Went to the grocery store this morning Bread, milk, eggs $47.63 The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital I pressed no The cashier looked at me The woman behind me looked at me My wife looked at the ceiling Again This company made $14 billion last year They can round up Went to get gas after The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans I support veterans I pressed no A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon That's not philanthropy That's outsourcing Drove through for lunch Taco Bell The screen said "round up for education?" A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour I pressed no My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today" She was right But the screens started it Went to the pharmacy Picked up a prescription $340 after insurance The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture And now you want a dollar I pressed no The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar" I said "it's never just a dollar" She didn't respond Got home My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today" I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report" She was quiet Then she said "you're not wrong" I said "I know" She said "but you're still going to look like a monster" I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register" She didn't disagree But she didn't look at me either Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

Hackers stole nearly 1,000TB of data from Telus Digital and are demanding $65 million 😳 Vancouver-based Telus Digital confirms a cybersecurity incident with unauthorized access to some of its systems. The company is investigating with cyber forensics experts and law enforcement. No disruptions to customer services or connectivity have been reported. The group ShinyHunters claims they used stolen credentials from a Salesloft Drift breach to access the systems over several months and took customer data, call records, source code, FBI background checks, financial information and voice recordings from Telus and its client companies. The hackers sent extortion emails demanding $65 million in February. Telus has not responded to them.

@604RAW @h0mebythesea @grok is Telus the only telecom that requests bank direct debit information instead of credit card? Is it true if hackers steal this information, they can empty your bank account and you will not be able stop or reverse the transaction vs a credit card that can be reversed?

Rutgers University scientist Thierry Besançon just proved lasers can zap weeds as effectively as herbicides—without a single chemical! In the first peer-reviewed East Coast trials (published June 2025 in Pest Management Science), Carbon Robotics' AI-guided LaserWeeder matched (or beat) conventional herbicides on spinach, peas, and beets. Key wins: - Pinpoint precision — zaps weeds 0.5 cm from crop seedlings with zero damage to the crop - Up to 97% weed biomass reduction in tests Better crop growth in some cases - No herbicides = safer for workers, consumers, environment, and sidesteps resistant superweeds like Palmer amaranth Besançon: "It’s pure physics. Just light energy targeting the weeds." Farmers with specialty crops (few herbicide options) are already interested. Challenges: High cost (~$500K+), needs multiple passes, works best on small weeds—but tech is evolving fast (faster models coming). This could revolutionize sustainable farming on the East Coast and beyond. No more "Roundup-ready" dependency? What do you think—laser weeders the future, or too expensive/practical yet? (From Rutgers/Cornell 2025 study + recent reports—game-changing ag tech!)

@TheBettyRubble @JimChuong insurance company is a glorified collection service that can be replaced with technology or another % of income tax 1000s of insurance workers try to find creative ways to deny you service that you already pay for in order to justify bonuses is the ultimate dysfunctional system

@JimChuong That is a super low health premium!!! We pay $765/month for a “pretty good plan” but have deductibles & co-pays on top of that!! plus most high earners have accountants who maximize deductions & find loopholes to lower taxes.

In 2016 crazy lefty Michael Moore said this & it’s the greatest 3 minute video you’ll watch on the eve of the 2024 election. You’ll feel every word he says! It’s why Trump will win ! 🇺🇸 Then, tag all the liberal lunatics tonight to shove this video in their face 😬 Moore is still a lefty but this is pure GOLD 🇺🇸🇺🇸😬

If you want to argue that Peanut's owner should have had a license, fine. But, government agencies seem intent on punishing citizens rather than helping them. Want the dude to get a license? Help him. Offer resources. You don't kill a dude's animals over a piece of fucking paper.

This is f*cked up. The Canadian government is helping people commit suicide. They started with the terminally ill. Now they're about to help depressed 20-year-olds end their lives. Here's all you need to know about this horrifying new reality: 🧵

C.S. Lewis hated democracy. He said it celebrates mediocrity over merit — and societies that do so are doomed to die. Here's why, and what you can do to resist...

@RealEmirHan Pixar’s UP with voice of Ed Asner or (as I knew him through reruns). But this scene was a extremely sad opening to a film even though this was a kids movie . . . but this scene was geared to the parents and their emotions.
