Agreed. Replacing something that creates traffic and congestion, car dependency and deaths with the same but slightly better is not much of an improvement.
Especially when we know for a fact public transportation used to be a thing in north america (where I’m assuming the other commenter is from) before the car industry bribes and acquisitions destroyed it for a larger profit.
Not related to the topic at hand but interestingly (?) I’ve gotten used to your weird “th” as 1 character. I could read the entire thing without noticing it. I wonder if others have started to do the same since the upvote ratio seems better than what I remember it being before when people always questioned the usage.
If you knew what was good for you you’d jump at the opportunity to have the non-pooped looking underpants for just $9.99/month! (predictive fart data still sold to healthcare providers).
Given the way things are going in the US, I was afraid this meant the judge thought that the penalty was too high.
I’m glad to see it’s the opposite and the judge acknowledges that on many occasions the class action members get the short end of the deal.
Edit: or maybe Disney money made it to the judge to set a precedent 😬
I get a chuckle every time people call it a “Cola drink”. In Spanish (LatAm) it means “butt drink” 👀
These are the same idiots who renamed a body of water. Nothing is off the table.
Or they could be subtracting viewers with ad blockers? It would make sense that more techie channels would be hit the hardest.
So a followup email with meeting minutes written by someone actually there…
You are right. Fuck the college students without a career yet that don’t fall into their parents insurance. Also fuck the service people that will never get meaningful coverage since management has kindly shuffled their schedules so they can’t receive fulltime benefits. They should die so the nice executives can receive a bonus! Let also ignore all the things beyond someone’s control that prevent those “simple” things from materializing. Have you considered consulting for the GOP?
Edit: nvm, post history shows a troll or complete imbecile.
There was no tech middleman taking in part of the profit while making every other part of the transaction a net negative for everyone else though. I do agree that AI might not have much to do with it though.
Or fortunately, the larger the store, the more it messes up with the local economy. The profits from local or semi local businesses can stay in the area. The profits from the large players are funneled out into accounts waiting for the next thing to invest in, sustainable or not.
In many ways Walmart is worse that target. They specifically will go to a town, annihilate its local economy and leave as soon as it becomes slightly inconvenient to their profit expectations.
Not to mention the PR on search engines trying to tell people searching that Walmart is not a net negative for tax payers when a lot of their employees are on social programs. Of they are not paying the taxes, we are. Fuck them.
Edit: relevant video that applies to many big box stores: https://youtu.be/r7-e_yhEzIw
Someone doesn’t understand that the emails are flagged after users mark them as spam enough times.
Or value, or XYZ whatever is largest.
Not to mention some environments don’t let you install anything other than what’s already on the box. Both sh and bash generally are available.
I think the point of the comment you replied to was that you will live until said ages potentially, but the quality of life in the last decade or so will be very poor. Growing up in a society where men drink a lot more than women (at least in my grand parents generation) I can tell you that you will likely also die from alcohol abuse sooner (generally heart attack or diabetes, but that last one also has genetic accelerants), but it is true that the last few years are not pretty.
Edit: when abusing alcohol heavily.
They are constructing a fisher price GOLD Tesla for trump as we speak no doubt. To be delivered in person awkwardly for some PR video Apple style.
We just need tucking trains and public transport in cities. Rural areas are under separate requirements. It’s that easy, but we’ve built cities for failure for a while now. We “send our prayers” each time a kid biking to school is run over and then complain when the number of lanes on the freeway is not expanded to accommodate the ever increasing number of cars or speed limits don’t allow for deadlier crashes because our commute from a poorly designed suburb to a poorly designed city increases by 5 minutes.
Edit: rant is not directed at you. Just frustrated with the US in general when looking at the needs of the general population.
Or built for a different market, like 90s Hondas/Nissans etc. which assumed every country was as safe as Japan when it came to car theft. Nowadays its mostly profit driven. Security is not cheap and can add it’s own set of headaches (security vs convenience).
Edit: Nissan still sucked at it from what I remember hearing of those and some kias being the main target near where we lived.
I think there was some mention of poisoning the AI crawlers or at least confusing them/requiring special handling as a possible side effect, so I stopped caring, but yes it can be somewhat of an annoyance until you remember that its basically just a contraction.
