Tell me that there is an anti trust suit over this.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 43 points 3 weeks ago

But but they erupted by saying "Swifties for Trump' obviously don't know who Taylor Swift HATES" and "Oh i just know [Tree Paine] is writing up a GOOD lawsuit". The absolute fury of the eruption came through when some random person said "Real Swifties hate Donald Trump btw".

An absolute and unmitigated ERUPTION of FURY!

I think the more egregious part is that all of the networks covered Trump's press conference, then failed to cover Harris' speech. Giving air time to one candidate and not the other is not balanced reporting. It is giving free publicity to one candidate over the other. They went to Trump's house on short notice rather than cover Harris' public speech with plenty of notice.

Ah, "buy" was a typo but it wasn't meant to be "boy". I know better than that. It was meant to be "guy".

Yeah, I've worked retail too and I don't think I would have done this, even if I did have another task to complete.

This cashier's lane light was on. They smiled at me, came to help, scanned my items, and let me pay. Then, rather than scanning the man's six items, they put up their closed sign and walked away without saying a word while leaving their lane light on. It felt hostile and rude.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It's honestly weighing on me that I didn't say something. I guess the best that I can do is to do better next time something similar happens.

Thank you. You don't think that speaking up would be more embarrassing for the man that what already happened? I feel terrible that I didn't act more appropriately in the moment, but I was too shocked to think of a good response to the situation.

I like this. This is the mentality I plan to take with me in case of future situations. I feel terrible that I wasn't present enough to act appropriately in the moment.

You look at the keyboard when you place your hands?

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I go through a cheap Logitech keyboard just about once every three years. I replace them when a a couple of keys stop working or when the nubs wear off of the center keys and can no longer blindly find where my hands go.
