Batshit insane conspiracy theories are pushed to discredit all conspiracy theories with actual evidence.
Women's pants have small pockets on purpose to increase handbag sales.
Surveillance of the general public is much, much worse than people believe and the view of being considered weird and paranoid is deliberately encouraged.
100% to third one. I posit that’s how they got Luigi (knew where he was basically the entire time imo) and why the actual arrest was so weird and kind of botched
Cell Phones have become ubiquitous and required for most parts of life so that the government can track all of our movements

Uno changes the rules every few years so that people have different ideas of which "house rules" are canon. Being "the game that people argue over" keeps it in the public consciousness much better than "that game that's kind of fun to play two rounds of occasionally"
I'm actually stealing this as an explanation next time I'm at a house party and someone whips out the uno cards.
Bullshit, uno and its precursor crazy eights is hands down the best card game ever created. We even played that in big groups in jail and had a blast. The house rules thing is bullshit, agree on something beforehand and play, no stress.
I will say that anyone who doesnt play stacking draw cards is losing out on a ton of fun though.
Stacking draw cards is in the rules book, at least for uno no mercy. It says you could only stack equal to or higher.

I once left a pound of frozen ground beef from the farmers market in water but the packaging was damaged, so it was watery. I patted it dry with paper towels. Months later I bought ground beef from a store and it felt like the watered patter dry beef. I even dried it using 2 paper towels afterwards…
This is absolutely a thing with chicken. Always go for the “Air-Chilled” chicken if you can afford it.

Frustrating if true, since I've heard several people float the same conspiracy while shopping in my store, despite this not being something that we do. The price of meat (at least in Canada) has just risen to absurdities post-pandemic. I don't even buy it anymore.
There is advertisment in Netflix that is a company saying they don't do this like other companies. It is real
