  They are usually self-employed

  That varies wildly depending on city, county, state, and (I’m guessing) country requirements. I drove for a few years in a small-ish city, and neither me nor anyone I ran into at the usual spots were self-employed. We all worked for one of two cab companies, making hourly wages plus tip.

  “Not admissible because it was illegally captured” didn’t give me the warm-and-fuzzies this comment sounds like it should’ve.

  if your goal as a parent is to maximize success of your children.

  “Success” is very subjective.

  I agree that it’s got to be how young Lemmy skews. No one who has ever bought alcohol at a self-checkout has said, “This is so quick and convenient!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable lobby and Republicans fight proposed ban on early termination fees / Customers should be allowed to cancel cable TV without penalty, Democrats say⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the last 40 years or so, Republican voters have mostly been single-issue voters. They care very passionately about one thing, and will let almost anything else slide as a result. Being in favor of cable fees doesn’t matter as long as they’re anti-abortion. Being in favor of cutting social welfare programs that those very voters rely upon is fine as long as they’re anti-trans.

  For the most part, each voter only cares about one or two specific things, and the whole picture doesn’t really matter to them.

  I’d love to, but the text fades out after the first paragraph and is replaced with “This post is for members only.”

  No, you only need to abide by the laws of your locality. Just line within your own country in different states or counties. I can’t buy alcohol on Sunday morning in my town, but I can if I drive to the next town over.

  We can only hope one of this week’s aliens is a giant eyeball with its penis hanging out.

  And Kaufman’s twin brother writing an arguably better screenplay.
