  You think that's bad, you should take a gander at the official news sources in Jacksonville Florida. I don't know if they're still this bad, but as I recall they have not one, but at least two big news publications, both produce articles that look like they were written by grade schoolers. Anything that wasn't copy/pasted from the AP seems to be written hastily by somebody who dropped out before understanding English. I'm sure many other cities have the same issue. The one is called news five or Jax 5 news, and the other is first coast news. They'll hire anybody to write apparently.

  Remember they said light poles on the highway were taken out by the plane's wings too? That's not even a remote possibility in my mind, cause those poles were like a few feet wide and made of reinforced steel, in theory a plane should just lose its wings and shake, or maybe bend the pole while leaving it standing. But that would explains the lack of any wing impact on the building. Also that wall (only that one wall weirdly enough) was reinforced in such a way as to withstand missile strikes I've read. This would explain either version of events, cause the wall would implode the wings on impact most likely leaving little trace aside from small debris, which... don't even get me started on the debris, but would also be likely if there never were wings, like in a missile strike scenario which may have rendered those light poles destroyed by accident for all we know. Either way it's suspicious as fuck we only ever got 2-3 frames of the security gate footage, and none from the gas station I believe it was across the street who caught the whole picture.

  Because the FBI gave the terrorists all the training, weapons, and about $2bn in cold hard cash money that lead to them being able to commit the act. Because "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams", although it does weaken steel beams. Because engineering and demolition experts came out and said the whole thing seemed coordinated exactly in the way in which they coordinate twar downs for a living. Because the terrorists who on the same day planned to blow up the George Washington Bridge got sent home on a plane and were never spoken about publicly again. Because it was obvious Saidi Arabia had a hand in it, which later became confirmed fact, and we're buddy buddy with Saudi, so somebody had to have known something was going to happen but didn't sufficiently try to stop it on our side of the water. Because the Bin Laden family and the Bush family have a weird amount of connections. Be cause conspiracy theory culture was seen as more typical/harmless, and less of a thing for Nazi terrorists like today. Because the FBI had Bin Laden dead to rights in 1998 and had a bedside conversation with him instead of taking the opportunity to kill him while he was on dialysis. Because the 40 years that preceded 9/11 were lousy with proven incidence where our leadership, specifically the FBI & CIA in conjunction with corrupted presidents, in which American citizens were coerced, sabotaged, drugged, tortured, and killed, and all the leaders had to say about it was ‘whoopsy doopsy, so sowwy’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my area it's like they want you to be poor. Those legitimately posted listings in my area are exclusively "scams", in that they will technically hire some people through those listings, but in reality they're just hiring immigrant labour for pennies on the dollar, and using state-funded labour agencies to promote these jobs which objectively could not support American citizens. I've seen one listing that said they wanted harvesters for crops, they were paying by the amount picked, not an hourly wage. This is a classic scam where you end up getting less than minimum wage, and the Federal government has to step in after the fact to get you up to the disgustingly low minimum wage to make up for that discrepancy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does ripping a CD/DVD work exactly? Is it similar to copying or does it leave the CD/DVD unusable?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Discs are harder to ruin than they're made out to be. My best example is a physical copy of grand theft auto san Andreas for the original Xbox. I got a free old copy that was considered useless, because it wouldn't read, the shiny side of the disc was scratched pretty deeply. I took it to the game store and told them "I know this probably won't work, but humor me, run this through the resurfacer please", which cost me $2. They have a $30,000 machine which actually grinds an even surface on the shiny side, adding a new layer of plastic they said, but it did in fact work first try. I still use that disc to play the game with no issues whatsoever. If anything, it's the least glitchy copy of GTA I own physically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it possible to start a business if you have no money and skills, but have an idea?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don't. Don't take this to be discouraging, you can easily learn the skills, but you can't have no skills, money, or plan, and just send your ideas out into the universe to succeed. It takes time to learn how to do business in whatever field you're planning to enter with your idea. You may get lucky or utilize connections or charisma to get where you want to be, but literally nothing but an idea? Prove your idea and sell it. Otherwise it's just not that great of an idea after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it possible to start a business if you have no money and skills, but have an idea?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don't have money to protect the idea legally speaking, you'd just be giving your idea away to a richer person by doing this.

  even if it means providing value for some of the stupidest and most malignant people in the world at the same time

  This is so emblematic of the human condition. Poisoning ourselves to relieve stress, buying slave-made clothes to stay warm. Burning our skin to attract mates. Toxifying our own environment for convenience. Humans really are some dumb ass creatures. We are reaping what we sow.

  I sure hope you're right. If enough of the country hasn't realized this dude isn't on their side, we will see a dictatorship unfold, with all the bells and whistles that come with.

  Where two groups who are diametrically opposed to one anothers' ways of life must share a home, war is inevitable.

  I dunno, that's pretty subjective really. I've seen people who do hard stuff like heroin and meth just straight up quit after using shrooms once, having had an epiphany that they need to live cleaner. Then I've seen a young guy stay awake for days talking about how he found the secret to never dying, because he realized sleep is a conspiracy... So maybe you're right, I dunno lol.

  It's more obvious than that even; their SEC paperwork states that adblockers are a risk to their profits. That's more than enough info to assume they're going to go to war in the near future (now) with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landlords Throw Party to Celebrate Being Able to Evict People Again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can relinquish your property if you do not like the conditions of your arrangement. No one is forcing you to be a landlord and "only" take in a meager profit. You shouldn't even be profiting off people simply living, so suck it up, buttercup. And nobody is referring to you when they're talking about greedy corporate landlords. They're mostly talking about Blackstone specifically, and other big companies that follow the Blackstone playbook.

  I swear the way IT people speak about non-IT people is so funny. You guys act like everyone is borderline retarded because they don't know intricate details of your hobby/career. Acting like you're a part of some other group that doesn't understand human beings and their attraction to shiny things. It's like watching an alien try to sneak into society.
