I didn’t say they don’t, I said it’s difficult for people who don’t know how. You have to spend time on education when you go vegan.

That’s a cell phone!

Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!

Facebook got so bad that you couldn’t even see anything your friends posted. It was all sponsored content. So eventually most people completely stopped posting, myself included. It looks like they backed off that BS a couple of days ago, but it’s probably too late, the flight away has already occurred.

Department store employees are weirdly conceited, especially if it’s a fancier shop like Nordstrom. I don’t know why, but it has been that way my whole life.

This made me laugh out loud.

No single individual will beat a corporation as large as Facebook in a court battle. You could have all the evidence in the world and they’ll still beat you in court and destroy your life in the process. It took a massive class action lawsuit to hold them accountable for the Cambridge Analytica case, and the punishment was still pennies to them.

Look at the DuPont case. There was abundant evidence that they were knowingly poisoning the planet, and giving people cancer, and they still managed to drag that case on for 30 years before a judgement. In the end they were fined less than 3% of their profit from a single year. That was their punishment for poisoning 99% of all life on planet earth, knowingly killing factory workers, bribing government agencies, lying, cheating, and just all around being evil fucks. 3% of their profit from a single year.

How do you know they don’t get the encryption keys to decipher the messages for them?

My guess is that they just capture keywords before you send it. They don’t need to read the contents of the sent conversation when both parties to the conversation are using an app they own. They can detect keywords before sending, log and report them, then send the message encrypted. No need to retain encryption keys since they already extracted what they want.

Why would you tip someone who just rang you up? Tipping is for exceptional service rendered, not for pushing a button on a screen and handing you something. This whole over-tipping bullshit was started by the credit card point of sale machine businesses, because they reap greater profits. If everyone makes tips, then no one makes tips. The only winner is square cash.

Yeesh! That’s lazy directing.

You guys are all Eugene Roshal alts. Aren’t you? Nice try Eugene!

Edit: in reality I think Eugene is a badass who has done something really special in a world overflowing with greed.

The maintenance and fuel costs are probably considerably lower.

Okay, NOW it’s starting to look like the future I was promised as a kid! I mean not really, it’s just this one thing, but still! That’s a very cool vehicle.

Ouch! Sounds familiar, since I went through much of the same. Hang in there! If they don’t give you pain meds before you leave, ask for them! I didn’t ask for any and so they didn’t give me any. I wasn’t able to get any for another 36 hours of excruciating pain.

Yeah you’ll end up with some muscle imbalance. I couldn’t walk for about 3 months after shattering my ankle and when they finally took the cast off, my leg was super atrophied and one of my shoulders was all fucked up from 3 months of having to compensate for half my lower body not working. The good news is all that shit is temporary, as long as you do your PT, and then focus on fitness after you’ve recovered enough. Ask the physical therapist, or the surgeon what mobility aids to use, they’ll know. Also make sure to get the handicapped placard, you’ll need it for awhile.

Of course, and of course!

The knee scooters worked the best for me until I was strong enough and the pain had subsided enough for crutches. They’re not great in small rooms though.

Good luck to you!

Edit: you can often find those scooters at the thrift store or on Craigslist. Of course that won’t work if it’s your femur that is broken.

Right, because the Hamas haven’t killed anyone because of religious differences, or ethnicity.

Did you request that from their website?

Damn. Really? I remember when Ubuntu was first released!
