Shoppers upset over lack of cashiers as self-checkout use soars | CBC News
I actually prefer self checkouts. It's a simple task and going grocery shopping is one of my moments of solitude in the week, I don't wanna talk to anyone that I don't have to.

1994 was a good year for cinema.
I mean this is kinda bs. We had some really good movies released this year as well.
Barbie - besides all the bitching on lemmy, it's actually a good movie
Oppenheimer - Maybe an all time classic
Spiderman Across the Multiverse - maybe one of the best superhero movies ever
Super Mario Bros - Not my type of movie but a commercial hit
Guardians of the Galaxy - Another really good superhero movie
John Wick 4 - Super fun movie
And that's just halfway through the year.
Edit: and mission impossible this year too

This is a good example of the worst kind of pseudo intellectual bs that tricks the uninformed. It's confidently wrong in so many different areas that I don't even know where to start.

‘I’ve never seen heat this bad. It’s not normal’: Italy struggles as temperature tops 40C 104F (48C 120F predicted)
Reply in thread
I mean, not as if 40C was unheard of in the Mediterranean?..
Record breaking temperatures are by definition unheard of. What the Mediterranean is experiencing is not normal by any definition.
When you pay more for a green alternative to something very much not green, you may be causing lots of bad things indirectly.
The not green versions are also costing us by costing the environment.
I mean, if a thing itself is 100% green energy\resource\process, then money you pay for it are maybe 20% green and 80% pretty much brown. So if it costs twice and you pay for that, you may be creating a demand for dirtier production just to soothe your conscience about global warming.
This makes absolutely not sense at all. You have absolutely no evidence or data to back up these numbers you made up. You've essentially made a bunch of false assumptions and then used those false assumptions to then validate your inaccurate claim.

Elon Musk supports eliminating voting rights for people without children
People forget a huge side of this as well. It's not just being financial able to have kids but physically able. More and more people now days are seeking fertility treatment and having fertility issues. According to elon, those people would not have the right to vote.

As someone who comes from a Canadian Muslim family, that's probably the thing that made me stop watching the show. It was just so over the top in terms of Muslim culture that it just seemed off. The way Islam was brought in to pretty much every discussion, no one actually talks or acts like that, at least no moderates. It's no different from people of Christian backgrounds who I am sure aren't talking about being Christian 24/7. It just felt like pandering.

I am not suggesting that we remove normal checkouts. I am just saying I like the option of having self checkout everywhere.

French ambassador is being 'held hostage at the French embassy' in Niger, says Macron
People keep blaming Russia as if Africans are somehow incapable of making their own decisions. The reality is Africans are tired of French neo colonialism. Niger is a perfect example. They were selling france uranium for $0.8/kg when the market price is $200. That's Niger's resources going to power French power plants, while the people of Niger are struggling to survive. Fuck that shit.

French government could cut off social media during unrest, says Macron
How can a modern democracy even consider doing this? I mean I am not fan of most social media but still, this sounds like something you would see in Iran or China.

Depends on the type of work. Workshops and strategy sessions are definitely better in person than online for me.

I don't know where it love but downtown is probably some of the most sought after property and desirable locations in Toronto. So you statement is most definitely not applicable to "any city".

Record breaking temperatures do not account for anything before records start. Obviously.
Firstly setting new records repeatedly for records that have existed for a 100+ years is still extremely concerning. I don't know how you think this is actually somehow a rebuttal of what I said. Additionally we have average temperature and environmental conditions going back millions of years through ice core and geologic records.
There are no numbers in my comment which should be backed up by evidence. These are an example.
80% and 20% are numbers. My point is your "example" is made up and hence meaningless. It's as meaningful as me giving you an example where all work that is dont to pay for that additional cost is done through green means.
What I’ve used is called conditional logic mostly.
What you've done is not understand how conditional logic works as your IF/THEN conditional statement is not based on reality and is speaking purely hypothetically. I agree that in your made up reality that doesn't exist, this made up condition would not be reasonable.
About the rest - I do realize that connecting money (as the universal equivalent) to energy and energy (from all sources) to pollution may be too complex for you.
Apparently the whole concept of reading may be too complex for you as you clearly seem to lack the ability to comprehend what you've read. Dirty solutions have environmental impact that ultimately has a monetary cost to mitigate. Just because you don't pay for it at purchase does not mean there is not a monetary cost.
