I haven’t actually seen it, but I hear this was pretty awful.

That’s a weird argument.

It’s not an argument for going to prison, it’s a commentary on the deplorable state of American society.

Suicide is even cheaper, should we recommend that?

You think people haven’t considered and even exercised that option for that very reason?

incarceration is not an experience most people enjoy…

If the point of prison is to remove joy, then why not just have convicts play No Man’s Sky?

But seriously, should that even be the point? Isn’t the point of having a justice system a bit more nuanced than that? Shouldn’t our aim be to create a better society in general? Not simply through mere incarceration, but also education and mental health care?

Don’t we owe it to the members of society who have been failed by society to lift them up when possible to a place where they no longer need to subvert and disrupt society’s rules for the sake of their own survival? Don’t we owe it to the rest of society to provide a path to a productive life for so of its citizens, regardless of our previous unwillingness or inability to do so?

It’s definitely cheaper to live in jail than have to work at a job and pay rent. At least in the US it is.

You do first need to have said car.

This may no longer be true, but when I had my own Sam’s membership it was cheaper to get the business club card than the regular you imply is for the poors. They did zero checking that the business even existed, you only had to list a business name.

Now, here’s the thing. I’d say you would be sharing those winnings with the original winner unless you prevented them from getting the ticket

The January 2nd Powerball draw was not won by anyone and paid $39M.

That’s plenty of seed money to invest in Google, Bitcoin, et al with perfect knowledge of stock trends. Even if it’s only short term knowledge due to breaking from the original timeline, you could easily grow your investment into the billions overnight.

Perhaps the most amazing stock of the year was Xcelera.com, formerly known as Scandinavia. Once a closed-end fund specializing in Scandinavian stocks, and then an operating company that owned a hotel in the Canary Islands, it made a small investment in an Internet company last year. Before it disclosed that investment, the family of Alexander Vik, the company’s chief executive, was given options to buy a million shares of stock, at a price of $3.25 each. The shares ended 1998 at $3.75, or $1.25 adjusted for two subsequent splits. They ended 1999 at $139.50, an increase of 11,060 percent. The Viks’ option position is now valued at $415 million.

That’s not so much losing your home as it is having it forcibly purchased from you at a fair market price. At least in theory.

Half Life 3.

Dymo makes handheld label makers that are very affordable. Like $40. You don’t need a Rolls when a Corolla will get you there.

“Do you have any feelings whatsoever about the way automobile taillights work in the US?”

“No, why would I?.”

“After you watch this video, you’re going to write your congressman.”

Alexa, bite me.

This used to be a feature that you could filter by on GSMArena, but alas it has gone from even there.

Says the guy who literally advocate the enslavement of the majority of the human race. Where even if your line, my guy?

Allowing it to be called “pro-life” has been the greatest lie told by the oppressors in quite some time.

But what is absolutely not debatable is that we actually need people to do work for us

to contribute to function as a society

As if that’s a worthy goal.

More importantly, we don’t need to be limiting the discussion of incredibly important political issues such as was just because the imagery is ugly. War is ugly, and reminding everyone of that is vitally important in preventing future wars. When we forget how ugly war truly is, we begin to allow for its glamorization. Much better for me to see the atrocities of war than for my children to experience them firsthand.

True. “L*wyer” is a very taboo word in almost every civilized society.

I drive one for Uber as my full time gig. I spend about $125/wk on charging exclusively at superchargers.i could mitigate this substantially of I was able to put a home charger in.

People on the left hate Elon, tech people think a car can’t drive itself without a weapons grade sensor array, and people on the right hate using electricity for propulsion, car people are threatened by electric car’s acceleration, or that the battery is going to die and I’ll need to get a new car.

I think it’s important to note that all of those fears are completely unfounded and some are just ridiculous. Also that you can lease one now for literally $250/mo, so not really so expensive to own.

I think we could work it out. We can for driving tests.

I don’t think we can. Have you seen the results of our “driving tests”?

In all seriousness though. I get what you want to do, but this isn’t how you get there.

Honestly, I would just ban it entirely at this point. I’d rather see the abolition of marriage entirely than have the government dictate who can and cannot participate (outside of consent issues, obviously).

I mean, go forth. Be fruitful. Multiply.

Eat, drink, be merry with each other.

Just leave the government out of it.
