  Even before that they have been accused of not buying stocks ordered by users, then buying at sell order and waiting for the price to raise to sell so they get a profit. It’s been questioned a long time.

  If you read a lot of news, it’s really clear Tor isn’t protecting anyone from the FBI. It’s about as effective as using limewire at this point. Which also, the reporting makes it pretty clear it’s not effective to hide criminal acts in the least. But it’s pretty great abusers think it’s effective so they get caught.

  And there’s that ignorant privilege. No one is coming out to Kern County to build stop lights, let alone a some how functioning public transit system, our best bet would be high speed rail out here, and you can thank one individual billionaire for fucking that up. What are we supposed to do? Use our voting power of a low population county to address billionaire’s fucking us too hard? I drive my neighbors out of town if they need me to, I do what I can, there’s no options, you get access to a car or you die.

  I live two hours into the desert past Battlefield. If I don’t have access to a car, I’m not getting to anything, we don’t even have a hospital that will do live birth less than an hour away, no neurologists, nothing. We have a rural health clinic that mostly directs people to the ER. If someone really has an emergency they might get a helicopter ride if they’re luck. Or they might get to experience a 2hr ambulance ride. Which my wife has done two. Now, I can walk some places in town. But a lot of it isn’t even paved, if you see those bicycles with the huge fat wheels, those are pretty great out here actually, lots of sand to get trapped in, not a lot of paved road.

  It’s not a option, I’m not messing with you, when I was a kid you could actually ride a bus out of town, it drove to the Mojave greyhound stop, which is literally just a parking lot, not an actual building of any kind, but that ended by 2002. There’s no options, you car, or walk, or bike, or mad max on a go cart, but the cops WILL pull you over and ticket you, those fuckers have nothing to do and we’re so go at hiring LAPD officers that get fired for gross misconduct that we actually shut down our PD for a good 5 years and just asked CHP to come by every few weeks. Which I really wish we stuck to that, put PD now seems to only harass people with old cars who aren’t white enough.

  Oh yeah, the other side is just the info on who put the tag in, and identifying the equipment so people don’t rotate the same tags to other equipment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Danger⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to put these on broken equipment, intensely fucking annoying job, had my boss cut one off, plug back in the unit, call me into his office to chew me out for DARING to lock out tag out a working unit, and then the fire alarm goes off. Guess what started the fire? I couldn’t quit fast enough.

  Oh boy. No he has a male to female transgender child, who he intentionally calls by their given name at birth, Also he really switched over to being conservative and anti-trans after said child came out to him. Usually parents go the other way, but he went the extreme hate direction and has seemingly said his child is dead to him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨humble, introverted self asks for your advice about human behavior at the workplace. Please read below:⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

   You're mostly over reacting. You're on the first few days, months, or year at this work environment, you're not going to feel plugged in to it by yourself or coworkers right off the bat. You're also making the mistake a lot of people make in any interpersonal interaction, you had one good interaction, and you didn't get reciprocated treatment, so you assume it's not working.  One interaction isn't enough, you need many, at least 10-12 interactions are more realistic.  Your new, so the burden is on you to provide the majority of the interaction. 
      You aren't wrong AT ALL about not going out of your way to interact with people who seem distant, or standoffish with you. Not being forceful with interactions shows respect and intelligence. Go for natural interactions and remember, you're a dozen more interactions away from even seeing if this is working. At the same time focusing on people who are friendly and open to you is a wise choice, some people won't warm up to you until you have established connections in their workplace. 
   Also as an introvert that worked in sales for a long time, you're not understanding what introvert means, or maybe the way you're talking about it is awkward to me. Introverts make great sales people, I can talk to an introvert on day one and say ''when you're asking if they want the service package, you have to explain all service after purchase is 100% free, and includes a regular yearly maintenence service, and all can be in home service, they think it's an extended warranty if you don't explain it's a service package" and they will get all points across every pitch, and typically they will focus on word choice and reading customers. Extroverts? It's at least three conversations about this, and I have to coach their word choices. 
   Introvert just means you're exhausted by socially interact with others, it doesn't mean you bad at it, or you fear it, it mostly means you're not having fun when your talking to someone, you're working. Lots of benefits in that, and lots of draw backs, but it's not a lack of capability in you, it's just a skill, and like every skill you need to practice before you get good at it. Also leaving yourself stretches of no social interactions during your work day so you don't get burned out is also a very good idea. 
   Your on the right path, just be consistent, and accept it takes time to get folded in at a workplace, and never take it personal. If you're there for more than a year and you feel like they haven't accepted you, then there's some serious problems at that particular workplace that are out of your control, and you might consider moving on, or location change, whatever your profession allows in your favor.

  Inbreeding is a lot more common in other species, humans are the most closely related species on the planet we are VERY suseptible to incest and population collapse. If you look at species around you, like crows or ravens, you’ll find out they’re not just one kind, but multiple unique populations all around your area.

  There’s this song by Wall of Voodoo called ‘‘Far Side of Crazy’’, go listen to that a few times then come back and read the rest of the comment.

  spoiler

  pretty cool song right?

  spoiler

  Anyway, It’s about John Hinckley, a lot of the lyrics were lifted from a sort of manafesto he wrote, he tried to assassinate Ronald Regan, he had a lot of mental health issues, and he watched Taxi Driver, and decided to do what he titular character does in the film by assassinating a politician, it’s not clear if he infestation Jodie Foster was a seperate person from the character she played in the film, but his motivation was to impress her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey guys I love Jodie Foster so much any tips on how someone like me can impress her?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone who knows who Hickley was historically, as he was released recently, and there’s video of Regan doing his ‘missed me’ joke at rallies making it’s rounds ever few months, I’d say pretty much anyone with internet or reads the newspaper likely knows.

  She’s a 61 year old lesbian, with two adult kids, married to her wife of ten years. She’s a hugely respected actor who’s a household name, and undoubtedly has a net worth that could probably buy an island. I don’t think you’re gonna crack this nut, homie.

  He’s a huge fucking asshole. He’s also why I learned in my late 30s that his music WASN’T about being a bisexual atheist who mocked heteronormative Christianity. I was just projecting.

  I can only listen to his music when I’m willing to think interpritation is as valid as intent.

  That’s actually a petty definable line between animation and live action, but some action films have enough animation to be considered a mix of the twon in a least some cases.

  Wow, that’s a good point, but some people may take it the wrong way and say things like ‘what taco bell are we meeting up to plan to depose the current massively corrupt Supreme… taco?’ ‘Is surprise attacks on Taco Bell’s military installations a viable objective?’ ‘Would the taco bell ‘fresh crew’ join the efforts to over turn the corporate structure?’ ‘Or would we all just move to Spain and enjoy the authentic taste of a secular society with universal healthcare and tapas as far as the eye can see’?

  They don’t drug test on SNAP Benifits, because everytime the GOP tries to pass a bill to do so, the ways and means committee reminds them that it would more than double the cost of the SNAP program to pay for even the most lenient drug testing. But they do try every few years.

  They would rather pay more than the entire program already, to get those filty poors off assistance.

  Also some fun facts, most SNAP recipients are children, most are white, and most make enough money to no longer need assistance in under 5 years, at which point they are back to paying taxes. Which pays for SNAP. Making the system quite self- sustaining. It’s cost is minuscule to tax payers, and yet it’s a constant wedge issue, why? Because of America’s greatest fear, that if we do something that benefits people, we might accidently help the wrong people. People who aren’t even white.
