This is extra funny to me because I do grow leafy greens.

Just because what you're talking about is also true doesn't mean that it's not whataboutism. Switching topics like this is the definition of whataboutism.

This is just stupid. Everyone is flawed. Politicians are just people. They are all flawed.

This is incorrect. The company is planning to try switching to digital signage which can be updated to lower prices during slow periods and promote certain items based on weather.

The company has actually released a statement saying that lowering prices during slow hours is exactly what they're planning on doing, along with promoting certain items based on weather (which I assume means ice cream when it's hot, coffee when it's cold, etc).

Nice whataboutism.

Doing a good thing is a good thing even if it doesn't address all the ills in the world. The labor rights abuses are unrelated to this action.

All you people commenting ignorantly without reading the article or knowing anything about the subject.

The AI isn't making any decisions. It's being used to help identify targets, which are then acted upon--or not--by humans.

This isn't the big, scary thing you're all making it out to be.

The object recognition algorithms are used to identify potential targets. Humans then operate weapons systems. The US has reportedly used the software to identify enemy rockets, missiles, drones, and militia facilities.

Don't forget there was some great music.

The biggest shrinkflation culprit is food. People need food. Recent trends do, in fact, show that American consumers have been switching to cheaper brands and reducing consumption of some items, but boycotting is unrealistic. People need to eat and a handful of massive corporations own most brands.

If I had my little way

On top of this, rice is not a staple food for most Americans, so many don't know how to cook it or what to do with it, aside from with packaged goods like Rice-A-Roni.

Also, anyone who's ever flown to/from Orlando knows those planes have far more kids on them than the typical flight does. This outbreak is fortunately so far only in south Florida, but that doesn't mean it will stay there. Just one infected kid going to a central Florida theme park could spread this around the country very rapidly.

Oh, and spring break is what, a few weeks away? Good thing most colleges require proof of vaccination....

I'm on kbin, so Ernest coming back sure would be a huge boost.

That is absolutely not something that most kids do.

Similar story. I think my exact words were, "If you hire him, he will railroad you." 'Nough said.

It could be my favorite restaurant and I would stop going and start advocating against them to friends and family if they did this.

That sounds reasonable until you consider that kids starting out at their adult life very often only have friends and family who could act as a reference.

I once had a former friend (as in, we had a falling out due to him being a constant asshole) apply to the company I was working at and list me as a reference (we had also worked together for a couple of years at one point).

Oh boy, did he not get that job.

They found her noise canceling earbuds on the road next to her.

I agree it's stupid to walk around as a pedestrian with noise canceling anything on your ears, but it's the norm these days. Or what if she had been deaf? These people exist.

And you're coming awfully damn close to victim-blaming.
