In many ways Walmart is worse that target. They specifically will go to a town, annihilate its local economy and leave as soon as it becomes slightly inconvenient to their profit expectations.

Not to mention the PR on search engines trying to tell people searching that Walmart is not a net negative for tax payers when a lot of their employees are on social programs. Of they are not paying the taxes, we are. Fuck them.

Someone doesn't understand that the emails are flagged after users mark them as spam enough times.

Or value, or XYZ whatever is largest.

I think the point of the comment you replied to was that you will live until said ages potentially, but the quality of life in the last decade or so will be very poor. Growing up in a society where men drink a lot more than women (at least in my grand parents generation) I can tell you that you will likely also die from alcohol abuse sooner (generally heart attack or diabetes, but that last one also has genetic accelerants), but it is true that the last few years are not pretty.

Edit: when abusing alcohol heavily.

They are constructing a fisher price GOLD Tesla for trump as we speak no doubt. To be delivered in person awkwardly for some PR video Apple style.

We just need tucking trains and public transport in cities. Rural areas are under separate requirements. It's that easy, but we've built cities for failure for a while now. We "send our prayers" each time a kid biking to school is run over and then complain when the number of lanes on the freeway is not expanded to accommodate the ever increasing number of cars or speed limits don't allow for deadlier crashes because our commute from a poorly designed suburb to a poorly designed city increases by 5 minutes.

Edit: rant is not directed at you. Just frustrated with the US in general when looking at the needs of the general population.

Or built for a different market, like 90s Hondas/Nissans etc. which assumed every country was as safe as Japan when it came to car theft. Nowadays its mostly profit driven. Security is not cheap and can add it's own set of headaches (security vs convenience).

Edit: Nissan still sucked at it from what I remember hearing of those and some kias being the main target near where we lived.

You didn't buy the upgraded package the stereo told you about, that's why: https://www.newsweek.com/stellantis-dodge-car-drivers-adverts-pop-ups-2045033

I also made it about 2 paragraphs and had to go back and read more to double check. It felt like one of those recipe websites that starts with a story of their grandmother migrating from Italy, several more paragraphs and some titled sections that still don't have much info. Except there was not much of a payoff on this one. Could not tell for how long to cook the salmon because I lost interest, don't care of ai wrote it or not.

Depends how it's handled. If its just a gag and you show investors a shiny graph with a line going up (# of toilet paper holders went up this week!), it could work.

E.g.: in some of the roller coaster tycoon games, you could fire staff, but it wasn't necessarily a core mechanic.
