Those rules don't apply to world leaders, I don't think.

Probably not. For one thing, everyone wants US money when it gets handed around. For another, actually arresting the President of the United states would at minimum cause a diplomatic incident. At worst it could result in an armed response from the US to recover their leader.

The sooner you accept that all politicians are going to disappoint you, the better off you'll be.

The issue is that CE has some weird cult around AOC that feels more sexual than anything else.

It's really impressive how far Google's come from being that company with the cute motto of "Don't be evil".

That isn't a compliment.

Seriously, I honestly didn't even know pro-ads people existed until some of the threads here with people shaming others for using adblockers lol.

I'm starting to suspect they aren't real people. Half of you aren't real, you're just ad bots.

Again: see what the evangelical Republicans--Christian nationalists--support, and then try telling us it's really that different from the fundamentals in Iran or Afghanistan.

Religious fundamentalism is religious fundamentalism is religious fundamentalism.

Christians do something horrible: "CHRISTIANS BAD!"

Muslims do something horrible: "CHRISTIANS BAD!"

Do you fucking hear your self?

The short version is, back in the '30's a law was passed giving politicians access to the airwaves without stations being able to pick and choose who gets on the air.

I mean, that's a fair law in the sense that a station run by the Democrats shouldn't be able to totally silence Republican voices and vice versa. However, at the same time... Shouldn't politicians be subject to the same obscenity laws they vote for and approve? If ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox can't air something, why can a politician or a PAC supporting them put something in the air waves that the station would normally be fined for airing by the FCC?

I like it because I can put my hands anywhere separately from each other... Which is nice with armrests

Playing Animal Crossing on the Wii, I rapidly noticed that I was so used to holding my hands together when I played games, I just naturally did that.

I was gonna say something by Sabaton but really, Nightfall is my choice

Only ones I really remember were a catfight between two girls, like all of a sudden they tumbled out of the lunch table going at it like something out of a movie, a kid got expelled because he busted a lunch tray over someone's head, and off school grounds a kid got arrested for going after someone with a bat. Something to do with his sister. He was stuck in the ISS room and had to be escorted everywhere until his mother pulled his bail. Next time I heard about him he was... Getting arrested again.

And LA in second. Someone wasted money to figure out the obvious.

Sorry Teen Titans cartoon fans but Nightwing and Batgirl all day. Bruce Timm is just creepy with that fetish with Batman and Batgirl.

See, now I'm remembering an issue of Nightwing's solo series from a few years ago when he tried dating someone that turned out to be a reformed sidekick to a D-list Batman villain that I wouldn't be shocked they invented for this plot line. As a joke they did a splash of him working with all of his exes and having to talk about it with them. Honestly, really funny to watch Starfire give him relationship advice.

Therein lies the fallacy. We aren't the customers. We are the product. The customers are the ones who pay for the ads.

That's a fact. And anyone who doubts that, I suggest they go browse any Fandom Wiki, your favorite game or anime for instance, and turn their ad blocker off. On mobile, they make the site practically unusable.

Which, it's worth noting that if you provide an unusable service to the people you're trying to stick around to farm ad views off of, eventually they'll get absolutely sick of it and leave. And if you bleed enough of those users, advertisers are gonna question paying you big bucks for ad space. It's actually really comparative to clear cut logging or unsustainable farming practices actually. Maximum yield, but eventually the land is worthless.

The store I work at has been using them for years. The time saves from switching over were massive. Some go missing, whether from theft or just misplacing them I couldnt say, but it doesnt happen enough to be an issue.

Oh? Question then: Are they battery powered using E-ink or what? That's my biggest point of contention with these is powering them.

Wub wub wuuub *poink*.

The point is... Even if they choose not to match the price, it's not "false advertising," and never has been. False advertising specifically would apply to an in-store price, or a price in a local ad.

Yeah, people don't seem to understand that the online price, and even a lot of online ads, aren't for the store. They're for the website. I see a Walmart ad and click it, it takes me to the product page on the website. Legally, Walmart will argue that they're only advertising an online price.

StealThisSheen posted...

A product of insanely poor corporate structure. Which is why Kmart's dead.

I mean, Kmart's demise was so swift that even though it seems obvious, it never actually occurred to me that they had a website.

Baha05 posted...

Not really considering most people dont even realize that Walmart.com has third party sellers who arent part of the price matching policy.

Oh, I know damn well that they don't know.

StealThisSheen posted...

This hasn't... Ever been true for online prices, I believe. It's commonly known and accepted that store prices may not match the online price. That's not false advertising.

