  Sometimes I think a requisite period of severe poverty and/or homelessness should be requisite for every American. Like Hunger Games: Marginalization Edition.

  I’m pretty sure they don’t get paid anywhere near what they’re worth. Same old story in the US: anything that’s important to society, has to do with people’s health, safety, education, and so on.

  There should be regulation of the private sector. There has to be some accountability for these corporations. The onus can’t be on the consumer one hundred percent of the time. It really shouldn’t be at all. Buyers should only be responsible for deciding which products would be best for them and their budget, not for having to predict which corporation will utterly fuck them over the least out of the only three corporations they have to choose from when they’re all trying to scam them out of their money.

  I’m so sick of being scammed every single time I buy something. The government needs to step in and do their job instead of just handing out a few fines here and there.

  God, this entire comment section is nothing but

  “I’m not victim blaming, but…”

  “personal responsibility”

  “parents should be doing blah blah blah…no, I don’t have kids.”

  The best parents in the world still can’t control what their kids are doing every second of every day. Kids will always find ways around every single thing that’s meant to restrict what they can do, see, or hear. I’m sure you never did stuff you weren’t supposed to when you were a kid…right?

  I wonder why none of us paid subscriptions to access websites in the 90s and early 2000s? We all used MySpace, FB, LiveJournal, Make Out Club, Hot or Not, Geocities, Angelfire, NeoPets, MSN messenger, AOL messenger, the millions of chat rooms. Etc etc. We paid for time on the internet itself (like we still do) but at least then you could find one of those AOL CD ROMs with free minutes just about anywhere. You couldn’t escape them.

  There also weren’t that many ads, just some banners at the top. There were web rings and stuff to advertise each other’s sites. But it seems like once pop-up ads started, you couldn’t get rid of them ever again. There weren’t browser extensions or anything, pretty much just anti virus software you had to go to Frys to buy.

  In torrent client, set up Mullvad proxy.

  I guess this is the kind of shit people are talking about. Wtf does this even mean.

  I definitely care enough, but I can’t figure it out to save my life. All the online communities just act like everyone’s supposed to automatically already know what they’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has HP printers always been this bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the same problem with mine. It literally never recognizes the printer wirelessly unless I turn it off and on, unplug, push the wifi button, and cancel and restart the print at least a few times.

  I also found out that I’m being charged by the number of pages I print. When I signed up, I was under the impression that I would be charged for the printer ink. Apparently it’s $4/month for 20 pages or some shit like that and then $1 per every ten pages after that? How the fuck can they charge per page? Aren’t the ink cartridges what run out and need to be repurchased? But even though I get charged every month automatically, whether I use the pages or not, I don’t get sent new ink until I request it. Or buy it? And I magically lost some discount I was supposed to get after purchasing through Amazon.

  The whole thing has been a shit show. Plus the printer itself is the flimsiest piece of thin plastic that weighs nothing. I hope the FTC sues the shit out of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this whole post sounds astroturfed by people pushing the idea that workers being denied jobs is a good thing. At least I hope it is, because otherwise that means people actually believe that.

  Let’s face it, the only reason we get by is because rich people need our labor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  we need those workers to be out of jobs and on the streets

  I’m guessing you’ll be the first to volunteer then? For the greater good and all.

  Yes, that’s called being a TERF. And when anyone calls them out on it, someone goes “oh but they’re standing up for all those poor women and girls.” Gtfo.

  Reservoir was named for original settlers, the Butt Family who are buried in a secluded private cemetery near the reservoir.

  If breaking furniture and threatening to burn and drown your girlfriend isn’t abuse, then I must have missed something.

  Or maybe it’s just that abusers always stand up for other abusers and that says it all about the people who defend the guy online. Especially when he’s a complete stranger to them and they’re paying money to get court records so they can talk shit about Amber Heard on his behalf. Not pathetic at all.
