>Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? I don't know how you'd sell them otherwise. How do you do you process a payment without a network connection? The only thing I can think of is offering a catalog in the OS which users could browse and physically order stuff from, but I wouldn't call that a store.

Not GP but, processing payments absolutely does not require a network connection. Doing so is absolutely not nearly as convenient, but in my adult lifetime it was pretty normal for retailers to pick up a phone, give a customer service rep and/or automated call handler CC info and dollar amounts and get appropriate confirmations.

As for a business without an OS interface not being a "store," that's ridiculous on its face. If that were true, we'd have to call 7/11 or any similar place (like those at most gas stations) convenience "locations with items for sale but not a store, because stores are only places with catalogs in my OS," and "places which sell stuff but aren't stores because rimunroe says they can't be a 'store' without a catalog in their OS."

Touch grass, friend.

>Would love to see the percentage of Forbes 30u30 who also had (sorry, claimed) a disability in college.

Once they get out of prison, we should ask them.[0]

Perhaps you should stick to galactic history, Janov.

Psychology doesn't seem your strong suit (unsurprising, given your origins and background).

> have firsthand experience being diagnosed and prescribed medication for ADHD within about half an hour of self-reporting mild symptoms with a physician remotely,

And that makes you competent to determine the value of the disability claims of others and the appropriate accommodations such folks should receive?

Really?

Then again, you are the eminent galaxy-wide expert on such things, aren't you bananalychee.

Will you honor my request to impregnate my wife and daughters so they can carry offspring that's so much more valuable than anyone else on the planet? Pretty please!

>If someone is advertising something at you, it's because you can get it and you are potential market.

>Not rocket science.

Yep. I see adverts for Psoriasis and so, of course, I developed Psoriasis although I never had it before I saw the adverts. I see adverts for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and, of course, then developed it because I am a "potential market."

Even better, I see adverts for tampons, sanitary pads and "feminine' deodorants. As such, I underwent gender reassignment surgery so I could then purchase said products because I'm a "potential market."

Yes, the above is satirical. And no, I don't purchase products because " they spend that money advertising"

If I show you an advert for brassieres, are you then forced to purchase them because of all the money spent on such adverts? Are you even slightly tempted to do so?

If I show you an advert for literal snake oil as a cure-all, are you then powerless to stop yourself from purchasing it?

I hate to break it to you, but we Americans aren't slaves to, or required to spend money based on, consumer advertising.

Heck, I don't drink Coca-Cola or Budweiser. If what you say were true, I'd literally be drowning in that garbage.

Please take your ridiculous stereotypes elsewhere.

Edit: Fixed typos.

>> hold 20 people hostage on the bus until some enforcers navigate a busy city

>Where this happens they arrive promptly. And it doesn’t happen often.

Where, other than inside your mind, does this happen? Please, do be specific.

>That may be something that only a small minority of fentanyl addicts are going to do, but it's not something that we have any obligation to allow in the name of helping drug addicts.

Yep. There is no solution except to shoot those filthy addicts, amirite?

I mean who wants to spend $35-50K/annum to keep these scum in prison, right?

In fact, why should my tax dollars pay for any of these subhuman criminals, addicts and other undesirables? A bullet only costs a dime.

That's the way to go, right soerxpso? Pew! Pew! Pew!
