Thanks :)

Bro, link that video.

2005 Peugeot 206 Gti.

I blew up my car on saturday and it was a very cheap shitbox that I could buy with cash on hand on a sunday to get to work Monday.

Im working my way through everything wrong with it upgrading as I go. If I make it through the problems list, then Ill have an amazing base to start adding horsepower and removing practicality once I get a new daily driver.

Battletech and the Shadowrun games from HBS.

They all do, you put the food on it and it spins while its cooking.

They should increase exponentially over say a 5 year period. Anyone can not see a sign or accidentally overstay a meter now and then, starting with a “Hey jackass” amount of money that to most people would merely be an annoyance but escalate relatively quickly.

Thats exactly how I feel “Its sad that this is looking like the solution”

Like, it had to come to this? You couldnt just set up your little racket and keep the golden goose fat and happy? Or atleast adequately provided for and left alone?

Because my boss knows if he tries to make me pick between my job and my baby girl… He WILL lose. There wont be a discussion or an argument, he will lose, I might get fired but so be it.

Once people have kids they have more to lose, but running head to head with them instead of making minor concessions is the dumb move. Theres always another job and guaranteed they will start looking immediately if they dont quit outright if you pick that fight. As a supervisor at my job people with kids are also more inclined to bust arse to make sure people arent carrying their load when they do need a bit of special treatment because they still need to provide and have a solid income.

The worst part about the healthcare in America situation is how easy it would be to take 90% of the pressure off while not inherently changing the system, THEY JUST WONT.

I’m not even talking about life saving drugs and chronic conditions requiring specialists. If they can do it in a bush clinic in Uganda it shouldnt be expensive. If someone can set and plaster a broken arm in a tent with a folding table it shouldnt cost $5000 in a modern hospital. Your kid falling off their bike and needing an Xray should not be expensive. Going to a GP to confirm that “Yeah bro, your just sick” so you dont get fired SHOULDNT BE A THING let alone cost more than you would have made at work that day.

At my work we do check peoples socials very basically, but the people who have everything set to private arent the concern, we like that. We worry about the ones who have to vomit every little bit of their life onto the internet complete with pictures.

We all have to deal with asshole customers but if your posts start winding up on community pages and other users start tagging the company, you’re going to have a bad time. Especially if you violated customer privacy at any point.

There needs to be a lemmy.norm or some shit.

Just photoshop requests, memes, hobbies and dumb “askreddit” shit.

Your Aunt sounds like she is working with the system we have. Lemmys heart is in the right place but practically speaking most of the vitriol you read on here would need a genie in a magic lamp to come true. We need to squeeze the top the hardest, not squeeze everyone with more than us.

Once they abolish people buying properties and parking them empty just to make money on the property value increasing, then they abolish corporations owning hundreds or thousands of houses while colluding to fix the rental market, then they abolish people buying family dwellings and turning them into airbnbs, then the property developers churning out acre upon acre of McMansions with zero affordable housing, then the foreign investors, then maybe listen to their criticism of mom and pop investors owning a handful of properties and making what is probably the safest and most lucrative investment honest hard working people can make.

I put anchovies on too.

Its like someone put $20 worth of “sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami” nickels in a sock and then hit you in the mouth with it.

Diogenes would beg to differ.

For many reasons.

Firstly, never meet your heroes…

One of the key overlooked benefits of UBI is that it also encourages people to retire, move out of the workforce or drop back to part time sooner. Freeing up jobs for people to move into.

Once the house is paid off and the kids have moved out, etc. The “I dont NEED to do this” is real.

Im building the Planet Express building from Futurama.

Double wrong, GW just hasnt had the time to write enough lore about them for us to understand just how they are absolute assholes.

Almost certainly heresy, even if the Inquisition was somehow a faction it would still probably be heresy.
