I guarantee any weirdo going "people of walmart" watching in the store is attracting looks from people literally just minding their business tho

Walmart's literal trainings when you work for them reference this by a different name. They call it "everyday low cost" and say that when they "get a volume discount from a supplier" they can "roll back prices" and they offer scenarios in which this happens which are identical to the process timeworntraveler is accurately describing. I worked there 5 years in many different positions around the store and made sure to learn everything I could and I can indeed confirm this is how Walmart works. It's actually a really easy to understand business model. For all its flaws and despite being quite dated the documentary "The High Cost of Low Price" https://www.bravenewfilms.org/walmartmovie from all the way back in 2005 is still a good explainer of how Walmart became so dominant as to be able to completely set prices for all aspects of its suppliers and often its labor market. I personally witnessed everyone on my team get a $3 raise overnight when Fred Meyer threatened to poach some of our employees as scab labor to fight their union which was on strike. Now I am a union worker set to make a couple bucks more an hour than I did at Walmart but they always try to keep it competitive.

You dont get it bro it's called EDLC which drives EDLP, lower prices for everyone /sarcasm

Nah, it used to be back in the days the logo had a smiley face, it was the place for affordable abundance. Ever since I worked there 5 years though I see the whole body of the beast for what it is, and the parts you're not seeing are super ugly on like every level from produce bags chopped by prisoners in Salinas to sexual harassment of stockers by good ol boy management on the overnight team

That's the shittest department to pawn him off on lol, auto doesn't even make a profit, it's a dog to get people in and stuck shopping while they wait. I think they must have done it to get him canned because tech and service writer were super high turnover in my market because you need actual skill to do it right and the job doesn't pay enough if you do. I personally used to roll on Douglases and get all my oil changes there because of employee discount but only because the auto techs were all attending the nearby technical school and working with a degree of pride guaranteed by their TL who ran a tight ship, I trusted her, women who can thrive in that environment have to both know their shit and be tough lol.

yes I'm boy a nonbinary entity and I was raised on tofu so actualmente la verdad es que no soy boy

False, the phytoestrogens in beer are far more bioavailable, but also the animal estrogen in beef.

The one chiming in to defend a cringe meme. Grow up lmao

Post cringe to cope about people pointing out a meme is shitty snd let everyone know you're butthurt

It's an incel meme, this kind of shit is the very valid and rational reason that women avoid them

Cope snd seethe harder

What a freaky little beast lol I wonder how it decides which larva gets to nut and which one is forever alone

Lol @ snopes spending time to go through and debunk the blogspam story that sounds like it was written by an LLM

The Trojan horse is actually the one on the right, this scene takes place in the stables of Troy where this one stallion with a giantess fetish took the wooden mare as his mate

Seems historically accurate given the level of radiation exposure a lot of the nuclear scientists got

Invites are really common on other sites now that a critical mass has been reached where people have invited everyone they know who is interested already and are like selling them, there are already accounts that farm engagement on there like "funny cat pics of the day" or something and it will indeed have some cat pics taken from wherever but the point of the account is to follow thousands of accounts to get followed back, and thereby build a following to sell off. It's an extremely clumsy strategy but it's being pursued often enough that you can't just assume a bluesky account isn't a bad actor. So if that is the threshold then it's already been reached.

If you attempt to shitpost on Mastodon things don't usually go very well. The vibe had to match twitter circa 2013 or else it would never have felt safe enough for the first colonizing species of memes like alf hog to develop like the first plants in a lava field

It's called the gay community

A lot of journalists are really bad at using the machine they use to do their job and it shows.

Also what do you have against blind people

Have you been on bluesky? There's lots of furries there

If you go on Bluesky they will tell you. Lots of people saying that they feel isolated because there is no algorithm feeding engagement, and federation doesn't lend itself to finding your friends from Twitter easily without one of those migration tools people were using. Then another chunk describe Mastodon users as a "HOA" because someone told them to put a CW on something.

What a name lol

The kelp beds are dying and drones are being used to track how fast they're dying

Fake Bad Bunny tickets got the only zoomer I know, she was out $200, but that's not a great sanple size.

