Probably undiagnosed mental illness. I spent 30+ years as a round peg trying to fit in a square hole, until I realized one day that the way I like to be is fine and I should enjoy an existence that fits me.

Yup.

Hell, here in Kansas City our police force is state-governed. Our city is basically just a sugar daddy for the state.

LOL

All righty. Good talk.

Nothing more fun than people who argue for the enjoyment of hearing their own voice. Have a great day. :)

Deemed to be a glitch AFTER it became publicly known.

And a good reminder to check before confirming when using these automated systems that kinda sorta suck ass.

Another note regarding these kiosks. The establishments who use them do get reporting around people who proceed to the checkout screen and then abandon the transaction, so if you hate them and have 30 seconds for soft sabotage, it’s not the worst idea to initiate and abandon a transaction for the greater good.

Is this ACTUAL revenue?

Or is it OpenAI/Nvidia/Anthropic revenue where there’s a handshake deal for chips or something and they just swap money temporarily and PRETEND there’s revenue?

Kidding aside, if you’re using these kiosks at a restaurant, cafe, or whatever, pay attention to the confirmation screen and make sure that you weren’t upcharged for deciding not to tip. There’s been social media content about prices being changed automatically in cart when you forego the tip screen.

There should be an alert when this happens but I’m sure we all know that won’t necessarily be the case, as these people lack scruples.

Holy crap, that is the most majestic animal I have ever seen.

Hell yeah. If I had to guess, I think 2/3 of the US states will have some flavor of a ban on it in the next two years. These companies have been speed-running malicious tech while they have the opportunity, since Donald refuses to regulate it and they know that won’t last forever.

Pay particular attention to whether a ban in your state regulates loyalty clubs or not, because loyalty clubs are a back-door method of surveillance pricing too.

20 years. What a glorious grand duchess she’s become.

Hey Beef. My memory is faulty. It was three states and Seattle, Washington.

Maryland was the first, followed by Connecticut, and New Jersey, and then Seattle.

I made a video on the topic earlier this year which touched on the emerging regulation.

I, too, want to know who these masked sons of bitches are.

We’ll see if any of this amounts to something good, but four states three states and Seattle have banned some flavor of algorithmic price gouging this year, so it may be that we get some leadership from the Fed.

We’ll see.

Even better, the few provisions of the BBB intended to positively impact the poor and working class expire next year, but of course, the billionaire-friendly provisions are permanent. It’s going to get way worse, and the 2028 campaigning is going to be even more ridiculous.

The only upside in all this is that the extreme poverty has made socialists electable, and who knows, maybe two more years of ecomomic backsliding are worth it if we get enough FDR-style legislators to make lasting change.

You’re bring silly.

Nearly 40,000,000 people have already voted, myself among them.

I suggest you get off TikTok.

I wish.

I’m still angry about Obama rewarding rather than jailing the crooked bankers. I am not sure I will ever forget.

Yes! 🎉🎉🎉

Same, but unless he says something mean about Laura Loomer, he’s probably going to be allowed to live here in peace indefinitely.

It’s going to be really depressing when we probably give Democrats the presidency in two years and Fascist Fly-vio gets to remain in the US in peace.

The FISA court has existed at least since the Patriot Act came into being.

But I doubt Donald is really making people go to the FISA court for warrants or anything really, especially after the Samuel Tunick story broke. I made a video about it.

He’s just letting DHS and border patrol to act with impunity.
