“Thank God that senile fool is finally out of the way” - All of our coworkers after we die at 80.

Functional in the sense that people are able to make transactions with their credit cards. Trump would have zero hesitation to just destroying that system as part of some tantrum if he had control of it. Private companies controlling it will at least fight to keep it working as that is in their best interest. Is it the best option for consumers? No, but it’s the best option under the current administration. We have to deal with that problem before we start giving things over to government control.

No, but we shouldn’t be arguing in favor of them until we deal with the more pressing matters.

And Trump has proven that reasoning invalid. Things are never going back to the way they were before now that he’s shown just how much you can get away with. Until mechanisms are put in place to prevent such corruption and deal with his kind we can’t trust the government to handle anything.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
I already said it wasn’t ideal. At least Trump had to do some shit first to fuck with tiktok. You think that wouldn’t have been immediate if tiktok was controlled by the government?
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
It’s not ideal but at least people aren’t getting their credit cancelled because they said something mean about Trump online.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
Which is the situation we’re dealing with here.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
A corrupt government can also be bought off by the companies to not fuck with things so that they at least remain functional.
In an ideal world, yes I’d rather these things be regulated in a way that the companies are accountable but that is not the world we live in. Moving this to the public sector now would just put even more power into the hands of our horrible government. Better to have everything split up so all the greedy malicious assholes are looking out for themselves than to have it all in the hands of one group who will do whatever they want with nothing to impede them. Regardless of consequences. Fix the government first , then give them control. You can’t legislate based off the idea that it will only be well intentioned responsible adults running things.

I just looked it up on Google maps and yeah, that appears to be the case. All the nearby hotels have highways or a river between them and the stadium.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
At least the private company would act in their own interest to preserve profits. Trump will gladly blow the whole thing up regardless of consequences just to feed his ego. Like with the tariffs.
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
So then you do understand how having our transactions controlled by the government is a bad thing?
- Comment on Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun 3 days ago:
You want trump in control of our commerical transactions?

I just tried a few of his songs on youtube and confirmed it’s definitely not my thing. Other people can like what they like though.

One of my friends is going through a divorce and one of the reasons his wife gave us is that he would sit in his car in the driveway and look at his phone for a bit when he got home. There are other reasons but that one stuck out to me.

Yeah I’m short as fuck and socially inept. They’re certainly not going to date me because I’m attractive.
- Comment on The radical woke subliminal message in Bad Bunny's halftime performance 5 days ago:
I didn’t watch the halftime show. I don’t listen to him and likely will not in the future, but I do enjoy the fact that his existence forced the MAGA boomers I work with to suffer a kid rock performance. Thanks Bad Bunny.

Also an awful lot of it is about being submissive and letting people take advantage of you. At least based off what I see getting quoted all the time. Weird how it’s always people who’re trying to control you quoting it.

Definitely. He just wears his tennis shoes all the time though.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 1 week ago:
I don’t but my dad does. His excuse is that just wearing socks he always steps in something wet. To which I had to wonder “Why is stepping in wet shit such a common occurrence at your house?”
- Comment on A line more crushing than "are you almost finished" 1 week ago:
I once got “I wish you were taller 😟”, literally seconds before I was going to put it in. I’d be lying if I said that didn’t take the wind out of my sails. This was someone I’d been with for like a year and slept with many times previously too.

- Comment on Should I be using Debian? 1 week ago:
I have a headless Debian server I’ve used for hosting media for like 10 years now with 0 issues that weren’t hardware failures. It’s solid as a rock. That said if you already have stuff up and running and you’re not having any problems there’s no reason to touch it.

- Comment on Ah, customer service 1 week ago:
I had that happen when I was on call once. Some guy called me at like 4am having internet problems with his laptop and I asked him like the basic troubleshooting questions and he got pissed an hung up (he had woken me up so I might have sounded bitchy but I was trying to help). Then he called back at like 11am still having problems and I got him up and running and he was like “wow thanks! the guy I talked to this morning was an asshole.”
