Do you have a story for that? I love corporations sabotaging themselves because its proof the inevitable contradictions in capitalism will eventually cause it to eat itself.

If you mean the kmart part, I got confused and it was actually Sears. He also owned Kmart and ruined that, but the ridiculous retail cannibalism part was with Sears.

https://nypost.com/2018/10/15/how-eddie-lampert-led-sears-into-bankruptcy-disaster/


quote:

Lampert, meanwhile, had been jumping from one oddball turnaround strategy to the next. He obsessed over competing with Amazon, but refused to spend big on Sears’ web business. After proposing and ditching a number of new store formats, Lampert quietly divided Sears Holdings into more than 30 different corporate silos, encouraging the head of each to compete for resources with the others, “Hunger Games”-style.

It sounded like something out of a novel by Ayn Rand, the capitalist philosopher whose 1943 novel “The Fountainhead” became the namesake of Lampert’s 288-foot yacht.

You have to go in to the UBO app, clear the cache and then update it, and that usually throws youtube off for a bit. Youtube is getting good at detecting ad blockers but UBO tends to be quicker updating their scripts. Like I said, literal whack-a-mole

edit: UBO subreddit is super helpful

I got the no adblocking warning once weeks ago, updated UBO's lists and then haven't seen it since :shrug: I'm pretty happy about somehow avoiding all the bullshit tbh, but annoyingly enough ever since then SALR has been half-broken so I have to refresh the page to get it to work. I got tripped up by it literally just now trying to make this post since it didn't pop up the quick reply box like I'm used to. Incredibly minor but still a nuisance.

I get the No Adblock warning on my decade old smart tv, which cannot install extensions at all. When I saw that I knew I was safe to keep adblocking, because Google is clearly far too bad at this to differentiate between adblock and unusual user agents.

Then again I used and liked old Hangouts, Grand Central, and the Calendar API, (among others) as did a lot of other people. They're all gone. At this point Google surprises me when they announce that they're not kneecapping themselves and murdering a popular thing.

Geese are like cops - sometimes they let you pass, but other times they go balls to the wall and peck the poo poo out of you because they haven't pecked anyone else lately. Gotta get that peck quota in!

I walked past a massive group of Canada Geese on a beach in Sweden last summer. What a bunch of hissy bastards.

I've never felt as threatened and I've received detailed death threats from desperate and armed men.

Going to be honest I think I could kill 4 geese no problem in unarmed combat but after 4 I think I'd get overwhelmed. I think really once the geese get a mass of over 120 lbs its a hard fight.

I think the power stays in you, in your bones. If you never poop though you'd have the power of person + fractional goose + all that poop, so it's not an altogether terrible idea. Human poop has felled entire civilizations, after all.

I would simply not fight the birds because my fat rear end is indoors and they can't operate doorknobs. Big Bird is not a goose and therefore his ability to do so is irrelevant.
