This is just like Walgreens and RiteAid claiming they have to close stores due to theft, only to later admit that was a complete fabrication.
Thought this was interesting, so I tried looking for more information. Didn’t find anything other than people speculating. If you have a link or search terms I could use to find of an article of these or similar companies saying the closings were actually because of something else, I’d appreciate it.
Maybe they’re trying the AoT thing where it’s The Final Season pt1, pt2, pt3.1, pt3.2. Though yea, it’s got to be an anime original ending. No way they can cram the rest in one season.
Processed food cereal’s too expensive
Just…ignore him. He’s an attention-removed - this is what they do to stay relevant. Downvote articles/comments talking about him. Don’t give these sites traffic, stop saying his name, and stop mentioning his sites and his stupidness.
Just stop feeding the attention removed.
Yea, that’s what they talked about in the article
From what I can tell, lemmy’s on par with other social media sites (reddit, twitter, fb) wrt disinfo rates. That is to say not worse, not better, but still fucking horrible.
Makes me realize that people are just as big a driver of this bs as any state or corpo driven propaganda bot.
The people who like these games generally don’t get angry the same way you do (probably). I’ve died 30+ times to bosses before and felt disheartened. But the rush from the win makes it feel worth it.
I wonder if the farms normally have insurance for this kinda thing. “Infected flocks are normally destroyed to prevent the flu’s spread, and then the farms are decontaminated.” sounds damn expensive and ruinous to a plant.
I’ve seen similar complaints with when reading about western animation too - but the context for that was in an animation guide (The Animator’s Survival Kit). I wonder if there’ll be any attempt to consolidate/document anime animation tricks before the old farts there croak
But I am. brb, distro-hopping to hannah montana linux now
I put a link to their report in my comment - here’s another reference, go to page 8. I see nothing in the report indicating that the people listed are still working for the companies accused in the article.
No way… people who are experts in the food/health industry are involved with giving dietary advice? The horror.
Of course there isn’t a link to the reports, so I have to go looking for it. Anyway here’s the report. PDF - page 8 for the results. I spot-checked a few of them - the conflicts of interest I saw was in the form of companies sponsoring research done. …which is pretty much how the majority of research gets done I believe…
Also I see coca-cola referenced ONCE as a “possible” COI
Position in industry-sponsored conferences: Dr. Booth was selected to speak at a conference sponsored by Bayer, Coca-Cola, and Abbott, among other industry actors
yet this article seems to deem it alright to put it as the posterboy image and list it prominently among other unpopular company names. Also they have to link to their boogeyman reporting about aspartame. You can see where HN tore it apart here.
This is why I hate news nowadays. I could’ve made some good food in the past 20 minutes on a nice Saturday, but instead I wasted time finding out a guardian article was bullshit.
Relevant section in the govt report -
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons, at 4.1 million, changed little in September. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs. (See table A-8.)
A-8 seems to indicate the number of part-time jobs for economic reasons actually went down by about 100k, which seems pretty good.
Listed out like that, it’s not completely out of left field. The MAGA wing has been advocating for a few of those items on the list. It’s just bizarre that it’s being brought up as a bargaining chip /now/. You know - after obliterating the last R that worked with Dems. Like…what…?
This….sounds…reasonable…? I’m with OP - confused

No. This is the relevant section in your link -
Environmental advocates say structures will run through public lands, habitats of endangered plants and animal species like the ocelot, a spotted wild cat.
“A plan to build a wall through will bulldoze an impermeable barrier straight through the heart of that habitat. It will stop wildlife migrations dead in their tracks. It will destroy a huge amount of wildlife refuge land. And it’s a horrific step backwards for the borderlands,” Laiken Jordahl, a southwest conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity, said Wednesday afternoon.
This is no different than linking to your original source. AP isn’t claiming it’s going through the refuge. AP is stating that the environmentalists are saying it will. There’s a difference
Might’ve been because I was mean about it, lol. Bad habit of mine when I get annoyed.
I did, yes. The second link has the relevant quote from the CFO - “We’re probably – you know, maybe we cried too much last year when we were hitting numbers that were 3.5% of sales”.
Though looking at the context, it looks like he regrets the actions (specifically increased security hired) that came from that. There doesn’t seem to be anything about the link to store closures.
The actual link came from an article Shepard Pie below you provided here (Is Shoplifting Really Surging?). Apparently nationwide, shoplifting is down - except in certain cities
I’m guessing the 7 remaining cities are where the stores were closed.
