  • Hold up... i get what you are saying.

    Oh, good, you're not stupid!

    [proceeds to strawman some bullshit of us vs them into my mouth]

    Ah, nope, nevermind, I had too much hope. See, the time for empathy is before someone starts killing innocent children with their ignorance, not after they've already started dying. It's okay, I forgive your stupidity. Better luck next time, sport, but I have better things to do than try to make random internet strangers less stupid, that's a you problem and I'm keeping it that way. Bye now! <3

  • All of that is true.

    However, it does say where this kid died. In West Texas. Where there are large swathes of undervaccinated children because of their anti-vax parents.

    See how that works? Or is the power of inference beyond you?

  • So where does it say in the original article that these parents didn't get their kid vaccinated because they couldn't afford it? I must've missed that. See I'm pretty sure it was because they deliberately chose to leave their kid vulnerable to infectious disease, but if you have evidence proving the contrary (not just an article saying "some people don't because they can't afford it" -- something actually relating to these specific parents who lost a child, demonstrating that they couldn't afford it), please, do enlighten me.

  • I feel sorry for the kid, but at the same time, I hope the funeral is the most painful, drawn out event for their parents, that everyone who comes lets them know exactly whose fault it is that their child is dead. I hope it's a learning experience for them.

  • I dunno, maybe provide such a good service that it makes me want to pay, voluntarily? Like I do with Steam?

    also, "you aren't paying them, therefor they have the right to invade your privacy and serve malicious ads to you" is such a stupid, shit take. Are you some megacorp CEO's personal ball-gargler or something?

  • see, I don't negotiate with terrorists, so I use PopUpOFF and Bypass Paywalls Clean. Also AdNauseam, TrackMeNot, CanvasBlocker, and SponsorBlock to round out the "fuck you, fuck your ads, and fuck your tracking" suite.

    Hostile consumer practices becoming ubiquitous? Become a hostile consumer.

  • It's somehow worse when you do get the sleep, but your brain has decided to do this in your dreams. You wake up feeling angry and, rapidly, can't remember half the reason why.

  • This is the same company that sells an entire printer at a loss, as a semi-disposable item, so you'll be suckered into buying their proprietary ink cartridges at the low low price of an arm and a dick. Inefficiency? From the company that makes disposable fucking printers? yeah that sounds about right.

    and yes, it is bad business, but there are many things that HP does that are "bad business", and yet they continue to exist like a cancer on the consumer computer hardware market. Again, this is normal for them.

  • I'm just saying, I would be at least 3x as miffed as a kid getting black licorice, or raisins, or some other bullshit in my candy pail than candy corn.

    When you're an adult, it's different, you can have whatever kind of candy whenever you want, regardless of the time of year -- when you're a kid, you'll take candy corn every day of the week over a lot of other subpar halloween hand-outs. And even as an adult, sure, I wouldn't willingly buy a bag of it to eat for myself, but if I were given the choice between eating a handful of candy corn or a handful of Good and Plentys, yeah, I'm taking the candy corn.

  • It's HP.

    You know, the same company that makes the worlds most insufferable printers. So yeah, it was deliberate, intentionally making the user experience as awful as humanly possible might as well be their raison d'etre.

  • I'm not disagreeing with that, but you can do so much worse.

    Case in point: Good and Plenty, and black licorice in general. I'm not saying you can't acquire a taste for either, certainly someone is eating them, but why would you want to? Candy corn is just kind of waxy and sweet, like a non-chocolate tootsie roll.

  • because they do not see themselves as part of the oppressed peasantry, merely temporarily embarrassed dukes.

    And it's OK as long as it's their king. If Biden had done any of this shit? We'd be knee-deep in a civil war right now.