No hay nada mal en ser gay. Pero así piensan los cristo-fascistas en los estados unidos también. Piensan que ser gay es un pecado de que se puede salvar. Y piensan lo mismo como pedofilia, piensan que son lo mismo entonces defienden los pedofilos en la iglesia.

Floating point operations with decimals not always adding up

Oh no heaven forfend they take their heavy roadblocks out of narrow SF streets

Parece semejante a Trump en este manera

Eso es decir el variedad Cavendish, o sea que él tiene ganas de algo más grande?

I ended up with a refurbished air 2S

I got a 90 and basically just did the workbook that ASA sells for like $17, comes with 5 practice tests. I also watched the Pilot Institute videos, and Mr. Mig's classroom.

Pienso como estadounidense que es maldito hijo de puta pero no se si el les cae como alguien relevante o que

I once ate at a residence hall cafeteria where they had these fuckin bagel guillotines that you basically positiones your bagel in as if it was the head of a hapless French aristocrat and you could be all like vive le revolución and chop those fuckers. But they'd all seen so many bagels without sharpening that they required great strength to slice through a chewy bagel. In fact they probably slowed down the process.

The moral of the story is that bagels are hard to slice on a large scale.

I buy all my monitors on Craigslist because I am broke as hell and people unload 1080p monitors with chunky bezels cheaply

Terrible and obvious bait but I am wondering why you picked those movies they're both pretty old and there are newer examples of universally low rated movies than Click

I was just a kid but Australian kids were super mean in my experience, like pretty vicious if you showed vulnerability.

I am just going to say that I am well acquainted with both conditions of SoCal but I think it's still a stereotype

You're not going to get quality answers here but it might get you started. You will get broad strokes that obscure a lot of difference. If you want to go deeper there are many directions to go in. For example you will want to think about whose perspective you're looking at cultural regions from, because the subsection of the American population you're talking about matters due to segregation, different migration patterns, etc. If you are talking very mainstream dominant culture then I would personally look up US historical trends of waves of colonialism spreading West and events like the Trail of Tears, Louisiana Purchase, Spanish-American War, amongst others that were really big in the establishment of cultural differences. A good chunk of the different cultural regions correspond to bioregions and the culture of the people who were genocided so settlers could take their land. The grease trail is a good marker for cascadia as a cultural region IMO. But the white supremacist settler idea of the "american redoubt" roughly tracks the same region. Cultural regions in the USA are subject to cultural imaginings, it's a lot less regulated than in Europe with your DOCs.

The density of different cultural regions varies by region with population density and degree of diverse migration. For example, the diner culture of New Jersey is something unique in itself, or so I hear. You get wacky foods like skyline chili or the pizza of Altoona, PA or architecural flourishes like the free-standing basement toilets of Pittsburgh. Random ass cities will have their own long standing cultural thing in the states "back east" where the majority of settler Americans live. Whereas the state of Oregon is the size of the UK & contains maybe three cultural regions if you include the state of Jefferson which is kind of just neoconfederate crankery.

But basically I think the whole question you're asking can't be summed up quickly and understanding it requires understanding a lot of history, geography, and politics to get why this country is as fucked and fabulous as it is. Like I could rattle off a TLDR of stereotypes of regions like the rainy PNW, polluted and expensive California, the snowy Rockies, the sunny Southwest, the corn covered flat Plains, the behemoth Texas. The "midwest" is somewhere between the plains and the Great Lakes Region, which bleeds into mid-atlantic to the east and new England to the NE & the South to the SE. On the eastern seaboard you got new England, mid atlantic/DelMarVa, then the South then Florida which is its own beast but also contains multiple regions. But even this is oversimplifying leaving out regions like the Big Thicket between Texas and Arkansas and Appalachia, which stretches between multiple regions as defined by states but is definitely its own cultural region, as is Acadia.

TL;DR: tough question, maybe not the right one, depends on who you ask.

& you are correct about airspace being regulated. Just because an ultralight doesn't require a license doesn't mean you can just fly it anywhere with no training on how to get airspace clearance either. I imagine they will eventually develop something like an automated version of the LAANC clearance process for drone pilots, but it will take a while to develop the regulations for sure, if they even get that far.
