As someone who works retail in these stores. It's overblown bullshit. They're still making record profits. This is a puff piece to try and get some sympathy for retail owners who are currently one of the most reviled entity in Canada.

They pushed self checkouts hard, cut hours for everything, and then they're shocked when thieves take advantage of that?

My store went from having two entrances that were mostly unguarded, to a fucking "1984" built perimeter fence with wheel locking shopping carts if you don't take the cart through a till properly. We are expected to spider wrap Lego sets and appliances and half of cosmetics and baby. They spend probably over hundreds of thousands of dollar to install security theatre bullshit instead of simply just having staff on the floor working who would mitigate most theft by having a presence there.

And I repeat, grocery stores continue to make excellent profit despite numbers that reveal people are buying noticeably less stuff (because they increased prices so damn much).

I'm sure this will get the "progressive" lib to turn on him finally right?

Yeah, but by believing in things you open yourself up to trying to change the world, and that is the most dangerous thing ever for centrist libs.

It turns out when most of the world shrugs and does the opposite of reducing emissions that things don't get fixed.

China is basically the only country taking it seriously, and meanwhile the west is simply increasing fossil fuel extraction while causing wars over this shit.

it's the only way for the future.

it looks so terrible I can't believe trump is making a mockery of the institutions of presidential power.

so you're going to tear that shit down and make it look decent after you've removed him from power.

removed him from power? That sounds an awful lot like the kind of move a republican would do. We Democrats would never stoop so low.

but you are going to at some point win again right?

Like you aren't just going to leave that ostentatious crap up just because technically an American president had it built so you have to respect the office by leaving it in place.

Nine Sols, mostly and boy playing it after silk song is not recommended. It feels okay, but I cannot get into the rhythm of the combat ever because you feel weak as shit, constantly being knocked back and combo'd to death with one mistake. Also not loving the way it wants you to use parry points to do a weird talisman explosion thingy. Feels like an inferior version of sekiro across the board. So going to slowly pick at it now rather than dive deeply anymore.

Also replaying creeper world 4, I have a soft spot for these games and needed something like this since I havent played one in a few years.

Waiting for Mina the hollower to hopefully be the next game I can dump time into.

I'm here for any Robert Pattinson role and he is fucking awesome in tenet, even if I couldn't understand what the hell happened.

And the Esposito character basically said as much earlier in the season "you aren't taking down capital so I'll be back, or someone like me, and the fight will continue, and you'll always lose". The fact that MM didn't dome him right there was insane to me, but I guess they had to have him get tortured by homelander or soldier boy a bit for plot reasons or something.

The trailers look awesome, can't wait to get a chance to see it.

I've been playing alabaster dawn, very cool game from the crosscode folks. It only has half of chapter 2 done currently. But plays really good!

And lots of slay the spire 2. Just slowing working up acensions with ironclad currently.

Yep the onguardforthee libs were torn over if it was a good idea or a great idea. Because carney just keeps on winning in their eyes.
