~~By this definition, performing a genocide is art.~~

Edit: I have been informed by replies, thank you.

By this definition, performing a genocide can be art.

Also, this post was art because I pissed off a bunch of people to the point that they were compelled to respond.

The Mad Lib type of writing.

"Today I learned that [enter service of company], they [enter bonus service/ product offered]."

It walks, swims and quacks like an ad.

The people are all that stands ....

No matter who you are, or where you are from, we can work together against the powers that be. Even small nudges from each person collect to a large force.

I may be missing something. Isn't the joke that it's a company run by Jewish people that escaped Nazi Germany only to return when the threat subsided?

Astrology and Scientology want to know your location.

"Wasn't it built so that the blade wouldn't fall off?"

these men need to communicate better

They need to ...

They need to ...

They need to ...

There's those bootstraps I was talking about.

... from my perspective.

Why not both? Benefit to women, and benefit to men.

This isn't a zero sum game.

The article title is bad, and should feel bad.

I just read the article. I must have missed the part where representatives of the supermarkets gave their support.

Edit: They based it on hearsay

The developer of a grocery price comparison app says supermarkets have responded positively to the online tool.

At the end of the article it was revealed that supermarkets are not good at helping developers of apps. So they undermine the premise of the title.

Wong said he would like to see supermarket vendors help app developers.

"I hope the vendors can provide a public interface for developers like me to build these kinds of third party apps to facilitate price comparisons and all other kinds of grocery activities there."

Also the following hypothetical doesn't make sense to me:

"They could have a consumer facing app where you can go and put your grocery list in. Then with AI and algorithms they can work out your best price and say we are placing the orders with these supermarkets.

"So you can get three deliveries from three different supermarkets with the best price. I believe that is something that will force all supermarkets to bring prices down."

Wouldn't three deliveries mean paying three shipping fees? Wouldn't those shipping fees eat up the possible savings?

Try the stories in Judges, thems were tough times and crazy stories. The Old Testament is especially metal because the Jesus story arc hadn't happened yet.

Judges 4:18-22 (NIV)

Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Come, my lord, come right in. Don’t be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.

“I’m thirsty,” he said. “Please give me some water.” She opened a skin of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him up.

“Stand in the doorway of the tent,” he told her. “If someone comes by and asks you, ‘Is anyone in there?’ say ‘No.’”

But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.

Just then Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him. “Come,” she said, “I will show you the man you’re looking for.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple—dead.

It’s a consequence of our capitalist society

It's more a consequence of place and purpose. If you're in a place and don't use it for the usual purpose, then your motives will be questioned. A store is place to get items. Even if there was no exchange of money, but you went into the store and walked out without anything, it would appear odd.

Go brush your teeth at a library, stand on a sidewalk for a long period of time, ride a bike through a mall. All these things don't cost money but they are still weird.
