Do you really think they give a damn about privacy? If they care so much about privacy, wouldn’t they also be proclaiming how their website doesn’t track you and gobble identifying data? Or is it they are just hiding behind that argument because it sounds noble and their real concern is a business one?

Also, how secure do you think the state systems are that provide those ID’s?

Those places cost a lot of money to facilitate. They need to be cleaned and maintained. They require larger bathroom facilities due to the lengths of stays which also need to be cleaned and maintained. They need to pay people to do that. I fully understand that most wages aren’t enough to live on, but this is a direct effect of minimum wage laws. We can have living wages or we can have nice things at the expense of others essentially. But we really can’t have both and I am getting sick and tired of all the gd whining.

Just imagine those bison’s carbon footprint.

You act like nobody has ever conspired to do anything immoral before, like it’s some completely outlandish thing. History is rife with conspiracy. Maybe this guy did kill himself, but your attitude is quite unserious and ignorant.

I under that factory farming is absolutely ugly and there is a lot of low hanging fruit in how to improve it. But I never understand the extremist philosophy that no one should eat chickens or raise them in their back yard for eggs. Chickens simply don’t exist in the wild and are very far removed from the jungle fowl from which they came so long ago. If we stopped eating and raising them, they would go extinct. Is it better for a species to live in often poor conditions or to not exist entirely?

There are certain “sex linked” breeds of chickens that it is obvious whether a new born chick is male or female as they will be either color a or color b. We raise chickens for eggs and got stuck with a couple roosters before we decided to only purchase sex linked chicks going forward.

I got smoked in the temple by a knee during jiu jitsu. I felt immediate pain that immediately subsided. No sypmtoms, so I kept rolling. When I got home, I realized that was pretty stupid and I started remembering hearing about people dying from minor blows to the temple. I stayed up late to make sure I was ok but still no headache or any symptoms. After several days of no symptoms, I eventually got a mild tension like headache that lasted for 3 weeks and felt generally run down, like I had just woken up all the time. And then I was fine. Long story short, head injuries are bizarre.

Buried in the complaint is an interesting part about why he lost his original insurance carrier, they stopped writing policies in FL. The personal injury lawyers in Florida are out of control. There are also a ton of staged accident rings that nobody is doing anything about. I’m surprised any insurance carriers exist in that state anymore.

I try not to be hateful but dealing with attorneys every day will make you truly despise their profession. This brightened my day. Now if we could only disbar a couple million more.

I despise lawyers.

I don’t like more than a little spicy but I discovered that if you stand the jalapeño up and cut vertical panels leaving the core and seeds behind, they are essentially just sweet peppers with a little kick. It seems that almost all of the heat is in the seeds and the plith.

Good riddance

Pipes freeze and burst, whole house has to stay warm. It’s not just about comfort or safety.

Yea it’s their ability to manipulate language and people to bend the letter of the law to suit their specific cases regardless of any long term potential societal harm.

No it is not. Insurance companies get a bad rap, some of it deserved. But you would be absolutely shocked at the amount of exaggerated injury claims and the amount of fraud encouraged by lawyers and doctors.

Less forceful but the real title sounds more like a desperate plea from Klaus Schwab.

The majority community clearly doesn’t will this. This sort of thing only happens via violent revolution. Good luck with that.

Nobody should even be a millionaire it says. A small house in California is a million dollars ffs.

The irony of charging 20 pounds for this is palpable.

The propaganda industry is booming.

How can it be both a duopoly and a free market?

In other words, out of our control and we should stop worrying about it as we have been flushing toilets for roughly a century and we haven’t all dropped dead.

In the beginning, was the word.

I agree that this is not a Eurocentric issue, take Egyptology for example. They know there are secret chambers in the great pyramid, but the Egyptians have no desire to really look further. Western Egyptologists just follow suit. Nobody bothers to take seriously the strange, water like erosion around the Sphinx. Or that perfectly symmetrical urns and statues were carved out of granite. How does one carve the interior cavity of an urn with the most rudimentary of tools? The pyramids are not even the most interesting aspect but yet we all just shrug and say nothing to see here, Egyptians included.

You seem to think he has the biggest show in the world but yet nobody actually watches him? Of course it got downvoted vehemently because he has a huge audience and his audience likes him. Not to mention all the misinformation that is constantly being spread about him leads people to want to defend him. Not rocket science.

And you are trying to spin masculinity in general as toxic. There is no such thing as toxic masculinity or toxic femininity. Some people are just jerks.

How exactly did the Rogan experiment fail? He still has the biggest show in the world. It was all of their other bets that failed.

I’m not even going to touch your other comment, no sense arguing about your fairly toxic opinion.

“ and Joe Rogan, whose rambling, hours-long podcasts had somewhat confoundingly become the biggest hit in podcasting since Serial.”

WTF is “Serial”? And how can Rogan be the biggest thing since something I have never heard of? And how can it even be since “Serial” when he has been doing this for over a decade, before podcasting was a legit thing?

You are correct but there are other possibilities like aliens from other dimensions. That sounds like it would also require high technological ingenuity, but not necessarily. For example, maybe going from their dimension to our dimension is trivial compared to us trying go to their dimension. Perhaps when they trip on something like the dimensional equivalent of DMT they show up on our planet?

Or maybe it’s a simulation and aliens are simply users of the program.

Or it’s just more psychological warfare.

I have no idea what is going on and these are just random ideas, my point is simply that we have been seeing similar stuff for a long while now. We say it’s not us or china. If it’s not us or china, I don’t see it being another countries. If it’s private companies, what are they doing and why? Flying without transponders is highly illegal and unethical so maybe some sort of massive criminal organization that is highly technical and super secretive but that seems improbable. It’s not extraterrestrials exceeding the speed of light or extraterrestrials from the solar system because those are also improbable. So WTF is it then?

While I generally agree, this is an assumption based on aliens being extraterrestrials which would require absurd technology to transverse vast distances, perhaps they are “aliens” from much closer. Also, perhaps they wanted us to shoot it down. We do seem to be stumbling into WW3 so maybe it’s just a sign of sorts that we need to look at the bigger picture. I’m just spitballing, but my point is we far too little info to be ruling anything out or attributing motives to hypothetical creatures.

It also didn’t seem like it was that easy as it took two missiles.

I have no answers, I have no real guesses, but I am not ruling anything out.

That’s not true either. It was only plant based when they couldn’t obtain meat. Supplementing plant foods was the default when there was no prey available is more accurate.
