Comment I am terrible at faces (Score 1) 28

Even 20 minutes later I wouldn't remember jack about the person's face or even what they were wearing. I see on TV all the time "suspect was last seen wearing a red sweater and corduroy pants" .. like I could never remember shit to that level unless they were wearing a something really ridiculous. At a conference earlier this year I met someone who I wanted to follow up with later, but then I couldn't remember exactly what he looked like even the next day and went up to the wrong person twice. It was a bit embarrassing. And no it's not early stage Alzheimer's .. I've been like that forever.

Comment Re: BNPL groceries = groceries on credit cards (Score 1) 90

There's apparently only one large American supermarket chain that DOESN'T take credit cards, WinCo.

I do most of my shopping there, at Grocery Outlet, and at Costco. I actually do more shopping at grossout, because they are the closest thing that doesn't suck. We have a local market and mini-market, and I'm not a big fan of either one. (The market is somewhere around "OK", the mini market is disappointing.) I got Costco's card honestly just to get fuel quicker as the card is a membership card, and it's convenient for me to stop in there on my way to work.

Winco is an employee-owned co-op, and their pricing seems to be dynamic in general and the prices actually go back down, so I'm really happy with them. Grocery Outlet has beer I want to drink and high quality local dairy products, and an interesting and ever-changing stock of weird shit, and neither of the local ones are scuzzy. I have a chest freezer...

Just remember next time you hear about unemployment going up while you eat your burger that you're not getting food poisoning because of regulations and that it has nothing to do with jobs.

Of course it does. It doesn't have to do with just one thing. Keeping the machine spinning is the reason why even heartless fucks should be interested in workers' needs being met, if they weren't idiots. But that's the problem with such people, if you're smart then you realize that you don't want to live in a world of shit.

"I'm against AI slop as much as anyone, and in general a fan of regulation, but this really is something that should be solved by the market. If people don't want AI slop, let them not buy it"

This isn't about the slop. If you're a fan of regulation, and saving jobs isn't a good enough reason for you, wait you're not actually a fan.
