    Off the top of my head it seems to me these guys were caught doing some pretty heavy channel stuffing in the last few months.

  2. Reversing moderation.

    Not replying to anyone specific but it seems to me they bought it for the real estate. Whole Foods has a lot of real estate in high income urban areas. Would make a good place for the condo dwellers downtown to pick up their amazon deliveries on their way home from work.

    Just uninformed musing here.

    Mark is AI now? That explains it.

    Worst case Ontario is you just go get drunk and eat chicken fingers, amirite?

    I would caveat "harassment" to add "and HR didn't fix it".

    Overall, as much as they may deserve it, leaving without notice risks hurting yourself. The one question future employers may ask former employers is "is he eligible for re-hire", and a "no" there can hurt you. Sometimes it's worth it even so, but don't cut off your nose to spiderface.

  9. New user numbers are really high these days, huh? That is a long way from the old two and three digit guys in that earlier thread.

    Well, I'm convinced, new and unbiased, average person, this sounds like a great idea.

    Kinna Uber for CAA, then?

    I wish to buy or otherwise invest.

    I would enjoy this service!

    Sometimes that extra trip to the gas station is a drag when all you want to do is go home after a long day at the office.

    There must be a way to make this work with the law. Fuel deliveries to homes for heating fuel are a similar concept. Granted, the trucks are big rigs and no doubt follow a long safety checklist.

    Your repeated belittling of the aggressions of others triggers my latent feelings of inadequacy, you insensitive clod.

    Your use of double negatives is a perfect example of microaggressive behavior. Off to the reeducation camps for you!

    This is not to disagree, but I think the value of "anonymous" as a brand, lies in its potential use for any sort of false flag operation.

    Evidence suggests that it is all marketing, all the way down. This site. This story, this thread. And this post. Well, not "evidence" exactly.

    I think Anonymous is largely irrelevant and powerless these days and its members know it.

    This week on slashdot, i learned that this is most correctly referred to as the "slippery fish" argument. Once the first one gets by, it's all downhill from there.

    It's politics. If you don't let crazies have guns then it's the first step on the slippery slow towards rounding up all citizens and putting them into work camps.

    It's all a big fake-out to get more people to line up with the telephone sanitizers.

    accused Musk and other space-minded billionaires of plotting to abandon the planet to the ravages of global warming while they go to Mars to live the good life.

    Seems more likely to me that Musk is going to Mars to get as far as possible from the idiot who wrote this piece and the likes of him.

    Now this sad article makes me want to just off myself. Thanks slashdot

  22. Seriously, fuck "meant". Hold my beer for a second, and watch this...

    Also, I wonder if humans were meant to get this far? We evolved from basic primates to this level through millions of years. If you take an intelligent lifeform, is it possible that given enough time, it will always find a way to self-modify itself? Questions we might want to start asking ourselves, because we'll certainly want the protocol figured out before we actually get to immortality...

    What does "100 times more cheaply" mean?

    Yes but how do you open the man page in the first place if you don't know the command? Or what if you're so off-track that you need more than a single command to help?
