That’s not really what you did and not what I was talking about? Like at all? Brother, your low literacy level ain’t gunna be my problem, go figure that out on your own time.

That’s not humour and you’re just embarrassed for being called out.

You brought it up! Unless you’re going through a multiple personality disorder thing the guy I replied to is you talking about his reasons.

Why make up a conspiracy when they’re telling you to your face what they’re doing? Trump literally read outloud a note passed to him in a meeting, he has no filter left and he’s never been subtle.

Ya’ll please just deal with the issues in front of you. There’s no secret motivation that will change and then make the problem go away, the problem is just what it is and needs to be dealt with.

ICE is doing a bunch of illegal stuff and Democrats are like “surely if we make a law and ask them to stop slowdown nicely…”

Capitalism: “The customers get decide what suceeds and what fails!”

Capitalism: “What a load of horseshit, and they’ll eat it up, too, the idiots.”

Always incredible to me how staunch supporters of capitalism are routinely ok with handouts to the tune of billions of dollars when they aren’t getting any real benefit. They’re even the type say they don’t negotiate with terrorists and I guess they’re right, since they just immediately fall to their demands.

Tens of millions of people fell in line behind him. The US was already completely fucked and there’s no hiding from that. Trump didn’t do anything people weren’t itching to hear and to latch onto.

The final straw. After that maybe the ultimate straw! Heaven help us if we ever get to the terminal straw, that one’s a doozey!

Right? Swear to god I want to throw anyone who says “this most recent thing is the start of the descent into…”, or whatever other similar nonsense, into a big hole in the ground. Weak cowards who want the thrill of being close to danger but who never want to actually walk the walk.

I think it falls more precisely under “you don’t respect my authority I’m not going to respect your humanity.”

There are plenty of times a refusal to comply is a form of violence and I don’t want to give them any undue credit.

The party of “nothing to hide, nothing to worry about” sure really doesn’t want anyone looking into their stuff haha

To cowards, this is violence.

I’m saying that you have to do more. Taking some pictures of them might be easy but the reason the US is where it is is because a bunch of weak-willed people refused to anything truly effective because it was difficult.

I’m sure glad I’m not in the US, but likewise I still have the same anger towards my fellow Canadians for being too chicken-shit to actually stand up for themselves. Fuck, convincing a lot of us to just vote for our beliefs is hard enough.

They’ll feel a little scared, because they’re cowards, but if nothing actually happens they’ll just use it to justify more violence where people don’t fight back with any teeth.

They wrap it all up as freedom of speech, forgeting how fucking stupid they sound while desperately wishing the concept of hate-speech would go away except when they try to use it by saying that “cis” is a slur because these people have two malfunctioning braincells at best.

No one’s ever held him accountable, why should he get better if it’s been working the whole time?

There’s definitely a real weird light coming off her hair. Suspicious at the very least.

I think they’re saying, in a literal sense but still, something like “the first hit is free”. These companies have made us all poor enough to be easily attracted to these “deals” and once we have no choice they screw us directly.

Walmart had that as their whole thing, maybe still do. Go into a town and undercut the fuck out of their local businesses, using other Walmart locations as welfare providers, and then jacking up prices once the competition has been obliterated and no one has the capital to bring them back because half the town works at the big box store that doesn’t pay them fuck-all.

I quite like that I can access my D&D character sheets or my CV through iCloud. I like that if my phone suddenly exploded my stuff is backed-up. I like that Steam has cloud saves on top of local ones. That is about where it ends, though. The idea of renting a computer, especially from these goons, is completely ridiculous and I hope people don’t validate it just so they can play expensive games(cheaper games needing less intense hardware exist and are often really, really good).

So, there are clear benefits but you’re right that after a point it’s just not worth it. I’d rather fuck around with emailing myself copies of things than let the entire tech world take over our lives like this.

I didn’t fuck up and I always got the “default” $500CAD.
