Just some pathetic cis white boy from Canada’s worst province who never amounted to much of anything. Work in a grocery store that is mostly okay, but don’t make enough to live off so I’m resigned to just trying to not cry too much every day. I have a partner I dearly love.

  • It’s like people who want help shopping at the grocery store. A robot is basically useless. My average interaction:

    “Do you have this thing?”

    Is it a food thing or a non food thing?

    “It’s a bin, for food”

    Okay, you want a big bin or a little one, disposable or resuable? Made of glass or plastic? Aisle 2.

    “It’s food, I can’t eat plastics or glass.” Okay… You want beans maybe?

    “Yes yes beans that’s what I said”

    Okay aisle 5, right hand side halfway down.

    Customers frequently don’t know what they want, or even how to say it. So I spent 5 minutes looking for a Greek spice ziitar when they were looking for an arabic/north Africa spice Zaatar that is in the world food section.

    Imagine a robot trying to decipher this, especially when many people have accents as well, or they just show you a picture of a thing. I can work it out, it takes a little to time. The robot would also be useless because our store carries like millions of things and has at one point carries most things but it’s a luck of the draw if we currently carry something. So ask a robot, do you carry tahini sauce? Yes we do, we currently have 0 at negative 1 dollar located in section not found. Because that’s all the computer is going to say for like 90% of the tahini stuff we carry since we’ve switched brands a dozen times and they all are still stores there even though we haven’t carried many for over a decade.


  • Yeah but now he has merchandise… So everything he does is just a promotion to sell more of the crap that makes him money. Like his shitty chocolate bars that sell for three times the price of a Nestle or Cadbury chocolate bar. Chocolate is like the ultimate sin food. It’s bad for you if you eat it, and the production of it was likely bad for everyone involved, and the money goes to ghouls who just want more money.


  • Oh no, china won’t listen to us guys!

    “As a wayward economic actor, dumping electric cars in Western markets and threatening to withhold critical minerals needed by high-tech industries.”

    How dare they use their economic might to, checks notes, make electric cars affordable around the world? And also how dare they use the national resources they possess, don’t they know a corporation could more inefficiently make heaps of profits off them? If china actually fixes the problems of the world how will our multinational corporations make profit for doing nothing?

    Death to America and her allies.



  • Been playing mostly balatro and bits of monster hunter rise on ps5.

    I’ve beaten 19 challenges on balatro, but 20 is Jokerless which is so incredibly difficult. Deck manipulation is probably my weakest aspect of the game usually not coming online until ante 5 or 6. So I’m mostly working on beating some gold stake decks.

    Monster Hunter rise I’m trying to learn charge blade. I did everything on the switch version with dual blades and light bowgun. So trying to learn this on a fresh file should be fun. Mostly been trying to muscle memory the basic charge, and amp combos into discharges. Early monsters are so annoying for moving around way too much. But it’s fun as always.









  • Tim has all the money in the world and he looks worse dudes with no fucking money. I didn’t expect much from a guy who pairs a flintlock revolver with a wakizashi to pin on his wall, but come on tim you go to these places and pay people to make you look good.

    Of course he’s probably so god damn insufferable to deal with that anyone who gets assigned to help him, will half ass it just to get him out of the store as quickly as possible because all he’d be doing was talking out of his ass about how cool and awesome he is and how he’s gonna go hang out with Roger stone, like you know who Roger stone is right? Well let me tell you.

    God the horror.
