I know a town with I think five or six large furniture (or general household item) stores basically next to each other. Big brands.
It is probably a combination of factors: The area is easy to reach by car, it's easy to supply by truck, plenty of space for storage and people actively come there to shop furniture - yes you will be competing with five different stores, but since the customer base travels quite a bit anyway, you'd be stupid to set up shop in a different town. People will walk/drive 5 minutes to check a different store if they already came all this way, but they probably won't head to a store two towns over just to compare prices.
There's this game called "Scissors, scissors, scissors". It" s like "Rock, paper, scissors" , but you can only do scissors and when two people do the same move they have to make out.
I agree. Human rights and dignity are not negotiable. Not for mass murderers, rapists, Nazis, or Jeff Bezos. Not for anyone. Disagree, oppose, undermine, fight, but do not ever dehumanise.
I mean, the plot of Ghost in the Shell sounds pretty close from what I recall: Poor people can only afford cheap bionics, but cannot repair or replace them once support ends.
I know that I am misunderstanding the headline, but I just imagined Trump ordering companies to pump the oil back into the ground because earth didn't pay any tariffs or alleviate any trade deficits.
A) Evolution is not directed. If a pre-tiger happens to be a more advantageous colour, it will have more offspring. There is no goal.
B) An orange tiger has the same camouflage from its prey's point of view as a green one, which is the thing that really matters. There is only one species a tiger is afraid of, and it's humans. I would wager that the orange also happens to act as a signal colour, both to other tigers and other predators (such as humans). Less run-ins and less territorial dispute sound pretty good.
Considering that the general consensus here already expects that? No. However if you look at the other comments and the downvotes, a significant number of people seem to forget that Palestinian civillians are being ground up between two millstones, not one.
What? Hamas, an organisation seeking to eradicate Jews, may be capitalising on the (righteous) public outcry of Israeli war crimes? They might even be lying? Absolutely impossible, my side (TM) could do no wrong!

Not meaning to dispute your core argument, but your bar for "most disgusting company" is pretty low. There are factual companies out there profiting from war and famine, misinformation and oppression.
Aber steigen Sie bei Insta, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Snap, WhatsApp und Signal aus und wechseln Sie zu - tja, zu was? Zu Xing, Mastodon und Threema? Gute Idee, wenn Sie endlich mal Ihre Ruhe haben wollen.
