I doubt it. The alt-right isn't going away and is steadily getting older.

The future of the GOP is probably less religious, but they're no less racist, sexist, and FYGM/HENRY.

Yeah, I always figured gen-x or gen-y or the millennials (not sure which one of those I'm in) would go left

Nah, we did. I sincerely believe that majority of the young voting blocs do lean left, but there were a couple things at play going into the election (that part has been re-ligated endlessly, so let's leave it at that). It's just that neo-nazis are REALLY loud. That, or it's just subconscious bias talking. You don't notice the street lights are there (read: the left) until one burns out or is flickering (neo-nazis).

It's the older generations not dying off like they need to. Right now we have Silent, Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials all at once. The Boomers just refuse to realize that they're dying and are just going to burn the house down rather than relinquish it to anyone else.

I think it varies by state, but I think normal protocol is supposed to be either get them to volunteer to put it back, or call the cops when they leave. I can't watch the video with sound at work, and the auto subtitles are garbage. Can someone explain to me whether this guy had reason to believe the woman stole? Is this another race thing?

I once had a wal-mart lp dude try to stop me to search my cart on the way out and he kept moving to stand in front of me and reach into my cart. I told him that if he didn't let me leave, I would call the police for illegally detaining me and if he touched any of my purchased items that was theft and that if he feels I am a thief he can call the police and I'd deal with them. I then walked out. He probably just didn't want to deal with my bullshit.

Not so much pivoting, but that what was considered progressive in your grandparents' day (say interracial marriage) becomes the norm and then the kids want gay marriage and grandpa and grandma are like "now wait a goldurn minute"

That's SOP at Costco

The people at the exit compare your receipt with what's in your cart.




The good thing I can say about Costco is that they pay their employees a living wage. Some of their bulk items are cheaper than buying them at another store and some are a rip-off. Nevertheless they treat their workers well.

Very much unlike wal*mart

What we lost over the years was worker's rights. Social issues like legalization of weed, gay marriage, getting your transgender on your driver's license are mostly okay now.

People like Mitt Romney are all about destroying factories.

And then Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati and some other east-coast cities were wrecked from neglect purely on the issue of racial hatred.

Those weren't accidents and there is no freud hearing their stories.

I'm sure the GOP would like to nuke Chicago as well.

You're still thinking two or perhaps 3 dimensions, pooping indoors yes but not in a bathroom or even a toilet. China is playing 4d chess compared to your simplistic 2.5d checkers with their making GBS threads game. Potted plants, fountains, hallways, garbage cans, anywhere is fair game, indoors or outdoors, up or down, in or out at any point in both time or space.

Those are the probable reasons, but the extinction happened so fast that nobody expected it, it took place as an unintended byproduct of other changes rather than a real extermination campaign.

That is loving horseshit because most of the entomology departments in land-grant universities in the USA were explicitly founded to exterminate locusts and there are many ways by which they were intentionally eradicated. Don't read loving wiki articles for information.

At Costco you explicitly agree to having your purchases and bags checked on the way out when you buy a membership and shop there.

FWIW in Canada, LP can detain you, but they have to have seen you with their own eyes take something off a shelf and then leave the store, and you have to have been in line of sight the entire time. And even then they can only call you out on not paying; if you give the item back it's not theft and they no longer have a reason to detain you.

Everyone acknowledges that various groups wanted to exterminate the locusts and tried various methods to deal with them.

The disagreement is over whether the extinction can be traced directly to these efforts or not.
