As one who has been on both sides, It can happen dozens of times a day without notice, and I’ve never had the thought, but occasionally you will get the sense that a cashier has noticed you have just spent more than they make in a week.

If someone does your business the courtesy of paying for a catalog of your wares, return the courtesy of not sending them daily emails saying ‘Did you order yet huh did you order yet?’

Consider it this way- if your business was walk in, & not selling a daily necessity, how often would you expect a loyal customer to come in? Once a week perhaps? As new inventory arrives for the week? Perhaps that is reasonable- daily almost never is.

People don’t buy a new pair of pants every day of the week.

But what throws me as much as a redeem can be my pattern being broken up by those who do not know what they are looking for. If they block an aisle, I move on, then it turns out the reason I visited the grocery was in the aisle so ‘blocked’.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I haven’t seen Starfleet academy, but was thought it was a good idea back when it was floated as a next move around 25 years ago. How bad could it be? Also, I think most trek fans fail to see the dystopia of the ideal trek future- starfleet can be seen as militaristic indentured servitude paid in invisible bitcoin.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social There is a lot of apps grandfathered in just because they have been around so long and have had such a large user base. Many that have used that historical reputation to morph into something that might not pass app approval now. They have already passed, when they were good apps, and not evil. They no longer get attention or scrutiny. They are considered legacy and don’t get questioned. Neither do ripoff and copycat apps.

General cowardice from what they perceive as the powers that be, and ‘proper capitalism’ 4. A generation living outside the notion of equal time and the fairness doctrine

@flargh@mastodon.social I use mine so little I was wondering why I didn’t get a password reset spam. I have a time or two in the past, gotten a notice that someone requested a password reset that if this wasn’t you ignore this mail. Which I ignored. Meta wants me to use IG and threads, I only have UG to get threads, because I thought I may have to as a Twitter replacement, have a Bluesky account I don’t use either.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I do remember, it sort of existing as an underlying tension that might be teased but but would quickly make a left turn away from that. That is, I don’t remember it approaching Gatsby Green Light lingering pining for the fiords in screen minutes. It’s been over 15 years since I watched. I was watching DVD collections simultaneous to new episode release, I came to the show late. More interesting than the film I thought, always.

@flargh@mastodon.social When Walter retired, I was hoping for Roger Mudd. Mudd probably knew something about his own health then that helped the decision go to Dan Rather. I did not like Rather then, I thought his own ego was a bit more involved in his reporting. I am fine with Rather and respect him now. News really died with a couple of laws in the mid-90s with equal time, fair balanced laws removed and conglomeration encouraged.

Maybe the events profile is dangerously close to the iPhone return scam, or Apple ID account theft. Because a bad or bogus gift card should make the gift card worthless, and toss the resolution of that back on the third party selling the gift card.
