A lot of the work they do is aimed at thwarting the business models of cyber criminals, scam sites, etc.

Their reviews are probably from the people who had a good thing going using bots to scrape PII or take advantage of free trials/free tier SaaS products but were suddenly put out of business by cloudflares captcha tools.

This seems shitty for consumers, but I think it’s not new shit - it’s just a window into the reality of exploitation we have all been living with our entire lives and it’s uncomfortable to confront that giant turd we don’t like to think about.

Retailers like maximum profit and they are going to point to supply/demand to justify it. With these digital price tags, they’re just equipped to do it more quickly and more often.

At first, I was thinking: What if I grab an item from the shelf and then it’s 20% more expensive by the time I get to checkout. Then, I realized they’re just going to claim I saw the final price on the checkout summary and should have denied the purchase at that time.

If we legislate anything, it should be the clarity around checkout/returns imo.

I do not pronounce that part of a URL. Who still does that? Why would you need to do that?

Yes, really! I thought you might find the post I’m linking above interesting. It was at the top of my feed this morning and may be relevant here.

I am curious if maybe you were witnessing people of the Boomer generation (or older GenX) discussing this because they are more likely to be consuming mainstream broadcast news?

lol

It feels like the novelty of an attempted XPOTUS assassination wore off in less than 48 hours. That’s crazy.

Nobody around me is even talking about this anymore - not at work, not on social, not at the grocery store, nowhere.

Idk if that’s due to everyone being super jaded or because it’s Trump. If it’s because it’s him, then I wonder if it’s because nobody gives a shit about him or if it’s just not surprising someone would take a shot at him or just because it’s irrelevant to his candidacy or what else.

1. It is OK not to be happy all the time.

2. It is also OK not to be the best, or even to be the worst!

3. It is OK to acknowledge your behavior or thoughts are bad and to really experience your negative behaviors and thoughts - you can regret or feel sadness about them without looking away to escapism.

Finally, even if you are the worst among your peers, at least you aren’t as bad or sad as characters of old fashioned tragedies and cautionary tales which are meant to give kids intuitive understanding of the three principles above.

Yes it does. I would venture there are alternative solutions but I can’t imagine what they are in any detail, just generally:

Maybe these trucks operate more like trains and have a designated lane where motorists do not have to encounter them?

I think it’s a great idea to require a human attendant for giant autonomous machinery.

If the company does not provide the attendant, then the public is just going to shoulder that burden.

I am NOT going to protect or respect unattended property like an autonomous truck if it runs off the road or rams my vehicle or is a risk to my own safety, for example.

I’m pretty sure I’d be offended just having to ride behind it on the freeway as it drives precisely the speed limit in all traffic conditions - can’t say for sure until I’ve experienced it though.

Barter the chair for a cooler, sit on cooler, receive cold beers.

I wonder if you could capture a high quality, multitrack recording of this emergence event to get a multidimensional audio sample from unique times/geographies where these groups emerge.

With an audio sample that could only come from this specific event every 200+ years, you could set up a program that survives your own death and triggers only when it happens again.

I’m not sure what the utility would be, but I’d watch it on Netflix for sure.

If you tear the bun, you’ve got a sandwich on your hands for sure!

Nope! It has bread on three sides, so it’s a taco.

Sandwiches only have bread on two sides.

I am always telling people this in the is-a-hotdog-a-sandwich debate, and this diagram makes it abundantly clear:

A hotdog is a taco.

Didn’t these jokers already try to overthrow their capital city, angling for a total annexation of Ukraine within the first few days of the conflict?

If Ukraine had not fought back, it’s statehood would have been history over a year ago.

I’ve tried it, and I ate the whole plate, but I wouldn’t do it again.

Raw chicken tastes like it smells, and it’s just inferior to every other sashimi - not outright repulsive, but just not as good.

I honestly don’t understand how those specialty chicken sashimi places stay in business. I guess there must be an audience for it, but I can’t imagine why.
