She's gotta keep the money flowing so she can keep her refrigerator on and make sure all that delicious ice cream doesn't melt and go to waste.

Hilary Clinton's agents have struck. They swapped out the potion of focus and clarity, with a drowsy and befuddled potion.

It's her time everyone. hillgasm

NYT, such a land of contrasts. Some really good investigation pieces that expose heinous shit. And then everything else they produce being completely lib pilled or outright conservative. And then they have the 5 letter word game that they basically took out back and murdered when they bought it. They also have a crossword puzzle that is useful for exposing sickos around you.

Ah yes the troubles of the landlord are so difficult! How are they supposed to do due diligence to make sure the real estate agent is actually a real one and not a scammer working to convert their home into a grow op? Actually have people check on the property??? Do the barest minimum of work for the not insubstantial amount of rent they collect? Nah too hard for these lazy sacks of crap. Better complain to the news about how they were ruined (I doubt it).

A fellow AMCA enjoyer huh? Always good to see more of us out there.

It's only a real true invasion if it occurs on the Ukrainian plains, otherwise it's just a little sparkling invasion.

Only if you have access to your keys. If you throw the keys away or give them to someone else then you're good. At least in my jurisdiction, might be different in other places.

It's like people who want help shopping at the grocery store. A robot is basically useless. My average interaction:

"Do you have this thing?"

Is it a food thing or a non food thing?

"It's a bin, for food"

Okay, you want a big bin or a little one, disposable or resuable? Made of glass or plastic? Aisle 2.

"It's food, I can't eat plastics or glass." Okay... You want beans maybe?

"Yes yes beans that's what I said"

Okay aisle 5, right hand side halfway down.

Customers frequently don't know what they want, or even how to say it. So I spent 5 minutes looking for a Greek spice ziitar when they were looking for an arabic/north Africa spice Zaatar that is in the world food section.

Imagine a robot trying to decipher this, especially when many people have accents as well, or they just show you a picture of a thing. I can work it out, it takes a little to time. The robot would also be useless because our store carries like millions of things and has at one point carries most things but it's a luck of the draw if we currently carry something. So ask a robot, do you carry tahini sauce? Yes we do, we currently have 0 at negative 1 dollar located in section not found. Because that's all the computer is going to say for like 90% of the tahini stuff we carry since we've switched brands a dozen times and they all are still stores there even though we haven't carried many for over a decade.

Yeah but now he has merchandise... So everything he does is just a promotion to sell more of the crap that makes him money. Like his shitty chocolate bars that sell for three times the price of a Nestle or Cadbury chocolate bar. Chocolate is like the ultimate sin food. It's bad for you if you eat it, and the production of it was likely bad for everyone involved, and the money goes to ghouls who just want more money.

I had a cousin's know it all husband throw this in my face when I explained why I still masked at work.

I responded that the Nordic country that implemented no measures and simply let covid rip through them (maybe it was Sweden??) has simply seen more deaths than its European neighbours who did mask and quarantined and such. So the idea of immunity debt by failing to catch a disease isn't really panning out in reality.

Of course now we see people regularly catching covid like 2 or 3 times a year, and every study just keeps getting bleaker about what that's doing to a body with each infection.

I'll take my mask off when I'm dead.

It's also incredibly ageist. My old body cannot withstand the centripetal force of spinning that fast. You'll turn my brain into jelly and break my hip!
