Warning: “The Daily Perspective” publishes #AI #slop articles.
This article I am quote-posting here is generated by an AI agent they are calling “Jimmy O’Brien,” who even has a profile pic. At least they are honest about this being a slop article as they write clearly on this article that the author is an AI agent, and they are honest enough to link to the source article from IGN which they used to prompt this slop article.
But the original IGN article is better written, and not very much longer than the slop article. So really, what is the point of doing this other than diverting views from IGN to your own website for increased ad revenue? That is not honest.

I suspect #Betteridge’ Law covers this. Anyone who buys meme coins is too stupid to realise they have been ripped off. Meantime the Trump family (the First Crime Family) are reported to have benefited to the tune of $1 Bn. Never have so. Many people been ripped off by a single man and coming back asking for more

So, Crappy Tire [1] changed their mind and pleaded guilty to a bunch of violations of Quebec's consumer protection law. Surprising absolutely no one, the charges are largely about advertising items at huge discounts from "regular" prices that the products were never or rarely actually sold at.

This is why there's a saying that "If you bought it at Canadian Tire and it wasn't at least 40% off, you got ripped off". The Bay / Hudson Bay is also famous for this kind of BS. Other provinces should also forbid this kind of dishonest manipulation, but they don't.
I wish Canadians wouldn't fall for this kind of marketing crap.
Can I tell you a secret that will save you money?
Crappy Tire sells two types of merchandise:
(1) name-brand stuff like Tupperware or Corning or whatever else
(2) crappy imported Chinesium products [2]
You can always get the first category cheaper at Walmart or other places.
And you can always get the latter cheaper from Princess Auto, or even cheaper than that from various online places. It all comes out of the same factories.
There is never a reason to shop at Crappy Tire.
[1] Widely-used nickname for "Canadian Tire".
[2] The sheer amount of imported junk gives rise to the alternate nickname "Cambodian Tire".

PT Barnum was right!
Was at someones house last night and noticed what looked like twisted copper wire around their meter while I pushed their soffit back into place.
Had to asked what it was figuring it was some scam that would supposedly lower their electric bill.
I was partially right . It's a Smart meter Tensor ring. It "resonates at 144 MHZ for EMF filtering/protection throughout the home. As well as lowing power bills. Made to the Sacred/Royal Egyptian Cubit. ( whatever the heck that is ).
Lady seems to think adding it as well as changing all her window screens to copper from fiberglass and her outside doors to metal improved her sleep as well as health And her two cats are much calmer now .
She is sold on the tech. Showed me the braided metal earthing sleeves for her power cords . Had to ask her what about the wiring in the walls. She did not think about that. Wonder if they sell Special wallpaper to shield from EMF too?

‘Capsicum paradox’
Unless a customer did complex maths on the spot, they wouldn’t know if they were being “ripped off” by the “per each” price, the analysis found.
In the most striking example, which the analyst called the “capsicum paradox”, Woolworths charged 51% more for green capsicums when priced individually compared with when they were priced by weight.
Most shoppers wouldn’t realise they were paying nearly $15/kg for a vegetable they could get for $9.90/kg on the shelf, the analyst said.
The green capsicums cost $9.90/kg in store and $2.48 each online.
Supermarkets doing it for themselves.
Nothing changes.
It's cheaper to send a letter to an address in Ireland *from Germany* than from *inside* Ireland.
In Ireland, a national stamp costs €1.85. In Germany, an international stamp is €1.25!
(Sending a letter _within Germany_ is €0.95. From Ireland to Germany is €3.50!)
(Using the new, post 1st Feb Irish postal rates)

They rip you off -that is what they do. Their nature and their business model. Please find local venue and local musicians, you will have e better time, and you can probably afford a drink and a meal before.
Was looking at some small technology things today, and checking prices at #amazon
How did I miss them putting up "Prime Prices" as the thing one sees when looking, only to see the higher price lower in the listing? I hate to ask, but when did this happen?
I jettisoned Prime about the same time I left Twitter, but this kind of thing is just infuriating.
@PinoBatch @clf granted most #consuer tariffs are a #RipOff and one can get better deals for lesser money with #business tariffs and some serious negotiations…
