Time to retire that term. Being “politically correct” in the US clearly means being a bigoted Christian white nationalist, judging by the most recent election.

Don’t remember. All I know is that the average time I’ve spent waiting for when doing self-check is shorter than the average time waiting when not.

Self-checkout has almost always been faster for me. No bullshit narrative, just actual experience.

“My condolences.”

This comment is not a guarantee of sympathy. Sympathy must be reviewed for necessity before determination of it can be established.

THIS IS WRONG. Death hesitated. I MEAN…IT’S RIGHT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT. BUT YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT HAVING. THERE’S NO POINT IN BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING NOTHING.

Prophetic scene from the movie.

(He actually said “people,” not “humans,” though.)

Be bred for 30,000 years to be dopey and compliant

The roads autobahn?

The fact that almost every price for everything everywhere is like this is pretty compelling evidence that it works.

While not wrong, Japan is an especially bad country to compare that to.

I can’t disagree.

Fascist governments always collapse eventually because of loyalty over competence, but the thought of the damage a powerful country like the US would do before that collapse is terrifying.

Fascism was defeated because of the Allies, led by the US, the country with the most powerful military in the world by a large margin. Who’s going to defeat the US if it goes full fascist?

I still remember seeing that movie in the theater with my grandmother and hearing her quietly exclaim things like “oh my” throughout the whole thing.

Who rinses things to remove bacteria? I just want to remove dirt.

As if human care about future consequences.

The dead-eyed, plastic-faced one. You know which one I mean.
