As I remember/understand it, it's a civil law, not a criminal one. One that doesn't really care about standing (who has skin in the game to file a lawsuit). So here's the neat part: damn near anyone can sue over it!

All fraud are shady things, but not all shady things are fraud. The prior commenter implied that all top corporations commit fraud (at least, that's how I took it. It was worded a bit abstractly).

So, what fraud (not shady thing, not something you disagree with, but actual fraud) is Target committing? Or are we just trying to be edgy?

That's how I do it! While still sitting down of course. I used to do it the other way standing up but find this easier and works better

It could even be done as an official act!

Just go with that one.

(I mean honestly, how do you give yourself a sunburn with a spray tan?)

Split days off sounds pretty bad to be honest. Wednesday and Thursday doesn't sound terrible and has its advantages, but as a M-F worker I would have a hard time meeting up with someone working a schedule like that.

I would suggest taking off Friday-Saturday or Sunday-Monday. Little bit of the best of both worlds, plus you can avoid some of what you mentioned earlier.

Ironically, the Chevy Bolt was a perfect car for that. Reasonably priced, no stupid gizmos like retracting door handles, Android Auto, actual buttons for controls... But of course GM killed it. A new version should come out eventually, but who knows if it'll keep the spirit of their old Bolts. For now, the used market hit the sweet spot where it's still a pretty modern car, but it's gone through most of its depreciation from new so it's pretty cheap. Especially with the tax credit.

Full disclosure: DC fast charging sucks on this car. On some pre-2022 models it's non-existent. But it's still excellent for commuting and medium-short trips!

What is that even supposed to mean? I go to Target, buy some soap, and go home. Somehow that's fraud?

I'm not saying Target or any other corporation is free from their issues... But fraud isn't necessarily one of them.

Now that you mention it, I want this too.

Many would be upset that the great Elon didn't get what he wants to save Social Security. 🙄

They do realize he's only a few years away from a heart attack or stroke anyway?

My daughter qualified for social security due to her low birth weight. The maximum weight for that is 2 pounds, 10 ounces (1.2kg). She was born at less than half that. Does that mean we'd have to bring her over while she was in NICU for 4 months and on a ventilator? For $30/month of benefits?

What state are you in? Some states have a free ID for voting purposes. Don't get me wrong, it's still shitty that you have to go through that but see if yours is one of them

Looking around Roku's site, I found this email address: AdsPR@roku.com

I'm planning on giving them a brief but firm "oh hell no" letter. I wonder how many others will do the same 🤔

Fuck clickbait headlines like this.

An apology would be nice, but do you really need to explain to the server that you still haven't received your food? I think they know that

How does telling someone about a problem they're already aware of help you?

Strip malls with O'Reilly Auto parts, Chick fil A, and some insurance agent... All next to Walmart, is culture. Just not very inspiring.

Have you looked into bone conduction headphones? I've had a set for about 3 years now and it's still going strong. It has its pros and cons for sure, but I'm a huge fan. Mine is the Openrun Pro by Shokz. Maybe a hair beyond your budget, but should last really well for you

I mean, that's step 1? It's not like they can do an instantaneous cutover, they'll need to figure out what's vital enough to deserve buttons, come up with a design/layout for that, find a supplier for them, get them in, start assembling the cars with them... Honestly they've probably already done a lot of that behind the scenes already before saying anything publicly. Point is, it's not like there's a button in the factory to start making cars with buttons instead.
