the day (up until food, and then she demanded someone bring her a specific selection on a plate) in a jacuzzi tub. The whole house reverberate when it's on, it's quite annoying.

The absolutely soul-crushing, terrible, impossibly bad thing that happened?

Her husband grabbed the wrong shade of blue curtains from the closet, and she had to wait an extra 90 seconds to put them up. Legitimately don't understand how he's stayed married to her for 15 years. Apparently she's always been like this to him over the smallest bullshit.

The system is working as it was designed.

It just wasn't designed for so many idiots.

"in error"

Also known as: "Someone higher up took a bribe or inserted personal politics into a government agency and we got caught doing nothing about it. "

Imagine how much of an insecure, whiny little baby you have to be to look at a LITERAL CHILD and say "yep. I'm picking a fight with this CHILD"

Sure would be a shame if [REDACTED] happened to these board members and pigs.
