I have seen so much more porn on a single night of reddit than I have the entire time I’ve been on lemmy. I feel this is just a weird psyop to scare people away from the “degenerate leftist place!”
“We have not seen any material reaction from consumers,” P&G CFO Andre Schulten said. “So that makes us feel good about our relative position.”
There it is folks. Straight from the horse’s mouth. They won’t do what’s in the best interest of humanity without “material reaction” (ie; an arsonist or maybe even something more extreme.)
Where I’m from you still have to go through someone who makes sure all of the shit in your cart is in your receipt, it adds like 30-60 seconds and it’s a single employee for six checkouts.
I know Costco and Walmart do that. The majority of normal grocery stores around me do not. That’s one reason I rarely go to Costco or Walmart. With Costco they have cashiers as well, so it seems like they don’t need to have the 2nd person. It feels like they assume customers are criminals until proven otherwise.
Criminal until proven otherwise for checking that you didn’t miss anything in your cart? That’s extreme, people do make mistakes, if you actually want to steal you can still pocket stuff, the employee likely won’t give two shits since that’s a job for a security guard like it’s always been.
If you’re paranoic about being perceived as a potential criminal that’s fine, you do you, but labeling any sort of basic control as an accusation is not cool, might as well label the presence of a security guard as such.
At Costco they have cashiers and they have your cart and verify it’s empty/everything was scanned. I’m not really sure what the 2nd check is for, other than wasting time.
If it’s all self-checkout it makes sense that they may check receipts. Where I’m at I’ve never seen the two linked. We self-checkout, then walk out, or go see a cashier, then get checked again. So when receipt checking came up I jumped to my experience there, which was alway separate from self-checkouts.
It really should be 5% off if I have to scan my own crap. Especially the way CVS et al do it. Home Depot is the only one I don't care about because they just give you a wireless scanner and let you go to town, it's honestly faster that way and mutually beneficial.
The problem is society in general. We SHOULD be getting rid of every non-rewarding job we can. But we also need to support the people that would otherwise have these jobs.
This one has always been weird for me because I was in the military before female became an incel term and we regularly referred to women as females. Female officer, female berthing, female uniform standards…
Germany was only 75 years old in 1941; for all we know it'd be some totally new country that ended up conquering everything. "Hail to Field Marshal Bing Bong Potatoman, ruler of our great glorious Zambonian Empire"
What if Hitler was the best case scenario result of time traveler interference? He bungled a lot of decisions someone like Himmler probably wouldn’t have. What if WWII is ultimately unavoidable, and every other timeline was way worse?
Maybe Hitler is actually a time traveller that pretends to be a nazi because from his timeline, the german fascist took over the world was way worse so he had to join the nazis to defeat the nazis? Maybe the Holocaust was like 10 times worse in his timeline and he intentionally did stupid decisions to reduce the kill count.
Oh you! Nice prank! You knew I'd try to drink it and filled the glass with wallpaint as a trap, eh? You got me good! Now do me a favor and call the poison hotline, you cheeky bugger!
In general, all the “use time machine to kill Hitler” ideas (in the rare cases they are not presented as just a joke) assume that it was Hitler the person and not the socioeconomic and historical conditions that resulted in the catastrophe. There were enough little Hitlers to fill that role. If you want to prevent anything beyond small details, you have your hands full of work as a time traveler.
Go back in time and try to flag down Archduke Ferdinand’s motor carriage only for the driver to get freaked out and go down the alternate route right to where Gavrilo was trying to get to the original route but was running late because another time traveler delayed him…
I’m just an ignorant Yank, but is this really a big enough issue in the shit hole states that a billboard is necessary? I can’t even believe this is real!
Same in Oregon. Never seen a “don’t rape your children” bilboard or “don’t shake a baby” bilboard. I do however see a lot of bilboards telling me how a 14 day conceived baby (fetus) has eyes, a beating heart, nails, and maybe a job with current labor laws being pushed. It’s wild how you can outright lie about that shit on a bilboard.
Growing up in Wisconsin, drunk driving was a serious issue. Especially on New Years and the Fourth of July. The joke was that every little town throughout Wisconsin always had a church and a bar. There were so many alcoholics that would spend every day at those bars. It’s a tradition that probably goes back to the idea of public houses and having bars be a central location where your community gathers. Many people take the drinking part of that too far though and so the anti-drunk driving PSAs were necessary.
