Yea, it’s really hard to get my head around any kind of communist type of ideals when I know I’d be doing 3x the work of pretty much everyone around me for the same outcome as them. Not that capitalism is much better but at least with that I get SOMETHING more to show for my efforts

Every time I see something about that bear vs man thing it just turns into a shitload of people straw-manning the hell out of the opposing gender. The whole thing is fucking stupid.

A fuckload of people are really going to have to make an effort to get their shit together for that to happen. As things stand the majority are dead weight.

couple times a week. there’s not a lot around me food options wise. Whopper jr. is just the same thing as a whopper but with the regular burger patty instead of the whopper one so it’s smaller.

I always thought of it as more of a “give me something interesting to do and I’ll apply myself person”. I did great in science because we were always doing experiments and shit. Math not so much because it was just here’s how to do X. Now lose an hour of your free time doing that 80 times. Fuck that.

Bk is still my go to for lunch when I work in the office. 2 whopper jrs or 2 double cheeseburgers is like 6 bucks. The combo meals are definitely ridiculous though.

Are these tariffs based off how they treat their workers? Do countries with good working conditions not have tariffs?

I already read that one, where do you think I got the quote I provided you? Did you read it?

Anyway. I went ahead and read two more to try and get a more concise explanation of what was proven in court here are some notes:

In an alleged deepfake video — altered through software to make one person appear as another — the same girl was depicted to be vaping. That video was sent to the coaches of the Doylestown-based cheerleading squad in an attempt to get the girl kicked off the team.

We know this was not fake but it was sent to the coaches, not the parents. Doesn’t seem like someone who is concerned about the girl in the video. Seems like someone who wants to fuck up their cheerleading career.

In one of the calls the girl received, she was told, “You should kill yourself.”

Two other parents came forward to police in December 2020 to report that their daughters were targeted with similar calls and texts, including salacious images that placed them in situations that never occurred. Some images included cruel captions.

A search of Spone’s phone by police found the images that were sent in the messages stored on her mobile device.

So we’ve confirmed she had images with cruel captions on her phone. That IS harassment and again, not the behavior of a concerned parent.

Prosecutors said that Spone used several anonymous phone numbers to contact the girls’ mothers and the cheerleading team coaches. Spone hid her phone numbers using an app called Pinger, prosecutors said.

Magisterial District Judge Regina Armitage allowed the trial to move forward in Bucks County Common Pleas Court. Spone remained accused of making inappropriate calls and sending hostile text messages about the three girls from incognito phone numbers.

The three girls and their mothers testified during the trial that they were scared after receiving the messages because they didn’t know who was sending them. Spone never identified herself when asked who the texts were from, prosecutors said.

Spone was not behaving like a concerned mother, prosecutors said, because she initially went to the cheerleading team’s coaches instead of the parents. Spone knew the mothers of all three girls and could have contacted them individually through her own number, investigators said.

She fucked around and ended up having her name drug through the mud. Same as she was trying to do to the girls. I have no sympathy. Is the deepfake thing stupid? Yes, but that’s on the cops for not investigating properly before making statements. As usual.

They were vaping and drinking, normal shit 16 year olds do and not hurting anyone. It’s hardly the end of the world. She didn’t just keep it between the families. If she hadn’t tried to fuck them over and get them kicked off the cheerleading team it would have been a non-issue. Doesn’t really matter what the cops initial motivations were. She went through a trial and a jury reviewed the evidence and found her guilty.

The first mom went to the other kids’ parents. She tried to at least keep it between the families.

That’s not what she was convicted of. She sent them to the cheerleading organization as well.

In March 2022, Spone was found guilty of three counts of misdemeanour harassment for repeatedly sending anonymous messages about the three teenagers. A jury found that she had used secret phone numbers to send incriminating photos and videos. The messages – sent to the Victory Vipers and to the teenagers’ families – accused the cheerleaders of drinking, smoking and posting revealing photos on social media. The anonymous numbers used to send the messages had been sent from an IP address belonging to Spone. She appealed against her conviction, but the superior court of Pennsylvania upheld it on 14 November 2023._{___}

Ruined someone’s life who was trying to ruin theirs. Fair play IMO.

Technically yes. I have all my piracy stuff running in a VM on my desktop.

How about American companies just learn to compete? The same bullshit is why we can’t get a fucking normal sized truck in this country.

Their stuff has worked well for me too.

The worry that someone would get murdered and they’d pin it on me because I’m a fucking weirdo loner and wouldn’t have an alibi because I was always at home by myself was a non-negligible part of why I started making an effort to socialize more.

So if Tesla develops new technology that allows them to produce cars cheaper, should they be required to lower the sale price of their vehicles?

No, they price them based off tons of factors. I understand that. What I’m saying is they’ve demonstrated that they can sell the vehicle at that cheaper price point so do it. If it only works because the people paying more are subsidizing the cheaper ones then the price should probably be somewhere in the middle. When they are selling two identical vehicles those should be the same price. What they are doing is the same as if they were selling a “headlights” version and “no headlights” version and accomplishing that by just smashing the headlights on the latter as they roll of the line. It’s dishonest, stupid, and wasteful.

My only problem is trying to use it with the android app. I have to manually sync it like all the time which is a pain in the ass when I forget to do it before I go out the door and my shopping list isn’t update. That and it won’t sync files I create on the phone to the server

Because they are over charging people for the same hardware. Everyone is receiving the same product except for the fact that the cheaper one is hamstrung by an unnecessary software change. If it wasn’t for that all these cars would be identical. If they can sell it cheaper then do so. If they can’t don’t. If you want to have different price tiers make a version with more actual features. How are you not seeing this as a bad thing?

To keep the important people from getting shot. Same reason batman makes robin wear a flashy costume.
