Thank you, yeah it hard. It was so sudden. Like we just went out to eat yesterday and we got his favorite meal, steak and potato.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

I sorta kinda knew that my health would decline at some point as I have a severe degenerative bone disease that causes my bone marrow to turn into tumors.

So I bet against myself and got a seperate insurance with my job in case I were to get any sort of permanent disability

When I cashed it in, they knew that they had messed up in not requiring a medical exam, but by then it was too late.

I paid an extra $100 a month for it, and it earned me 125k-ish in extra salary they had to pay when I was too sick to work.

Hiss-terical!

I worked for a popular VoIP who violated tons of my rights with my disability. My manager would get nosey, then he'd dock my pay when I took my paid FMLA. They were always harassing me about coming in despite my job being pretty much 100% remote. I got a doctor's note for it, and I would get harassed daily about if I was coming in

When I went to HR to complain, the next day my desk was trashed.

I sued them, but lost on a technicality because my lawyer moved office and they didn't get a piece of paperwork in time, despite putting in a proper change of address

So I pretty much got screwed

A high lead count in water would explain some things

It's funny that he works for the US government and his name is A. Blinken

It sounds like a joke from Robin Hood: Men in Tights

It's scary how much money and power is intoxicating.

At this point, we need to pull a page out of Iceland's book. They arrested their bankers over bailing them out. We need to do the same, only include politicians on the menu too.

I've noticed that a lot of right-leaning "journalism" is free and left leaning journalism has a pay wall.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the growth of the right.

True, but flying with that much equipment sucks. Going through the TSA line, getting hit for inspection, just adds more pain.

I barely like traveling with my laptop if I can help it. All I travel with is my backpack, so space is at a premium

Plus, after flying 6 hours, all I want to do is either screen share or log in and not have to worry about setting stuff up.

More souls for the one true god, Moloch!

I have a YouTube premium subscription for one reason: I travel a lot and you can't put an adblocker on an old hotel TV that only has the YouTube app

Once I get to travel less, I'll go back to only using ublock origin and sponsorship block.

Is there an option to keep the current icon?

It's sort of what World of Warcraft did with gold.

The gold farms were making TONS of money selling illegal gold in much the same way upvote farms are making a killing.

Upvotes are free for them to give, and they would have a money printer on their hands.

That whole crypto thing is scary as hell.

Unless you hold your secret keys then you don't really own your money.

Someone should answer the phone because we all fucking called it.

What's next in the Reddit bingo?

The removal of old reddit?

Limiting the number of posts we can see per day as a normal user?

Buy upvotes?

The slippery slope logical fallacy doesn't count when there is actual factual evidence.

It's ironic that there are over 60 blockable elements and such over Privacy Badger and Ublock origin on that page.

good bot

Governments need to hire Thunderf00t to personally inspect these fad-ish techs

The country could have saved a bunch of money on scams like solar roadways and Hyperloop
