Nothing, it's just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.

It's ok, I'm excited that you're excited.

Yeah I really hate it when they give you self checkout but make everything function way way worse than what the cashier uses. I've never even considered shoplifting before but I've come pretty close on machines that refuse to scan because they're stuck on something 5 items ago when I'm moving quickly. Especially if it still beeps when I scan new items but refuses to actually scan it because it's hung up on something that it was slow to get the weight of -- really throws me off. It's not my job to baby your machine for you. I'm not getting paid for it. Just let me scan my shit and go.

No it's not working. I can't see your post. None of us can, we were just playing along. Anyway, sorry to have to be the one to inform you.

The developers of Lemmy are the type who have jumped the shark when it comes to leftism.

Even when Susan is taking a huge cart through, a single queue for multiple service providers (self checkout) is always going to be theoretically more efficient than multiple queues - one per provider (one line for each cashier). The best of both worlds are places that have a single area to corral you into line, and a row of cashiers where you can go to the first available.

The other thing is that they typically ban you for life, which is harsher even than our legal system. As a society we've agreed that it's possible to pay your debt to society, but private companies have no obligation to see things that way. It's like we've taken rules to deal with trolls in an old school Counter Strike server and tried to extend them to something that resembles a corporatocracy. It's a lot different and more meaningful to get banned from service provided by a monopolistic company compared to getting banned from your local bar, for example, when you can just go across town to the other one.

I brought up this community on the ffxiv discord, and I think I managed to convince at least 1 person that lemmy is a pretty cool idea.

Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.

I usually give my comm to whoever's doing well on the imaginary leader board and moving the run along quickly.

You're not allowed to be mild mannered you idiot. Them's the rules. Now engage me in ill intentioned banter. We will meet at dawn.

Can I still subscribe to Beehaw communities from lemmy.world? I'd rather try to keep things under one account for now, and I'm fine not being able to post or comment.

It would be nice also to be able to browse other instances while logged into your home instance account so that you can find communities that you might not otherwise know about and subscribe directly.

Wait they are on / . these days? Yeah it's been forever since I visited that site.

I was there yesterday!

I think part of the problem is that certain factions tend to be, as a whole, antithetical to open minded good faith engagement. The other part is that if you express a view too close to the views of one of those factions then people (reasonably) take shortcuts and use mental heuristics to determine that you're not worth engaging with. The result is that it's difficult to find common ground, especially on the internet where some (many) people are truly not acting in good faith.

I agree with you Dr. Jackson, it would feel kind of like signing up for an MMO, and they usually just suggest you a server to roll a new character on. Once they sign up people will start to understand the whole "having a home server" thing. Honestly doesn't seem to different from a modern MMO that has cross server travel, etc.
