Working with office and business types all day long in a highly technical field, I will say this: people don't even bother reading when it's literally their job to read, understand and act upon something.

I'm not even going to touch the minimum of reasoning thing.

My number one reason for avoiding self checkout is that I want people to have jobs.

If fewer and fewer people use the manned cashier lines, there will be fewer manned cashier lines.

If it's busy, and I'm just grabbing a few things, sure, I'll divert to the self checkout, but if there's nobody in line, or just a few people in line, I'll avoid self checkout. I'm not going to be the reason someone lost shifts.

What? I'm not OP, but I'm pretty sure they're just stating why they don't use it.

Why are you assigning their logic to what they think of others?

So to your question, I say: they never said it was their business.

Enjoy your down votes. I'll give you and upvote just to try to equal the scales slightly. Good luck.

Super fun fact, the people who aren't idiots at the self checkout, are not notable and therefore are not noted. It's the morons who stand out.

Just like with driving. The guy in front is always too slow, and the guy behind is always going too fast. Because you don't notice when the inverse is true.

This. Entirely this.

If they had just gone "woo hoo we're on the TV thing at a concert! Woohoo" .... Like everyone expected them to, then nobody would have given a shit.

They're just people having fun at a concert.

Meanwhile, they freaked the fuck out, the guys on stage pointed it out, and everyone went full Psycho trying to figure out what was going on. And now they're in the daily dose of Internet.

GG guys. Ĝis poste

I'm hoping the Ukrainians drop a grenade on him from a drone.

The part that chaps my ass about this is.... The damage is already done. Trump can not get voted in again. He's on his second term, of two max.

So all of this shit is too little too late. You fucked up. You fucked everything up. And now you realize the guy is a piece of shit because he won't release a list of rich people who are paedophiles and rapists? A list he's very likely to be on?

This is the line?

Holy shit. Of all the terrible stuff he said he would do, and all of the terrible stuff he actually has done..... And you fucks put him in the office again.

And this is the point where you finally stop supporting him?

I think that's the only reason for this change in tune from the guy.

IMO, it's blatant and transparent.

I remember renting a game, and it was on a high density 5.25" inch floppy at a whopping 1.2MB; but or family computer only had a standard density 5.25".

So we went to the neighbors house, who was one of the first computer nerds (I'm not sure he's still alive now), who copied the game to a 3.5" high density 1.44MB disk, then we returned the rental because we couldn't play it on the 1.2 MB HD 5.25" floppy.

.... And that was the first time I was party to piracy.

I have never noted anyone's username regularly on Reddit. Unless it's because they consistently had terrible comments, then they would stand out as either a troll or an idiot; honestly, it could go either way with many of them.

Lemmy is small enough that I see some of your names daily.

Y'all better stay off my lawn.

They desperately need real users.

They have plenty of fake ones.
