The problem is that they drive out local grocery stores that were actually pretty good, have terrible safety records, and food sanitation.

Last Week Tonight did an episode on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4QGOHahiVM

I toured that building when I was looking for a place, and just so happened to be there when there was recess or something. The loud noise of kids was definitely a significant factor in me not signing a lease.

Yeah, this sounds very similar to people who vote as if they're temporarily embarrassed billionaires. "There's a minuscule chance my work will become super lucrative for decades, so I want a super long copyright" when they don't realize that a much shorter copyright can help them creatively in the near term.

I don't know if he wrote it via AI, but he repeats himself over and over again. It could have been 1/3 the length and still conveyed the same amount of information.

'I don't know if he wrote it via AI, but he repeats himself'.

Some people just aren't good writers.

Its AI, he said it himself

That still doesn't mean that something is AI just because a text is repetitive.

For those surprised by the cost, this is an Issey Miyake product, and the price is in-line with that. It's no different than the $800+ Hermes leather Apple Watch straps.

Also made in Japan

I'm as big a weeb as anyone but this is a textbook example of:

>thing >:(

>thing, Japan :O

In the context of this thread it's not so egregious. It was "It's expensive because it's designer" "Also because it's made in japan".

It's an economic fact that a factory worker in Japan will have a higher salary and more overhead than a similar worker in Vietnam or China.

Thats only because it’s so hot in Arizona they want to sun to set earlier so it’s cooler in summer evenings.

And a third-order effect of every other link being SEO garbage or AI slop

That's still not a scam. They tell you what you're paying for. If you don't like it, then go somewhere else. There's no deception going on.

So the hecklers selling overpriced trinkets at every major tourist attraction in Europe or the US aren't scams? I disagree.

Unless they're trying to force them on you, no, they're not. Them being annoying as fuck doesn't mean they're dishonest.

You're using an free tier supported by ads, what would you expect?

Either pay the money they ask if it's worth having comments, or build your own system.

as far as I can tell, pharmacists cannot give vaccines off-label (this is an issue for the new covid guidelines and some states fell back to an Rx if no longer eligible for the covid booster).

Your PCP may give a vaccine off-label though, which is how I got my Shingrix, though I had to pay out of pocket.
