My Lemmy instance wont let anyone upload any pictures. Is there a way to embed inline an image to a comment in this case? Edit: found the solution finally.

No just post level karma.

It technically doesn't apply to you, but it totally does. They don't have any way to validate who you are or where you're from. So CCPA gave everyone the protection. Just ask and they have to delete the data.

Amazon is one of the most evil companies on the planet and yet it's not on your list but Costco is? Gonna have to completely disagree with you. Costco is probably one of if not the best company in the fortune 500. They operate and live by their code ethics to do the right thing. They've never ever had a lay off of employees, they treat people right.

You called them out for a subscription model, yet don't understand what they are offering at all. What store can you shop at that offers products at zero margin? Costco's yearly net profit is the number of members times the membership cost. Their entire business profit is only the $100 membership fee per person. That's all they want to make from each person.

Edit: And then you have Amazon. Where they use people and dump them. Have a vulturistic operating model. They literally have meetings and design their software to trick people into buying at a higher cost. They'll manipulate anyone anyway they see fit to make as much money as possible from them. They sell stolen and counterfeit products and they know it, they just let it happen because validating products would cost them money. They'd rather just say sorry if you catch them and give a refund.

This is legitimately how it works in the US between insurance and pharma/medical.

I just had a baby and I added up the total bill from the hospital and it was $100,000. We were in the hospital for 3 days. My insurance "negotiated" it down to $26,000, and I paid $3000.

The $100,000 is completely made up from the beginning. Pharma and medical just slap big ass ridiculous numbers down, then the insurance fake negotiates down to a still completely ridiculous number, then that cost has to get eaten by people who pay into insurance, which is basically everyone.

The $1.50 Costco hot dog and soda of course! If you haven't seen the new Costco edition you're missing out!

Disney Cruise line is the best! That was the first thing I thought of to compare this to.

There's also a reason for that too. The bag not only needs to be inflated with air to protect the chips, but it also has to have plenty of room for that air to expand and contract due to atmospheric pressure changes. For example, if you made the bag just big enough for the chips and enough air that when pushed or squished a bit it doesn't cave in on the chips. And your manufacturing plant is at sea level. When those chip bags go on a truck and arrive at 8,000 feet in Colorado. All the bags would be popped because the air inside expanded far beyond the left over capacity of the bag, so POP!

Yep, all of us plebs want RCV. But the problem is in order to get it, we need one of two major parties in control to make the change. But they don't want to make the change because they know if they do, us plebs will actually start voting for independent parties and they'll lose their power. :(

We need Ranked Choice Voting at all levels including the presidency before we can have lots of different parties.

On my to do list for today. Did you submit a formal CCPA delete request? Or just log in and delete?

Probably because they know if it gets implemented they will get tossed out. What a shame.

And buying back the stock has the effect of making the stock price go up. And guess who gets the most stock? The CEO and C suite. They give themselves huge raises by doing this and it's perfectly legal :(

Do you have lidar on your head? No, yet you're able to drive with just two cameras on your face. So no lidar isn't required. Not that driving in a very dynamic world isn't very difficult for computers to do, it's not a matter of if, it's just a matter of time.

Would lidar allow "super human" driving abilities? Like seeing through fog and in every direction in the dark, sure. But it's not required for the job at hand.

Oysters on the half shell, raw, are alive not dead. I love seafood too, and eat raw sashimi grade fish all the time but yeah I've never eaten a raw alibe oyster either.

Nah, bleach is the correct way. Soak in bleach/water. No scrubbing or nonsense needed.

So far literally no one has said the real and correct way to remove the stains. Fill sink with some water. Add bleach, let me soak for an hour or so. Perfectly back to normal. For particularly bad stains, soak overnight. Any decent restaurant or kitchen bleaches their kitchen utensils and containers. Back when I had my food handlers card many moons ago bleaching was required.

It was never a secret and yet the poor and miserable keep voting for them.

Holy shit this finally got it to click in my head.

If there were no ads at all I'd instantly subscribe. But I don't pay for anything that has ads. It's either free with ads, or paid with no ads.
