But what part is inaccurate? Its easy if you know how to do it and daunting if you don’t.

More like installing a subcutaneous implant
“It’s easy, man. You just need to inject this needle under your skin. What do you mean you’re uncomfortable doing that? Anybody can do it. And if you don’t like it, you can just use the same needle to pull the pill back out and you’ll be back where you started, no harm done. Now, there’s about 48 different pills you can choose from that vary in performance and legitimacy. I use Grafff (yes, with 3 Fs, two Fs is the legacy version), but you could start with NBOSC or RBOSC or LBOSC. But you could also try Flan or Yellow Welly. You could try Trim, but it takes some getting used to not having eyes. Honestly, its not that bad though. Anyway, once you have QBOSC (I mentioned QBOSC, right? It meant replace RBOSC but they split and are just two different things now) you’ll need to find this thing called DaemonFlare to make your legs work so you can play games and stuff. The whole thing should take like 20 minutes… or 9 days to work out the issues”
- Comment on Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car? 2 weeks ago:
The people in this thread are either misunderstanding you (thinking you have a big 8" slab of snow on your roof) or are unfamiliar with regularly snowy places, or are completely unhinged. That, or I misunderstand and you are talking about driving with inches of snow on your roof, in which case, yeah brush off what you can before driving.
But I get it, especially when it gets a bit warmer and the snow kinda melts a bit and gets icy and sticks.
The hot water will melt the snow and ice, don’t worry. The car wash deals with ice chunks from wheel wells all the time. Its just more water and road grime.

What’s worse is when you expect it, so you wait a second, and it still hasn’t loaded, so you click and the instant you click it shifts to an ad.

Only when the inverse is also true, if you’re allowed to live even when you can’t contribute.
Paid sick days? That’d cost the economy today. Who gives a shit about tomorrow?

Moreover, if I was productive up to 4:57 and left, I’d be productive up to 4:57.
If I have to stay until 5:00, not one minute early, I’m watching the clock for at least 20 minutes doing fuck all because I’ve been instructed that I have to run out the clock every day forever.
When you prioritize employees for their time, they give you their time. When you prioritize them for their work, they’ll give you work.

- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 months ago:
Yes, except “hire enough people”. You can’t staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.
It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.
If the work can’t be rescheduled, and isn’t worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it’s not worth doing.

Have you seen North American public transportation?
Yeah, I have a “choice”, but it’s 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.

To be fair, the killing isn’t the point; they’re the product. Its just that profit is God, so killing in its name is justified.
Killing poors for the joy of it? That’s just an evil bonus.

It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days
My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.
Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?
Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.

He has a trans son, who he supports
No, he objectively does not. Tolerates on a local level, sure, but not supports.
“I love you, son! I’m so proud of you for being your true self,” he yelled from outside the burning building, holding the door shut, “but you’re on the insurance policy, so the payout is better if you die!”

That’s fair. Explain how calling out fascists being fascists that haven’t yet realized there full potential is like The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 5 months ago:
Which version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf did you have growing up? The one where Peter cries wolf and there’s a wolf but it’s in the woods so the townsfolk do nothing, then the townsfolk call Peter a wolf, and then when the wolf arrives in the village and starts taking people and Peter cries wolf the townsfolk say the word “wolf” is so overused it doesn’t mean anything anymore?
Because I don’t remember that version.
