The same can be said for glasses and contacts too. So you have a pay once and done, or a pay forever with the same potential issues. Very few people’s vision ever get better from continual glass contact use, but it can get better permanently from lasik.

Every procedure has that risk, even a routine vaccination or stitches, strange reason to pay for glasses and contacts forever.

There are people who legitimately can’t get the surgery, but that’s obviously not who’s being discussed here.

What’s the ratio on people being worse of for vision after? Cant make a claim like that and not provide some data.

Glasses and contacts also don’t fix the issue and can lead to worse vision too, so arguably that’s non-factor in a discussion like this anyways.

LASIK is the only chance to have a permanent fix. It’s a very important factor to consider, above and beyond the complications, that are also applicable to the glasses and contacts. I’ve not heard of many people’s vision getting better by their continual use.

Pay once or pay multiple times a year? LASIK pays for itself, you’ll always be buying glasses and contacts.

You seriously thought a virtual machine would be a buyable device…?

That’s an even worse take lmfao.

It’s a KVM switch? How much specs do you need?

I had one that took a few minutes to preheat, and others that you just toss the stuff in.

But yeah, it’s a marginal time with that one I would just start it and than go grab what I want to cook and it’ll be ready by then usually.

It’s more like adding a leaf blower to it, but yeah it’s just a glorified convection oven.

Lots of modern ovens come with the feature, but you can’t just air fry in any old convection oven.

A more realistic metric would be used books (also reflects the quality of all but brand new fresh books which are a rarity obviously), but you can’t quantify that price, so yes using new is disingenuous, but go off on a rant I guess? I think it’s a great idea, but let’s not kid ourselves that people would actually be spending that amount on books. It’s great for a feel good story though, I’ll give you that.

They wouldn’t have spent 60k on books over that time, they’ve only saved that much because the books were free. If they had to pay for the books they would have been more selective and less liberal in the amount.

Spending $150 a week is just a lot of money to spend on books, it’s only that much because of the free price tag, so it’s extremely disingenuous to use that amount as people wouldn’t realistically spend that.

So your intention wasn’t to have a conversation in your original comment?

And it was 30 minutes from your first reply… as well? You’ve done the same to me dude, but I haven’t insulted or attacked you, I’ve defended my points.

Also, the apps auto refresh, you can just see a notification pop up… what’s with the insults?

Ironic considering how fast you responded to me.

And I’ve only pointed out that there was more they could have done, and they claimed they would do anything.

I’m sorry that trying to have a conversation about this upsets you so, but why do people always try to derail conversations that don’t align with their (in this case) objectively wrong views? There is a hell of a lot more they could have done to protect the land, and they claimed they would, and failed on that. Why does this upset you so much?

They could rent one, or patrol it more often than they did. They made a claim, and failed to follow through on it, and this isn’t the first time.

We promised we’d use every legal tool at our disposal to protect this land from bullies like

Thats literally what they promised to do with the money they fleeced from people though….

We promised we’d use every legal tool at our disposal to protect this land from bullies like…

They did less than that actually, it’s this premise that they broke and is what I was talking about, they made a claim, they didn’t even do the bare minimum to protect it, when they said they would do anything.

Look at every single discussion that missed this detail and says they did the bare minimum, that’s NOT what they promised to do with the money. Lots of people knew this was marketing and a waste of money, and were pointing this out, they never intended to protect it, just looked everything else they took your money and laughed. And that’s all I said.

They said they would do anything possible, I’m calling out they did the bare minimum, or less when they said they would do ANYTHING. This is the extremely important detail everyone seems to be ignoring, they PROMISED to do anything possible, which they failed to do.

Just because I have a different opinion or see things in a. Different light doesn’t make me arguing in bad faith, that’s a fallacy people use to derail from their circle jerks.

Just buying land gives complete legal ownership and stewardship to the owner. They’re not obligated to shit with it, and they bought it exactly so they could do nothing with it: keep it natural and pristine.

Squatters and adverse possession says otherwise… they also didn’t just claim they would keep it natural and pristine, they claimed they would protect it.

Governments can also force you to sell your land….

You seem to weirdly be invested in Cards Against Humanity being in the wrong, with the weird takes. They did exactly what they were expected to do- keep it pristine. What gives you any impression at all there were different expectations? Just flat out wrong.

What? They said they would protect it from billionaires, they failed on that didn’t they? Just like their deep hole they couldn’t do.

Your whole comment reads like one of Musk’s alt accounts trying to rub defense lol. If you expressed any semblance of understanding why and how CAH acquired the land before you began with “this isn’t the first time they failed expectations, why didn’t they build anything?!,” maybe you’d get better replies

I do understand how they got the land, why do you claim I don’t?

They have failed before.

Where did I say they need to build something? I have gotten better replies, thank you, you’re just a piece of work apparently.

You don’t need to develop land to protect it, farmers use fences, it lets people know like hunters to not use their land. You also kinda need a presence, or even your neighbor will use your l as if they notice you’re never there….

Yes that can go on the border, and almost every farmer knows to do this to prevent people like hunters from accidentally using your land.

You can’t just buy land and expect people to not use it, that’s almost negligence for anyone who spent their money expecting CAH to do this, if anything they’ve opened themselves to be sued by the people who spent the money doing this in the first place.

That did a good job didn’t it? Plenty of ample evidence that worked eh?

Did I say they need to build anything on it? How did you get that from my comment?
