It goes on the rim and hangs inside the toilet bowl, right? That thing is festering with shit particles if so.

I see, that makes sense.

I don't really think it's reasonable to expect businesses will do anything to benefit customers though. Right now they have those costs accounted for in pricing, as you've stated. If they are allowed to charge fees for credit card use, they will keep their prices the same and simply add a further cost to the customers using cards. They're not going to lower prices.

I believe your situation will simply result in higher costs for everyone while the business profits more than ever.

I don't really get your complaint in the last paragraph. How are you losing money on transactions?

If people find credit cards more convenient then that is great, but others shouldn't have to pay for their preferences.

It sounds like you're saying that people who don't use credits cards are somehow subsidizing those who do. I've never heard of that before and it sounds wrong to me. Merchants are usually the ones who pay transaction fees, not customers.

Wasn't there a big thing a while ago about telecoms charging credit card fees? I was pretty sure they lost that battle.

It seems unwise to rely on the uneducated masses to interpret things correctly. Perhaps clearer communication would be helpful.

"Wage" is rather poor wording then.

I think it would be a lot more reasonable to expect undocumented issues. They have a lot to lose and it's controlled by a billionaire. As if they're not going to try to cover it up.

Can we stop calling rich assholes "elite"?

They're not elite, they're clearly just a bunch of cunts.

This university is in Canada, genius. Those are the laws in Canada.

This method of bribery also works on supreme court judges.

Every time my dad has something to say about me I say that.

Who was responsible for raising me again? YOU WERE, you judgemental turd.

that's vandalism and can get you in trouble.

A simple sticker though, which can be easily removed, doesn't count as vandalism, and can be done over and over again for almost no cost.

It's not apathy, it's an observation of the legal status of the situation.

Legally, you have no reasonable expectations of privacy in a public space, and as such anyone is free to record you. I don't think fingerprint data being collected from devices available to the public has been tried in court yet, but audio and video recordings certainly have been.

It's actually a good thing. Imagine if it was illegal for you to video cops.

My favourite is the "upload your genitals as jpeg"

they post updates of things they are making (music, games, and comics mostly); and they share photos that they've taken, and links and comments to news that they find interesting. Compared to Lemmy, it's more personal, because when you respond you are talking directly to a person that you are likely to talk to again.

You can do all that same stuff on Lemmy/reddit, except the comments are actually organized and readable. Trying to read a continuous comment thread on Twitter is such a pain.

I bet half of them are Facebook's Threads.

End thread.

I don't get why people like the microblig format. It's so terrible for anything more than snarky quips.

Literally every example OP gave predates the hunger games.

I can't stand the actor's gross smokers voice, but she was an awesome character and her voice actually kind of fit with it. It's harsh and untempered, just like the character.
