What about the ones that come from an email address and not a phone number, and therefore can't be blocked on my phone? Will they get rid of those too?

They also use tax money to build stadiums, despite being run and owned by billionaires. Basically, they're an evil corporation. And by "basically" I mean "literally".

I can't disagree with any of that. However, like I said, there's other issues than price. I've tried a lot of the meat substitutes (because honestly, I'd love to see less animals killed) and none of them get the flavor AND texture down. Some come close to one or the other, but none hit the mark on both.

Once they get lab grown meat to have the same flavor and texture of normal meat, and the price is about the same, I'll go vegan no problem.
But none of the current vegan options have the same flavor or texture currently, and a lot of them cost more than meat does so yeah, I'm not switching any time soon.
Downvotes? Seriously? You vegans can't even acknowledge that your meat substitutes don't taste and feel like meat? This is why people shit on veganism.

Truly uplifting and not a borderline r/aboringdystopia post (unlike a lot of stuff on this sub.) I love it!

I live in western NY, so it's a ways away but do-able for a daytrip. I was really disappointed when I heard that they remodeled that whole side of the house so rhat it no longer looks like the book/movie cover.
I never understood the reasoning either - you purposefully bought the Amityville house. You knew what it was when you bought it. Why even move there if you don't want the attention? You paid a premium, I'm sure, because of the infamous nature. It's just so dumb to me.

I was out in Portland once and made a point to see all the main building featured in the show Grimm. I parked across the street in front of each. If there were cars in the driveway I simple checked out the house for a bit and then left. If there weren't, I got out and took a picture of myself in front of it from the sidewalk.
But I didn't make noise, leave a mess, or intentionally disturb anyone. At the end of the day they are still people's homes and I didn't want to be a dick. I wish more folks would act like that and not ruin things for everyone.

The last owner had to close it off from the public because people were being inconsiderate- showing up at all times of the day and night and leaving trash in the yard.
This wasn't like the folks who bought the Amityville house and then remodeled it so people would stop coming to look at it, this person had a valid reason for keeping visitors away.

Russian prisoners/criminals being returned to Russia isn't really "uplifting".

Did snyone ever think it was related to boxing the sport? Is this really a TIL? Seems more just like common knowledge.

This should have always been the case. The stigma around discussing and being transparent about wages (created entirely by predatory executives) needs to die.
