I really hope they do. An example needs to be made of crunchy roll too, but the individual human person who made this decision and anyone who participated by opening the mail themselves needs to be hauled into court prosecuted, and then spend some time in prison.

- Comment on Republicans suggest in 'private' that they would be better off if Trump loses: GOP insider 4 months ago:
You must live in some alternate reality where Donald Trump isn’t responsible for severely damaging the functionality of the American government, didn’t cause a constitutional crisis, and hasn’t completely broken the ability of the federal government to prosecute federal crimes against Republicans.

Right wing European autocrats cribbing notes from American Republicans. It shouldn’t be surprising that it goes both ways

I’m curious where you are that a business line doesn’t cost more than a residential one because in my area it’s three times as much. I am fortunate enough that I get symmetrical gigabit for $90 a month and although they don’t promise static IP my IP has not changed in a while.
If I wanted to get a real static IP I would have to upgrade to a business line It would cost $280 a month.

Have you ever met the kind of people that keep rats as pets? I’m gonna guess that at least 1% of them have tasted rat milk.

- Comment on The Tech Plutocrats Dreaming of a Right-Wing San Francisco 11 months ago:
It really is so much easier to destroy than it is to build.
And I agree with you, A little bit of vandalism goes a long way to mucking things up.
- Comment on The Tech Plutocrats Dreaming of a Right-Wing San Francisco 11 months ago:
If you maintain public goods for the good of the public you have a lot less crime. It’s precisely because there is such extreme wealth that is not paying to maintain the public goods that we have the crime.
The people destroying the stuff are doing that because they have been robbed of a place in society and their futures have been foreclosed to them.
Building hostile anti-human infrastructure, housing that costs 60 hours a week to live in, and unaffordable food that the government subsidizes to make MORE expensive are all not so subtle ways to tell these people that society does not value them.

Prices only go up. If a price is allowed to fall then the gravy train stops and the owner class gets really salty.
- Comment on Investigative journalist friendlyjordies gets firebombed as a silencing tactic, police do nothing, eventually forcing them to take down their investigation. 11 months ago:
Politicians corrupt cronies fund politicians party and get that party’s protection. It seems pretty obvious now that that’s what happened.
It’s almost literally the plot of the beekeepers If it took place in Australia and it was a shitty real estate company rather than scam call center.

- Comment on Good news, everyone! We temporarily stopped the orphan crushing machine! 1 year ago:
I didn’t.
Crippling medical debt that builds interests rapidly and can’t be discharged through bankruptcy. It helped fill out my plate alongside the student loan debt that builds interest rapidly and can’t be discharged or bankruptcy.
- Comment on Good news, everyone! We temporarily stopped the orphan crushing machine! 1 year ago:
Despite having health insurance I’ve lost my life savings three times now to medically necessary surgery that my insurance only covered a portion of. Insurance that cost a quarter of my income.
When I was in my twenties, I got a hernia. 16k out of pocket.
A bit later, a chair at work collapsed and I broke my wrist, workers comp paid for everything treatment wise including physical therapy, my wrist is still messed up, but workers comp showed me that actual medical care IS possible.
In my thirties, I broke both my ankles when I was knocked down some stairs on the way to catch a bus to work. I went to work, worked 6 hours on broken ankles and then took a bus to the hospital that decided my insurance would only cover one, and the other one was going to be mostly out of pocket. 12k out of pocket.
and then had a polyp on my vocal cord. Health insurance covered about 2000 of that leaving me with an 8k bill. My supplemental Aflac insurance covered the cost of a taxi (up to 40 dollars one way!) to the doctor for follow up appointments.
Now I can’t walk right, can’t lift shit, and can barely afford insurance, I need a follow up surgery for my hernia and I’m better off losing my job and going on medicaid than trying to keep a job and pay for it myself.
I’ll be renting forever

Okay this seems like it makes the most sense. Maybe he sensed the ring was worth the risk.

Man I wish I fucking knew the context of this. Why did the guy come over in the first place? Where did the girl go? How did dude know instantly when he looked up at the guy while he was on his knee that he had to starch this fellow?
- Comment on Intel CEO claims 18A node will at least match TSMC's N2 performance and beat it to market 1 year ago:
We can’t limit our supply chain for strategic resources to preserve an incentive to defend an ally. That’s nutty.
Chips are the kind of thing where they’re just aren’t enough of them being made. If we come up with a new way to produce more of them cheaply, that won’t suddenly flood the market with cheap chips It will just marginally bring down the price of chips they compete with.
There’s also a zero sum thing going on here, It’s not just that we need chips We need to make sure the China doesn’t get them and that strategic goal remains regardless of whether or not we start producing them elsewhere too.
- Comment on Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time 1 year ago:
Tesla should be out millions for this. The autopilot feature is a gimmick and not at all transparent. They’re beta testing on the public and people are dying because of it. This is a corporate decision that needs to have corporate consequences over and above legal ones. People shouldn’t just be getting minor fines, they should be going to prison and losing absolutely everything.

- Comment on Back in my day 1 year ago:
When we moved to the middle of nowhere and couldn’t even get channels over the air, my sister and I wore through every tape on the house.
The worst was being 9 years old desperately trying to find the second half of Lonesome Dove because you only got most of the episodes on some random VHS.
We must have worn the sound off of The Princess Bride, splash, Aladdin and the little mermaid. For a 9 year old boy living in the hinterlands after growing up in a city, Ariel singing “I want to be where the people are” hit me right in the feels.
- Comment on By letting the capitalistic class write the laws we let them dictate the morality of the country. 1 year ago:
Things that are social constructs can be modified with the social contract and should be modified to suit the will of the governed.
Social constructs that operate without the approval of the membership seem to be bad constructs that should probably not be built that way.
- Comment on Be nice to doggy or you will have a woof time. 1 year ago:
I got (attempted) robbed at gunpoint in my home one time. The only real warning we had was the dogs barking considering they never barked ever.
If the dogs hadn’t warned us, it might have taken longer to call the police and it could have taken them even longer than 1.5 hours to drive 6 city blocks to our house and arrest the concussed wannabe hardasses that tried to rob us.
Good dogs.
