I didn’t find anything in the UK, but I found in Ireland cardnado.ie I don’t know if UK cards work in Ireland or vice versa.

And the shockingly detailed data is in no way shockingly detailed. It’s my name, email, and some food I buy.

It is very much so. This article only barely scratches the surface and with AI it is going to get a lot worse

Not available here unfortunately.

Ireland. Shitty Government lets everything slide. They are about to take over the EU presidency, they are heavily lobbied by the US Big-Techs - Watch what they try to pass in regards to privacy (removing it) over the next 6 months.

I will try to see if something like that is available.

That you couldn’t give a hoot etc. shows that you don’t really understand what is happening or are very naive. Nothing wrong with that, it’s normal, but it is worth looking into a little deeper, especially stores like Tesco. When prices are already artificially higher than they should be, and they are trebling the price of some items to get people to get their cards, you should be wondering why. They are not only making money from selling the items to you, but from selling your data to others. They also use the data in many ways, probably many unethical. With that much power and money and what is going on around the world currently with lobbying etc. it is definitely something that should be looked at. You should look up personalised pricing as well as here and you might start to notice that you have paid for those trips to Alton Towers and Blackpool (probably twice over). With a few companies trialing software as we speak. New York introduced a law too.

As for the imaginary markup

Tesco

LIDL

ALDI (No discount card)

SuperValu ‘sale’ price but applicable to everyone not cardholders.

Dunnes Stores Same as above

Centra €0.59 same as above and Centra are known for being more expensive

They are also €0.49 in Londis, Gala, Daybreak and Costcutter (no online listings) and €0.59 in Mace and EuroSpar (also known for being expensive)

The list of products that it happens with is huge, you could check the same wherever you are.

Apparently it’s not done in Lidl everywhere. It’s called “Lidl Plus”.

I guess it boils down to marketing etc. So. Maybe the government shouldn’t outright ban it, but it should definitely have stricter rules. The ‘discount’ price shouldn’t be allowed to be advertised as though it is the main price - with the original price being smaller and easier to go unnoticed. But also the reason why the cards exist should be more transparent. Data collecting. The people that do not have the cards are being charged more. But the people that do have them are being monitored more easily.

Again. For the final time. You. Don’t. Understand. What. You. Are. Talking. About.

That’s a good thing. You can learn later on.

What or why would I refute anything you say? It’s obvious that you don’t really understand boxing, it’s level of corruption and how that exhibition was played out. You have already staggered with attempts to put words in my mouth/text twice that I didn’t mention anything even close to. I have no interest in going any further with somebody showing and starting with those traits.

As I said, you continue thinking what you like, but don’t contaminate other people’s thoughts with your nonsense.

😅😅🤡

You’re only saving grace is that you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

You keep telling yourself that. Tyson barely threw a punch.

Kid yourself all you want, but don’t try and contaminate the rest of the world with your nonsense.

Tyson reportedly interested in Turki Alalshikh’s offer, never got a reply from Jake Paul.

Never knew that, but I’m guessing he profits from his unlikeable traits, just from what I’ve seen online about him and how he markets himself.

😅

As the sub states - It is just mildly infuriating. But to reply to that - I don’t want to get into a discussion about this, so I probably will just leave it here.

The States that governing bodies oversaw his fights are far more lenient than other places, CSAC, TDLR (Tyson fight his licence was expired and renewed in record time), OSAC and FSBC. Had he not the money and followers, most, or not one of his ‘fights’ would ever have gone ahead.

Other than the people whose jobs require it, I have never spoken to or heard a person that was involved in or heavily fanatical about boxing dare refer to him as a boxer. It is only the clueless ‘casual’ fans, his youtube followers, the marketers and the people that work for them. JFH exhibition bouts were called exactly that, and are not to be confused with his professional career. Jake Paul has only ever had exhibition fights afaik. There is so much more to look at and talk about, but money talks. I just feel extremely sorry for all of the pro boxers that will never get a fair ranking despite being able to (without question) run rings around him without having to train too hard for the fight.

He is a professional exhibitionist or a professional exhibition fighter at best.

I couldn’t name one other single person who has fought most of their professional career against basketballers, UFC, retirees and other non professional boxers that are allowed to call themselves ‘professional boxers’. It brings the already struggling sport into further disrepute. The fixing has now gone mainstream. The Netflix goons talking about the good it’s doing for boxing when it is doing the opposite…

Okay, okay… I am starting to get a little more into this ‘mildly infuriating’ topic than planned. I will leave it there, with plenty more that could be said.

Tyson was definitely fixed.

1. I guess a wikipedia volunteer decided to classify him as that, and maybe another agreed.

2. No idea. I guess it would entail trying to prove that he setup, paid and that the fights were mostly scripted.

He has only has 13 fights, hopefully the Joshua fight will finally show him up. ‘win’ or lose.

They play better without him
