Literal straight up demonic shit I hate this so much, and also it's extremely reddit on top of being morally disgusting

The Drink Exchange quite literally turns a bar into a stock market for an evening with drinks prices rising and falling every few minutes, based upon what is being sold.

From the customer’s point of view, as they enter a bar they will see a selection of drinks prices on the screens (the trading graphics can be customised to suit specific branding). These prices change every few minutes based upon what they buy! So for example, if Heineken sells, then the price rises. If no one is buying Bacardi, then the price will begin to drop.

On top of this, we have the MARKET CRASHES. These are points during the event when prices hit their minimum. This can be across a number of items, all items, or maybe just one item. The screens flash, triggering customers to buy, and as they do so, the prices begin to rise.

As you can imagine this creates a high energy event, that is great interactive fun for the customer. However, the reason it is so effective, is that the bar is in control of all of the above.

Firstly, the bar is in control of the products floated on the stock market. There is no limit to the number of items but normally just between 10 and 20 lines.

Secondly, the bar is in control of the minimum and maximum prices for each product. For example, if there are lines you wish to sell (maybe short-dated, high margin, or possibly new products) you may want to drop these slightly more than others.

And finally, the bar is in control of those all-important MARKET CRASHES. These are incredibly powerful sales driving tools. For example, traditionally maybe the bar knows that everyone leaves at nine thirty on a Friday evening. Great, so CRASH the market at nine twenty and no one is going anywhere!

Using this unique interactive model, bars can increase the length of time a customer spends in the venue. Whilst they are there, the bar can manipulate buying behaviour – whilst the customer thinks it was their idea to drink a Sherry at 8 o’clock on a Thursday evening. This is how The Drink Exchange significantly increases revenues.

Once signed up, the bar can choose how frequently and when they wish to run events – although most run weekly. It is incredibly easy to setup, it literally takes less than 10 minutes to create an event.

And the clever part, is that the system is integrated into over 100 POS systems globally . This means that the price on the TV’s, match the price on the POS. And all our integrations are fully authorised.

Ansar Allah: Has a fucked up antisemitic flag that says "A Curse Upon the Jews" on it but is also acting to help stop the genocide of Palestinians

Redditors: maddened peppino-angry "you cannot critically support these people despite their flaws while condemning their antistemitism and homophobia or you're an Islamist red fascist"

Ukrainian banderites: "Death to the Orcs, a curse upon the Jews, death to the Muslims, glory to Fascism. Russians are savage untermensch with a fundamentally violent culture", commits awful war crimes

redditors: so-true if you do not give these people unlimited supplies of weapons and support them utterly then you are a Putinist. Also if you complain about them saying racial slurs constantly you're also a Putinist.

He doesn't even says the word Ukraine, all he says is that, like all countries, the US does things for economic reasons rather than for vague platitudes.

"Haven't we sown the seeds of this with our own arrogance and cavalier approach to a lot of these foreign policy conflicts? A) we always frame these things as 'this is a battle between democracy and the free world and liberation and authoritarianism', but the truth is we're fighting for trade channels and resources. Like, this is all a function of competing capitalist powers and aren't we the ones- I mean, we've invaded more countries than Russia and China combined. So how do we give ourselves somehow the passes to be the white hat guys when a lot of our policies have created a lot of the chaos that they're taking advantage of." [Audience starts clapping]

This is what he considers antisemitic for context:

Tagging your essay with #de-radicalisation is literally the soyest thing imagibable

Also saw an account with a trans flag, which is surprising they would accommodate such a person or such a person would have those weird views on lemmygrad.

mfw the ebil communists dont actually crucify the queers like i fantasise about them doing: avgn-horror

so funny that there's people so insulated from here that they dont know we have the highest trans population of any instance on lemmy despite the fact that no one here ever shuts up about explaining it (me included) weighing in with their highly informed takes on hexbear-trans

I remember Donald trump going to a McDonalds in east Palestine, Ohio and announcing that he'd buy a big macs for everyone in the McDonalds to applause, then buying a big Mac for himself and no one else and leaving

They're somehow double drifting on both the "cracker is a hateful racial slur" track and the "the n word is just a word, what harm does it do?" track

Commenter is not adding to the quality of the dialog, instead posts obscene picture of a pig and excrement. I hope you don't find this acceptable.

New tagline pls

[-] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 89 points 2 months ago

makes a false equivalence that living in a ‘privileged first world country’ means you must be a pro-corporate lapdog

Reason why it was removed according to this guy:

One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma’s coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…
