You can even find radioactive shit sold on Amazon as health products. So radioactive, that it can incur the wrath of federal agencies.

I see we have a volunteer

I already don’t own an xbox and am happy about it. Checkmate, MS.

I think the main concern is that this is a step towards normalizing extremely frequent price changes, a la Uber surge pricing.

I’m having trouble finding it, but there’s a clip of a left wing commentator (I believe it was Sam Seder) saying that they were going to dinner with right wing commentators after some sort of news appearance. He was continuing to talk about the subject at hand, when the other person told him something along the lines of, “Hey, just leave that on the field, man.”

It’s clear that they don’t believe the bullshit they’re spouting. They’ll run propaganda and interference for whatever side gives them money and attention regardless of what they’re saying and how it harms people.

Then there’s the case of the pilot riding in the jump seat who had been taking magic mushrooms to deal with grief and depression, and genuinely thought the best course of action was to crash the plane. (he didn’t report his condition prior to resorting to elicit substances in fear of losing his career, which is a whole other rant. For those interested, this video goes more into that side of the story)

Granted he wasn’t flying (and didn’t try to fly, per-se), but I doubt that a single pilot could subdue someone who is tripping balls and keep a commercial airliner in the air simultaneously.

Or the many, many, many other cases that don’t make headlines in which a warm spare became imminently critical for the safety of hundreds of people (both in the air and on the ground). The reason they don’t get media attention is because “Situation on Plane Ended in the Good Way, System Worked as Intended” isn’t a headline that get clicks.

Hell, even aircraft themselves are built with redundancy for critical components. How in the fucking world could one even begin to justify not doing so for us squishy humans?

It’s not that this idea is just stupid, this idea is dangerously stupid.

Yeah, this is prime !techtakes@awful.systems material right here

See: Weird Al’s polka medleys.

He’s got years of this under his belt. His whole career is based on this.

I think There I Ruined It is going to be fine.

Yes.

When I drove rideshare, I loved the quiet passengers. I honestly had to talk so damn much to everyone else, it felt like a break.

Man, we’ve definitely improved the survivability of industrial accidents in recent times. I heard about another guy who fell into an upholstery machine, but he’s fully recovered now!

Billionaire is turbo upsetti that they are forced to pay for something they don’t want to pay for, even if providing that something costs the provider money to provide it to them.

FIFY

Apparently, it’s actually quite common for directors of Godzilla movies to take inspiration from their cats for Godzilla’s mannerisms lol

They get paid when the least amount of people they insure use their services. They’re not incentivized to help those they’ve insured. The less they have to pay out to providers, the better the executive bonuses. Thus, they are diligent in collecting premiums, but can just sit on their hands when it comes to paying out.

The more the system denies and delays a claim, the fewer insured people are willing or able to put themselves through the bureaucracy gauntlet, the fewer pay outs.

They’re not in the business of insurance, they’re in the business of making money from the business of insurance. It’s over-complicated on purpose.

My dude. The person you’re replying to said nothing about whether or not they should be able to say what they want. They simply stated their opinion about what they said.

Log off for a bit and work on your reading comprehension.

For years, investigators and journalists working for Murdoch’s British tabloids had hacked into the voicemails and emails of royals, politicians and the stars of sports, music, movies and more.

Waaaaaiiiiittttt… I’ve seen this one [before…](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Newsroom_(American_TV_series\))

Protip for those of us that have trouble with telling the difference:

Do you want a solution, or support?

If you struggle with this enough that your partner has taken issue with it, this will show that you’re trying, and that you want to help, even if you don’t know what to do. Can’t express how much this has helped me.

And if the response you get is something along the lines of “You should just know!” Run.

Or is in central Arkansas…

When the herb in the bowl is deep, gotta get the flame deeper, so either get gud, or burny fingy.

Like, people have been using regular lighters for this for forever, so it’s not a necessity, just easier.
