  • Wastes vasts amounts of urban land on parking instead of housing or more businesses

    Is often so deep in parking lots and strip malls its impossible to walk to

    Cheap prices and cheap chinese manufacturing to help eliminate local competition

    Massive corporation has more bulk buying power than local competition

    Designed to be a one stop shop, fix your car, buy a tv and grab some food

    Self checkouts pays robots instead of people in the community the store is in

    The people who do work there are paid shit wages for life, often not even keeping up with inflation meaning they actually get paid less every year

    Probably paying less taxes than they should be for the amount of space the business takes up and the amount of traffic generated

    Helps promote car centric design which is a terribly ineffecient and expensive way to move people within an urban area.






  • This makes me irrationally angry. I don’t need my phone babysitting my ears and the notification doesn’t happen nearly frequently enough to matter anyway. It can be a distraction, especially while driving, i always think i need to pull over to answer a call but nope, just a half assed hearing protection measure.

    Does anyone know of any apps or ways to disable the feature on android?





  • Imagine if the police used some critical thinking. Discharged from the military for his conduct, 2 DUIs (thats just when he got caught). How the hell did this guy keep his job as law enforcement after the first DUI? That should pretty much immediately take you off the force. If they can’t be trusted to drive sober and responsibly, how can we trust them as a law enforcement officer? What if they showed up drunk to work as well?

    This situation could have been avoided if the police were more critical of themselves as an organization and had stricter rules and regulations for themselves.
