>none of the pharmacies in his city have it. >He lives in Seattle.

Stores may have it, but have it locked up or behind the counter (or just not carry it at all) my (seattle) grocery store carries hand sanitizer, but not on the shelf. You have to find an employee (good luck...) and ask them to go get it from the back/wherever. Or order the same product on Amazon for same-day delivery for the same price or cheaper :-/

I spent several weeks trying to get a dental procedure, where the dentist flat out refused treatment because my BP was high, and every subsequent rescheduling was higher and higher and higher every time. Got a note from my PCP - my dentist still wouldn't do my crown, and was insisting that my PCP do a full screening and review. My dr just gave me some xanax to take before going to the dentist, and never had a problem since. Recently moved, and just straight up asked if I can sign a waiver or something for them to not take my BP at the dentist - new dentist was like "no problem"

Chrome was bundled with so many installers. Google probably spent billions shoving Chrome into any machine they could.

I thought they were going all-in on doing it as a web app/browser experience?

I'd also point to a lack of third spaces for everyone from kids to elderly folks. Parents wait in a line of cars to drop their kids off at school, then pick them up in the same line of cars to drive them home.

Maybe replacing malls and diners with social media and fortnite isn't the best thing we could be doing.

#5 is probably the biggest reason, and the main driver for the previous 4. (housing is too damn expensive)

I do the same. got ~100 ish plain white hand towels/wash cloths that get washed with bleach. Really just used to dry my tushy after using the bidet.

People don't stay, because companies don't give raises or promotions.

It's extra frustrating because after months of not working, I'm getting rejected for "too much experience" when applying to a lower-level job, getting "not enough" experience for senior-level jobs, etc...

Have you ... ever dealt with people? This doesn't seem to be the typical reality for most.

Everyone also conveniently forgets that in many cases, Apple is only charging 15%, not 30 (small business, long-term subscriptions, etc...)

As someone in the job market right now, with 15+ years experience but no degree... This is an unfortunately very visible trend. It's Especially boggling to see a job posting wanting 10+ years of experience but still demanding you provide your GPA.

PlaceKitten(.com) is also a similar handy service.
