I believe that it may have been released from the Wuhan lab inadvertently. And I’m downvoting you

Because when you first brought up the Wuhan lab it was as a rebuttal to somebody talking about the conspiracy theory that it was a bioweapon engineered to eliminate conservatives. So while you may be right about it’s origins, it makes it seem like you are trying to defend that conspiracy theory, whether you actually are or not

It took me time to get there, but I say it to my close friends now, because it’s true. I love them, platonically and they deserve to know that. You never know how long it’s been since someone felt loved

More likely, wayyyy at the head is the chokepoint in the infrastructure that is making everyone try to get over at the same time and causing a build up of traffic behind them.

Yes, sometimes it is idiotic drivers, but I find more often than not it is the engineers or the limits of the area the road is built in that add chokepoints that fuck everything over.

“Oh. Everyone wants to take this exit? Make it a short one lane into a red light. That won’t fuck over the highway”

Exactly

What is this comment even supposed to prove??

We’re talking about how there’s a major gap in the finances of corporate execs, meanwhile the people that they make their money off the backs of are going to not have enough money themselves for life in general.

And your only argument is “people elsewhere have it worse.” That’s a non-argument. It may be true but contributes nothing meaningful to the conversation so please find a reason that this comment or having a job and not being able to afford life when/if they have to stop working is a good thing like you seem to be implying

I end most of my thoughts with “but I may be wrong”

Which is also better for the environment and a perfectly fine way to live. I think more people should be like that

Freedom isn’t free. And the price tag has been increasing so fast

“Someone complained 3 weeks ago so we’re just checking it out”

Plus, if the cloud service goes down, you don’t need to worry about your service being out as well

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes?

Thank you for the explanation. I was misinformed and am happy to now know the correct reason he will be unable to pardon himself. Also it’s promising to hear that it’s run by a board rather than leaving it just up to the governor alone

As I’m known for saying in my friend group…

Yay capitalism

An industrial food processor would be best, but not everyone has access to those, and cleaning all the bits off can be hard

Especially when the public gets to be anonymous. Then they believe they can do and say whatever they want to, no matter how shitty

This is the same reason I talk about how much I am paid with my coworkers

Sure it makes sense that someone here longer than me will get more, but of two people are hired at the same time and one is making $3,000 more (My own experience) then it’s bs

Prisons (at least in the US) have never been about prisoners and their reform. It’s about how much money they can bring in from the state and practically free labor. Like most things in the US it is driving by profit margins.

…yay capitalism

Also, in my mind, death is a release. Keep those fuckers stuck in their filty meat suits while they rot in prison for the rest of their lives with no hope for escape. The especially heinous ones will get extra comeuppance from the other inmates

In a perfect world/scenario…which would never happen…

If urban centers immediately dropped their reliance on cars and individual transport systems, then there would be more gas to go to rural centers where individual transportation makes more sense (going to the store) or is mandatory (farm and other industrial equipment) making prices drop for rural gas and urban center be more self sufficient and environmentally friendly.

…one can dream

A percentage of people will, like they always do. My pessimistic view is that we just need to see how bad it gets before the pendulum starts swinging back the other way
