Or simply the lack of tolerance for people who are trying to speak another language. So many Americans only speak one language and then they get all indignant when people around them don’t speak two or three!!

Well, it costs a lot more. It’s cheaper to do it they way they do. And, if they preprinted the receipts, the specials A. Could not be tailored to the individual making the purchase and B. Could not change as frequently as they like.
To do a custom print on something like that is cost prohibitive without producing huge quantities.

Not if they want a dynamic print. Most receipts are printed on thermal paper, so they don’t use ink but heat to print text. The paper has to be coated in order to be reactive. It costs more to get the equipment that can print two sides and paper that is coated on two sides than it does to just print extra paper.
Generally when you see receipts with print on both sides, one side is a repeating pattern that is printed on the paper with ink before it is spooled and the dynamic/variable content is printed on the thermal sensitive side.

Those values are good for some people. And you should go ahead and live by them. Not everyone feels that way. We don’t live in the same world that developed those values.
We need representation of broad perspectives because your beliefs and values matter, and so do mine.

It is a problem because it is not balanced. The wisdom and knowledge of older and more experienced people is invaluable. However, the fresh perspective that comes from gathering knowledge during is also invaluable.
We need the perspectives of older people and we also need the perspectives of younger people. Both are vital. That is the problem with the model.

Y’all, that’s so adorable.

Well, I do wear a mask. But it is not protecting my health because the mask doesn’t prevent the wearing from getting sick, it prevents the wearer from passing on sickness.
You wear the mask to respect others. This disease has a 14 day incubation period. If you get sick, it may be up to 14 days before you notice it. During that time, you can infect someone else. If you wear a mask, you are less likely to pass the disease on. That is why punishing a non-wearer makes any sense. They have proven that they don’t care about spreading the disease.

No, it’s not for *your* protection. It’s for protection of the group.
That’s the thing. The mask doesn’t protect you (unless it’s a respirator); it protects those around you. So putting people who refuse to comply in jail isn’t because the are risking their health, it’s because they are risking everyone else’s health.
So agreed jail is a bad solution in a pandemic, but what is a good way to get people to comply with this very basic safety measure?

In the US, there are regulations regarding the use of “organic” but they are pretty arbitrary and mostly dumb.

That’s my question! How did this happen!!

It could be an open open league. Not male, not female, not trans. Just all/any players.

There’s a company called ship a dick that will send a giant cardboard penis, anonymously, to your intended recipient.
Also, apparently a company that will anonymously send potatoes.

What i think is so wild is that she really believes this. Believes it so hard she made this sign to go wave around at people. And you know people said, those numbers don’t add up to 19 and she just kept ignoring them.

It’s a pirate thing. That’s why pirates are always depicted with big gold earrings. The gold was intended to be enough to pay for the coffin.
