Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Let me guess. The stores they closed tried to unionize, so they made up some shit about shoplifting.
This, with a generous side of pushing right wing narratives about urban crime panic because they think it will help Republicans win.
And yet this was all done by the "national Retain Federation".
Literally complain, yell, cry, and fire people because of unions and yet they are in a corporate Union themselves.
Unions work.
I thought it was just because real estate is expensive af now
I'm not going to trust "boingboing.net", but that's just me
Boing boing .net has been a reputable site for years. I think it started as a blog for author and journalist Cory Doctorow, but has become a news site of its own. The recent term enshittification was coined by Doctorow.
You may be right but when I read headlines like this: A woman took her gun to an MRI appointment. It shot her in the ass.
it makes it hard to take boingboing seriously.
edit: strong opinions about boingboing lol. I guarantee half of you who are downvoting have no clue whether its a reputable source.
It's an actual story though.
Thats happens fairly often because people are stupid as fuck.
Another source butt shot lady:

Some guy even died earlier this year:

Don't fuck around with MRIs. Magnets don't care.
When you go into an MRI room you hear this weird but very distinct sound from the liquid helium pumps keeping the giant superconducting magnets near absolute zero.
Then when it runs, the vibrations from the current being pushed through the gradient coils is significant enough that you need hearing protection.
It’s serious business in there. But it lets us see inside our bodies without incisions or ionizing radiation, so it’s also awesome. But jeez some people and their guns.
I’ve had two and recall an eerie feeling but the only noise I remember was some clanking. Maybe my mind is just shot. Is the noise you are referring to just when they are first starting things up?
The pump sound is always there and never changes. However, maybe you don’t hear it in some facilities with different layouts. I’ve used a few facilities and always heard it.
For the loud noises from the vibration, that happens while they’re actually doing the scans. Different portions of the scan create distinct sounds, though I don’t know which sound goes to which measurements. There’s gotta be a YouTube video about it.
The sounds have a harsh buzz to their tone, like somebody is playing sound effects through a Tesla coil.
I’ve told people that getting an MRI, particularly one where you need to go head-first into the tube, can feel like an alien abduction!
Holy shit, boingboing.net?
That's a site I haven't heard of in a long time.
It was one of the first websites I remember regularly visiting in the 90s, and looks like they haven't changed much since.
That's cool.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
I don't know why they post the boingboing piece when it links to a much better Reuter's article.
