I guess we’ll have to take photos of every item we pick from the shelves, so if the register attempts to charge more, or somehow misses a sale, we will have to get our phones out and say hey this was the price when i picked it. Great. Fantastic. Precisely the sort of simplicity and ease to be expected of advanced technology.

perpetual lateness means someone values their time more than they do the commitment and the time of others. period.
it’s simple enough to plan ahead. shit happens, and sometimes people are late.
perpetual lateness, though, is a statement, that individual could not give a shit what others needs and responsibilities are, and it’s a neon sign, that person cannot be depended on or trusted.
yeah, about this, a coconut is a VERY problematic symbol for a mixed race american, much less a mixed race candidate for president of the united states. i’m all about making slights and turning them on their head, but all the racists will fix on this, and the memes from their side will be overwhelming.
Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn’t want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.
The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren’t very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.
It’s information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can’t make any money at it any longer.
“angry ISP letters” followed by termination of service and inability to get new service from that ISP for that physical address no matter who attempts to sign up for new service under a different name. if your address is only serviced by one local ISP, and there’s no good alternative, then you’re fucking hosed. every other concern is a distant second to that.
What? The ICJ doesn’t even have the authority to issue warrants. What’s the ICJ gonna do? The ICJ “ordered” Israel to halt military operation only if a certain number of parameters were met, which Israel is saying they haven’t been, so are continuing the Rafah Op, lol. The ICJ is going to get someone like South Africa to go an complain to the United Nations, and any resolution will be vetoed by the United States. And Israel is goin to root out every Hamas terrorist hiding under Rafah so help them God.
After being an idiot for 15 years, and repurchasing inkjet printers with their insanely expensive inks and guaranteed to dry out, gunk up, and quit working, I went ahead and bought a Pantum laser from Amazon, it came with a full cartridge good for 1600 B&W prints, and there was a special on for another 1600 B&W cartridge for free, the whole thing printer, two cartridges $99 bucks out the door. Steal. Works like a charm. I have, and have had, no real reason to print in color, I’m not handing out presentations, and mostly the only things I actually print are Amazon return labels sometimes, but whenever I’ve needed to print I no longer worry about the print head clogging up, and it’s like freedom from bondage.
“oh here comes kolanaki, he buys a lot of wee wee pads for his wolfdog, we can tell because we just pinged his phone and smartwatch, let’s up the price by 30%, our records for the last 5 years, indicate he’s running out of wee wee pads right now, and our outside data collectors have told us he never buys them anywhere else, and should pay the premium”
