No, I don't think we'll ever see anything like Twitter again. - Beryllium Oct 6, 07:19 26

  - Meta/FB missed this window of opportunity with Threads. I don't honestly think we will ever have a tool like Twitter again. - Jovian Oct 6, 07:26

  - No, he’s just a fucking idiot. -- nm - Tim Oct 6, 08:00
  - maybe once he was forced to buy it, but no way was that the plan at the start. conspiracy BS. -- nm - mafic Oct 6, 07:31 2

  - No, there isn't. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 07:21
Krusty I remember seeing The Girl with all the Gifts. I don't remember it being much of a horror movie, more social commentary/ drama. -- nm - sycor Oct 6, 07:17 3

Target is lying about why it's closing stores -- (link) - Reagen Oct 6, 07:05 12
- I forget which company it was, but they said they solved the shoplifting "problem" by hiring actual people to work in their stores. - Dano Oct 6, 07:54 1
  - Lowes has done this - stores are fully staffed now. -- nm - colin Oct 6, 11:21

  - I'm dumb. The article lays out that shoplifting hasn't increased in those areas. So *why* are they actually closing those stores? - Mop🧹 Oct 6, 07:25 4
    - to me, everything flies in the face of nearby store openings except unfavorable lease terms -- nm - crash davis 😺 Oct 6, 07:32
    - That's a good question. I haven't read anything that gives a good reason for the closures especially considering that they're opening more - Krusty Oct 6, 07:29
    - Probably a mixture of all those factors, but "shoplifting" is sexy and not something you can blame on C suite decisions. -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 07:27 1
