Not to mention, Donald looks like an old Doctor Zaius.

Maybe I’m crazy, but feels like you were referencing the Brittney Spears song, “Oops! I Did It Again”.

This is why most Americans say they are Canadian, when traveling.

No, they will just try convincing us to do purge-type scenarios to thin the herd. Make it difficult for us to put up a fight each go-around.

Whilst the poorer voters without income will be used as cannon fodder during fights under the ideal, this will be a potential leg up, trying to convince themselves they are heroes; that is, until their medical bills come due. Where they’ll be left to restart the cycle with the government denying charges until they can barely stay above water.

It’s a cycle humans love to fall for: believe in the monetary success you want to have and hope you’ll win the lottery someday and be one. Aka: Fake it until you make it, and a robot replaces you.

Adam’s ale. What my grandpa used to jokingly call it. Edit: someone beat me too it.

I remember discussing this in private school, I suggested its possible use was for portable masturbation on long trips lol.

Nice, the number of adblocking apps on iOS is rare. Most demand subscriptions and don’t do device wide adblocking, only in Safari. Only the old version of AdGuard Pro still does it, so I haven’t updated the app in years.

The depressing fact this is already in their calculations really suggests fines should be vary based on a percentage of the company’s profits, not a set number for all.

Bingo. Which is why they comfortably hide using the infighting of the two party system. One party has to be willing to accept they’ll be doing most of the work to fix the situation. Up until now, they wanted us believing the task is Sisyphean and impossible, the truth is we can easily catch them with their pants down.

It actually isn’t, but those in charge know our legal system works so slowly. So the companies already know they just have to delay and they’ll only pay a percentage of a fine for swindling patients. And instead of being accused of robbing, their legal team will get charges lowered and the company will just change its name and start over. Until the punishment fits the crime, the rich scams will continue.

No, that’s to logical. They’ll spin the numbers to mean something positive for the party.

Meanwhile, my long disabled cousin just started receiving SSI after 2 years of them dragging their feet. 2 months in, he now has them again, requesting pension forms, paystubs for work, unemployment compensation forms and life insurance policies. All things he already reported he never had due to his disability. It’s like they’ve suddenly believed things changed in that time window. The whole system seems to be broken, which might be intentional.

Sorry to hear, but an interesting thought experiment. At my age, there’s no reason not to give it a shot. I’ll name him, Gwen. 😂👍

Yes, imagine a self-critical version of yourself voicing its opinions on your failures.

This is actually pretty genius, are there any downsides?

I haven’t given mine a name… the strangest part is it used to help out.

Some people just need a reason to hate and avoid any personal accountability. They’ll take anything they can get, they’ve had a shitty day/year/life and somehow beating up on a faceless stranger feels morally acceptable to them. The truth is, they are in fact just awful people, looking to justify their shitty behavior by correcting grammar or downvoting a complete stranger. Trying their damndest to avoid looking in the mirror. Whilst the rest of us humans, have a shitty day but roll with it. Because if you can’t let it roll off, you will never be happy.

So, public espionage, no one sane should accept this behavior for something they paid for.

The Last Man on Earth? lol

Good. It took way to long for this to occur.

Canceling Apple TV over this, knew they were spineless, but this is pathetic since it’s one of the few shows I watch on it. Growing really tired of all these service subscriptions as it is.
