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.

More (faux?) moral outrage… why should I be surprised. Though I do like how you just sidestepped addressing my first sentence’s point and just spew out more Bad Things one side is doing. Bad things happen in war - surprise. It’s the reason why war’s the last resort option for getting your way.

Now try to think about why it got pushed to this point. Hint; it’s not because Israel is a mustache twirling villain. Another hint: it’s more complicated than the .ml articles paint a view of. I’ll trust the people whose job it is to understand these things rather than lemmings who get fed propaganda and pretend they have all the black/white answers.

When the child killer’s opposition have this as their main strategy, I’m a bit more sympathetic to the child killers. And the context of this conversation is dropping support for representation if they don’t have all the views that align with you. It’s not about the Israel/Palestine conflict. So please don’t try the Think of the Children crap on me - it’s not relevant to this discussion.

You’re framing the opposition as supporting genocide - either in bad faith or ignorance. No-one’s going to waste their time discussing this with you.

Enjoy never having any representation, I guess.

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

That’s interesting because the Times also just put out an article referencing Federalist professors who determined he should be disqualified. Looks like they’re playing both sides, lol.

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.
