But only for certain classes of people.

My guess is that they are making their own WiFi chip and it’s growing pains.

But everybody just wants to sit around and be sad about it instead of actually trying to make a difference.

This makes me a little indignant to read because it shows me that you understand absolutely nothing about declining mental health and how much of an impact it can have on people, their well-being, and their ability to do … things.

If fewer people had your mentality, maybe the sad, depressed, and chronically stressed out people suffering from very real trauma could get the help they so desperately deserve.

Life pro tip: when someone says they are tired, they don’t mean they’re sleepy or lazy. It means they are beaten down so hard that their only sane course of action is to simply stay down, lest they get beaten more.

Agreed. Running government as if it’s a business is, was, and always will be a horrible position. Government services (including prisons) are not meant to be profitable. They are there to make sure basic needs are met. What’s worse is that despite any government services being funded with taxpayer money, any profit made rarely ever makes its way back into taxpayer pockets.

My state government has been running hundreds of millions of dollars in budget surpluses more often than not, and yet salaries for state employees keep stagnating and our health insurance is going up (sometimes up to 3x) for many employees.

The only person screaming “both sides” here is you. There is nothing wrong with discourse of a political candidate. You trying to shut down my criticism is the bad faith. Sound familiar?

“It’s like a dystopian sci-fi movie. Unmarked cars, people in masks, people quite literally disappearing. No due process, no rights, no right in a democracy where we have rights.”

If only he had the same concern for all of those homeless folks he keeps displacing. If only they had rights too.

It’s called anxiety. A lot of people have it; even us Orwellian Americans. 🙄

Another way to think about it is to say that education is the memorization of knowledge, while intelligence is the application of said knowledge. i.e. book smarts vs. street smarts. They aren’t the same things, but are two building blocks that work together.

At least that’s how I look at it.

That is literally funny. And I’m not talking about Rob Lowe Literally.

It really depends on your bank or credit card issuer. Some places will accrue interest from the day of purchase until the day of repayment. It might be pennies for me and you, but I’m sure they make bank on their collective customer base. And deliberately making it difficult to pay off debt that causes additional charges should be illegal.

If you are like me and not sure what “post-quantum SSH security” means, you should read this. TL;DR it’s an algorithm believed to be unbreakable by quantum computers.

This. Don’t ever let anyone ever convince you that you’re an NPC in your life. You may not be someone else’s main character, but that’s okay. You are yours.

~Believe me when I say there is nothing more debilitating than losing your sense of self in your life.~

Honestly, it’s a very nuanced topic that has no clear delineation of right and wrong. There are some things the Dems will champion, while other things they will abdicate. It’s confusing as fuck to be honest; not to mention mentally exhausting. But at the end of the day, they’re still far better than their conservative counterparts (sometimes barely).

While true to a small degree, it is very obvious how lopsided one side is in comparison to the other. But I wholeheartedly agree that us citizens are the ones left in the lurch and usually fighting with each other (class warfare).

At first I thought you were referring to the Mayor. After reading the article, and re-reading your comment, I now get you were talking about Kirk. Suffice it to say, I was confused. 😅

One of North Carolina’s finest. 🤦‍♂️

This is tragic, but not for the obvious reasons. Despite him being a hateful man who added nothing of value to this world, his death will do the same. ITT there are a lot of people who Kirk has negatively impacted. While I don’t blame anybody for how they feel, no one should be cheering or dancing about somebody’s death. But here we are.

What concerns me most is that his death will not make things better for anybody. If anything, I worry that it’ll make things much worse. Those people who followed Kirk will now feel more emboldened in their ideology, and view Kirk as a martyr. Trump and his ilk will probably lash out with more bullshit EOs or enforcement of their illegal policing of innocent people.

Celebrate while you can, as we certainly live in interesting times.

It’s quite possible these men have reached the Nirvana of being thick-skinned. If so, we all should be in awe, as that is a rare thing to achieve. It also could be that men are not allowed to show emotion, and would otherwise be condemned if they complained or didn’t “take it like a man”; especially being around a lot of women where they feel even more pressured to show up and be a man.
