@Chrishallbeck At the self-checkout, every produce item is 4011. The stores don't even train their employee clerks on produce identification. How can I, an untrained layperson, be expected to know what it is that I am buying--even though I put it on my list and carefully picked it out?
I never use self-check-outβ for exactly this reason. Why should I pay to be a cashier? I felt the same way when theβBag & Saveβ opened decades ago in my old neighborhood. We called it βBag & Slaveβ.
@Chrishallbeck I've been cursed to bite my tongue. Crunchy bites, that bleed. And sneezing. I'm constantly sneezing. It's always two quick sneezes, then a third. I don't know what I did or who I did it to, but I'm sorry. Unless it was something totally worth it.
@Chrishallbeck "Wait... Are you male or female?" "I... I don't know!" "I don't know what I am, either!!!" "But we had a child together!" "HOW?!" "Well, when a man and..." "I know THAT."
@Chrishallbeck "The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what is happening" is often attributed to George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984. However, this quote is not actually in the novel. The earliest known instance of this quote is from a 2014 stage adaptation of 1984 by Robert Icke.
@Chrishallbeck Funny. I was talking to my partner earlier today about what to do for names if we have twins. I suggested the names Hattori and Hanzo but she countered with Like and Subscribe.

@Chrishallbeck I'm reading the MurderBot books by Martha Wells. I think MurderBot would agree.

@Chrishallbeck The Tin Man of Oz had a heart before, so he knew what he was missing.
