Point seconded heartily. :)

Aww you’re cute.

Only not really.

It’s what you told them to do… you… advised them… to do that. Because you clearly didn’t like their comment.

It really is that simple, unless you’re being willfully ignorant.

Besides, the CLASSIC reply is to try and throw it back in MY face like I threw it in yours.

Oh, about eight months ago, give or take.

listen here u little shit

It’s not unprecedented, a KMT leader has visited the mainland at least once before, about 10 years ago.

Just to note that not only is it in the article, it’s in the bolded top sentence of the submission. :)

You’re wrong, fuck you, and shut the fuck up!

;-)

Maybe you can take your own advice, and not spent time replying to comments you don’t like? I hear it’s really that simple.

And if not, WHY NOT

:)

it’s already documented as happening

Oh? Where are the pictures comparing pricing on shelves vs. checkout pricing?

Oh, you’re bringing other things into this that have nothing to do with the subject at hand?

Sorry, we were discussing pricing tags on grocery store shelves. Please try to keep up.

Come on people, use your fucking brain. Consumers are INCREDIBLY sensitive to retailers trying to change prices on the fly. My evidence: Every time this story is submitted, people come out of the WOODWORK yelling “If they try this, we’re up in arms!” Yes, no shit, they are firmly away.

So let’s walk through how it works: You’re shopping, you put items in your cart, you go to check out, and it is… :gasp: like 20% more than it should be! They changed the prices on the shelf while you were shopping!

As soon as anyone even mildly suspects a price difference, they are likely to 1) take pictures of prices when they take them off the shelf and compare to the prices they paid on checkout and 2) talk about it online, causing hundreds or thousands to say “I KNEW IT!!!” and do the same.

So even IF one store was to try this once, it would cause a SHIT TON of people takes measures that would easily catch it. And talk about the negative review cascade that would happen…

Stores may try to play games, sure. But they’re not gonna poke the bear like that. Even if they do, it will NOT go unnoticed. People WILL catch it easily.

So I am absolutely NOT worried about this happening, and all the energy people are wasting worrying about it could be better spent trying to convince people to stand up and take our oligarchs down and take back our country.

Or, sure, you can waste your fucking time masturbating to the idea of you standing up against the Corporate Masters and their Nefarious Price Changing.

So, sure. These tags get implemented where you shop, keep an eye out for them doing something stupid. But they almost certainly won’t.

It’s just like the people who - every thread fast food comes up - talk about how the Big Mac used to be bigger! Nope. 1:10 patties for decades. “But I have my own little pet conspiracy theory!” Okay, you do you, bub.

Better pay for that tin foil with cash so THEY can’t catch you buying it and being protected!

Pretty sure

Ah, yes, I trust your “feelings”.

It would be “pretty easy” to get actual proof. Start taking photos. Otherwise, your feelings really don’t mean much.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: People WILL CATCH if they do this. Let someone THINK it happened and thousands of people will start taking pics of the prices on the shelves and compare to prices on checkout.

It is extremely unlikely that they would try it. But even if they did, it is extremely unlikely they would get away with it for more than a day or two.

It’s always interesting to see people commenting who don’t understand how reddit works. Which is fair - you can have an opinion. But knowing how it works makes a difference in how seriously I can take your opinion.

Mods on reddit cannot do a sitewide ban. They can ban you from one or more subreddits they moderate.

Admins do sitewide bans, which is what’s happened here, since you can see the profile has been banned.

And these days, with reddit’s shitty AI moderation, it probably means a ban done by AI.

Because this is not a normal person, someone will probably take a look at it and overturn it.

If you’re a regular joe, however, them taking a look at it even if you appeal is pretty damned rare. And as some have mentioned - things that trigger AI as a “threat of violence” that a normal human would easily see are not - doesn’t matter, AI bans. You get a warning, 24-hour, 3-day, 10-day, 30-day, then permanent. Unless there’s something that accellerates that.

As much as many people manage to survive without saying things AI picks up on, it’s damn easy to get unjustly banned, and it’s only gotten worse and worse over time.

Anyone in this thread talking about bans from mods is technically offtopic, except that reddit itself is also the topic, so that’s fine, but you should understand that a mod banning you is not similar to what happened here. :P

“We did Iwo Jima, we can do this,” Graham said in an interview on Fox News last weekend. “My money’s always on the Marines.”

7000 US soldiers died on Iwo Jima, and nearly 20,000 were wounded.

I’ve had a near-death experience - at least, I thought it was death.

So I can tell you I’d be hoping it would be quick with another bomb dropped closer to me, or that I’d be far enough away to not suffer from radiation beyond elevated cancer risk. Because acute radiation poisoning is a nasty way to go. There’s nothing they can do about the extreme pain you live with for hours to a few days. You just suffer horribly.

Your loss. The Register has been rock solid tech news (if a bit cheeky) for decades.
