  • Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card

    Jump

  • I'm really annoyed by this as well, but why do you jump from that to concluding that the government should ban it? I don't see any reason why the stores should not in principle be allowed to do it.

  • Clearly he's out of practice.

  • The shop app says my package will arrive tomorrow but it hasn't even moved from its start point in Hong Kong yet

    Jump

  • I once had a package marked as having arrived despite never moving past the "shipping label printed" stage. But the company did send me a second one, and then a week later the first one arrived too and they told me to keep it.

  • More code = more better

    Jump

  • The advantage of that last approach is that it has side effects and cannot therefore be optimized out by the compiler.

    If the US had elections during their civil war, no one else has an excuse.

    Jump

  • The USA was in no danger of losing the Civil War by that point.

  • I can think of no one I would rather see in bed with me when I wake up than Darth Vader.

  • "No eating for free allowed! You must only watch it rot on the beach!"

    Jump

  • Not really archaic - if this was valuable stuff washing up on shore, the law would still be relevant.

  • Members of the British government have been calling for strong efforts to ensure the shipping company and its insurers will pay the costs of the cleanup. Seatrade, which operates the vessel, said its insurers are fully engaged in the process, and in the meantime, volunteers are scouring the beaches, aiding in the cleanup (and possibly taking a few bananas home as a reward).

  • Capital - smbc

    Jump

  • I don't think the 1/e strategy changes just because candidates have a chance of rejecting you.

  • What's a character who was meant to be liked in a show, but who everyone ended up hating?

    Jump

  • Wesley Crusher.

  • [Combat] The SSU and Ukrainian Navy used Sea Baby naval drones to strike the Russian shadow fleet tanker Dashan in the Black Sea, causing critical damage to the vessel.

  • It doesn't look like the first explosions penetrated the hull. I suppose that the intent was to knock out the rudder but this outcome is still surprising to me.

  • Do people actually call their parents by their name (as in First-name basis)? Have you ever done that? Or witnessed someone doing that?

    Jump

  • I would often use both the title and the person's nickname, but never just the name. So, for example, "Papa Mike" but not "Mike" or "Michael". It made more sense for grandparents because I had two of each, but I did it for my parents too.

  • Who shops at small businesses?

    Jump

  • I do wonder about stores like that. According to a friend of mine who worked on the household staff of a very rich family, they did buy extremely expensive stuff in boutique stores even when much cheaper alternatives were almost as good (or even equally good, I suspect) but how many rich people like that are there? That same friend told me that at least some of those stores are vanity projects for that same sort of rich person - they want to own the sort of store they think is cool or cute, and they don't actually need it to turn a profit.

  • There is an old video game called Lords of Magic in which the Order faction (which is about unified effort towards the greater good) has as its top-level spell "Heroic Demise". Mechanically the spell gives one unit a big boost to all its stats, but the catch is that at the end of the battle that unit always counts as having been killed.

    I was very reluctant to use it when I was a little kid because I didn't want to kill my own units, but of course the lesson is that units will die anyway and fewer will die in total if you deliberately sacrifice some. Very thematically appropriate...

  • What little things do you do each day that are your small ways of sticking it to the man?

  • I refuse to separate out my compost.

  • Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes

    Jump

  • In the eyes of anyone who wants to elect pragmatists who don't tilt at windmills.

  • Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why people want him to humiliate Democrats by trying something doomed to failure. Hegseth can't be impeached successfully unless multiple Republicans support doing so.
