Milo something-or-anther? That guy is a grifter before anything else. He fell out of favor when he praised his childhood molester and later reinvented himself as a “cured former-homosexual”.

idk, I know a gay conservative. Extremely stupid and selfish. He’s not even “normal gay” or whatever. He’s like some caricature out of a 90’s sitcom. Him and his boyfriend have the most toxic, untrusting relationship. I avoid him as much as possible.

There’s an old story about some father getting angry at his son for installing a Batman game and breaking his work computer. The father deleted some system .bat file.

Dentists do this in the US as well. I had one prescribe me $2000 work of work because all four quitters needed fillings according to him. he suddenly died and it took me a while to get around to finding a new one. When I eventually did, I didn’t mention the old diagnosis and the new dentist didn’t mention needing any work done.
Lesson for everyone. If a dentist prescribes a suspicious amount of work, seek a second opinion.

It’s grounded. It’s also running parallel to an underground power line, but I made sure to maximize the distance between the two as much as I could. Around 12 inches if I remember correctly. No issues that I knew how to test for at the time and it’s been about ten years with no need to modify anything. Some I know I would have had to do if it was a wifi bridge by now

I needed to get internet to a building that’s around 400 feet away. I had the opportunity to get a trench dug, so I took a gamble, laid a conduit and ran shielded CAT6. I say gamble because that’s over the rated limited of CAT cable, but I figured it was going to be easier then trying to get a reliable wiki bridge running. The home network itself has been solid since.

It’s obviously not great, but there are way worse things about it then the memes make it out to be.

They already did that test with homeless people.
They spent the money on necessities.

Lottery players tend to have a specific personality type. Desperate or gambling addicts or generally bad with money. Regardless, winning a lottery is not a sustaining income plan. It’s fast easy money and the most responsible thing to do with it is pay off debts or other necessities. Not giving your second cousin that you haven’t seen the the family reunion 10 years ago a handout to get their business going isn’t really an asshole move.
People who seemingly became asshole when they got rich were probably just asshole all along. You can sometimes see that attribute poking out from under someone’s mask when they aren’t careful. Ever native how if you criticize a rich person’s attitude, someone will chime in that they’re successful, so it’s ok?
There are some rich people who either luck into money and remain humble and quite. Those people are more or less invisible in the news cycle. If you find one or two in your area and you do charity work, you can sometimes approach them for donations.
There are also those who are successful small business owners and all of them that I’ve dealt with have some degree of asshole behavior, but that comes with the territory. If you let yourself be a pushover will bills or late deliveries, you lose. If they can compartmentalize, they’re fine, but I know some who can’t turn it off. You always feel like you’re walking on eggshells around them.
- Comment on Genshin Impact Game Developer Will be Banned from Selling Lootboxes to Teens Under 16 without Parental Consent, Pay a $20 Million Fine to Settle FTC Charges. 3 days ago:
No. That would be taking money from the parents when they purchase the game. The kids would only be playing the game and so long as there’s no store front in the game, there’s no problem.
Would you ban kids from riding bicycles because stores sell them?

You could just sell the game at a flat cost. You know, like they use to and still do. If you want a “Live Service” game, just sell a DLC/Expansion Pack every few months.

Money doesn’t corrupt people. Corrupt people are just better at getting money.

Well… that’s not quite what I said. I said civil rights. Not equal treatment under the law. If the government passed a law banning Jewish people or that I can own a black man or that trans people can use their preferred bathroom, that law could be equally applied to everyone, but not effect everyone equally.

You act like we only exist on this forum. Some of us have conservative family members and coworkers that we have to hear from constantly. You have to hear a none stop spew of hateful bullshit and the moment you voice any disagreement, they start shouting at you.
They have very few ideas, none of them are new and I’ve already heard every single one.

I haven’t seen a person identify as a conservative on Lemmy without also a shitheel about civil rights.

There is no End Game.
They’re insulated from the short term consequences of their actions and believe that infinite growth and exist inside of a finite system. They treat their bank accounts like a high score board instead of resources to use. Their personal actions can be classified as “banality of evil” because it’s so routine and common place in their circles.
People might point to Musk’s old obsession with Mars, but that has been shown to be nothing more then a dopamine feedback loop. He said things that got him praise, so he kept saying them. When people kept asking about missed dates, he got angry and found a different audience for his dopamine feedback loop.
