Corporations like WalMart have a long, long history of placing downward pressure on wages and forcing employees onto government assistance programs.%20and%20Target%20(302).)

It’s more widespread now thanks to the refusal of corporations and their owned politicians to allow any increase to the federal minimum wage.

Baffle them with bullshit. Make so many changes nobody knows what’s happening.

I understand that, which is why I suggested a codified standard for those “sames” we have in common so that they’re all signed the same.

Yeah, there’s different sign language “languages”, with other variations and slang. No perfect system. Plus words for things thar only exist in that area, like a schnitzel vs fried chicken. It’d still be great if we could codify a thorough set of words that are the same across the board for basics like bicycle, toilet, hospital, food, drink, face, leg, etc., things we all have generally in common, so that learning the area specific words would be all that is needed.

Because it doesn’t work anymore, especially with the Republicans in charge. They know that if trump goes they’ll be held to account, too, so better to keep the PoS in office so they don’t have to deal with any fallout. They’d have to follow through with removal from office. Impeachment has become nothing more than wagging a finger and a furrowed brow

I like this idea. Generally somewhat simplified, and no “pronunciation” needed if it were standardized.

Pretty easy when they took away my favorite app and tried to force me into their ad-riddled POS - along with their hostile treatment and shuttering of subs that didn’t conform. It was already getting to the point that, after a decade plus of being a “redditor”, the place was wearing thin. The constant reposts and karma whoring, the hive mind, the low-hanging fruit of quips getting the most upvotes vs a well-thought out reply, the shills and bots, they were killing Reddit IMO. The action against third party apps was the final straw.

My friend, this isn’t about how to build a car, and I don’t know why you’re trying to force it. This is about spending money if you have it and want to spend it on something relatively unknown. It’s what OP asked for. Not a lesson on building an 8 second track car.

The point of this was what people might not know about that you can buy if you’ve got 6 figure $ burning a hole in your pocket.

Not how to build a budget fun AF Honda that will blow up after the Nth overboost.

Christ, couldn’t they start with something like Sinclair or Google instead?

DIY race car, street legal. ~$55k for the base car, $30k for engine and transmission. Then add all the rest for things like tires ($2k) and whatever further refinements you’d want as an owner. All told, probably $110k DIY minimum. Play with your choices here. Cheaper than any modern supercar, even the used ones.

Plenty of racism in those forums playing out the “black on black” crime trope except it’s African on African crime, their fault for the slave trade, etc.

Aaaand that’s one of the reasons why I got rid of Plex. “Bought” it, then they found some other feature to paywall. Bought that, then another feature. Then it stopped playing files of certain extensions through chromecast. Fuck that. Put together Jellyfin and moved my collection over. Zero trouble since.

I dunno about the tax laws here. Seems anything purchased in game with fake game money that stays in game shouldn’t be subject to a sales tax. Buying game currency with real currency? Sure. Buying real things by selling in-game accounts or items for real money? Fine.

Heh. Went through just that box of mixed cables this year. Got rid of all the ancient cable duplicates (like 2.5 floppy ribbon cable) and kept one of each, more useful ones I kept duplicates of like SATA cables. The rest were gotten rid of.

Got excited when it came out, started playing, and same story. Just couldn’t force myself to finish.

Is it? Maybe I got them confused because of Kirk’s “change my mind” bs.

I knew him because of the memes that distorted his face to look like “Butthead” from the cartoon and the “change my mind” meme. I didn’t know how ingrained his shitty answer-as-accusation or racist dogwhistle was in right wing circles.

Shut it down? No. Fascist firewall it and fill it with shitty boot-licking AI answers? Sure.

Unfortunately the “anything” is limited by what the game allows. If “anything” isn’t what you find interesting, then you’re gonna drop the game pretty quick.
