    That’d be a great point if self-checkout was anywhere near as convenient as an ATM. But it’s not, it’s literally the same machine a cashier uses, bolted onto a card reader. There’s no added convenience unless you’re buying literally only one item. It’s not innovation, it’s outsourcing labor to the customer so the company can cut jobs and boost profits. You’re doing 100% of the work they used to pay Someone for.

    No, I definitely remember when the mainstream media jumped at the chance to smear one of the most peaceful spiritual figures alive, context be damned. They took a culturally unfamiliar moment and ran it through a Western lens to manufacture outrage. And look, they’re still collecting dividends on it!












  • Ah yes, the tragic wave of innocent Tesla owners having their daily drivers ritually torched by angry mobs. Definitely a real thing, definitely not just a few dealership lots going up in smoke under extremely convenient circumstances. Definitely not insurance fraud from a company that’s hemorrhaging value and propped up by enough tax subsidies to fund a small nation. Let’s all clutch our pearls and act like someone’s grandma just lost her only ride to church. You good, or do you need a GoFundMe for your imagination?
