I totally forgot about Teh Klob.

Tell me who’s turn it is! Say it!

lolcow content goes back to the issue of cringe culture being popular for a long time on the internet. Its why I think no community big or small should tolerate that kind of content being posted because its pipeline to becoming 4chan.

First, that’s a great way to lose all trust your customers have in you and make them go to a different store.

You really need to visit some rural parts of my country to see how they are food deserts only served by predatory companies like Walmart. During the early 00’s it was a common story for Walmart to run local business out of the area due to being able to use economy of scale to drive down prices. Just imagine living in a town where the only place to buy food was Walmart, fast food chains, or dollar stores.

Second, I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.

I just looked it up and the Netherlands has Uber unless I have old information. You do know they use surge pricing as their business model right? Companies like Walmart look at these business models and want to transition to them because they work. Its the boil the frog slowly approach to capitalism.

On the plus side for you Americans and Canadians, maybe you can finally get rid of that habit of showing product prices excluding tax.

I am not making excuses only giving an explanation. Please consider I am not defending this in the slightest just giving information. A human worker costs less than a digital tag if they are also paid to organize the shelving and stock. Also consider the United States has taxes that changed on the county and state level. National chains don’t show taxes because you can literally drive 15 minutes and be in a different area with a different sales tax laws. These taxes can range from standard sales tax to a PIF tax that gets added based on a time window. Most of our country does not use electronic tagging and the systems used to update them are not as dynamic as you think when they do have them. This post is an excellent example of this because just think of how big Walmart is in my country. They are just now swapping over to them and only with the idea of changing their pricing model.

IT Staff: “Hey this person is leaving should we do knowledge transfer?”

People running things: “Naw IT is a waste of money and does nothing. Why would we want to waste more money to pay someone to explain how the system works?”

This conversation has happened a non zero amount of times in my life.

Shame that you missed coloring your path gold.

So rotund!

Thanks I was sort of not getting this one too but Kumikommunism gave me some context and now this makes a little more sense.

Thanks for explaining it like that to me. I think I understand it now.

Can someone spell this one out for one of your neurodivergent comrades? Like is this some sort of sarcasm about the topics they are talking about?

I like to frame my crippling ADHD, autism, and cPTSD issues as a silly names that I saw one day that just clicked with me. So my ADHD and autism make me neurospicy and my cPTSD is just spicy deja vu. People have used the romanticization argument along with me just doing it for clout when I label them as such. Jokes on them since I am 39 and never dated and don’t have social media outside of hexbear. I feel like I humanize something when I don’t use medical language and embrace what makes me CoolYori.

EDIT: Perhaps I should use the chance when this happens and say that I am aroace and that makes me partly aromantic? Gods I needed to make this joke for people in the future.

Real “No, we have Bluey at home” vibes for sure! Gods you make me laugh just thinking of it.

Hey me too! It’s amazing how many people I am finding out have the same things I seem to be struggling with.

Also bump for a trans comrade from another trans comrade. If I had not lost my job I would help contribute. All I have is my love for a fellow person in need.

If you are looking for an action anime it’s not too bad. It’s not as good as the source material or FMA 2003 by far to me at least.

EDIT: it’s because FMA:B is a show about humans vs monsters vs gods and that is about it. There is nothing more than the action of that interplay. FMA 2003 asks a question of each person in the show. “What does it mean to be human?” It even asks this question of the homunculus. It’s what makes it the deeper show to me full of nuance. Plus it has one of the best duets made in anime history. I can’t read those lyrics without crying.

Looks like I have something to talk about in group therapy today

My insurance provider site tells me I can go to a Target clinic and still be covered by them.

Christians do and they justify it using end times prophecy.

EDIT: Just saw this is the Canada com! Like are there many super religious evangelicals up there?
