It’s really shocking to me, from the US, that this is a compulsory fee and not a tax. It’s like they want people to hate and resent it. I guess it hurts poor people? IDK.

Ferrari disagrees. Expensive sports cars are kind of a different story than driver’s licenses, though.

Not only them. Everyone will suffer, including Trump (etc). The real fear is that one side “wins” and gets to do whatever they want.

That’s probably fair…

This has gotta be Elon Musk, right? Nobody else is using that stupid phrase, right? RIGHT?

They aren’t oblivious, they’re just relying on the operation of our society and their personal and organizational power to protect them. They don’t give a fuck, and they don’t want to give a fuck.

He saw the problem but had no idea what to do for solutions and the ones society was feeding him (he didn’t come up with that on his own) are bullshit. But society won’t tell you about Baudrillard.

This is something people need to get better at seeing. If we want to reach these people we need to understand what’s happening when they say things like this. We also, ourselves, need to understand this stuff so we can speak intelligently about it. You know the media and powers that be never will.

You’re right, this is very destructive.

The US is too good at destroying people’s reputation, yeah. This guy is gonna get vilified hard (whether he did it or not).

But if also a cornerstone. (For better and worse–it got and still gets used to excuse people who commit hate crimes, for example.)

It is actually legal. It’s built directly from the laws and kind of a necessary component if you want jury trials to actually work and not just be a kangaroo court. People just don’t like it.

Russia fucking sucks but this, at least, is true. (The West sucks too, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t going to Russia but i will use their search engine.)

Black people are (still) getting murdered by cops everywhere. What set Minneapolis apart was that they didn’t stand by and watch, they did something about it. Sadly, that isn’t what happened in this story.

My take is Minnesota in general is very divided. There are some very cool people there but also some very horrible ones. The cool ones are winning but that doesn’t mean they win every time or that it’s inevitable that they win.

LGBT people were treated the same way, this is how it starts.

Police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.

They have surveillance footage and logs of so these people were from when they entered, surely. No arrests means they’re choosing to not arrest.

It’s following the Amazon monopolization model.

Then why doesn’t Nintendo do it themselves?

I am not a lawyer but as far as I know: it super isn’t. It’s also illegal for compounding pharmacies to make, where I live.

Man, in lots of places the you can’t even get the name brand so at least there’s that.

I have heard, don’t know how true it is, that hospital pharmacies have first shot at the supplies so they’re less affected by stuff like this. For what that’s worth.