It'd only be false advertising if it was, say, in a local ad.

Walmart's terms and conditions actually go as far as to say "We can't actually be sure the price you're seeing is right until you order the thing online."

https://www.walmart.com/help/article/walmart-com-terms-of-use/3b75080af40340d6bbd596f116fae5a0

Which, that's an incredibly scumbag thing to pull.

Euripides posted...

Most retailers will price-match their own website if pushed a little as well (since they know you'll just leave and order it online, which doesn't count as a sale for their location)

Yeah, Walmart's policy has always been "if we're the one's who ship and sell it, and not a third party, we'll match the online price."

You shut your bitch mouth!

Tig posted...

This is a big nothing. They can change the price whenever they want already. This just makes it easier.

Yeah, if anything, it means the price on the produce is actually right. My store the grocery people are horrendous about actually changing the price label when they update the system price.

I'm more concerned about how much of a pain in the ass this will make changing shelf layouts. But that's because I've worked there and seen so many of the home office supplied layouts not bear any connection to reality.

Mistere_Man posted...

Probably going to have to start taking time stamped photos of the price of things Incase they change before I checkout.

Honestly, if you see a worker with a printer in hand you should do that now anyway. If the store is functioning according to policy price changes are supposed to be done in the morning to "limit customer confusion" or something to that effect. But my store you'll see them getting done in the mid-afternoon.

This. It's just convenient and time efficient to use digital signs instead of the paper ones.

Yeah, working for Walmart, I changed over 500 prices today for toy clearance. It's a fuck load of paper labels, even before you count the ones that printed wrong or what have you. Now figure you do this about twice a year. Garden resets at my store into Christmas and the WHOLE department changes over. Nationally speaking, it's not an insignificant additive to the amount of waste the company produces.

Hell, I have done price changes of .01 difference. It's a complete waste of my time that I could spend doing literally anything else. And a waste of their labels. And the biggest irony is at one set of doors there's some corporate propaganda about how Walmart tries to be a green company.

Whereas a digital label, tap buttons. The biggest costs will be replacing ones morons insist on "testing" paint on in the spray paint, craft, and nail polish aisles. If you think I'm making that up, go to your local Walmart and look. Shelves will be covered in paint, and in the spray paint aisle there will be a sprayed spot on the floor that's years old. If there isn't they just remodeled the store.

This was a much more informative read on why the internet hates this guy than the reddit thread I saw.

Not that fundamental religious law isn't compatible with human rights, because I'm not arguing that point. Where has the UN called out Sharia Law specifically for that, though?

That would be a headline. For all time.

Okay, I wasn't clear, I meant that Sharia law is incompatible with Human Rights, as the UN defines human rights.

The UN's Universal Deceleration of Human Rights was called out as not taking "cultural sensitivities" into consideration. Iran specifically called it out as ""a secular understanding of the Judeo-Christian tradition", which could not be implemented by Muslims without trespassing the Islamic law."

In 1990 the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to respond to the UDHR, and honestly, if you need to "respond" to a deceleration of human rights with anything but "yes" you're already wrong, and came out with the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam. To quote:

Ann Elizabeth Mayer points to notable absences from the Cairo Declaration: provisions for democratic principles, protection for religious freedom, freedom of association and freedom of the press, as well as equality in rights and equal protection under the law. Article 24 of the Cairo declaration states that "all the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic shari'a"

; the two countries run themselves in all other aspects subject to complying with human rights.

That will never happen in Palestine. They enforce Sharia law, which is incompatible with human rights as recognized by the UN.

What in your opinion is a workable roadmap to peace between Gaza and Israel?

Glass the whole area. That's not a gimmick answer, the sides of that conflict have been fighting or disagreeing with each other longer than the island of Britain has been united under one monarch. Hell, some of that bad blood might actually date back to the Roman Empire.

You can put up whatever plans you want, but as long as there are firebrands on both sides to fuck around with the other only for them to open a can of find out with an overly violent reaction, peace is impossible. As it stands, the only way you'll get peace in that region is if there are no people in it.

Oh, no, not at all. Infinite universe means assuming we're it is arrogant as hell. But if they're like us, we'll never see them. They're unable to launch through the cloud of space junk around their planet at best or wiped themselves out at worst.

And in the same vein, if we do get visited by intelligent life and we assume they're like us, it's going to suck for Earth.

If there's anything that I'd like to know for certain before I die, is that there is actually intelligent life out there.
