Ah yes, managed democracy! Every citizen of Super America enjoys the freedom to make the right choice.

A perpetual license doesn’t mean the company supports it forever; you know that, right? I have a copy of Quickbooks 2015 that I got the license key for from a closing company for about $25. I will never have to pay another dime for it, it’s a perpetual license and will run indefinitely. I just don’t get any updates at all, and I can’t run anything that requires updates or subscriptions like payroll or advanced features. But that’s absolutely fine for my purposes and works the same for many, many people. This is how things should be - if I’m fine with using an outdated version, there is zero reason I need a subscription license.

Because it’s only fraud if a normal person makes money from it, duh 🤪

At the moment, it’s moreso that these are already existing medical dispensaries that have been cleared to sell recreational starting tomorrow, which is almost all of them (we don’t have that many in the state right now, anyway - I think around 130 at this point, many very recently opened). They’re still, as far as I’m aware, setting up the process for a rec-only selling license, so it remains to be seen how quickly we will reach saturation. Prices will remain high here for quite some time, though, I think - probably until it’s federally legal to sell cannabis across state lines. Our growing system is kind of shit and I don’t see that changing soon.

Thanks, saved me the effort 😂

Edit, although I do want to add: he spent TWO YEARS grooming this little girl online. Started when she was 10. Then, after 2 years of online pedo fuckery, fucking flew himself to the UK to rape the poor girl. This was not “dumb 19 year old does dumb 19 year old things”, as gross as that would be on its own. This was TWO FUCKING YEARS OF PREMEDITATION PRIOR TO RAPING HER.

Sentenced to 4 years, only actually served about 1 if I recall correctly. Disgusting.

So they’ll boot a woman for smoking, and they’ll boot a woman for animal abuse, but they won’t boot a man for being an irredeemable groomer pedophile?

Cool, cool. Good to know.

Oh look, someone who doesn’t understand how progressive tax brackets work.

The 90% only kicks in on any money made over €400k, bro. That means they’re already making that 400k (less whatever the prior tax brackets are), and if they make €400,100 then only that extra €100 is taxed at 90%. This is so far from hurting “normal working people” that I can hardly believe your take isn’t a deliberate troll.

I mean, how about my boring example from work the other day? I wanted to double check whether priority mail had guaranteed delivery timeframes before telling a customer that they did not and if she needed something by a specific day she should use UPS. When I searched “is priority mail delivery date guaranteed”, the first real answer, from USPS’s website, was a resounding no, just like I thought. Guess what Google’s AI told me? “Priority mail is a guaranteed service, so you can choose it knowing that your package will be delivered on the projected date.”

It’s fucking stupid. It’s wrong. It should not be at the top of search results.

Dude is literally a science-denying antivaxxer who had actual brain worms. If anyone is braindead it’s RFK.

Exactly. Intelligence is knowing what the right words are. Wisdom is knowing what words to use to get your point across to people who aren’t as intelligent as you.

Fucking lol

Chud

Just admit you hate science and want to live in a fantasy world where reality agrees with you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Buddy that’s like saying you won’t listen to physicists about gravity because they’re biased

Researching and reporting on scientific realities isn’t bias

It’s stating the truth

Fucking lol

The doctors who research this stuff for a living are biased

Science is biased

Reality is biased

You’re a regressive who hates that reality disagrees with you and would prefer to live in a fantasy world of your own making

It’s because we have brains and can read further than the headline 🤷🏻‍♀️

Regarding difficulty - on lower difficulties it’ll take longer to earn up the medals (though the major order rewards definitely help there) but I actually think it’s faster to farm super credits on the easiest 3 difficulties.

I have been eagerly watching this since it was first reported on in September. I will literally throw myself at the researchers to be a test subject for RA when they get to it. Cannot fucking wait.

Hey, lots of people have a favorite subway sandwich. It’s whatever one is regularly least disappointing! Sometimes it’s the only option for lunch :')

They do have a say in whether or not they want to raise it. No one is demanding that they be active and attentive parents. They’re just being told that they need to help financially support the child that they had an active hand in creating.

Until UBI and true test tube births are a thing, pregnancy will always put all of the risk on the birth giver. This is inherently unfair. In order to even out that risk, the non-birthing parent should be required to support the child to a minimum level.

Granted, UBI and universal support would entirely negate the need for this discussion and it’s what we should be working towards in the long run, but we can’t just… not support the kids in the mean time.

PSA: it’s actually supposed to be “toe the line”, aka stand with your toes on the line like a good drone. Earlier versions of the phrase included “toe the mark” or “toe the scratch”. They are adhering to the party line, not pulling it along behind them.
