Aldi definitely has that. It's a way for them to keep prices down by cutting back on labor. No cart attendant necessary.

What else did BJ's have that was a quarter?

Burt shall be condemned to taking Aldi shoppers' carts from their car to the corral and then walking the quarter from the corral back to the shopper — for etern--ity.

I don't want to find out. It might be a virus.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None is neither a book for all nor a book for none. It's only for a very few. One might even say its intended for an audience of one. Discuss.
Also, its a work of post-apocalyptic fiction.

Abrahamic tradition under nihilistic direction might not be what anyone wants, but it’s what we have. Accelerating iconoclasm turns the world onto The Nothing. Nietzsche was right to interpret the only global history as this. There is no way out of it because it is itself the ultimate outside.
The Nothing repels belief, not only psychologically, but more fundamentally. Even those who would make it their cause cannot do so. Thus it mocks us, without malice. Nothing (alone) is sacred. We can only wreathe it – always inappropriately – in mad hubbub. In this way it is apparently entertained.
not gonna lie I'm super bummed that I can't be a servant of The Nothing.

That might have had something to do with Nietzsche trying to bang Wagner's wife (and undoubtedly failing miserably.)

I know it's nerdy and cringe and nobody cares, but I do like me some jreg.
I starting to think post-left means nothing and is just something the left made up to insult other leftists. Probably the most ill-defined term I can think of.
