there was a pretty serious resurgence of it around waitforit the turn of the millennia back in 1999/2000

I know a lot of people have that perception, but it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Do you know of any studies that have looked into this?

That how I interpreted it too, but has there really been that much of an increase? The Wikipedia articles they linked doesn’t mention any increase at the turn of the century.

According to Wikipedia, Millenarianism has been around for a long time, and it sounds like the Christian “rapture” is a good example. Your post seems to imply it’s a recent thing (ie. 21st century), but maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re trying to say?

Yes and no. All Android phones run some variation of Linux actually.

At this point, that’s kind of like saying Macs run a variation of BSD. It’s technically true, but not practically useful in most cases.

They only need 2 kids for just the tickets alone to be $800/day. That’s not including hotel, transportation, food, etc. It’s easy to see how 7 days could cost them $7000.

Ajen , to aboringdystopia in My grocery store wants to know my BMI

Pretty arrogant to assume they’re different companies when you don’t even know what stores I’m talking about…

Here’s an example of a grocery chain/pharmacy company: www.kroger.com/health/pharmacy

They even have gas stations. Costco is another example, but they do a lot more than groceries (automotive work, etc). Not sure why you think one store can’t offer multiple services?

Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable “speech”.

In those examples it’s not the speech that’s illegal, there’s a real crime that the speech is part of. False advertising is a form of fraud, but if there’s no fraud involved (satire, humor, education, etc) it’s legal.

I brought up OTC drugs to help make my point that the pharmacy and grocery store are the same.

If freedom of speech only applies to “acceptable” speech, then it isn’t really freedom of speech.

The pharmacy can ring up anything from the grocery store. And you can pay for OTC drugs at the grocery checkout instead of the pharmacy checkout. It’s the same store…

The ones I’m thinking of are inside the store and owned by the same corporation.

Lots of grocery stores have pharmacies. I wonder if health data collected through the app would be protected by HIPPA…

That was humor? Must have gone over my head, I thought you were being serious.

Ajen , to greentext in Anon's grandfather has been jerkin' some chains

Not at all. I hope something good happens to you today.

Ajen , to greentext in Anon's grandfather has been jerkin' some chains

OK buddy, whatever you say.
