Lemme guess: Clearwater, FL?

Ahh yes. Just like all those penalties for Matthew Kacsmaryk that will arrive aaaaany day now.

Federal judges serve for life. There’s not a whole lot anybody can do about this.

I assume due to venture capitalists who are not really passionate about creating good content, but more about turning a quick profit.

Remember, it’s not just good enough that the line goes up. The line must also go up at a faster rate than previous months at all times or you’re a failure.

He’s not broke. TruthSocial is about to go public via SPAC and make him about $3.3B. Company will trade under ticker DJT.

This is all a nice distraction to rile his base.

…not even. A burger doesn’t even cost a buck to make. Their margins are off the chain.

Soda and fries are even crazier. It’s why the $1/any size drink works - going larger doesn’t impact their bottom line materially at all since the COGS are so low.

Companies have up to a 1000-1 ROI on lobbying.

It’s foolish not to buy what’s on sale.

“Also, that guy over there is using a magnifying glass to light paper on fire, ignore me using napalm since fire is just fire”

There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.

But that costs $ and Microsoft doesn’t make money by spending it when they absolutely don’t have to.

Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

And…

but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

Nuclear and renewables are for different purposes and are complementary. Taking an all-or-nothing approach to energy will drastically delay net-zero generation.

18-22 before tax per ticket imax, 16 basic matinee. Doesn’t make a diff. it’s still expensive as all fuck, and the mouse has a 75% take thanks to them strong-arming theater chains.

Maybe if Disney lowered their take they could push more tickets and give theaters more room to breathe, but here we are.

You’d think participating in the propaganda campaign for the Iraq war and the Valery Plame incident would’ve nailed their coffin shut, but here we are today, with those same assholes doing what they do best.

I’d make the argument that slavery provides a higher quantity of workers, but since it’s against the workers’ wills, it is not as efficient (units of work per unit of time).

Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.

You can’t violence your way into efficient human labor without repealing the 13th Amendment.

Let’s see if the SCOTUS says that the slavery clause only applies to individual people that congress specifically designates as free, a la the wholly made up rules on the insurrection clause of the 14th amendment.

Can’t get clicks without bait. Next they’ll be adding “You’ll never believe who it is!”

People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.

I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.

You just broke my brain. “Surely no developer could possibly implement something so stupid,” I thought 2 minutes ago before I read that manual.

That’s a real oof right there.

“Manufacturing software that doesn’t suck!”

🤮 yeah right
