The business model isn’t terrible, it makes money, but it is terrible for the consumer
I am aggressively opposed to anything that is profitable at the expense of the consumer. That is a terrible business model.

Are you a cop?

You also said people were trying to pass on the right. If there is enough room for them to pass on the right then there is enough room for you to move over and let them pass.

I used to have a longish commute on the highway and would use cruise control the entire way. It’s bizarre how often I’d encounter some that we would pass each other 3 times because they can’t decide what speed that want to go at. My speed hasn’t changed.
- Comment on Bruh, chill 1 day ago:
Was driving on the highway and it was packed. It wasn’t stop go, but we were under the speed limit with cars lined up as far as you can see.
I look in my review and I can’t even see the headlights of the guy behind me over my bumper. (I’m in a sedan, not a high bumper by a long shot). This is a dangerous situation so I ease off the gas and move over as soon as I get a chance.
This guy then proceeds to pass me, move in front of me, and slow down. I’m sorry, I thought you were in a rush considering how much you were riding my ass, but looks like you have plenty of time to be an asshole.
Next gap in the left lane and I pull over and accelerate, he doesn’t have room to get in front of me, and doesn’t have room to get behind me again due to all the cars.I have no idea how long he had to wait to get back into the left lane, but for someone so impatient he was very effective at wasting his own time.

You are not entitled to get things the way you want them.

How DARE you suggest things should be better for me, the consumer, instead of the way our corporate overlords feel is more profitable!
Well, that’s certainly an… Interesting take on someone saying things should be better…
- Comment on Something something far-left 2 weeks ago:
would rather watch it die so it can be replaced with real jobs that people can live off of
A faster way to do that: minimum wage laws that require people are paid a wage they can live off of.
The’ve tried the whole “let’s not pass laws to increase minimum wage, people will just not take jobs that don’t pay enough” for decades. Jobs still exist that pay below poverty (minimum wage).
If we agree that what they are doing is garbage and shouldn’t be able to exist, why are they arguing against doing something that would prevent it from existing?
- Comment on Something something far-left 2 weeks ago:
You seem really offended at the idea that “someone who works a job should be able to afford living” for some reason…
- Comment on Something something far-left 2 weeks ago:
Why can’t we just have a discussion without insults
Let’s be honest, “I don’t eat fast food so they should be allowed to pay slave wages” isn’t really a compelling discussion with nuanced talking points.

- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 2 weeks ago:
You haven’t met a pre teen. You’re also ignoring the problem of false positives.
“It doesn’t matter how strict the punishment is, only criminals will be punished” only works if only criminals are punished. There’s plenty of stories of accounts being banned when no rules were broken.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 2 weeks ago:
Right, children are known for being well behaved and following the rules…
I remember as a child playing 2 player Tetris on the original Gameboy, which required a cable connecting the two devices. I figured out if I watched my opponent’s height indicator on my screen and saw it drop suddenly I could unplug the cable from my device and not get sent the extra lines. It was a cheat and an exploit that I stumbled upon because I was curious what would happen. That “I wonder what would happen” attitude can now apparently cause Nintendo to purposely brick the device.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
patenting, copyrighting, or trademarking concepts or mechanics in video games shouldn’t be allowed at all
It’s not allowed at all in board games. There’s a known issue that someone could completly copy the mechanics of a board game, and as long as they don’t copy the art or the exact text of the rulebook there is no legal means to stop it.
Boardgamers are aware of this, and agree that it is better for development of future games than if someone could own the idea of “rolling a dice”, so if knockoffs do come around they tend to quickly get called out and not purchased.
I don’t know how videogames managed to get different rules.

Sounds reasonable, but you wouldn’t call it a “logic puzzle”.

It’s not a puzzle. It’s just wrong.
“Which of the following is a mammal: A) rock B) time C) verb D) Enui”
Is not a puzzle.

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food.
And these rules are for asthetic reasons, not safety, because the processes used kills any bacteria on them already.

Men on the left are capable of empathy, and caring about people other than themselves. As such they are willing to do something for the benefit of their partner because they are capable of getting joy from their partner’s pleasure.
These men literally can’t comprehend why someone would care about making their partner happy if they don’t directly benefit from it.

There’s nothing else that makes sense
Do not attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
I’m not saying these aren’t malicious people, but the explination that makes the most sense is that they are, in fact, that stupid.

Less than a third voted for him, too. Millions are disenfranchised and millions more recognize that there is no correlation between desires and outcomes when it comes to voting.
And these millions that couldn’t even bother to vote expect other countries to come save them?

Canada is also specifically targeting red states with retaliatory tariffs. Somehow I doubt that is the sort of “help for the American people” OP is asking for.
- Comment on Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’ 1 month ago:
Why not?
Because it would justify any retaliation (including military) from Trump and his sycophants.
Of the people that were of age, were able, and did vote, just over half voted for Trump
Right, over 50% of people who did vote voted for Trump, and unless your arguing that everyone that did not vote did it as a result of voter suppression or intimidation, the % of people that just chose not to vote adds to the % of the population that were fine with this.
If the “popular vote” went to Kamala there would be an argument to be had, but it didn’t. By all available evidence this is what the USA voted for. Why is it the responsibility of other countries to intervene in what people voted for?
assuming voting tallies were accurate.
Provide some evidence that they weren’t and you’ll be far more likely to get support from other countries.
The collapse of the US will not, and is not happening in a vacuum
Correct, and I do not fault any government for not sending money to resistance groups in the US that they could be using to support their own population in the coming economic crash.
This just sounds like more selfish Americentrism, “Why aren’t other countries doing more to help America? Yes, America did it to it’s self, and now if other countries don’t spend considerable resources helping us then they are just being selfish!”

Providing support and resources for movements that are opposed to Project 2025 and the rise of fascism would be nice
So you expect countries with smaller militaries (ie. all of them) to openly fund groups opposing a democratically elected leader?
but at the least how about drawing a distinction between the fascists and anti fascists
We recognize the distinction, but you have to be aware that you are unfortunately a minority in the country. Less than a third of Americans actually voted against this.
Not everyone in Russia supports the war in Ukraine, and I 100% support anyone trying to leave Russia or the Russian military, but Russia as a country can get fucked and needs to collapse for the good of the world.

True, that’s why you have to pay them to get them to do it.
