Same with Darth Maul, I don’t even know where you get such a pit on a planet.
- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 4 days ago:
Yup, better to dodge a bullet on the first date than to catch it when you’re emotionally invested.
- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 4 days ago:
Yeah, OP dodged a bullet here.

Gay: OP can’t go on the internet because they got a virus after he looked up gay porn.
- Comment on Anon remembers kindergarten 6 days ago:
Yup, the only memory I have from early childhood is probably created, since I vaguely remember visiting my grandpa at his home. He died when I was 5 from Alzheimer’s, so there’s a very good chance I created that memory, but it’s the only one I’ve got about him.
After that, I vaguely remember some of my teachers in elementary school and some of the vacations we went on.
So yeah, I had a pretty good childhood.

Yup, that’s enough internet for today, gotta call in sick and watch sad movies all day.
- Comment on Anon remembers kindergarten 6 days ago:
Um, he was 4 or 5, nowhere near old enough for puberty…
- Comment on Anon remembers kindergarten 6 days ago:
I’ll take the plunge and try:
- fake: got nothin’
- gay: OP wasn’t old enough to have sexual feelings, so this experience likely turned them off relationships w/ women
I feel bad for OP. If this story is fake, good job sir, you have the makings of a great author.
- Comment on Anon goes on holiday 1 week ago:
I’m from Washington state, and if anyone goes there, they visit Seattle and the Space Needle, Experience Music Project Chihuly glass museum, and Pike Place Market. For outdoor activities, they may go whale watching, visit the warf/sound, and maybe take a ferry to one if the islands to hike.
All of those places get really crowded in the summer, and locals largely don’t go. I’ve been to each of those places once (never actually gone up the Space Needle though).
There are a ton of other cool things to see and do there that aren’t nearly as crowded.

Um, couldn’t they just look up the controls in settings?

You misspelled beer.

And chicken and waffles. And BBQ.
Honestly, not actually a fan of y’all, but they have some fantastic food.

No, that’s the admin of my instance.

That’s some deep south nonsense right there.

One of these days I hope to join that group.

I heard they control mosquitoes this way. They release a ton of sterile male mosquitoes, the males mate with females, and

Well, at least not the kind that want to breed with anime girls.
- Comment on Anon is devilish 1 week ago:
I took my kids to a nickel arcade, and it turns out that many of the games there only exist to dispense “tickets” that they can convert to rewards at the counter. Everything is digital now, so it’s not nearly as satisfying as it was when I was a kid. My kids blew through their allotment and when they compared their tickets to things they wanted, they added some of their own money to get up to a specific ticket amount to get the thing they wanted.
At that point it’s basically gambling, because the conversion of nickels to tickets is largely chance-based. So loading a game w/ free tokens that dispenses tickets may lead to gambling issues if the kid would otherwise play non-ticket games.
It’s a bit of a stretch, and I still think OP is a pretty decent human.

Better yet, give them the option on how to deal with it, and if they can’t reach a deal in some time frame, eat it yourself. Throwing it in the trash makes them both feel like nobody wins, but me eating it means I win and they both lose.

Yeah, most of our stores close by 10, with a couple open to until 2. I worked as a night custodian for a time and hit the one 24/7 store sometimes on the way home.

My state has no minimum wage, so we inherit the federal minimum wage ($7.25 IIRC), yet starting wages tend to be $10-12 in my suburb (probably higher closer to downtown) and median is $13 for fast food.
Yeah, companies will probably try to reduce wages, especially if those wages are essentially subsidized by NIT. But at least in my area, that would only happen if worker supply increases (in this case from people quitting worse jobs). Since almost nobody actually works for minimum wage here, I don’t think that’s a major concern.
On net, workers would probably be better off. I think we’d see a bit more intentional unemployment, which should drive wages up instead of down.
The main people who would lose out are middle class people relying on Social Security for retirement. We could balance that by removing the income cap on Social Security to preserve some traditional benefit for retirees (I propose income caps for benefits).

I agree with everything except the conclusion. There are a lot of good reasons to censor on a platform (kids use it), and good reasons to go along with it.
