Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Honestly, a surprisingly reasonable article.

It's always the one you host yourself.

(Wait, don't we both host our own relays?)

Why does everyone want to surgically modify baby dicks?

Leave the baby's penis alone you freaks

It'll be a fight between two women who are going to get the job on a technicality that the Democrats are incompetent lol

Honestly, it makes me laugh when leftists are angry that disney lost the reedy creek improvement district because it should be the exact sort of thing that they would have fought against at any other point in history. It's a big business getting to form the local government of a place.

Nobody gets to create their own government. Mines don't get to do that, not since the 1800s, factories don't get to do that, but somehow Disney can do it and not only is it ok but the people who used to claim to be against big business fight for it like idiots because the TV told them to.

I'd like to throw a different idea out there, most tech companies just employ way too many damn people. What exactly does Spotify need 10,000 employees for? They do music streaming, and probably don't even run their own servers.

That's a phenomenal article.

A lot of people don't realize there's a lot of jobs other than CEO, and they need to get done if they're glamorous or not.

Like come on man, you need to fight the serpent so you can free your father from the belly of the whale!

Yeah... Hoping there's a change in leadership soon who can stop breaking the damn place, it used to be a really nice place to live.

Once pot got legalized in Canada they sprung up everywhere because there's tons of pent-up demand. Yes, high margins (or at least they expect high margins and so people have opened a ton of them, we'll see if there are long-term)

Basically ways to print money.

I remember someone showed me what the used market looks like in europe, it's night and day. I think there's 2 factors at work. First was the cash for clunkers program that helped take tons of used cars off the market and destroy them. The other is the mass availability of credit that has meant it's way too easy to spend a lot of money on a piece of crap car and helped build up an industry around companies massively overcharging for crappy used cars which means that the price keeps creeping up and up and up since there's so much money to be made.

There's 3 things we have a lot of in my city: Pot shops, payday loan places, and used car lots. Guess what they have in common?

No argument there. I'm seeing 10 year old vehicles with 200,000 miles going for tens of thousands of dollars. Like.. What the hell is wrong with people?

For sure, but what sucks is it happened in the entire vehicle market.

Little lady wanted us to look at a minivan, and when I saw a new one is $70,000 -- Like... what?! Who is buying new vehicles at this point?

Lol "we pushed companies to doing unsustainable things and now we're shocked that there are consequences"

Yes, that happens pretty much every time, which is why every communist country ends up with famines.

It blows me away the people whining that the cyber truck isn't the price they expected it to be 5 years ago.

If you're go to a dealership near me you can't get *any* truck for $36,000, much less one made with cutting edge EV tech with a stainless steel body and frame. It's like people don't realize the past 5 years had consequences.

(not that much?)

Just imagine: if they build the line and there's terrorists there then suddenly we'll get to see spec ops: the line irl

I've seen redditors in the streets.

It looked a little like this:
