Totally depends on the store you’re shopping at, foremost. Then secondarily what products you’re buying.

Where I live, self checkout is usually faster but I’ll still go through a regular line periodically. Frankly though I’m just picking up groceries most of the time at this point. It’s easy and if the people grabbing you things have a touch of empathy you get fine looking produce and meats too.

Anyways, you’re right it is definitely heavily dependent on where you live. Hell some places, especially in upper middle class areas, have a lot of the detection shit turned off (like you can actively put wrong weight stuff in or bypass the scans entirely - there’s a chance you may still get flagged but it’ll let you finish the order up before someone comes to put a code in to override it).

I guess if you’re going to commit petty theft I’d suggest you buy a decent outfit from a second hand store and go to a nicer grocery store self checkout.

That cracked me up, the AI telling you it doesn’t know shit about the best croissant place is great.

I hear you, and I desperately hope I am wrong about my feelings on the matter to be honest with you. I fear I am not though.

It’s all a wiretap at this point in my head. I think it’s just a matter of how much effort and time a (probably government) entity wants to take to track people down or grab someone.

Like the NSA didn’t build a gigantic data warehouse in Utah to not fill it with a database of every person they could.

I haven’t watched South Park regularly in awhile. I should watch that it sounds like a good episode.

Jesus Christ that’s crazy. Like actually crazy not just funny crazy.

will metaphorically burn the world around them to get what they believe they deserve. Much like the current US president.

Tell me about it. I have folks who (probably) voted for Trump telling me they’re worried about the food supply … These are the consequences for our politics and for electing Trump. Himself and his admin are only doing what they said they would. Which is awful.

Well, I was making a joke. Obviously people should be careful with who they share themselves with and use their best judgment.

Also I’m sorry for whoever hurt you, I’m not going through your account history but based on this comment it sounds like maybe you had to deal with some narcissist bullshit first hand. Me too, so best of luck and hopefully it has or will get better.

Never worth it.

Worth noting, by all means have some mind blowing sex with the crazy women but don’t marry them.

Was it a clear order and idea of Hitler?

Yes.

They’re talking about the actual capitalist borgeousie though … They can go. Rich people been fucking the rest of us since forever and it’s some bullshit.

Like, if you’re working a job to earn money you’re by definition not a capitalist. It’s not about killing a ton of people but these lecherous monsters who steal our value and give us a fraction and say “you’re welcome for being exploited” have got to go.

I made a machine with the purpose of literally creating output that plausibly sounds like a human wrote it.

Now that it creates things that sound plausibly like they came from a real person it’s a problem. Now quick make something else that pretends to know it’s not human when the whole point of the damn machine is to sound human.

Tjciiktn it’s ridiculous. HMsie?$+'izhav!&(:8_! This world is so fucked

Mikes Car Wash, although it’s more like buying washes in advance to get a better price. They do have an unlimited wash subscription thing too though

I’m still mad the DNC didn’t hold a primary election when they all got together in Chicago (I think that’s where they were I could be wrong) after Biden dropped out. Would have been way better optics.

Also still think Biden could have just stayed in and won because sexism and propaganda was way more effective against Harris than another old white guy. Harris not that inspiring for voter turn out either in my opinion.

I’m in the same group. My kid is pretty young (just turning into a toddler) but I could see possibly needing to leash his ass in the future. I also would laugh my ass off if someone asked me in public if he was a stray or made some other joke about it.

Can’t take life too seriously but I get people might feel like the joke is insensitive. I suppose I also have a horrible sense of humor and what I find funny might be actually offensive to others at times so … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They’re overpriced to keep people from drinking more but also I agree with you.

Nah see my other comment. You don’t own shit on Steam. In fact the agreement specifically says you may need to use the client and be connected to the Internet in order to even play your games. Like if steam shut down tomorrow and just stopped existing it’s very possible they could legally just give you the middle finger and say sucks for you.

IANAL and there’s more to it than just the contract you have with Valve as far as the law goes but the way the contract is written you have no ownership of anything on the platform.

The Sony policy is much more shady.

It’s not.

There’s a lot more in the agreement but this is the start of the licensing part.

Did your car come with a manual you can read? I’d give it a once over if I were you, sometimes you’ll find unexpected things about your car.

Lots of people make stuff that has their last name. I mean I probably wouldn’t call someone’s child stuff normally but names get given to other conscious beings you create. What’s the difference between the monster or a child?

They seem to be mostly kind hearted folk that are about the (actual, not proverbial) filthiest humans on the planet.

Like they’re gross AF but friendly too. It’s certainly a weird subculture but I’d hang out with a juggalo over a MAGA bro any day of the week.
