The goal is to mess up price history. So it will have a list price of $50 but with a coupon to make it $35. Then a sale day happens and they lower the price to $40. It's 20% off! Good deal.

It doesn't really help if you're comparison shopping with alerts. I don't know that Amazon thinks you're going to go to another site.

"Approve my claim or i'll kill you" is not a warning. it's a threat.

Yep that would be a threat. That's not what she said though. She never said she'd do anything. She was just pointing out that someone was recently killed for the behavior they're exhibiting, so if they're going to keep doing that behavior, it stands to reason the same thing will happen to them.

The context is just her life. That she's attempting to apply to everyone always. The problem is not the question like she seems to assume. And her solution to ask "Where do you consider home?" is awkward and doesn't really help.

To note, the problem is the underlying assertion that they have to be from somewhere foreign when other people in the same area won't have that assumption applied to them. So the context the question is asked in matters a lot and her blanket statement completely takes that context out of it.

You don't want drug addicts being solely responsible for a newborn baby do you? The only way to be sure that doesn't happen is to test people.

I don't know if the original intention was just that naïve or if it was always sinister, but it's definitely used in discriminatory ways and does more harm than good.

Call me crazy, but I don't count an ovum as someone.

Carefully placing an already growing embryo really doesn't have the same aura of cream to it, y'know? Like there's not even sperm at that point.

Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.

Additionally, my wife has recently started watching Gossip Girl but I only catch glimpses of that show. Did anybody actually like that show when it came out?

If you think of teenage girls as people, tons of people liked it when it came out. They also liked the books.

We have tons of video evidence of cops planting evidence for smaller things than this.

It's a McDonald's. Do people even look up the reviews for a McDonald's before going?

No. He was the kind of evil that legally harmed and killed millions. A That you see that as innocent shows a complete disregard for humanity.

It's sick you think he was innocent.

In case it's someone who looks plausibly old enough but who "borrowed" Mom's ID. I doubt they have facial recognition to match ID to face on those cheap POSs.

You got to read more of the sentence:

The killing has sparked public outrage and dark humor on social media, reflecting widespread frustration with health insurers

The outrage isn't about the killing. The outrage is about the health insurers. The killing is just the spark that got us all to talk about it.

My experience with self checkout at Costco is very much that they still do 80% of the work if you have more than 2 things. Like they're flipping things and scanning them in my cart and I'm just handling pushing buttons and paying on the touch screen. It's kinda bizarre but not bad imo.

The real trick is they don't have the weight sensor and cameras that flip out over every move. Like damn I told you I was putting 3 bags in the bagging area; they are not unexpected items.

The green doesn't follow that.

Clinton pardoned his brother for selling cocaine. It's not like this is the first time a Democrat has done this.

It depends on if you assume controlled substance applied to every item on the list or if being addicted to any simulant would count. How I read it, if alcohol counts, so does caffeine.

It isn't a win. But it isn't a loss either. It just doesn't matter.

Maybe it's a step towards losing that holier than thou attitude and actually getting things done.

Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.

I could read that to include being an alcoholic. But I can also read it as being addicted to caffeine.
