I do not understand where they are making a profit

I think you’re overestimating how much money it costs to produce this stuff. Economies of scale and certain other practices in this specific industry allow retailers to sell stuff at a significant markup even when it seems like they’re giving customers a heavy discount.

But even with relatively large markup percentages, the low price point means retailers have to move incredible volumes in order to make enough money to stay open. So they end up using aggressive marketing tactics to get people to come in the door and start impulsively buying stuff.

My intuition is that those shirts are simply from last season and didn’t sell well enough or they’ve gone out of fashion. The store is using it as an opportunity to put a big 80% off sign out front and whip potential customers into a frenzy. Could also be a scheme to recover costs from online returns. But I really doubt there is anything wrong or even different about those shirts.

Did cats domesticate humans, or did Toxoplasma gondii domesticate both of us?

OP be careful, you’ve inadvertently spoken the sacred incantation and summoned the dreaded political content right into this very thread!

It definitely could be a hardware failure, but if the system still boots fine, it’s probably not that. Based on the symptoms, I think you might have clobbered your PATH variable. This can happen when you do something like PATH=/new/path/ because the variable gets overwritten. You have to remember to preserve the existing value with PATH=$PATH:/new/path/. Don’t worry, this is reversible.

The best thing to do would be to fix or temporarily remove the commands you used to set PATH in whatever profile or .rc file it’s in. You can run whatever text editor you have installed by specifying the path to the executable. I don’t know exactly where vim is on Fedora, but it’s probably something similar to /sbin/vim or /usr/bin/vim. Keep trying locations until you find the right one. Then log out and back in and it should be fixed.

You might also be able to login as root and use the shell normally to fix the problem, depending on which file contains the faulty command. Hopefully this helps.

A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.

Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.

Maybe pay a random stranger in cash to rent a bike for you

A handsome, charming, and mysterious figure suddenly has every villainous capitalist in the country checking over their shoulder, and racing to staff their facilities with enough stooges to hold this phantom off long enough for them to load their billions into their rocket ships and flee.

Real life has become an ideology-bent spy thriller and I’m only slightly ashamed to be fully caught up in the intrigue.

from a worker’s perspective

This is the opposite of what OP meant. The most exploitative boss is regarded as the best boss by their boss, whose opinion is the only one that matters under capitalism. Exploitation of workers is a necessary part of wealth creation, and landlords have innovated and streamlined the process in order to squeeze their more ethical competition out of business.

It always amazes me that French politicians have the gall (pun not intended) to even attempt stuff like this, considering the last 250 years of political context in the region.

In case you’re actually, seriously asking and not just trolling, having privilege and success under capitalism does not disqualify a person from being a leftist. You can’t really criticize a person for participating in a system where if you don’t participate, you starve.

He’s using his influence to organize the working class and advocate for collective action, which is the one tool workers have in the fight against their own exploitation. Even if you don’t like him personally or don’t think he’s part of the working class, he is a very strong ally and has undeniably strengthened the movement.

On the bright side, 99% of Canadians will be immediately priced out of driving a ICE car, so at least we won’t have to worry about that anymore

“Antisemitism is the socialism of fools”

Poilievre, it seems, is a fool.

The name is blacked out so I’m going to assume it’s a UCP MLA.

Looking forward to the trump tariffs forcing people to reckon with how our government is incompetent as fuck. Maybe then people will be able to see through the facade of fake economic populism to the demonic ghoulishness at the core of this party’s policies.

Vulcan, Alberta.

Famous because of a spaceship that landed there once, I think.

Some people with pointed ears may have also been involved, but I would replicate that with a grain of salt. I haven’t really looked into it.

If only people cared about workers getting trapped in cycles of desperation in literally every other industry even half as much as they pretend to care about sex workers.

operating temperatures down to -15C

I would personally triple check to make sure this means what you think it means.

Assuming it does, you should be in the clear. Cutting the power when it gets colder is probably not necessary since the freezer won’t have any reason to run, but it might be a worthwhile precaution anyway. If for some reason the compressor does try to run with frozen oil, it might damage itself or try to draw too much power and blow a breaker (or start a fire if your wiring is sketchy). Better to be on the safe side.

Not only that, it was the 1 game they played exclusively on amazon prime. Seems rather suspicious if you ask me.

“Steam gauges” on car/plane instrument panels. Yeah, digital displays are cheaper to manufacture and less prone to failure, but they kinda suck the fun out of it.

I seem to remember some list of “enforceable conditions” set out by the government for this merger. So those were bullshit, I guess.

Another W for the telecom cartel.
