Look, is everyone who drives a Tesla a fascist?
No.
(They’re more than likely neoliberal and probably more ashamed than anything else right now.)
Similarly, is everyone who drives a Cybertruck a fascist?
You bet your sweet ass, they are.

It's just not safe or practical!
Especially in NYC. Even with how horrible they are when I've gone in over the past 3 years once or twice there is always a long line. And people getting mad and leaving since the line isn't moving.
I tried to buy some allergy medicine once and gave up and went to the bodega. I was worried the bodega might not have allergy medicine but they did, and no line. (They have everything, I don't know how they do that.)

There are lots of shops making lots of money everyday in NYC. Foot traffic is high and people are spending even with the inflation.
If you can't make money it seems like a "skill issue" as the kids say.
Sephora is *mobbed* everyday and it's kind of shocking how much makeup they sell. It's also all some of students will talk about. I don't even think they know that pharmacies have makeup sections. Why would a young person enter such creepy empty, spaces with everything locked up like you are in some kind of automat from a dystopian novel.
But not an *exciting* dystopian novel.
They are "open" but not trying at all. Not even in their locations near Times Square and Soho!
It is a lost opportunity. Once upon a time, drugstores like Walgreens aimed to be the one-stop neighborhood store on the way to work and the way home, with slightly higher prices/margins on things you might not ordinarily get at a drugstore but would because you didn't want to make multiple stops. Having a friendly professional who could sell you the right shade of eyeshadow was *important*.
They completely screwed it up.
I'm the biggest introvert, two people just isn't enough to run these stores, they take up a whole city block. They are almost as big as a grocery. And they will have one person in the pharmacy and one at the front. That's not OK.

I'm working on a new parametric design to hold micro:bit boards... You can change the number of boards, space between them, and angle they insert... they also snap into place with a nice little "click" and don't fall out.

If you enjoy my style of writing but would prefer to read it as fiction rather than whatever the hell it is I do on fedi, my profile contains a link to my extremely sporadically updated collection of such fiction. There's also the occasional poem, and some things are funnier than others.
What, you're too lazy to go to my profile (wherein you can verify that I am telling the truth and the collection does in fact belong to me? You want a call to action?
Fine. Visit theoppositeofblog.blogspot.com… and read it. It's a blogspot blog for God's sake. Those are thin on the ground these days. It's retro cool. Plus if you visit in desktop mode, you can click the subheading and it'll change to various random things, so that's a fun way to kill fifteen minutes.
The image shows a countertop with a structure made of white PVC pipes and blue connectors, resembling a framework. On the left side, there are several Red Bull cans, and on the right side, there are bottles of Jägermeister. The PVC structure is arranged in a way that suggests it is holding the cans and bottles in place. The text at the top of the image reads, "Trust me. I'm an Artificer." The background includes a couch and a wall with a mounted light fixture, suggesting an indoor setting.

Today discovered that Unity has a builtin function for intentionally causing the game to crash.
It is… possibly the best architected thing I've encountered in the Unity API. It anticipates my use cases and documents them clearly.
I am now willing to call crashing Unity's "core competency".
So this is why there are all those indie games that are pretending to be haunted or whatever.
Unity makes it super easy to put up a scary face and “crash” the game.
