And what do those things cost somewhere that isn’t using the dumb member card system?

You’re not getting a deal, non-catdholders are getting shafted while you pat yourself on the back and the store sells shockingly detailed data about you.

Missed the part where they said “with your local area code” huh.

They’re so close to actual understanding of how much they suck.

Pick which one to save and which one to sacrifice. Smash the sacrifice with a hammer to free the other, break them both and realize this is just so like you and every single thing you try to do starts with a half baked plan, then goes off the rails and ruins everything until you’ve nothing to do but pick up the pieces.

This really implies a level of competence and understanding among the highest levels of management that I think we all know just isn’t there.

Someone should make looking at your phone while driving illegal. Maybe even slap it with a catchy name like “distracted driving” and make the issue a whole big deal.

“Join us at the jihad rally as we assist @ICEgov in deportation efforts,”

They really don’t even see the problem do they.

That doesn’t mean making an effort to minimize harm is pointless, it just means you’ll never get it to zero. Touting that phrase all too often turns into a band-aid to excuse less-ethical choices, just because someone’s always getting screwed somewhere.

Okay but this one time I did exactly that thing I’m not supposed to and exactly what was expected happened so obviously cast iron bad?

Just because a plate stopped a bullet, doesn’t mean the plate then distributed that force evenly across it’s whole surface. The bulge on the back side of an impacted plate doesn’t form gently.

Then maybe “just use Linux” shouldn’t be the top advice for literally every computer issue presented here.

Welcome to capitalism. Infinite growth is required, and when a market is well and truly saturated the next step is cutting more and more costs.

Incidentally, Cancer also pursues a similar strategy.

I’d say this is a great time for even more advertisers to abandon that platform, but really anyone who would care about this should have left a long time ago.

“Things can always get worse” is a pretty shit justification to say things aren’t bad now.

Apple will tie themselves in knots to make it impossible to repair your tech 3rd party, and maybe even refusing to fix it if it WAS repaired 3rd party before, but I’ve never heard of them also requiring that it be destroyed and your personal information given over.

It’s honestly impressive to find out that someone is WORSE than Apple when it comes to repairing and customer rights.

Woah buddy, you’re at about a 9, we need you down at a 3.

“Dad” doesn’t know anything about web design, but he knows (presumably son) makes them, and he ballparked a number making the entirely common armature mistake of thinking it’s as easy as setting up your facebook page. He’s also not demanding anything here. Nothing about this exchange suggests that “Dad” was going to require that the work be done at the stated price. It seemed like

Maybe before you go burning bridges and obliterating a family relation, consider how much easier it is to tell “Dad’s Buddy” that while Dad was well meaning, he was way off, and Buddy is free to compare with other estimates, but $X is actually a much more reasonable value.

Honestly nationalizing it would be a bad idea. Once it’s government owned, then the 1st amendment would actually apply and banning people, including the more openly Nazi accounts than you can imagine, would probably be illegal. It would be overrun with even more heinous filth than it houses now.

It really is best for everyone that Twitter dies, and good news! Under Musk’s incredible zero-win leadership, it looks pretty inevitable!

When you remember he got his starting wealth from an apartheid emerald mine in South Africa, this behavior makes perfect sense.

Bruh… objecting to Palestinian civilians being killed in droves is not the same as defending Hamas. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations aren’t for Hamas. Get your shit straight.
