That makes sense, but it’s also incredibly unappealing.

I work retail in the US. It’s not just some meaningless “policy”; it’s drilled into us that we shouldn’t obstruct a suspected shoplifter, confront them, or even politely ask if they have a receipt. People who try to intervene are putting themselves and others at a bigger risk than they realize. What she did was a MAJOR no-no.

Companies have decided that the loss of profits from shoplifting is negligible compared to the risk of a lawsuit or worker’s comp due to an injury. Plus, for all I know, the shoplifter has a weapon and/or untreated mental disorders. I am neither qualified nor paid to deal with that.

I’ve seen pictures of data centers with parking lots full of cars. Are they going to ferry people to and from work each shift?

If she made a decision this poor and reckless, I think it’s safe to assume that she has made other terrible decisions in the past and would make more in the future. I’d like to know how her coworkers feel about the situation.

So… it’s the most realistic dating sim ever?

iPad. It works, and it’s convenient. If people love or hate certain OSs, that’s fine.

For some reason, I assumed it would at least be made of some kind of metal. I should have known better lol

This warms my heart

They don’t care

“American companies need access to all those impressionable, developing minds.”

A Somali referee, who was set to become the first person from his country to officiate at a World Cup, has been denied access to the US and will not work at the tournament.

Fear not. He will officiate at a future World Cup regardless. I’m glad it won’t be at such a shitty World Cup, and he won’t have to endure questions about America and Trump every time his history-making accomplishment is brought up. At this point, I hope he refuses even if his “status” magically changes.

I think it’s safe to say that AI hate is indeed popular irl, we just don’t have frequent conversations about it.

Personally, I think AI may have potential (hey, I’m a sci-fi fan), but we are going about it in the least honest, ethical, and sustainable way possible. I DO NOT want the current generation of AI “entrepreneurs” to have ANY influence over real AI, if we ever even develop it at all.

I hope that Bezos and the like are remembered like those carnival hucksters who built absurd flying contraptions that didn’t work. When the Wright brothers came along, everyone promptly forgot their names.

“Why are you putting measurement markings on that dildo?”

“Uh… don’t worry about it.”

For those of us who go by Fahrenheit, 50 C is 122 F! Damn!

Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one

I was never a big fan of Seinfeld, and didn’t know this.

This impacts management more than workers (of course, it still impacts workers, but not nearly as much). Therefore, I don’t care.

I can’t help but wonder how you noticed this

It’s easy (and encouraged!) to dunk on Trump for all the human rights abuses and excessive use of lethal force, but the amount of “soft power” he’s given up is truly staggering. Previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, spent decades building up quiet US influence around the world, and he’s destroying it like a toddler knocking over wooden blocks.

I hate this headline. “Why are you stupid peasants whining about the destruction of the ecosystem instead of simply spending more on stopgap measures?”

Give more money to the companies that helped create this problem! That’ll fix everything!

a disingenuous prick who insists on using alt-right “debate tactics”

These people are quite possibly social media’s greatest plague.
