“They” are also objectively stupid. And they are willing, enthusiastic, participants in their “exploitation”.

Isn’t an inside out sphere, . . . . Just a sphere?

$5K one-time payment? No way!

$5K per month? Sign me up.

If they are publically-traded, they have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to “maximize profit”. They have no responsibility to “make the world a better place”.

That’s (only one reason) why corporations suck.

You should tell him. That's fucked up.

Possibly true for independents, the the "never-teump republicans" you mentioned are unicorns. The republicans are too busy sucking his dick to stop and think whether they should vote for someone else.

I really, really, doubt that there are a large number of people who fit that description. I would love to be proven wrong, but it seems like there are orders of magnitude more batshit-crazy christo-fascist racists, than there are moderate republicans.

I wouldn't wish him dead, but I wouldn't be sad if it happened.

It just seems ridiculous on its face. If the "rules" are the literal word of God, then how can men change them? If they can change them to suit their own purposes, why should other men listen to them? How do the followers not care?

If you can just get together and decide "OK, now rule X has been changed to rule Y"; how is anyone supposed to take any of it seriously? It is literally made up as it suits them.

…and it would look unappetizing. Nobody wants that.

There's the problem. How about trying to make your food more appetizing. . .

Oligarchy is the word you're trying for.

Anchor bolts were already installed, and then the base was changed. No time to redo it, so just make it work, and hope the client doesn't notice.

An actually really good Linux CAD program.

I prefer the first 3 x-es. I find most of the combat to be more tedious than fun, but I haven’t played much new stuff since Civ VI came out, so I may be OOTL a bit.

All religions think all other religions are not “real”, because of their “There can be only one!” Highlander shit.

I’m not ashamed that I was born in a backwards, bible-thumping, right-wing hellhole. But, I am ashamed of how backwards and idiotic my home state is.

I just had a thought. . . Put trump in jail as bait. . … let his followers come to “rescue” him. . . . Let them experience the American military power that they love so much. . . I don’t think their AR-15s are going to be much help vs tanks and helicopters and satellites, etc

It is what it is.

So he campaigns at “Spanky’s Livestock Auction”, and trump has press conference at “Four Seasons Landscaping”; WTF is wrong with these people? Do they not understand the concept of perception?
