Illegal_Prime, to asklemmy in whats a song you heard for the first time recently that gave you a powerful reaction?

The New Pornographers - Whiteout Conditions

I remember this album from when it came out, but I first heard this song again about a month ago. It encapsulates y feelings about the Gaza war, and how the more I learn, the more I feel like there are very few moral choices one can make.

Illegal_Prime, to memes in just when you don't think about, bääm! a German.

One of my favorite things about Reddit was that whenever two Germans found each other in a comment section they would always start a long reply chain in German. I always thought it was cute.

Illegal_Prime, to memes in Public Transit my beloved 😍

I have my own cart that I walk to the store with, I never have much trouble with it, and it’s super useful when I need to get heavy things like milk. I’ve never brought it on the metro as I’ve never had any reason to, but it would not be too difficult to do so. It’s no more difficult than carrying a suitcase or two to the airport.

Illegal_Prime, to memes in May as well buy burgers in the US, since you already paid for most of it through taxes!

I’m not vegetarian, but I will stand by peanut butter being the best sandwich filling for packing lunch. Nothing compares to its ability to keep well in a room temperature ziploc bag.

Illegal_Prime, to memes in Saw a news story people about people getting arrested for at Wal-Mart for forgeting to scan one item

All the stories in this thread are ridiculous, not untrue, but very weird.

Product loss is a problem, and can threaten a store’s ability to operate, especially in disadvantaged communities where there aren’t many options for shopping. That said, what the fuck is everyone thinking? Why do people care about like one guy not scanning or accidentally taking one item, you’re wasting more resources dealing with it then if you just ignored it.

The actual solution? Exit gates that open when you scan your receipt, maybe combined with some system that weighs the whole order to make sure it makes sense. Completely automated, no shouting, easy to implement because the technology already exists on transit systems and many other things.

I don’t get why this is a problem, though I’ve never seen anything like this at any nearby grocery store.

Illegal_Prime, to memes in No, I would like your multimillion dollar employer to, though...

Me who exclusively uses self checkout and never does this (in no small part due to the no button being bright red.)

Illegal_Prime, to upliftingnews in Sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky is moving from science fiction to reality

Doesn’t that mean that the oil produced here emits less net CO2? Since CO2 was used to extract it, taking it out of the atmosphere, that mean that the entire process of extraction and consumption emits less net CO2 than more traditional methods.

Hardly carbon neutral, but an improvement.

Illegal_Prime, to upliftingnews in A Powerful Antibiotic That Can Tackle Superbugs Has Been Discovered in the ‘Dark Matter’ of Bacteria

Sensationalist bias goes brrrrrr.

Illegal_Prime, to upliftingnews in Supermarket plastic bag charge has led to 98% drop in use in England, data shows

What the fuck kind of prices are you guys paying for plastic bags!? At my local grocery store they charge 5 cents for a plastic bag, and the other nearby one gives you recyclable paper bags for free. I thought about this for a bit but at a whole nickel per bag it’s probably not worth profiting off of, or if it is profitable, not enough for anyone to care.

Illegal_Prime, to asklemmy in What is something you think leftists are not ready to hear but need to hear it?

There was plenty of anti-slavery political involvement leading up to the civil war, the New Deal was started by the democratically elected FDR, we’ve recently seen the disparities in LGBT rights depending on who holds majorities in government. All these come from voting and deliberate policymaking whether it be through ingenuity or bigotry. Fight tooth and nail for your right to vote, but ALWAYS use it, and make sure to educate yourself about who is on your ballot.

Illegal_Prime, to asklemmy in What's your favorite rabbit hole to go down?

This is very interesting, but the conspiracy is almost certainly untrue. Titanic and Olympic had a lot of differences between them that wouldn’t be easy to switch. Additionally, the circumstances of the wreak don’t really lend themselves to insurance fraud, there was very little deviation from standard procedures of the time, though those procedures would prove woefully inadequate.
