there's something legitimately sad about big box b&m like kmart and such dying

they brought it on themselves by having a lovely online presence and amazon eating everyone's lunch but shopping online while convenient feels so lifeless

Zero of you have actually read Dawkins recently, you've forgotten that the books were pretty high quality interesting academic poo poo. Who gives a gently caress what he's like in person or online. One lovely ego doesn't mean everyone who agrees with his academic work is poison or is someone who namedrops atheism all the time.

I want to go to the grocery store but sundays are the loving worst and it's probably double up because of labor day.

I did all my stuff this morning while those suckers were at church

the gas station had king size Whatchamacallit candy bars on sale so that's dinner, along with half a can of Beer Nuts

Defining meme is only the second thing I remember Dawkins for, the first being the honey tweet and the third being the We Are All Africans shirt

Also I don't think anyone was throwing his entire body of work under the bus (whether it deserves to or not idk I haven't read any) and I dunno if saying he's a dipshit dope for his Nu Atheism stuff implies that

my dad always waited till the last minute so i have fun memories of going with him to buy christmas gifts for my little brother the night he got his bonus and getting some food at a 24/hr diner

i buy a ton of poo poo on amazon these days, but it definitely feels like buying poo poo is less of a tactile experience and interesting way to drop some cash or even just some time if you browsed and window shopped. the transactions have become more transactional, if that even makes any sense.

there's a good point in the kmart video though, which is really it's that they just all feel old and stale and gross. target is the first equivalent i think of that still does so well because they're generally all really nice, well organized, and their bright color scheme doesn't feel depressing as poo poo

walmarts mostly look like poo poo (although generally organized) but i think it's mostly just their sheer size and market momentum

yeah, that's the thing about meatspace shopping, it's highly dependant on :decorum: to get you into the spend zone

there's an offbrand grocery store here that doesn't even loving try, maintenance is horrible, the floors are filthy, the shelves are always half empty, i only go there to buy meats on sale sometimes.

Aldi and Walmart have taken a "slop in the trough" approach to volume hocking consumer goods, and that's basically where we all are fine with it for now until Amazon takes over everything and we just get individual items droned into our window ports
