Oh damn, I totally missed that lol, I take back that part of my criticism - I also found the source from a yelp review I think and linked that as an update

This site is worse than a repost
The source is a reddit post it seems and Hindustan times is just doing a highlight reel of that post without linking it. Hindustan times has a low credibility score from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/hindustan-times and didn’t add any journalism
Searching it’s quote’s (being forced to use Google, since they pay Reddit to index them …) it comes from this article https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/1fb097q/where_would_you_report_this_kind_of_behaviour/
And doing a quick skim of comments there was no additional clarity.
So… Probably not real
Fuck Kroger
They killed Lucky’s. It was the best damn grocery store I’ve ever had. It had such potential.
Roughly 12,600 7/11’s in the US, so a 0.01% chance of any individual 7/11 getting a car on a given day, or a 1 in a thousand chance.
According to this https://slate.com/business/2022/06/car-crash-buildings-how-many.html about a 100 cars crash into buildings each day, so 7/11 makes up 1% of building crashes, but that tracks since a lot of people go to there for quick needs with distracted minds.
I don’t have much of a point, but the statistics don’t paint a some scary point that I think the lawyers are trying to make.
I think we’re saying the same thing.
We can’t go into the 2028 general strike thinking about self preservation - we can’t go into the 2028 general strike unprepared.
We have less than 4 years to lay the ground work for a success that cannot be defeated by the capitalist class.
In my mind, that means all the above:
Voting allied people into federal, state, and local governments who won’t massacre us this time, including sheriffs and mayors and governors and judges
Gathering people together to understand each other and build rapport and trust
Building the list of goals and demands so we have a definition of success that can be capitulated
Organizing support networks to ensure we don’t starve or get evicted and etc, while on strike
The capitalist class will have an intelligence operation, they will know if they can simply wait us out or exploit weaknesses - if we prepare right, they will know that their best option is to give into our demands. The more prepared and united we are, the faster they’ll surrender.
Those that can save, should, so that they can help their neighbors and colleagues who can’t.
We are only powerful if we work together, and that means those that can save excess money, should, and also be bold enough to offer support, and those that can’t should prepare in other ways like organizing and promoting, and be bold enough to seek support when they need it.
We win this together, not individually.
What’s even more wild is that May Day was chosen to commerate the Haymarket Massacre in America after Americans had a real General Strike in 1886 and were executed, beaten, and jailed for it by the capitalist class.

Important to note, Shawn Fain of the UAW is organizing a General Strike on May Day of 2028. Start saving now, prepare, and be ready to participate and support your neighbors, your colleagues, and your self.
That’s not what I am saying.
In my opinion the forum is a altruistic area. Is the value I provide tailoring the posts by up voting and down voting not valuable? Is the value I provide by summarizing and or giving interpretations of the articles posted here not valuable? Or engaging in thoughtful honest discussion not valuable?
I believe they are.
Do I feel entitled to some profit because of my input on this forum? No I do not.
I give this work because I provide my value to this site voluntarily, honestly, many hours of my day, altruisticly, to build a better community and discussion. I don’t demand money because I receive a community in return.
What I am saying is that this kind of stuff will segment our community, by creating a profitable segment of the community and an unprofitable segment of community, implicitly creating a “correct” and “incorrect” way. Beyond that it will introduce people to our community who care less about furthering this forum, and more about making profit.
Remember YouTube before the partner program and video responses and how much more engaged and equal that community was? And what it is now with most every prominent channel being sponsored on top of ad breaks and product placement?
Obviously, if a person wants to dedicate their full time to some art and wants money for it, they should, and I’m excited for what they produce, but this is not where to do it.
But you don’t have vibrant thoughtful debates about world events in target, you don’t purchase microwaves at the library. You go to stores to buy stuff, you go to forums to discuss stuff.
Content creators can create their own site, their own patreon, or whatever - they can freely submit their work to our forum for feedback and an audience, and they can even link someone the link to their store if they ask - but introducing the profit angle directly to our forum and integrating it in will be the beginning of the end for this community as it is. The first crack of enshitification.
Fuck the commodification of culture.
Fuck full time content creators.
I don’t want people working full time on social networks. I don’t want to read your ad, your secret knowledge, your product placement, or sponsorship, or your oh so subtle pitch for VC funding. I’m certainly not going to give money.
I want people who do their own thing in the real world, and as a hobby and show-and-tell, submit their work freely to the Internet to hone and expand their craft and field, and gain organic enrichment altruisticly.
If you want to sell stuff and make money, make your own website and store. Not on our forum.
Don’t pollute our forum. I want to be inspired, be in awe, be entertained, be informed, and to give back in my own way that continues this cycle and fuels the forum.
We’ve fled so many greedy sites - fleeing this capitalistic parasite in hopes of finding honest discussion untainted by greed. I’m tired of fleeing.
It’s a well written article worth reading in full
In the government’s telling, the school routinely missed compliance obligations in large part because the researchers found dealing with security protocols “burdensome.” And when the researchers complained, admins gave in.
This is a good motivator, security is important, and there will always be a spectrum between convenience and security, and it’s easy to drift too far down to the dangerously convenient side of the spectrum.
This Georgia Tech lab got dangerously convenient security policies, lied about it, got ratted out, and now is the government’s displayed example.
Now it’s either getting pwned or getting sued, instead of just risking the former. Hopefully this will motivate more people to take security more seriously, especially when hosting sensitive data, and especially when accepting federal government money.
Bullshit. She’s great, with a long track record to back that up.
Not only is she not old and not in mental decline, but she’s also charismatic, engaging, and she is progressive. Congress and the courts will limit her policies of course, but that’s by design, the government is not just the president.
Beyond that, with picking Walz and other strategic picks in her campaign, she’s shown that she knows how to form a good team and avoid landmines.
I’m looking forward to the Harris presidency and voting For her, not just against Trump.
Check out Jen Perelman in South Florida
She’s going against Debbie Wasserman Schultz and is explicitly anti AIPAC and progressive
I do not doubt or counter the terrible things he has done and continues to do.
He is a despicable person.
Don’t dehumanize him. He’s a human just like you and me, and we must stay vigilant to our friends and our selves to not become like Andrew Tate or any other people who have terrible unchecked thoughts and actions.
God I hope it’s Walz, it’s a dream ticket for progressives
If you’ve only got a year left, do some wild stuff different from your current life, experience all the things you won’t be able to experience after. Do all the things that you’d say no to like traveling cheaply/hitchhiking/walking, falling in love carelessly, speaking freely, and even starving, and disappointing people.
There are no experiences once you opt out, so, yolo it unironically.
Potentially at some point you think it’s still worthwhile living, but, if not, at least you experienced as much as you could.
The sky’s the limit, most people don’t do things because of their long term effects and chance for death and harm - if you don’t have that limit - use it to your advantage
