Too late. We’re fucked.

Yes. He’s still a Nazi. You’re not getting the point.

Fry is trying to provoke Musk into saying, “yes, they’re good enough,” turning it an admission that he is indeed a Nazi.

Boy meets inevitability. She has a special place in my heart.

Go on…

Which state jurisdiction is Cuba under?

You don’t seem to understand the rules of this game.

It is.

The left lost its way. BLM and Floyd protests were the closest we’ve gotten to the anger the left displayed for the Vietnam war.

Yes, but what-abouting them right now goes against the greater good. And since they realize their mistake and hopefully won’t repeat it, we shouldn’t give up on them.

I keep hearing this “if you’re a straight, white male, you’ll be fine.” I’m a straight “white passing” male (half Cuban, with no Latin origin names).

When people say this, I ask, “what about my friends? What about my family? What about the people I love?” Does that not affect me? Are we supposed to ignore their plight?

I don’t see what we can do to combat Trump short of organizing and fighting back. We all know how good the left are at that.

As a US citizen, I approve of this position. Fuck this place.

Um, crazy. I did this with my kitty.

It really isn’t about optimism. I know prices would go up no matter what. But it does allow a bit more passive control without being a twat about leaving carts out.

I wasn’t aware of the shopping cart theory. Thanks, now I have a name for my belief. :)

(I know the difference, I was just attempting to be silly with it all.)

I learned this as a kid working at a grocery store asking the same question. When you leave your cart by your car instead of returning it, it takes labor to collect the carts around the parking lot. That labor costs money to the company. That money gets passed on to you as a customer buying products.

The 30-45 seconds it takes to return your cart may seem inconvenient. Rinse, wash, repeat a thousand times in your life. Multiply that by millions of people nationwide across all grocery stores. That adds up.

Stop being lazy. It’s not hard to return the cart. If we all did it, it would passively reduce labor costs. That could potentially reduce price hikes on food.

Exactly. Making these things up ain’t rocket appliances.
