No worries! Happens to me all the time in real life.

I appreciate the information you provided. Helps me learn some things I didn’t know and get my facts straight.

You’re mistaken. That’s the SEC. FTC is commerce and trade.

I think you mean FTC, but I'll research to learn more. Thanks!

Thanks! That's definitely more than I found. I didn't know it goes back to March. Much appreciated.

This is news to me! You got a link to a credible source? I’d love to read it so I can hopefully change my opinion some.

EDIT>> Found it on my own, and it's the FTC, not the FCC. And this was posted one day ago, so I would think I could be forgiven for that :) (Seems it's been in the works since March, at least) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/grocery-cost-inflation-investigation-b2594782.html

Many businesses in the US still cling to that trope, yes. We all understood that it was to a be a temporary issue in 2020 and 2021, but businesses took that to mean they could just never drop their prices now that people were willing, at the time, to pay for it. I'm not talking luxury goods either, I'm talking about staples to maintain life, such as meat, vegetables, and even water prices have risen. This is untenable for many, many people.

Thing is…there is no real free market with proper competition, anyway. If there was such a thing, my groceries wouldn’t cost double now from what they were a mere five years ago (or quadruple, if looking at soda like Coke and Pepsi products). There is rampant collusion and price-fixing going on and not a damn government official seems to be doing anything about it. And yeah, the “but but the pandemic” excuse runs pretty thin as the years of this gouging continues.

As they should!

Or both…briefly.

And it’s a reason AI cannot be trusted. Full stop.

Perhaps in 50-100 years after people stop being stupid about it.

Don’t worry! The people at Boeing building the aircraft are high as well.

I suspect there’s a quite-overlapping Venn diagram of people who rely on LLMs for their “facts” with people who believe the earth is flat and people who believe ancient aliens are real.

13.6km is 44,619ft.

So nearly every time one flies commercial, yes, since cruising altitude is between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. I think a large triple-star system would be quite visible at that point.

0118 999 881 999 119 725….3

Nope, thank God.

So Mozilla will find other forms of funding. That’s how this works.

I am among them. It’s okay, I understand that comprehension is hard.

I never once said he could guarantee they won’t get violent. Does anyone read on this instance?

Yeah, that makes sense. Would 100% agree then.

Sorry, I meant the mechanics of the election isn't inherently flawed (except in GA now where counties can just decide not to certify at will). I would agree that voting should be changed, nationwide, to ranked choice.
