Anyone know why Countdown's online shopping website is (mostly) so shit? The search bar essentially crashes the shopping session and there seems to be no way to get the evil green woolies pumpkin to pulse in your favour, apart from waiting 10 minutes and trying again.
I'd assume Countdown has a dedicated team maintaining/developing their ok online shopping site - are they shit at their jobs? Is their management not hooking them up with a nice new upgrade? What's the inside story? And why do I care so much to know?
On a related note, is there a word/phrase for a situation where something takes you to the brink of chucking it out/stopping using it, but you always come back to it, because when it does work, it's a totally quite good? Sounds like an abusive relationship...

Every Thanksgiving, my parents usually invite my aunts and uncles and their friends for the dinner. My siblings (6,10,13) and I (18) are never allowed to eat with the grownups, we’d have to stay in our rooms until the grownups either leave or go to sleep if they’re staying over. We’d get the leftovers and tbh it’s kinda boring
One of my friend’s from high school’s parents are throwing a Thanksgiving dinner. I told my friend about how Thanksgiving was at my house so she invited me to eat with her family. At first I was unsure because I didn’t want to be rude and intrude but her mom messaged me (last night) and basically said I’m more than welcomed to come
It’s quite last minute and I doubt anything is going to change. One of my aunts are coming in an hour and my mom’s already telling us to stay upstairs
WIBTA for celebrating Thanksgiving with my friend?
UPDATE: So I ended up going to my friend’s house for Thanksgiving. 12/10 experience! Ngl I was kinda nervous because I thought I was gonna be like the random person but everyone was very inviting. The talking bit before the dinner was great, the dinner was absolutely amazing, had pumpkin pie for the first time and nearly levitated when I took my first bite, the talking bit afterwards was amazing and I left. Grab 2 good plates of food for the kiddos
How did I leave the house? Walked out when I heard laughing with the adults;
How did your mom react when you came back home? I sped ran to my room; she didn’t yell at me because the guests were watching TV downstairs. She didn’t even come to my room last night
I think to make it up for my siblings, Imma probably buy them legitimately good Christmas gifts and we can vibe to some Christmas movies. Then for my 19th bday we can go to Chuck E Cheese or sum
Though I’m not gonna lie, I felt sad on the ride home? It was fun at her place but like dang, this is what ppl do EVERY year. I’m quite jealous
Also some questions I saw in the post
What do guests do with their kids and babies? No one brings their kid unless they’re older highschool students, they usually chill with my siblings and I til it’s time to eat then they eat w their moms
Do you starve the entire day? Absolutely not, before anyone comes, we make sure we have water bottles, some juice boxes or Caprisuns, some chips, maybe a ziplock bag with a sandwich or 2.
Also this year since not too many ppl came over, like 7 ppl in total, there was plenty of turkey left
This is only a Thanksgiving thing whe

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Eggs on toast. Nothing beats it after a good night’s sleep, especially if you worked hard for two days before. I munched away in a dank, formerly ratty kitchen. The stove slowly died from starvation as the splintered door bits I’d fed it were nothing but ash. I looked around as I ate. Everything had been chewed on, and not just by rats. The whole castle was filthy.
I thought back to my early days. I’d barely go near infested areas during mealtimes. It’s been a long while since then, I mused. My trust in soapy water and fire had grown considerably. And when that trust was unfounded, cure disease usually did the job. Unfortunately, not for food poisoning, but there are other potions for that. (Actually, you vomit them up before they kick in 90% of the time. They’re a scam.)
Rapid footsteps came down the hall, ending my introspection. “Someone’s at the gate!” Matti shouted as she burst through the door.
“So? I thought you had a bunch of contractors on the way.”
“Not today! I actually checked this time. I think it’s adventurers, gods’ chosen most likely!”
I shook my head in frustration. “Fuck me, last thing I need is more of those idiots breaking shit.”
I slurped the egg up and held the toast between my teeth (per tradition) as I ran along behind her. We arrived at the main hall and I removed the toast to speak.
“I’ll talk to em, us gods’ chosen have a bit of a… language of our own.”
Matti nodded vigorously. “Okay. I’m the current big bad anyway, they might just attack me. Plus, the sun’s out for once, so I’ve got no powers outside.”
She disappeared into the shadows as I yanked on the door to make my dramatic entrance, only for it to break off the hinges and narrowly miss crushing me. After an awkwardly long pause, I determined there was nothing to do but shrug and proceed. I slipped out into the shocking lack of rain to a scene already unfolding, wolfing down the remnants of my toast all the while.
They were adventurers alright, four of them. A big guy in full plate (with no helmet for the aesthetic), a dude in robes carrying that one staff with the curve at the top and a floating gem in the middle, and a girl whose outfit paradoxically had enough fabric on it to clothe three, and

Daniel Park:
If Daniel is your favorite character, then you are probably addicted to kpop/kdramas and get way too emotionally attached to Daniel despite him being the blandest and most inconsistent protagonist. In addition to the Jiho hate comments you bust out, you also post stuff like “OMG Daniel’s fat body looks like his big body. jUsT mAKe hIm sKiNnY aLrEaDy” and “Daniel is so incorruptible, what a pure-hearted soul”. Ah yes, attacking a group of people without trying to reason with them because they are allied with a deplorable company while also conveniently leaving out the detail that this group of people rebelled against the company to save your life -> Totally incorruptible.
Vasco (Euntae Lee):
If Vasco is your favorite character, you workout every single hour to get his physique and binge watch Athlean-X, Greg Doucette, and THENX for “muscle-building tips", but then eventually just give up and resort to the One Punch Man challenge. (which you don't even follow consistently)
Zack Lee:
If Zack is your favorite character, then you are severely addicted to shonen anime. Also, you main Little Mac in smash. You keep saying shit like “WTF JUST MAKE ZACK WIN ALREADY HE HAS NEVER WON” when your dumbass clearly didn’t read the God Dog arc, where Zack beats up Scott Kwon. Whenever Zack goes blue eyes mode and sacrifices his principles to unlock an extra couple moves, you say “LETS GIVE IT UP FOR ZACK’S REDEMPTION” when it’s clearly not a redemption arc.
Jay Hong:
If Jay is your favorite character, Vanilla is your favorite ice cream flavor, you have a matching tattoo with your ex, you order Pumpkin spice at Starbucks all the time or if it's not available you don't drink coffee, and your favorite color is cardboard. Every single time a new iPhone or new MacBook comes out, you impulsively spend your money that you got from running a twitter feed for a NGO. You also fight with other Jay stans to get top comment, explaining how great Jay is even if he is not even in the chapter. You keep hoping for his backstory, but let’s be honest: it’s probably going to be as cliche as most rich family stories.
Logan Lee:
If Logan is your favorite character, you binge watch alpha m and teachingmensfashion in order to obtain tips on how to unironically become an "alpha male". You're also self-proclaimed as red-pill and MGTOW despite

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
