But then the restaurant would be paying for that service, not making money from it. They probably wouldn’t even be aware the data was being sold.

Uh what? Where the heck did you hear it’s bad to wear sunglasses during the day?? How would that have an effect on sleep rhythms? Do you think blind people don’t sleep, or…?

If I got an invite like this and I knew that many people were invited, I may have assumed that most of the others would show up, and therefore you may not even notice whether I showed up or not. Like, inviting 50 people is already kind of impersonal, isn’t it? Would you really have the time to interact with all 50 if they had all showed?

And really, who cares if you don’t have 50 friends? I don’t. Most people I know don’t. They might have 50 acquaintances, but keeping up that many friendships would be exhausting.

Lol restaurants don’t have time for that shit. Who would buy that kind of data from a restaurant anyway? Even if you had more than 200 applicants a month that would probably net you less than $10.

Yeah, it’s early and my brain didn’t even register “cancer research org”. When I first read the title I thought you were equating people’s need to eat with drug abuse.

Wait so according to that quote, if increased police presence in public spaces creates increased violence, the answer is… more police in public spaces? And therefore more violence… This feels insane.

Where and when was that? I’ve lived on both sides of Washington for 40 years and have never seen any “English only” signs.

Alternatively, if you really prefer the rotating menu thing you could forget the food truck and do a supper club. Typically a reservation-only, once a week or once a month thing, or whenever you have time. If you could find a small local farm to partner with, they may be able to offer you dining or cooking space in return for showing off their veggies or something.

How many hours of content are you watching every day? You don’t need all of them. And it isn’t some two year contract like cable is. You can cancel or resubscribe anytime. It would be more like if cable allowed you to split your bill into batches of channels and you could choose which ones you wanted to pay for every month.

Which pundits actually said that? Most of what I’ve read, people were saying she did pretty well. But you sure got people here believing this meme.

Unfortunately Kroger is the cheapest option where I am. I refuse to support the dumpster fire that is Walmart. Every item at Albertsons and Safeway, especially produce, is at least 50 cents more expensive than at Kroger. Too bad Trader Joe’s doesn’t offer a little more selection. You can’t even get a whole cabbage there.

Check out Scavenger’s Reign. Most original and outright weird story I’ve seen in an anime in years. And the worldbuilding is amazing.

A lot of cities have started regulating (or even outright banning) Airbnbs. Get your neighbors on board and start a dialogue with your city council members.

There’s not a lot you can do about corporations, but you can encourage other owners not to sell to shell companies.

I just couldn’t believe that after all those years living completely different and separate lives, neither of them changed their hair at all. And since the adult twins were played by the same actor, I couldn’t tell them apart aside from clothing.

What exactly do you propose the “normies” do? Is there some non-corporation making road-worthy cars? No? Let me guess, you want a family of 5 to bike 2 hours to the nearest school/park/grocery store in the snow on rural roads with no shoulder just to avoid paying a corporation? Take the nonexistent train?

I’d like to see a more recent one, since it seems the pandemic spurred a lot of the price gouging. Our minimum wage has gone up $3 since 2019.

Also, since there’s not a huge difference in Big Mac prices between states, I’m wondering if national chains are using the min wage increase in a few states to increase prices across the board, rather than just increasing prices in the states with high minimums.

They also allowed overcrowding. You could basically put a Subway right next to another Subway if you wanted. 3-4 in a single neighborhood. Corporate does not care if the franchisees make any money.

And I would disagree with OP’s definition entirely. What they describe sounds more like reputation or social standing, not honor.

If you live anywhere that has extreme temperatures, your car will last longer if you park it inside. Bonus, you don’t have to scrape the snow off and sit there idling for 10 min to warm it up in the winter.

I think that may be similar to what we have in Washington state. All employees pay something like $2 from each paycheck into the FMLA program and you can use it for maternity leave as well as other family health emergencies. It’s a state program so I don’t think the employer has to pay anything. I don’t know how many other states have programs like this but it would be nice if there was a federal one.
