I’m gonna have to assume the creators and producers make money off this

As a Canadian, I feel sorry for you guys

By “current events” do you mean the chaos known as America right now?

I miss roaming 24 hour walmarts late at night so much

I’m no psychologist but I’ve certainly avoided stores that made me uncomfortable because, well they made me uncomfortable

Only a little though, like you’re approximately 52 meters away from a bath and body works. Downwind.

What are the barrage of lights and sounds I’m suggesting?

I’m tempted to start a grocery chain that mandates dimmed lights, soft music, employees that talk to you like a loving parent with some training in therapy, as well as mild hints of lavender, chamomile, frankinscence, and vanilla being diffused.

It seems kinda counterintuitive to me from a business standpoint too. I feel like if people are in a better mood and relaxed, they would be more willing to buy more stuff? Or does the constant anxiety pressure people into buying more? I unno?

I was not aware of this heavy buddhist culture in America

Assuming easy to get means low requirements, Border Services here (the people who check your ID when you’re driving through country borders) can pay over 100k a year and you just need a high school diploma and drivers license.

If you don’t mind doing a couple years of college then I would recommend something in non-ionizing medical imaging as a safe and in demand career.

At world scale

Oh no, I didn’t think you were intending on correcting me. I just realized I misspelled it after reading your post but I guess the real lesson I learned is that both spellings are correct.

Shit right, ingrained. I wrote this late at night lol

I guess if you want to live in a world where the evil people run things. Also, stupid people statistically have more kids.

One of my favourite actors of all time. Elijah is pretty good too.

If you consider education to be manipulation then sure

Based on the percentage of kids that I’ve witnessed call a teacher mom/dad, I don’t think this is much of a problem at all. Now calling your significant other mom/dad, that’s a whole nother issue.

They hoard bullets, water, guzzolene, and mother’s milk

So plot twist. I should have been more vigilant when buying from an independent store but after I booted up, I noticed I had 12 gb of installed RAM rather than 16. I powered off, took both RAMs out and popped the “new” one into the slot that I knew worked prior. It showed up as 4gb. I powered off, looked at the stick and sure enough, the guy sold me a 4gb stick and the 8gb sticker was on top of the packaging so I didn’t notice when I bought it. Now I’m expecting this guy to accuse me of replacing the product and trying to scam them when I return it…smdh…
