A mate of mine is a manager at Lidl and he says they’ve had AI cameras installed recently. From looking around online it looks like they trialled it in London a year ago. My friend’s store is up North so I guess they’re rolling it out everywhere else.

Apparently they can detect people putting objects in their pocket and there’s an overhead message telling them to take it out. I’m looking forward to going and experimenting to see how shit it is.

I’m English It was like 3 seconds!

I beeped a guy when on holiday in USA once, after a truck didn’t set off for a few seconds. The guy stuck a middle finger out of his window and floored it with a great wheel spin.

Not sure if I broke the rule by beeping too early, or the American rule is that you always flip off the guy behind you.

Ahh, biscuits!

A real woman doesn’t say yes right away. She says no to a man, for years. Like 10 years.

That’s getting stuck on a mini roundabout 15 seconds into your journey

One time I was in Spain and I found 5 Australian dollars on the floor in a train station. I picked it up and pocketed it. The same day, I climbed a bell tower in some museum/remains and was chilling up there for half an hour, without anybody else coming up. Eventually another person came up and said hi. Recognised they were Australian so I asked them if they wanted 5 dollars and they said “…yeah?” And I gave it to them. No explanation.

I laugh sometimes thinking of the story from their perspective, climbing a Spanish bell tower and meeting an English guy at the top who hands them 5AUD, like a NPC in an RPG.

Just spit it out already. Stop being weird and cryptic, we can’t read your mind. What’s wrong with this poster?

Hi it’s still broken on my machine. I’ve tried turning it off and on again

Yes the law is because of those eating disorders. Here’s the report that led to it https://www.britishfashioncouncil.co.uk/uploads/files/1/The Report of the Model Health Inquiry, September 2007.pdf

I’d agree if you were arguing about banning all unhealthy behaviours in ads, that’s a better comparison and where this sort of argument belongs. I don’t think fat people need to be brought into it in this case though, this law is about the fashion industry encouraging eating disorders.

Well the law in question here wasn’t made because ads were normalising being a skeleton. The law was made because people were starving themselves on purpose to become like that. The adverts set an unrealistic beauty standard and women were becoming malnourished trying to reach it. So yes it matters. It’s literally why the law was created years ago.

Making an argument about “normalising” unhealthiness is a whole other ball game.

So no, then

The reason we target advertisements in this way is because they’re saying “this is what you need to look like” which encourages young women to starve themselves as they strive to be size 4. This is a separate issue to merely “normalising” things. If you’re concerned with normalisation of obesity, why are you focusing on adverts and not, say, The Simpsons or Family Guy?

Do you have any evidence that people are striving to be obese because of these adverts? I’d rather not have people call for laws based on vibes. Especially your shitty vibes.

Actually if you faff around with vouchers and buy an extra pizza and change the garlic bread to wedges oh and spend another £5 to make it into the deal, you can bring the price down to only slightly overpriced!

Yeah but what about the second/third/fourth time you see them. First contact is easy.

Sounds good until dozens of people around the world all use it as their email too. So many receipts and job applications. I have enough documents for an Australian with the same name as me, I could easily steal their identity. A 12 year old in England set up an Instagram with my email and I ended up with access to their full account. Also had some fun the time I was included in a maga family email chain.

Unless it’s your mum
