Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.

It was probably their own fault they got smooshed by The Hand, anyway. Obviously, they did heinous things no one knows about or The Hand wouldn't have chosen them for smooshing.

Ding Dong the Dick is dead, the wicked Dick. Which old Dick? The wicked Dick.

He's gone below where the goblins go.

A captured justice system that has been corrupted by twisted, mutant late stage capitalism, mostly.

Nah, it had the purpose of doing a genocide on Palestine. It desensitizing people to Venezuela is just a highly hoped for bonus, per those pushing it.

It's also just not true, the villain/killer/etc has iPhones in many shows and movies already, including multiple AppleTV shows.

TBF, an investor could make a thousand good investments and I'd still regard their opinion as worthless (here's lookin' at you, Buffet.) Being "good" at figuring out which stocks and companies you can exploit the most from the actually productive economy doesn't make you smart or in anyway good.

Upvoted you, but they frequently fly out of smaller/private airports that don't have direct ATC control anyway, so it's unlikely that's a significant contributor to a solution. Though I definitely agree it should be done at whatever scale it can be to improve general conditions.

Option 1) The honey nut squash vine itself will have a slightly prickly stem, the pumpkin will have a softer hairy-prickly vine skin and the cucumber will have relatively smooth vines (or the most prickly, depending on species of cucumber).

Option 2) Trellis all of it and if you notice any growing into a pumpkin shape, add a sling support tied to the trellis to hold the weight of the fruit.

Option 3) Just let them all ramble around and harvest what seems to be working out.

This gets close to an idea I heard long ago that I think has some merit.

Hire an employee? You must not only pay them, but cover taxes to have them there. Buy a robot to replace them? It's a business expense, no taxes!

Okay, pay taxes for your robot usage. Use that money to fund UBI, social programs and/or retraining people for other jobs.

If we can't even hold the nation hostage, what's the point of authoritarian control?!

did anybody notice that the hundreds of thousands of deaths attributed to the opioid epidemic included heroin?

This is because of two main things, AFAIK.

1. The number of heroin and other opiate addicts that got that way because of prescription opioids. This is a period of time where a significant majority of opiate/opioid addicts started on legally prescribed pills, were kept on them too long and weren't properly tapered off. Many then sought street versions of the drugs to avoid withdrawals and fell further into addiction.

2. Adulteration of other drugs. It has long been common to adulterate drugs by adding cheaper but stronger drugs and filler to the mix so that most users know something is happening but remain unaware they paid more for a mix of dubious efficacy. Incomplete mixing, higher tolerance to the advertised drug than the additive one, or are in some way compounding in the mixed drugs cause many more overdose deaths than those of known and consistent effects.

And when both aspects combine, it can prove to be a particularly deadly combo.

They got like 3% of their funding from the Gates Foundation, not exactly like they're fully beholden to them.

So much this. You can fix blatant bugs sometimes and have people whine because it breaks their flow to have it work correctly.

What do you mean you made it so it no longer freezes for 20 seconds after clicking the Q-button?! I count on that pause to ensure my J-Flame comes at the right time! How dare you?!

Couple problems with that.

Zero reserve banking has been allowed since 2020 (US). Banks are not required to have any cash reserves in order to make loans.

Fractional reserve banking does not mean that no money is created out of thin air when making a loan, but that not all of it is.

Actual empirical evidence and bank records support the notion that at least the bulk of the money loaned is created ex nihilo.

FWIW, photosensitive epilepsy is typically only triggered at flash rates between 3-30 hertz. The rate of flashing shown is extremely unlikely to cause seizures even in generally susceptible individuals.

If you pick the right currency, Musk is already the first multi-trillionaire!

It's a certified reference standard for scientific research, not food. The chocolate isn't even like expensive by the standards of NIST standardized food standards, e.g. NIST3287 blueberry is about half the price of the chocolate, but for 25g vs 455g.

Unfortunately, they are people. Evil, narcissistic, sociopathic, detestable people. Dehumanizing them is easy because of how inhumane they are, but it jumpstarts one of the more verified slippery slopes that ends up "justifying" atrocities.

That being said, I'm all for them being stripped of every possession and asset they've ever had, sending every participant family member and associate put in a different high security prison for life, and possibly sentencing them under 13th amendment slavery rules with all revenue going to addiction treatment.

Because they're people. And they deserve all of the things our judicial system has to offer. As people. Evil, shitty, greedy, people.

Do a barrel roll!
