When the rest of Hasbro’s business is tanking, they need to exploit the one property that is still making money.

I’ll just add that BBY and Michael’s business mode is to use the Anchoring effect year round, so they can constantly offer 40-60% “discounts”. If you paid full price for anything at those stores (BBY is out of business, but still) you got ripped off.

Shockingly, the app used to be worse. Of course, now today their ad backend is down so the app won’t work at all.

That’s my point. This restaurant is try to bait and switch their customers by giving a misleading food price and adding a service charge. It is like a cell phone company adding garbage fees.

As for my initial comment - if you add a percentage for service, that ends my obligation to tip.

If you charge me for service, I’m not paying extra for service.

Call it what it is - a junk fee so they can make their prices look lower than they are. I wouldn’t go to this restaurant a second time.

I wish they’d go back to their brief pattern of alternating feature releases with stability & performance releases. Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion were rock solid releases.

No doubt your logic is based on the carbon footprint of two cars - the old ice and the new BEV.

Where that logic falls down is the old ICE becomes a more affordable efficient used car that can replace an older ICE that it blowing blue smoke. Further, new BEV become used BEV in a few years. Used BEV are becoming quite affordable and cost effective. They are also far outlasting their projected battery life.

Finally, demand for BEV increases R&D on more efficient storage technologies that are cheaper and have a smaller environmental footprint.

Yes, more and better public transport should be a thing. But the US is just too big - and in many cases too empty - for ubiquitous public transport to be cost or environmentally efficient.

Along with the rest of crypto, but don’t tell them…

The problem is the perception that having a college education automatically means that you get a high paying job, when the reason that college educated people got paid more was that there were fewer of them. As college education becomes the norm rather than the exception, it just means that more jobs require degrees.

This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.

The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.

I didn’t say that. Security and privacy are nearly opposites. This is a security decision.

Because these three provide federated login most email providers do not.

They are probably talking about using it to share CSAM or other illegal content. They need one person to login to be not anonymous so they can give it to the authorities if necessary.

Hm, someone needs to shop this face on to the front of Thomas the Tank Engine.
