They choose between half the whole population and the whole population (very roughly as it aligns alongside exponents of 2)

Legally speaking, I think the only legally correct (very much not morally) correct thing to do is absolutely nothing whatsoever.

You might be required to call the authorities, but given that either option in theory may eventually lead to the loss of life I think you’d be most safe legally, if you didn’t touch a damn thing.

Your history is literally mostly short thoughtless insults hurled at other users.

I’d love for this to be the case, because it would imply the problem could be educated out of them.

Instead, I believe, based on a mountain of evidence being in what the actual talking points of the republicans are, that people are instead so much more focused on hurting the people they believe should be hurt, that they are willing to make ridiculous, absurd, obviously poor trade sacrifices in order to hurt those people.

I think that they basically majority feel this way, until they specifically are hurt, and then in those situations, its not like their viewpoints have changed, except that they don’t want to be hurt themselves.

To me, this is the only theory that makes sense and explains everything, like even how some marginalized people like many latin people (such as cubans) support the regime.

They believe themselves to be better than their neighbours and think their neighbours deserve pain. Only when they themselves, personally, experience that they, infact, will never be accepted as the ingroup, do they actually have a temporary change of heart.

Unfortunately, for all of these people to have that temporary change of heart, so many would be dead it wouldn’t make a difference.

This is just one of the many reasons its wasted effort to try to convert maga people, and makes much more sense to try to wake up the people with voter apathy.

They only see anything when it affects them, and you have to remember at the core of his actual beliefs, past the bullshit he says so he can sound like a semi not piece of shit human, is that he wants to hurt marginalized people.

It backfired on him a little bit too much for his liking, but many more are completely fine paying a big sacrifice to that end.

Its been happening increasingly though, and I truly fear because while you might sometimes be able to tell, on average, people arent, and the owners are therefore able to control a significant proportion of the population.

I truly believe like 30% of the population focus on making life worse for others, 20 percent want things to generally be better, and 50 percent are just blowing in the breeze with a mildly positive on average take.

If they can get that 50% to think that the common opinion is hateful and shitty, they’ll just adopt that thinking that its the path of least resistance.

I don’t know how we combat that without bot armies of our own, while fighting on their home turfs as they own these platforms.

If everyone was idealistic about every aspect of life, we’d all commit suicide very rapidly.

You might think this is super important, but to someone else, the reach of mainstream social media might be worth it for they care about an issue they feel is more important than yours that needs attention, or just straight up focus on other things.

You a vegan? You have solar panels? You buy clothes that you are absolutely 100% sure comes from fairly paid people the whole way down the line? You buy a fairphone? You using a linux pinephone? You… Its never ending.

Purity dramatics like that of your comment arent actually helpful and just demoralize people who are likely there with you 99% of the way generally.

If you wanted to know why you post was removed, you should have asked the original and try to work with them.

You clearly do not understand how reddit moderation works. Unless mods actively choose to be known, your message goes to a general queue one of any number of mods can read, respond to, and hide from the other mods. Worse still, you have no idea which mod took action, and in this case it was an auto or AI mod first.

With comments like yours, I’m sure they’ll soon be disillusioned with Lemmy too.

Turns out while other problems certainly exist, the biggest problem with social media is the social part.

Now can we stop being so mean to those poor heartless megacorp voting shareholders?

Probably get bloated from the beans

I get it.

Yup. Thats the type of chart I would call a rolling sales chart. Amazon does the same, as does Bestbuy.

Many retailers do frankly.

Waiting a week can often save you 25-30%, and the high price would have been labelled a sale just the same as the low price, so no one would be any wiser to this without tracking the price.

A term for a regular sales price that comes back at normal not specifically event related intervals.

For instance many clothing stores will just have a “sale” every 4 weeks fore the same prices as the sale 4 weeks ago.

Another example is consumer electronics. Look at any price tracker and they’ll usually follow a very loose pattern

Relevant random example of some harddrive

I hate not using that phrasing because I know I am fallible, but to many normal people, even if you know you can be wrong, you give a confident response.

If there is any chance I could be slightly incorrect I use this phrasing, but this really has meant that some people are more grating to me than others because they will think you arent confident or smart if you show any signs of being able to acknowledge your fallibility

Real consuuuuumers know that if you want an actual deal on something you plan to buy, you should wait for a rolling sale.

This has the added bonus of forcing you to think about how much you actually want to buy said thing, and also comes around pretty frequently so you don’t have to wait for any yearly events.

All time low prices are just not worth it in terms of time investment monitoring sales unless the thing is your hobby or you are really hard on cash and the purchase is a necessary one and a stretch for you, but then those purchase usually are not ones you can wait for anyways.

No. I seem like the type that would not give this store money for being shitty towards their customer base.

as i said ina previous comments, people like you would make it habit to smell bad on purpose to illict reaction, and this has made people lose actual tourney games.

This isn’t an argument against anything I said, its just throwing out insults pretending that they’re true so you dont have to have any logic to your point.

Those people would be kicked out regardless of the useless customer bashing sign.

Yet you posted the initial useless comment that does the same thing.

Every opinion to convince other people is that.

Why are you taking a gag gift so seriously?

It wouldn’t be funny if it didn’t subvert expectations by being ridiculous.

I like me a drink cloaca. A human cloaca would have been much more egalitarian. Straight, gay, lesbian, you get the same shit.

Maybe. I am weird.

That being said, there are no regular people going to these stores.
