IED is being mean?

No, it’s Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. Both being part of the UK. If you’re going to be pedantic, be correct.

Free movement between Ireland and the UK predates the EU and continues to this day. One part of the Brexit discussions was continuing border free travel between north and south on the island of Ireland.

I agree, nobody is coming to save you and you have to do it for yourselves. Bombing protestors, however distasteful, will make it so there is nothing worth saving.

Don’t get me wrong. Terrorism can work. And today’s terrorist is tomorrow’s freedom fighter. I don’t thinknthe USA is at that level of oppression for mqny people to be sympathetic to a terrorist movement, which is a requirement for it to work.

Northern Ireland? Nobody. And tensions remain today but people can love normal loves without oppression.

Or you mean Palestine? Terrorist attacks on either side didn’t help either. Eventually it lead to genocide.

Firstly I’m not a centrist. My beliefs lie firmly on the left.

Secondly, you’re not addressing my points.

It’s easy to be edgy and support terrorism from behind a keyboard. The reality of living under terrorism threats from either side is no better than fascism. See northern Ireland, Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Nigeria. The only one I’d like to live in is northern Ireland, where the threat of terrorism has subsided due to treating each side as people and ending terrorism.

The only way nazism grows is by treating people like they are not people. This is why nazis take over.

That’s my point. When you lose your humanity, you are no better. The whole point of fascism is to ‘other’ different in and out groups. Exactly what you’re doing, to the point where you think terrorism is ok.

You’re conflating state sponsored violence with random Nazi supporters joking them as private malitia.

Absolutely violence should not be avoided where violence is already being used. However, by all account these nazis were protestors, not the agents of the government.

Nazis are still people and there is still a spectrum of violence and beliefs. In the Nazi bar analogy, they all end up being nazis by virtue of association and tolerance of Nazi views. You’re making the leap to all being Nazis immediately.

Non violent far right protestors have the right to protest and their beliefs. Where they have already perpetrated violence, they should receive it in kind or, ideally prosecution.

The use of IED is not that and just normalises it’s use. Which side has the bigger propensity for violence and bombing of unarmed civilians?

The Dems and the left have a problem where they tut tut and pearl clutch rather than taking action. Jumping to bombing protests is not the answer, however distasteful those protests are.

Most people would be surprised if he was transparently honest at any point in his professional career. It’s all spin and lies.

Terrorism with IEDs is a threat to safety of all and to democracy, even if it is directed at nazis.

Also, what do you think the Nazis do next?

Also, having someone that will continue to make things worse is why its as bad as it can be. The future is known.

The margins in grocery are razor thin. It’s a volume game…usually they have your cash before they need to pay the supplier with 30 days payment pretty standard in business.

I’m not saying they won’t do all you’re suggesting. I’m saying they’ll do both. Unless we prevent them with regulations and fines.

Some countries require pricing to be visible. I would assume, just like online, they will use algorithms and ai to figure out what price point gives the most profit. Its only trouble to set up. The corporate world doesn’t look at trouble. They look at cost. If the return investment is positive, they do it. If it’s high, they do it as a priority.

Not all retail is online. Much is but not all. Groceries is one that is often better in person for that evenings meal on the way home from work. It’s led to the rise of metro style supermarkets near transport hubs.

Only citizens may vote.

Would you like to know more?

I a shop with 10 products, yes, I’d agree. In a supermarket with thousands of products, they can predict what you’re likely to buy if you’re a regular customer and you might be the only one buying those items that day.

I don’t expect them to do it overnight. First they roll them out for the cost savings. Just like they did with barcodes rather than price labels. Then they start to look at other savings or profit centres.

After a while it becomes, why wouldn’t they do it?

It’s not the question asked. It’s the first. Like hell have rfk on to spout nonsense about vaccines (made up example) and say he’s just looking at all views, just asking questions.

Well, if you have questions, ask a scientist that has studied it, not someone with a brain worm that directly caused children’s deaths due to misleading campaigns against vaccines on the Pacific islands.

Asking a terf on to talk about gender identity. Climate change deniers to talk about climate change. Asking trump on to talk about anything. It’s a way to muddy the waters about who is an expert while also making it unclear as to what the evidence says.

They don’t currently, but they could.

Take brand x on the shelf. Sold for $5 at a profit of $1. They sell 10 per week. You buy 2 if those every week, on Wednesday at about 6pm. Why not make them $5.50 next Wednesday and see what happens. Normal price on other days as no pattern identified.

Then once that’s successful, why not have beacons detecting your phone, or even the stores app feeding your location. Then they can update just for the hours you are there.

Oh, but you’ll say you swore it said $5 when you picked it off the shelf. The worker will say they have to charge what’s there now and what it scanned as. Your choice to purchase it or go look for something else.

They’ve already started all this crap with online purchasing. It’s just moving it to retail.

I find it pretty easy. I never see any lying around that I’ve missed.

Of course you can, but you only have so much time to do actions. Spending their time on less important things means more important things get neglected.

I think the problem of protecting kids and society in general from the harms of social media, and now ai, is hugely important, though. Age verification by these untrustworthy companies is not the solution, though.

The non id carrying Republican voters is a small but vocal minority. The minorities that have difficulty getting valid I’d is much larger, which is the whole point. However, I’d say more are prioritizing their id given ICE oppression.

So it may not work as well as previously.

Ah, ok. I don’t use reddit any more.

What hype? I was only barely aware it relaunched itself.
