Any shithead not paying their taxes is a problem

-someone who actually pays taxes

Looks similar to the bread I get from my pizza dough. Did you steam yours? I found the dutch oven is ideal for my lazy ass, but it limits the amount of breads I can make at once

… strain on RAM resources? What year is it?

I’m not sure why you’re being hostile towards Chapelle after finding that context. He was trying to make some sort of peace and got slighted.

And it’s everyone’s job to try to bridge divides in this climate. Would you also tell Swift to stay in her lane? How about Schwarzenegger?

Also despite her being trashy and stupid, Beobert is a representative of her district. If she’s shut out, then her constituents are shut out. And that snubbing is exactly how the maga virus started and keeps perpetuating.

Doesn’t look too much different. $13.5k median/year according to the that article.

True, but the average income / buying power has to be factored in too, right? Caveman googling gives the average Russian’s income to be $14k USD / year whereas Swedes are at $47k USD / year. Assuming more caveman math, that’d be like paying $5.23/dozen in Rubles compared to $3.60/dozen in SEK.

Of course you can’t just do these sort of comparisons exactly, because money’s always more complicated than that, but I think it gives a better context.

and if people bring it over make them take it back

Forgot to mention it in my post, but absolutely this too. People loooove pawning off junk food to friends. It’s an easy gift.

Stop buying it. That’s how we slowed down / stopped.

“Before, I used to buy eggs for 70 rubles ($0.78) a dozen. Now they cost between 130 and 140 rubles ($1.45 to $1.56)—twice as much,” Ilia Zaroubine, a 21-year-old student, said.

Near the end

I’m going to 2nd the other guy - flooding the zone with shit is already something I see often in various lemmy communities. If you think commenters will read articles and actually present proof if something’s wrong, you have a much higher expectation from the people here than they’re actually capable of. People barely/never read the actual articles. They look at the title and the vote counts and comment/vote/think accordingly.

MBFC is at least an easy way to remove the obvious bad stuff. Yea, it’s not perfect, but it’s a thousand times better than expecting the community to self-moderate legitimate sources.

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

But the increase in shoplifting appears to be limited to a few cities, rather than being truly national. […] There are some exceptions, particularly New York City, where shoplifting has spiked.

Out of the 24 cities, 17 reported decreases in shoplifting.

I’m guessing the 7 remaining cities are where the stores were closed.

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.

Agreed

I’m not ignoring it but as you said, their role is to play the lightning rod. Why on earth are people falling for the lightning rod even after knowing about it and not complaining about the venue. Every single comment here is blaming the fall-guy exactly as designed. Why should they ever change their strategy - it’s working exactly as they want.

Thanks for proving my point. Taking two seconds to think about the trigger word list I put out would lead to the conclusion that no-one would support all of them.

But yea, pop off trying to get a gotcha in. More power to you.

People like this and the ones who responded to you aren’t thinking. They see the words Ticketmaster or Corporation and immediately lose any sense of higher-level reasoning - they just start metaphorically foaming at the mouth. Other trigger words: libs/trump/edison/GMO/coal/big tech/ you get the picture

On topic to the OP -

• it’s not Ticketmaster setting these rules, it’s the venue
• they probably had the seating rule listed somewhere along the process and you just skipped over it
• you can just… not fucking go

Do you also get annoyed when something not actually cold is called cool? Or if someone doesn’t actually get to a task “in a minute”?

If literally everyone in CA was actually sick, that would have a bigger impact than late-2020 COVID. I’d prefer if language wasn’t catered to the type of person who doesn’t recognize the post title is an exaggeration to convey seriousness.

Can’t miss an opportunity to Well Acktchually. 23% really is a huge amount

That makes sense, but the targets of my first paragraph wouldn’t be the die-hards. It would be people who think they can identify fake news - but their hubris is what makes tricking them even easier. It would actually be much easier making fake accounts than making the fake YT videos.

If I was to use your analogy - it’d be like if the gunner’s level of effort to land hits or to whiff were the same. [S]he’d obviously just hit them.
