Post here if you are, and your country and approximate location if you can.
Edit: I didn’t want to make the post subject pedantic and need a [serious] tag, lol.
E2: ok, looks like a local hiccup for that station. Kinda on edge, there are going to be shortages. Just don’t know when. Gas here is hitting $4/gal at some stations. Mostly close to $3.90 at the rest. We were paying $2.65 when this started.
I used to be 5’5, now I’m 5’4. Shrinkflation is real people!
I have a shortage of friends.
A shortage of shawtys?
A famine of friends?
A dearth of dudes?
A paucity of pals?
From where I stand, there shurely seems to be not much hope left…
Please go to [email protected] and feel better.
Thanks mate. Not so much personal desperation, rather the global gloom that overwhelms everybody that keep up with current events
Canada, gas prices went up 50%
Adderall (NYC, USA) still
That one I know all too well. Been that way for years.
Was having a hard time finding frozen fish the other day, but it was because the store was in the process of putting out new freezers and they were waiting to stock until the freezers were ready.

Friends and RAM. Found some good RAM on a second hand website though. Made me happy.
Not outing my geolocation though. 😅
You have friends on the internet.
The friends on the internet:
Gas is up about $1/gal in the last month or so. It was up 10 cents a day for a bit.
Rural Alberta. Not really. Prices of gas have gone up a bit, but not enough to change life. There’s enough family doctors to go around in this pocket, even if they’re questionable.
In Calgary they have water shortages, because they road-salted their water mains into oblivion. Canada in general has housing and family doctor shortages, although Calgary actually has a glut of apartments right now.

Water mains take incoming water, not drainage water. How does salting roads harm water mains?
Like, you mean that the water drains off and comes in contact with the pipe and damages it from the exterior?

Ah. Yes. Apparently this was a thing in Calgary recently.

Sodium chloride use continues on Calgary roads after likely contributing to 2024 water main break
Report suggests city’s road de-icing led to increased chloride levels in soil
Yep. They had two catastrophic failures within months of each other, the second one flooding out a bunch of people in their cars, and everybody’s just kind of praying there’s not another before they can be fixed. They’re steel wire reinforced concrete pipes, which don’t love salty ground water, and Calgary is more often than not experiencing winter and frequently icy.
Cheapest toilet paper.
It’s already begun.
I wish I could delete this comment lol.
The moment people start making this comment on the internet it will be over.
Water, ram and hard drives.
Yeah. For sure. Bought some stuff off marketplace, even used is expensive.
Gas prices are up, but I’m in California, and our gas prices are always quite high relative to the rest of the US anyway, due to additional regulatory requirements.
France: nothing here. Gas prices have increased by 30 cents, but it’s kind of expected and I try not to use the car whenever I can so it’s still fine.
