Not even livestock. At least most farmers realise they need to keep their livestock healthy and fed in order to keep milking.

I can see why you call it disingenuous but the point of the matter is that children are getting shot. You can break it down into as many catagories as you like, the bottom line is that far too many school aged children are dying violent deaths in a world that has enough knowledge and resources to know what the solutions are to prevent it. The only thing keeping that going at this point is political fuckery.

Just send a photograph of your screen showing the requested password of 25 random characters so they have to type it out. Guaranteed their next question will be where they sign up for an account.

It would block it all the same if they parked in the spot. Assuming this person is handicapped themselves they must've figured "either I block the entire parking spot for everybody, or I block it only for those that need the loading bay area for a wheelchair lift."

I honestly think it's meant to be courteous and it does work out that way for some if this person's only alternative is to take up the whole space.

With a button you just press it to close the windows for a short stint of faster driving where having the windows down is uncomfortable. With a flange you'd probably be more inclined to leave them open because of the effort required to close them while driving. I think having your windows open even for a few short drives leads to more energy usage by increased drag than the window servo uses in the whole cars' lifetime. So I don't think it is any more environmentally friendly.

I'm guessing the time and ammo it took to kill her amounts to more dollars lost than she could ever shoplift for. Did the store get their money back? No? Then what the fuck was the point? Who was actually helped that day?

The point of having police is to make society livable. This seems to be the opposite of that.

Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.

Exactly. If it didn't pay off these companies wouldn't keep shoveling money to Facebook and Google to show their ads time and time again. Marketing is expensive. If it didn't at least break even then nobody would be doing it anymore by now. Obviously it works, otherwise I wouldn't ever know what the fuck a squarespace or a goddamn raid shadow legends is.

See, this is the fucking problem right here. You are a commoner. The person you replied to is a commoner. Compared to the ultra rich anybody but that tiny tiny subset of people are commoners. As long as we keep name calling and pointing fingers at each other this shit will never change and we'll be rolling around in the mud until we all fry under the sun.

I understand your frustration, we all feel the same way. Let's direct that frustration at the people and the system that is telling us to turn on each other simply so we are blind to how we're all being played for fools.

I truly applaud your mental fortitude. I honestly had to stop scrolling through your info graphic after passing the malaria part. I simply couldn't take it all in at once. I will come back to it tomorrow and take in another chunk of it, I'll see how far I get then but I intend to take it all in albeit in bite sized chunks.

Keep it up and I'll be looking for more of your projects later if I can handle it. The world is truly broken but I'm a firm believer that eventually we the common people will open our eyes to it and enact change. I don't know how and I wish I knew how to contribute to that in some way even though I don't believe I have the power within the current system.

Thank you.

I was going to comment something to make some more fun of you, but nothing I can say can do a better job at that than your own words here.

I was trying to point out how an act can be innocent in one context like your example of kissing your brother's newborn on the forehead can be sexual in another context. Like kissing your female subordinate on the lips while holding her head with both hands. I'm baffled that you're consistently missing the point here.

Sure because I changed my baby sister's diaper this one time when she was 3 months old so it's totally okay to pull down my coworkers pants and run a wet wipe down their asscrack in front of everybody. I normally don't like butts, let alone wiping them down but you see she just landed a major contract for our company and I was overcome with joy.

What I don't understand is how the national motto can be a religious one without breaking the first amendment.

I wonder what your experience with mercenaries is.

One time I went to a bar in Mallorca, asked "dos cervezas, por favor" and the guy went: "Was? Zwei bier??"

It was surreal to realise that nobody there actually spoke any Spanish. Outside of the tourist traps Mallorca still has some authenticity here and there but it's like the locals just hide in the shadows for the most part.

Exactly, Covid is a variant of a pretty well known class of virusses. The research on mRNA vaccines was pretty advanced as far as I gathered but testing them in trials isn't something you can easily do. There's a lot of hoops to jump through to justify trials with human subjects. When the burden of disease isn't very impactful it's hard to justify trials. Once covid came screeching around the corner suddenly the justification was easy to argue.

The starting point is a reference to school shootings where the police were too afraid to go into the school to stop the shooter.

Sure but then they'd also need to calculate the risk of Musk or X exposing the lie that X is allowing pro-nazi content. If it's such an obvious lie for the exposure in the media then there's a massive risk of being called out and exposed. The bottom line is X loses revenue and credibility due to this article and now has a huge incentive to blow the lid off this supposed conspiracy to paint X as a bastion of hate. I don't think two big companies would roll the dice on that at the same time as losing their investment by ending this ad campaign early.

And compete with amazon? By virtue of the sheer amount of wealth Bezos has accumulated it's far too late for that. You can't compete. Amazon can just sell at a loss until my new business tanks. I absolutely agree that amazon is a fantastic product from a consumer standpoint* but it's now a behemoth that is basically immune to any fair competition. It's said that America is the land of opportunity but at this point these massive corporations have long since used up that opportunity and are working hard to make sure nobody can follow them. That's simply not fair, and not a proportional reward for bezos' innovation. I'm not saying take it all away from him like some here are saying, I'm saying it's time to realise that while innovation needs to be rewarded it should be reasonable and not be an uncontrollable and never ending leech on society.
