Saying someone is “hurr durr meat tastes better” is wrong is so dismissive of other people and completely insufferable.
I agree, people should eat less meat. We often have meals in my house that don’t feature meat. But guess what, I think meat tastes better.
The best way to alienate people and turn them against your point of view is to be an insufferable twat.
Also, scale matters. If 4 posts increased to 7, that’s a 75% increase I’m not concerned about. Now, 40,000 to 70,000 concerns me.
It already can.
There are some places where an inability to pay fines, can result in a warrant and imprisonment.
8% now. 20 years ago, it was a third of that. If there is profit to be made, profit will be made. It’s also just one small factor in an extremely shitty whole.
The fact prison labour exists at all is an issue. If prisoners truly benefited from it, like a fair wage plus every day reducing their sentence, then I could hold my nose, but as is. Slavery.
This is proof they don’t understand the endgame here. The only (legal) type of slavery left in the United States is prisoner labour. It is not a coincidence that the right wants to make so many things criminal. It’s also not a coincidence they want to keep poor people desperate because it makes them more likely to commit crime. It’s not a coincidence they support minimum sentences.
More crime, more free labour, more for profit prisons selling services…
That’s what I took it to mean.
Elon Musk makes lots of claims…
How would it crumble? He’s declared bankruptcy so many times, people can’t decide if it’s 4 or 6.
In spite of that, dumb asses think he’s a financial genius.
VMware is not on death row. VMware is already dead. It no longer exists. All that’s left is an entity possessing its corpse.
That’s a whole other good point.
I think it’s more shocking that the flight attendants didn’t notice.
Based on the 321 size and regulations in the route, it should have had a minimum of 2. Usually, that would mean one in the front and one in the back galley. Even flying mostly empty, they would usually be fully staffed at 4.
How did they not hear the noise? They should know exactly how loud that plane should be.
My grandfather and uncle both served in my countries military, and I didn’t know what else to do at the time. While yes, they are used in combat, the majority of what they do is not warfare.
During my time, we assisted in sandbagging villages from flooding, helped fight forest fires, protected civilians fleeing from a warlord, etc. I personally never participated in those missions, but it was part of why I signed up.
As I said, I don’t always support how our military is used, but the need is real. And that, unfortunately, sometimes includes fighting.
That’s some real US defaultism right there.
I’m not American.
GenX continues to not exist.
I hate being thanked. It’s not why I put on a uniform. I did it because I believed in the need, even if not always how the military is used.
It was the straw that broke the camels back to get me to switch to Linux.
