Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle credited to 14th-century philosopher William of Ockham, stating that among competing explanations with equal predictive power, the one requiring the fewest assumptions should be preferred. It is also known as the principle of parsimony or law of parsimony.

TLDR: The simplest solution tends to be the correct solution.

The answer is capitalism, that's why

It doesn't matter. What I'm saying is you used to have that choice.

That kiosk exists to push specific parts of the menu toward you, while minimizing your interaction with loss leaders, and if linked to your rewards account, collect and use all of your spending habit data. It's a consumer manipulation tactic that is meant to seem convenient, while providing an excuse for the company to hire less workers/pay workers less.

Of course she didn't, but by continuing to associate with her abuser in a profusely positive way, and as a person who has pretty much always backed up all of the weird stuff about her that her father said, she is tacitly giving retroactive support and permission. Victimhood stops the moment you begin victimizing

Nooo? Your father being a piece of shit doesn't mean that, as an adult women with independent thought, that you are not also a piece of shit.

No, I'm saying that real estate developers are overcoming the NIMBYs by instilling themselves into their local politics, and then calling for "future forward" mix-use development, obstensibly thinking about the "changing demographics" of the local area, wanting to build GIANT developments that mix high-end condos, affordable housing, and senior care (both assisted and independent) into the same space. This enables them to essentially control the housing market, and then buy up all of the nearest single family dwellings and repeat.

This is to say nothing about the massive developments going up all over our farmland outside of city centers, as gentrifiers are now bored/sick/scared of the city and seek to once again suburbanize.

Has anybody had a run-in with this ml user?
