Wait in the line. Wait in the fucking line, talk to the cashier and make a joke. Hone your small talk. if we stop using the express checkouts they will shut em down. Theyâll give the cashiers more hours, more demand and more money. itâll result in them having more power. Talking shit about AI is easy but now itâs time to choose the people over the robots in person. In real life.

First, itâs taking someoneâs job away and saving some crappy corporation money
Second, youâre doing that job for free and your labor has value
Third, itâs another way human interaction is being removed from society in th name of efficiency (but mostly in the name of cost cutting)
If youâre going somewhere like Home Depot or Loweâs that only has self checkout đ¤Ź, order online for pick up instead. At least that requires paid labor, and you can say hi to a fellow human when you pick it up.
*Allowable exceptions include: when buying something really embarrassing, when you have an urgent need to use the bathroom, when stealing

Today I had to buy one thing but every cash register was full. I had to buy it in cash so I couldn't do self check-out. It would've taken ages if not for the fact that, on the app of the establishment, you can take a turn for one of their cash registers. That's the only one that accepts turns. Usually when the cashier asks the customers for their turn, people don't know how to take a turn on the app, hell, they don't even know there's an app in the first place. They typically give up and the cashier can't accept them, so you take their spot while they go somewhere else. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me and more establishments should do this. It would even have a better spatial distribution for the customers and lines would be quicker đââď¸.

Make some robotic movements, mutter to yourself unintelligibly, just have fun with it.

its really simple. You get a few lists: queue, completed, archived, paused. Thereâs no âfriendsâ, so no one will be able to see what youâre reading. Thereâs no âgoalsâ so you can just read for fun, at the speed you want. Your reviews are for you and you alone. If you want to track what you want to read and what youâve already read without feeling like youâre on social media, ItalicType is what you need.

I think a lot of kids grow up with largely friends of their same gender. Thatâs the problem. Heteronormativity and seperating the genders in every aspect of life. sports, activities, friend groups. We condition men (and women!) to begin othering the opposite sex from birth. When in doubt, ungender it.
