Not always. I usually shop right when they open because I often work 3rd shift. Sometimes they have half of the self checkouts closed and only one person there, and one register open and they're just not paying attention because it's always slow early in the morning. So by the time they notice people need help they have several people who need help. And almost everyone always needs help, those machines are an abomination and don't really work. I've had to get help three times in one checkout because once it hits a flag it locks up.
I wasn't really making a statement about the sexes. Milk of human kindness is a Macbeth reference, but also in Fallout 4 from the supermutant Strong. He misunderstands the Macbeth quote and wants to find the milk of human kindness because he thinks it is what makes humans powerful.
The seeds of evil, I was speaking of humanity. It is literally the seed, and it produces both men and women.
Yeah and if you have alcohol you wait eleven minutes for the one employee who is supposed to be helping, to actually notice there are people waiting. Then she realizes five people need help. Gets the cigarettes for the one guy but it takes three trips to the cage and back to get the right ones. Helps the lady with the coupons they grabbed the wrong items for. Helps the really old person who can't even stand scan and bag all of their groceries (why were they in self checkout anyway?).
Finally comes over to my white-bearded ass after 20 minutes and they could just hit the "customer is over 40" button, but they want to see my id. Yeah I'll just wait in line for the one cashier.
Spring is very unpredictable in many places. Could be freezing, could be hot. Could have terrible damaging storms. Maybe all three in the same day. I'd go with October 2nd.
Additionally, Lemmy would be a hostile place if you happened to be a conservative-leaning Linux user. I know quite a few, but they aren't on Reddit either.
Do you have a source for that? The Wikipedia page about it doesn't mention it and mentions other sources, which I guess could be tied to the heritage foundation but even clicking through links I couldn't find any connection.
I'm not saying there isn't plenty to criticize about the concept and where they place particular individuals. That's just the first time I've heard this claim, and I'm curious about it.
On the political compass subreddit they called them watermelons - green on the outside (libertarian left), red on the inside (authoritarian left). I realize they're not really left at all, but the authoritarianism is baked in.
Naw, separate machines. One for VR, opening my office Access files, the Adobe suite. And another one with Linux I use for most everything. Dual booting is sometimes problematic.
That's what I was going to say. Kids shoes are cheaper.
I'm 5'10" with a size 14 shoe, and it's frustrating because they stop making half sizes above 12 which means it's often difficult to find a good fitting shoe. I also have a 6'5" wingspan so shirts always either have too short of sleeves, or they are way too long on the torso.
It could easily be someone who goes to church. My church has a community meal and a food pantry, and a lot of people who are welcome and who come for church services are homeless or food-insecure or addicts. And honestly anything that isn't locked up walks away way too often. Jesus called for the church to serve the hurting and broken and needy so it shouldn't be a surprise. You know what though? A lot of those people are willing to volunteer time and even give a little when they can.
But the rich assholes that don't tip and treat their servers like shit, they usually don't help the church at all in any way. Maybe they throw in $20 a couple times a year to appease their conscience. Continue berating them by all means.
Yeah they're 20, 17 and 15. It could still be a few more years but we're making changes to keep the living room more free. It's also been extra challenging because for the last six months my job has been going through big changes and I haven't had an office at work either, which is why I've been working at home more. I can't tell you how many hours I've worked standing in my kitchen, sitting at a conference table alone at work, or working from my car or a cafe or something. It's actually been really cool, but sometimes really challenging.
Thank you for the reply. But check your elevation where you live, if I had any money I'd bet that where you sleep is much higher than 100' elevation :)
I don't have a basement or an attic. My oldest sleeps in part of what once was a one car garage garage. It now is a laundry room and a small bedroom. There are many nights when the only place we don't have someone sleeping is the kitchen, the laundry room and the two bathrooms. I really could use an office space tho. I've been working from home more in 2025 than any other year and my PC is in the living room but there are often teenagers sleeping in there and I like to start working around 5am because my wife gets up for work at 4. I'm just waiting it out at this point, one of these kids will move out someday. Right?

Unexpected item in bagging area. Ugh.
