Is this actually a bad thing? I don't know enough about the process. How does beef tallow compare taste-wise to other oils? My first instinct was to think that would actually taste pretty good, but I have no idea.
The default view for communities is Local, which will only show communities on your instance. Given you're on lemmy.world, that's a considerable number, but if you click 'All' at the top of the communities page, you'll also see communities outside of your instance (but again only ones that your instance knows about, which amounts to any that someone from your instance has subscribed to). Again, you're on LW, so this is a significant percentage.
If this is a niche that doesn't exist currently (or you can't find a place for it), you could create such a community.
the least you can do is give me a boatload of cash so I can spend several years or even the rest of my life (depending on how long you fucked me over, some of these people get fucked for decades) not working and like traveling the world or whatever to make up for it.
The amount of money that's paid out for this is pitiful in comparison to how much you'd need to actually feel compensated. It's $50k-$100k per year of imprisonment (depending on state and length of imprisonment), so for 20 years you're getting (in most states) $2 million or so, but then you're charged for services rendered while you were imprisoned in most states - for example, health insurance, room and board, etc., which severely reduce that value. Even if you got the full $2 million, you've lost 20 years - and the career development you would have had during that time - not to mention technology has likely completely moved on from what you remember. Good luck getting anything more than a minimum wage job at that point, and $2 million is not going to last you for the rest of your life unless you were already 50 or so when you were convicted.
To be clear, I agree with you that people falsely convicted should be monetarily compensated. Just pointing out that current compensation is embarrassingly low.
Look, it'll even out to 2000 calories per day over a long enough period, okay? We can drop 14k in one meal as long as we don't eat for a week afterwards. Trust me.
Discounts for loyalty members is the same thing as higher prices for the general public.
I generally agree with you, but I think it'd be very difficult to legislate this. (For example, if you ban "discounts" for loyalty program members, they instead offer "rebates" which functionally is the same effect. If you ban "rebates", they instead send you a coupon for your next visit after you shop.)
If the advertised price is what a non-loyalty-program shopper pays, I have less of a problem with it, but what gets me is when the item is listed as, for example, "2 for $3" on the shelf, and at the register rings up for $3.69 each unless you swipe a loyalty card. Fuck that shit.
Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
