once you get to a certain amount I think it counts as an additional tenant, so cough up the $$$

I wanted to fact check this a bit so I found the original article and holy poo poo am I glad I did.

Does anyone see something a little odd here?


quote:

1. CAVALCANTE WAS GIVEN CPR BUT COULDN’T BE SAVED.It’s incredibly sad that he passed away, and while it’s true that transporting him outside of the store wouldn’t have brought him back, it would have least provided him and his family with more dignity than to leave him in the middle of the supermarket behind cases of beer and sun umbrellas.

2. CUSTOMERS THANKFULLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON.Many just assumed employees were in the midst of setting up a new display or that perhaps the boxes were containing something that had spilled or broken. It’s probably better they didn’t know that there was a dead body under there. However, a few people did catch on.

3. SPONSORED: THE BEST DATING/RELATIONSHIPS ADVICE ON THE WEB. Check out Relationship Hero a site where highly trained relationship coaches get you, get your situation, and help you accomplish what you want. They help you through complicated and difficult love situations like deciphering mixed signals, getting over a breakup, or anything else you’re worried about.

4. PHOTOS OF THE SCENE WERE SPREAD ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA.People were angry at the way Carrefour and its employees had dealt with the situation and the way they’d treated Cavalcante, with one person writing, “An employee dies at a Carrefour in Brazil. The store just covered the body with umbrellas and boxes so they could stay open while they wait for someone to take him away. This is capitalism.” Another added, “A worker died in a Carrefour supermarket in Recife, which covered up his body to remain open. Welcome to Brazil in the year 2020.”

5. CARREFOUR HAS SINCE ISSUED AN APOLOGY.While nothing can erase the way they handled the situation, Carrefour has apologized. “The company made a mistake by not closing the store immediately after what happened, as well did not find the correct way to protect Mr Moses’ body,” they wrote. “We reinforce that as soon as the sales prooter started to feel sick, we did the first aid and we activated SAMU, following all protocols for performing relief quickly. After the death, we followed the instruction not to remove the body from the place.” They promised that in future, they would close stores if something like this happened.

it sure is tragic how his death was given no dignity or space from the relentless drive of profit. if you're going through tough times, you should consider an online counselling session with therapy.com. they've helped me through some really tough times, and if you sign up now, you get three free sessions. it seems like nothing is sacred now and there's no room for anything but the market to breath.

I just went to check in on this because I hadn't seen a thing about the body being retrieved but turns out it was finally recovered like two loving weeks ago. It was there for nearly a year.

Oh good they have a video where they confuse people on the street with it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNSQ6GnSYjA

I like how everyone's reaction is just kinda "uhh... it's good I guess??"

Also if a man stops you on the street and asks if you want to "try our air" I think the correct response is to run.

e: Also some of those people are clearly already on a mountain why do they need a can of mountain air??

See if they were smart they'd sell specialty air.

Want to know what it smells like to be in the middle of a wildfire? We got an air for that. Wanna jerk off to pictures of Elon Musk while breathing air from the space station that kinda smells vaguely gross because it's been up there for 20+ years now? Sure. Gamer girl house air that we secretly collected when she wasn't home? You better believe it.

Honestly I've smelled a module that came back from the space station that they just have sitting in a corner of one of the hangars at the space center and judging by that everything up there really does have a weird smell. I bet nerds would pay a lot of money to smell that weird smell. Who wants to invest in my startup, I project 20 billion valuation within 6 months.

astronauts say that smelling a surface recently exposed to the vacuum has a distinctly burnt, gunpowdery, hot metal smell

there's a buncha weird effects that the vacuum has on the airlock materials which could be responsible, like vacuum cementing/cold welding particulates and causing outgassing of trace elements in addition to the temperature extremes of space


iirc chris hadfield says it smells like burnt steak
