  To be fair, $65/month for gigabit fiber is pretty standard.

  It’s what I got here in Southern Illinois, although I don’t use it.

  Shouldn’t have been paying for it in the first place.

  I’ve been using pandora this entire time.

  Never really understood why people pay to stream songs when everything is on youtube for free.

  That’s the goal, and poor people are proud to support the wealthy in achieving it.

  I never go out to eat anymore. Not worth the drive and everything is ridiculously overpriced.

  Walmart+ has been a blessing because I can get groceries delivered to my house same-day.

  I think restaurants are just taking more advantage of an ever-shrinking pool of idiots.

  But the thing I always want to make clear to people is that the vast majority of people printing guns are the equivalent of the guys making kit cars in their garage - hobbyists, not criminals.

  Yes, you want to make this clear because you’re concerned about regulation. This is a political issue that you’re mentioning, nothing more.

  I was merely stating that you don’t need to print in metal to make a functional 3D printed gun.

  The VICE video I mentioned has everyone who is printing 3D guns eager to specify their stance on the political talking point, just as you did.

  Who fucking cares about porn?

  Let their parents do it.

  Just use the heat to power the machine.

  Yes… they’ve been doing it for years.

  Not even ‘oddly enough.’

  While you can’t own a bomb factory without proper authorization, something as general-purpose as a 3D printer would absolutely enjoy first amendment protections.

  Interesting tidbit: it’s not illegal to make your own guns in the US. You don’t even need a license.

  Eh. With how tribalist American politics has become, it’s usually only a matter of throwing shit to the wall to see what sticks.

  This may not stick, but if it does you can bet your sweet ass it will be a primary issue for democrats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes aside, why is this happening so much recently?

  It’s cyclical and very well understood at this point.

  A business will hire a bunch of people to meet demand and then lay them off to make the company’s earnings look better the following quarter.

  At this point, I have no sympathy for anyone targeted by these layoffs if they work for a company that has been known to do them. Real ‘leopards ate my face’, vibes.
