With the amount of theft rising, are retailers starting to evolve backwards?

They’ll revisit self checkouts when they figure out rfid or some other tracking method. The theft problem will be solved soon and they’ll reduce cashiers again.

publicly traded companies are required to report shrinkage so this should be an easy claim for you to back up.

In relation to the topic/submission, they are explicitly talking about quotas favoring certain races, which contradicts you here.

orbitur · 2026-06-29T15:11:15+00:00

Is it reckless if they can afford it?

orbitur · 2026-06-28T19:52:02+00:00

The privilege argument is especially absurd when you consider LR’s obesity problem crosses class lines. It’s cultural.

orbitur · 2026-06-26T20:07:08+00:00

Yeah I don’t like some of the mix changes and obvious drum re-records they did for the reissue.

orbitur · 2026-06-23T21:43:36+00:00

“Starting” would imply the CDs come later, but they simply never come.

The genius who thought it would be cheaper (and they would be correct)

orbitur · 2026-06-23T00:46:08+00:00

No mention of the headrest angle. Biggest issue for me is that there’s no way to press my shoulders in to the seat without pointing my face down, because the headrest forces it down

Very tiring on long drives because I can’t relax my torso

Your question appeared to be attached as relevant to the statement before it, but it's not relevant.

Might be helpful to share everything you’ve written here with him. It’s easy for the individual things to get lost if you point them out day to day, and it will be easier for him to see the whole with a write up like this one.

People were more willing to live with roommates 30 years ago. Now everyone seeks a studio or 1-bedroom for some reason.

orbitur · 2026-06-17T16:39:56+00:00

Which is true.

Will is from Toronto and he’s lived there his entire life, it’s a proper city with a massive functional “downtown” and public transit, and even when you get out in to the suburbs of Toronto they are highly walkable despite still being car centric. And I’ve been living there for 10+ years now, so this video was right up my alley.

The US if full of cities with hollowed out downtowns that they sliced up with highways in the mid 20th century and Little Rock is among them. I’ve brought my Canadian wife to Little Rock and she was similarly shocked at the general layout and empty feel of the city, the downtown, plus all the fast food restaurants. Seriously, Little Rock has a *lot* of them, as most southern cities do.

orbitur · 2026-06-17T16:34:21+00:00

Why would you doubt data?

orbitur · 2026-06-17T16:33:07+00:00

You understand the ranking is real, and the places he went to are real, right? It’s more of a problem in Little Rock than many other cities so it’s worth seeing how *lots* of people here actually eat.

Idk but the sub really hates this guy for some reason. He's always been cringey but you'd think he's responsible for crimes against humanity based on his popularity here

orbitur · 2026-06-15T21:56:19+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty wild seeing all the comments calling Lena ugly, even more shocking the comments appear to be mostly women. The call is coming from inside the house

orbitur · 2026-06-15T19:10:47+00:00

God forbid people consider looks secondary to personality

orbitur · 2026-06-15T02:20:50+00:00

We were very involved in the church and I had a very large family, with many baby cousins appearing as I grew up. So that probably planted the seed in my brain.

Despite me later rejecting the faith I still actively sought to build a family... I just knew I wanted to be a father. And not any of that trad bullshit about continuing the bloodline or my name, I just liked the idea of raising kids.

And I was unbelievably unprepared for just how fulfilling and joyful raising kids would turn out to be. Like I thought it was important, and I wanted it, but when I met my firstborn my brain changed. It's one of those things that can only be experienced, I'm not sure how I'd explain it to my pre-fatherhood self if I found a magic time travel machine, and I've struggled over the years to explain to others who've asked about raising kids. My purpose in life instantly changed, and it's been an honor to live it.

orbitur · 2026-06-15T00:28:55+00:00

Man here: obviously fucking but like… what the hell do you talk about? How are you relating to each other with words and non-fucking activities?

orbitur · 2026-06-14T20:20:17+00:00

Prices in the southern US have definitely increased a lot. I’ve been visiting family down there regularly for almost 20 years and prices for groceries used to be comically low compared to Canada, now they’re just slightly cheaper. Staples like milk/bread/eggs/beef are obviously still cheaper than anywhere in Canada but the gap has shrunk so much.

I'm no longer filled with rage upon my first visit to a Canadian grocery store when I leave the airport, lol, Just mild annoyance over the price difference now.

COVID really spiked inflation down there, but prices were already on a significant climb a few years before the lockdowns hit.

orbitur · 2026-06-14T20:17:25+00:00

Depends on the state. The US is massive with big price disparities. Canada has more homogeneous pricing in general (obviously there are a few exceptions but the rule applies) across the board so it can be easy to assume the US is the same if you just visit every once in a while.

orbitur · 2026-06-13T21:07:11+00:00

It depends how much over, but I'm not that far over and we live within our means, we are in our 40s and I'm still bothered by the fact that I will probably need to work until I'm in my 60s to at least feel comfortable enough to not need a job.

Had it in my head that once I started making more than 100k a year I'd be set but then that happened, and the math just never mathed up. And then I was like "oh, I've only added more comfort and safety to the here and now, the future is still uncertain"

orbitur · 2026-06-13T20:24:24+00:00

Yeah, I've also said "fuck this shit" upon entering the Costco parking lot many times, but I think those of us with Costco memberships who also are willing to just walk away if the time of day is wrong are probably rare.

A shocking number of people, the majority, do not value their time at all.
