One big reason I haven’t bought frozen concentrate juice in years: sugar.

But second biggest reason: price. Last I checked, the frozen stuff was nearly the same price as the unfrozen.

It used to be the much cheaper alternative. I’m not sure what happened.

I’ve bought a lot of cables and chargers from AliExpress over the last 10 years. No issues.

Typically, what I get on there is either low cost accessories that are fine to be generic or they are highly unique items that I can’t find anywhere else (usually very specific replacement parts).

In either case, I always take the approach of “would I feel like I got screwed if this item doesn’t work out well?” And the answer is usually no because it’s like $2-5.

If the price is higher and I have concerns about the quality, I head over to Amazon and read the reviews because the exact same item is almost certainly there as well.

The buyer protection is pretty reliable for missing, broken in transit, and/or inaccurate items. I’ve only had one case over the years where a refund was denied.

Hope that helps!

Munchausen Syndrome

I am no expert, but my guess is that people like Mr. Wannabe Rear Admiral have a similar condition to this, despite not being health-related.

Constantine. 

I know it may not have checked all the boxes for comic fans but it was a great movie with great characters and atmosphere. 

I’ve thought about this several times since its release. Apparently I’m not the only one. Keanu was asked a similar question last year but about his own catalogue and he said the same thing, he wishes there had been a sequel.

A few months after that, I think I read a sequel might be coming.

It’s free and the cops can’t stop you, like rotating cows in your mind.

This must be making the rounds since the McSweeney’s bit came out earlier this month.

Finest piece of satire I’ve seen in awhile!

That was hilarious, more so I think because I had no idea what the premise was and had to figure it out on the fly.

Instant fan. Thanks for sharing!

This just reminded me that it’s been ages since I’ve seen an OddSatisfying community make All.

I checked a few and all of them have slowed down in the last year or so. Not sure why, but I miss them.

For the international crowd, “cunt” is considered a stronger swear word here in Canada than it is in the UK. It’s not thrown around causally.

Just to show you what we think of Hoek-tuah
