I'd say the condom thing is also because it raises the risk level considerably, not just because it was dishonest. It's not just the act they didn't consent to but the risk of unnoticed m unprotected sex.

BUT, by that token the risk level of having your sex-acts put on the internet for potential millions to see - including family members, potential employers, etc - is still considerable. It can ruin lives in different but still very significant ways.

These scum deserve to be stuffed in a cell.

Been there, uh, didn't do that because it's fucking creepy. Also no hitting or calling me "daddy", which is super creepy IMO

Except that it looks pretty much exactly like the picture on Amazon and ain't no custom job with real hardwood.

Yeah the ones doing the oppression are those most likely to resort to violence

Pretty, vindictive, partisan power-grabbing shit. The interim speaker shouldn't even be able to do that

I wouldn't be surprised if there's no specific law for that, and that most stores did price updates in early/after hours to avoid foot traffic while open. Some place I know generally did it while stocking

I'm pretty sure I've actually seen those tickets flashing while I was shopping.

Yeah it's one of those things that needs to be stopped - preferably by legislation - yesterday. And you won't have any choice not to shop they're because everyone is starting to do it

In a lot of cases, not even that. Look at stuff like a "raspberry Pi CM4".

Pretty much EVERY single retailer I've checked in Canada is waiting on stock. You can't get them from anyone here, period, and I've been on a bunch of wait lists.

Even Amazon's stuff is coming from overseas but they do help handle logistics, currency conversion, and have some guarantee of a real product. Throw in shipping AND duties+fees and you could be paying 3x from an OOC store.

Other choice would be AliExpress, but if I receive a lump of metal with a chip glued to it at least Amazon makes it easier to get my money back.

And this is belittling then, how?

More about analysing the thinking that led to the situation. In most cases it's things that they know or were told not to do but guy caught up in the moment

We'll see it down to the minute in B&M storefronts soon as well. The local Superstore and Walmart already have digital price tags on shelves. Milk could go up $0.50/L between the time you grab it off the shelf and then finish shopping to hit the checkout.

A bunch of people buying cookies? Oh, better raise that price by $1.50/box

For me, it's simply that there's stuff I can't find without driving 4h to another city, and even then only maybe.
