This is beyond mild. It’s just infuriating.

- Comment on An insurance I don't love 1 week ago:
Don’t forget that it also makes procedures more expensive for some reason. So until to reach your deductible you’re paying more than someone who pays cash.
- Comment on TicketMaster has started requiring government IDs and facial scans 1 week ago:
I saw this when trying to find my tickets for a concert a month ago. If they ever required this I’d just be done with concerts. Not worth trying to find concerts that don’t use them, or to find ways around it.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 1 week ago:
I completely agree with all of that. But I’d also like to point out that the prison system in the US isn’t being run with rehabilitation in mind. Our system is much more about punishment. They’d rather have people stuck in the system because they can be used as slave labor.
It’s one of the biggest failures of the US IMO and not a lot of people talk about it. Slavery needs to be illegal in all capacities. And prisoners shouldn’t be allowed to be used as labor. In theory I don’t have a problem with it, but in practice it just encourages abuse, as you have pointed out.

Most? I’m gonna need a source for that cause unless that’s changed recently, they’ve been mostly public prisons.
- Comment on Lindsay Clancy admits to killing their children. So why is there an online groundswell blaming her ex-husband? 2 weeks ago:
I know nothing of this case so I’m not commenting on it specifically.
The headline seems to assume that admitting guilt means you did it. That should usually be the case, but there’s a variety of reasons why that may not be. Mental health, coersion, taking the fall for someone else, etc.

- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 3 weeks ago:
This situation may sound ridiculous, but I’ve got a cousin over 40 in essentially the same position. Never worked a day in her and still lives with her parents. No one really knows what’s going to happen when they pass, but no one appears willing to let her live with them. Myself included. Not that i’vd be her first choice anyway. I live half way across the country.

Wonder if they can look at my credit even if it’s frozen.

IDK why anyone who care this much about it. Just wait for a review or for the game to come out so you can get actual video of the game from people.

Or what? You get a ticket if you’re not old enough? If you have a problem with not enough benches for everyone, maybe just make more benches? Not like they are expensive.
