Are we sure it’s not Biden that turned against them?

Grab 5 of the top engineers, sales people, and marketing at the company, double their pay, and grant them a $1,000,000,000 bonus in 5 years time if they beat certain performance metrics. Have them sit on a board as coCEOs and watch true motivation. Kick out the guy that’s demanding 3 times your annual income as “motivational” compensation.

I didn’t realize I had a constitutional right to commit fraud.

And he’s able to do so because Biden keeps providing the means.

Why did “Pp” not make it in the preview?

He also passed legislation that made it legal to kill protestors with your vehicle if they were in the road.

I really don’t think that /s is warranted that’s literally his stance on the matter.

Maybe they shouldn’t provoke everyone else in the region then.

Israel bombed an Iranian Embassy–and Iran is just expected to shrug it off? No we can’t possibly think of cutting military support to the country literally using their military to commit a genocide and attack it’s neighbors. Its neighbors might fight back and that would be bad!

Israel is behaving like the school yard bully whose “Dad is a lawyer!” except in this case their dad is also an enabler.

I’m not sure what you’re upset about in my comment.

All of the candidates have faults, but I do have a strong preference for one and one of them is an objectively better candidate on basically all issues (including the issue that all candidates share the wrong stance on).

And it very much is a toss up. 2 candidates in particular are trading leading positions on different polls. There’s probably gonna be less than half of eligible voters actually voting. And when they do, one candidate will almost definitely win the popular vote. And when they do it will once again be up to our antiquated electoral system to determine which of the candidates actually gets the seat. It’s not 1932, Trump very well could win and that’s bad.

If you think my critiques of Trump are the same as my recognition of success for Biden and that I’m somehow “both-sides-ing” I’m really not sure how to help you.

So our choices are:

• Man that wants to bomb Palestine into the ground, but has made marginal progress in helping secure more jobs domestically and has aided millions of people suffering from oppressive student loan dept
• Man who has publicly stated he wants to be a dictator, who has previously attempted a self coup, who wants to jail his political enemies, and is threatening a bloodbath if he loses–oh and he also wants to bomb Palestine into the ground.
• Man who is your conspiracy theorist uncle–who also wants to bomb Palestine into the ground.

It’s really crazy that it’s anywhere near a toss up.

Damn shame there isn’t a “don’t bomb Palestine into the ground candidate.”

They also fuck up because they aren’t designed and implemented properly.

• Walmart’s don’t accept tap to pay.
• Whole foods’ requires manual keying in of pastry items as different options (they don’t have danishes in their DB so they need to be rung up as a bagel; per the human worker that resolved the issue for me when I predictably couldn’t find the item they failed to include).
• None of them allow you to cancel the order (such as when you want to check the price of an item because the store neglected to actually list the price on the floor).
• None of them let you remove an item (such as a duplicate scan or removing a luxury item that stretches your budget or rang up higher than you were expecting).
• You can’t purchase shaving goods, alcohol, canned air, or other adult items without intervention (probably no way to actually avoid this one, but it doesn’t promote a smooth flow) and the kiosk often locks down until aided by an associate preventing you from continuing to scan your items while you wait.
• Often locks the kiosk when placing a reusable bag in the bagging area.
• Inconsistent payment methods: some allow you to scan your card at any point in the process, some process payment the moment your card is scanned, some require a manual trigger on screen prior to scanning your card.
• Often forces popups between scans (“This kiosk is in card only mode,” “Enter your loyalty card number,” or “how many bags did you use today?”)

I’d like to:

• Walk up and set down my bag
• Scan all my items
• Remove arbitrary items
• Tap my card
• If required; verify my age and have an associate clear any blocks
• Grab my stuff and leave

Instead what often happens:

• Walk up and set down my bag
• Kiosk locks because there’s an item in the bagging area
• Pickup my bag, move to a different kiosk and set my bag on the floor
• Scan my first item
• Dismiss the card only pop-up
• Dismiss the loyalty pop-up
• Scan the item again because the first scan just wakes the machine and the order doesn’t start until you dismiss 2 popups
• Put the item in my bag on the floor
• Scan the next item
• Dismiss pop-up about first item not being in the bagging area
• Take first item from my bag on the floor and set it in the bagging area
• Kiosk locks until associate clears it
• Scan a razor blade
• Kiosk locks until associate clears it
• Scan the remainder of my items
• One of them scanned twice
• Click the visible delete button next to duplicate item
• Kiosk locks until associate clears it
• Tap my card
• Realize that this unit works differently than the last one I used and click the “Finish and pay” button
• Select card as the payment type (on the kiosk in the card only queue getting run in card only mode)
• Dismiss the bags used pop-up
• Tap my card again
• Move all my items from the bagging area to the reusable bag on the floor
• Collect my receipt and goods and leave

I’m glad that you’ve consistently had a good experience with them, but I have not. While each of our experiences are anecdotal, the machines’ failure to routinely accommodate my expected use case is an engineering failure. I am a software engineer by trade and know how to interact with computers well. While we have a running joke about customers not reading what’s on their screen that’s no excuse to design an interface that cannot properly react to unexpected or unusual inputs or tasks.

Self checkouts don’t work the same across stores, don’t accept the same methods of payment across stores, require human intervention the moment anything off the happy path occurs (like not moving an item fast enough and it scans twice), provide constant interruptions during the execution of their single purpose, and are unfathomably slow and inconsistent at what they do.

They just don’t work well.

His constituents are all citizens of the United States and 67% of them disapprove of his handling of the conflict.

Then run a fucking better candidate. Biden is actively ignoring the will of his constituents. He didn’t win because he’s likeable or desired, he won because Trump generates negative voter turnout. Imagine if the DNC actually ran someone people were enthusiastic about–they might actually get a fucking landslide.

There’s gonna be a lot of innocent people that can’t afford to leave getting caught up in that scheme. I don’t think we should collectively punish a massive population because of a vocal few.

I’ve been following Relativty for a bit now. It might be up your alley.

Seems like a great way to reduce the quality of a shit tonne of schools and make sure that only the wealthy have access to quality education.

There are no downsides to this of course.

Didn’t we try the whole Dems helping Republicans thing before? And didn’t that get us into this whole-ass mess to begin with, Hillary?

Man who defied a congressional subpoena sends congressional subpoena in a small government bid to illegally impose oversight of a court he does not have jurisdiction over to interfere with the upcoming election by attempting to deprive the voters of the knowledge of the criminality of one of the candidates.

Incidentally you’re one of the reasons the majority of workers don’t want to return to the office.

Because the same people think “We ShOuLd RuN tHe CoUnTrY lIkE a BuSiNeSs.” We need to extract as much wealth and labor from its citizens until it starts to crumble then look for an acquisition.
