A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit

Explanation for non us ppl: Whole foods is expensive as fuck those are bots or paid shills. Hence the Natural joke.
When Amazon bought Whole Foods, I had hoped they'd lower prices to a more reasonable level.
Nope. Still $8 for the same exact $3 product elsewhere.

Because people have their own styles of writing, and some people like the way they look/the rhythm they provide a sentence or paragraph.
I'm not kidding when I say to read some books. They're everywhere in actual literature.
no no, you misunderstand. I'm not talking about the verbal flourish of dashes for interjection - I use those all the time, in this very sentence - I'm specifically talking about producing the specific Unicode character (—) instead of just using the normal ASCII dash (-). the only way I can make the actual em-dash character is by long-pressing. if I do -- or ---, it's just a sequence of normal dash glyphs for me.

Because that's how typography works? Why do you capitalize the first letter in each of your sentences?
I actually don't.
it's the first thing I disable on my phone. I only capitalize "I" specifically, and proper nouns.again though, my issue is one with producing the Unicode character of the specific em-dash glyph. maybe some phones automatically convert dashes to em-dashes based on context but I personally wouldn't know how it's done.

Kinda wanna embrace our AI overlords ngl.
I'm gonna have a little chuckle when Skynet comes online and decides eating billionaires is the most efficient way to fix all the problems.

And debit and cash use still pay this price without the benefit.
Literally taking their money and giving it to credit card user as reward.
There is no justification for credit cards. Banks should do credit margins and transactions should be extremely cheap under a common system.Eh, for a lot of businesses, the few percent they pay in card fees is worth it to avoid handling large quantities of cash. Cash is a pain in the ass to actually work with on a large scale. Collecting it, counting it, securing it, keeping employees and random criminals from stealing it, etc. Plus lots of cash allows employees to steal from both the employer or the customer by giving bad change deliberately.
Not that businesses shouldn't accept cash, but there is a reason a lot of them don't want to mess with it. It's an enormous hassle.

Work two jobs? Fuck you. Want rest? Fuck you. Want healthy food? Fuck you. Taking care of someone? Fuck you. Need sleep? Fuck you.
My days pretty much consist entirely of work, chores, gym, spending time with my kid, and sleeping. If not for the flexibility I get from work, I don't think I'd ever be able to do groceries.

You do realize that the people you should be angry at make hundreds to thousands of times more than a person who can afford delivery apps makes, right? You have been fooled into hating your own class.
I'm not reading any anger in their message. Seems like a pretty innocent joke.

Who am I angry at?

... And feed the credit card issuers?
I'm not feeding them, the store is. My local worker owned grocery store doesn't accept credit cards. Not my favorite, but I don't pay cash back prices when I shop there.

I'm not saying back to cash, I'm saying near zero cost transaction with contactless smartcards.

Hello! What other measures you take? Use Gemini (the protocol?) Use I2P? Freenet?
Inquiring minds want to know!
