Any shithead not paying their taxes is a problem

-someone who actually pays taxes

… strain on RAM resources? What year is it?

I’m not sure why you’re being hostile towards Chapelle after finding that context. He was trying to make some sort of peace and got slighted.

And it’s everyone’s job to try to bridge divides in this climate. Would you also tell Swift to stay in her lane? How about Schwarzenegger?

Also despite her being trashy and stupid, Beobert is a representative of her district. If she’s shut out, then her constituents are shut out. And that snubbing is exactly how the maga virus started and keeps perpetuating.

Do you also get annoyed when something not actually cold is called cool? Or if someone doesn’t actually get to a task “in a minute”?

If literally everyone in CA was actually sick, that would have a bigger impact than late-2020 COVID. I’d prefer if language wasn’t catered to the type of person who doesn’t recognize the post title is an exaggeration to convey seriousness.

Can’t miss an opportunity to Well Acktchually. 23% really is a huge amount

This 2007 document seems to do a pretty good job at going over the motivations when the law was made. It’s a bit longer to read than I have time for right now, but it seems like it’s worth the time judging by the intro and background

My soul died a bit thinking of that wasted MDF

1. It’s legal for the public to own guns in Czech Republic
2. If you’re going to try to start a anti gun control circlejerk - try not to do it under an article about a mass shooting, dipshit.

Can’t say anything about buying new clothes, but as the budget’s tightened in my household I’ve been leaning how to mend my clothes. The ones I normally would’ve thrown away due to armpit/toe/crotch holes can be fixed somewhat easily.

One catch is that I use a sewing machine my MIL gave me - so there was some cost somewhere. But I see machines on craigslist going for sub 60 fairly often. The second catch is that I was lucky enough to develop an interest (and spend my free time) learning about how to mend clothes. If people lack free time/interest to learn how to do it, then they end up paying the new-clothes tax.

Got it. People on this site are stupid idealistic as hell, so it’s probably good that I spelled out why these things are expensive. I wouldn’t be surprised if some folks thought animal cruelty exists in these industries because people are mean.

You’re basically telling me that in order to have cruelty-free wool, I have to be wealthy.

Congrats. You found out why there’s animal cruelty in the first place. People need cheaper things -> other things need to be sacrificed to make that happen.

Ok. What about the president using the bully pulpit to call out price gouging after inflation has cooled down. Like last month. Or trying to tackle junk fees?

I know someone who’s trying to become a content creator on YT and is trying to study The Algorithm to make it work in their favor. My impression of Google’s direction for YouTube is that they want to take over agency of curation from the user to The Algorithm.

That is, I believe they don’t want people to look at views, likes, comments to know if something’s worth it - they want people to find/trust videos returned by the search results and recommended videos list. My guess is that may fuzz lower view count videos next, but who knows.

A literal kid telling an oldfag that he’s the reason the internet is shit today. Ok, lol

Yea I remember that argument being used for when they removed likes/dislikes - surprise, YT’s not flooded with false videos any more than it was before.

And it doesn’t surprise me that some shithead that uses the term poojeet is against tools to help reduce toxic brigading.

I hate Starbucks and Panera, and would never go into one if I had the choice

My mistake, I see what you mean now. I don’t think that matters whether you can pour yourself more or not? It’s not like you can pour yourself more Monster drinks

What Is an Energy Drink? A beverage that typically contains large amounts of caffeine, added sugars, other additives, and legal stimulants such as guarana, taurine, and L-carnitine. These legal stimulants can increase alertness, attention, energy, as well as increase blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing.

The drink in question had no additives other than caffeine…. Sounds like more like coffee or a frappe to me.

It’s an energy drink the same way a cup of coffee is an energy drink. It’s being called that by the plaintiffs because of the negative connotation “energy drink” has - zero other reason. And it’s not like Panera hid the fact that it had caffeine…

…wow. From what I know - the defense generative models have against copyright is that they don’t copy their training data directly. If the models have that data in some form that can be repeated back, they can/should get reamed by lawsuits.

??? Are you a bot? Did you read the part in the comment chain where it was shown that it wasn’t a fact?

Also please learn some self awareness if you’re going to use bad characterization while accusing me of doing the same thing
