Well we don’t just want crackheads, we want crackbodies and cracklimbs and kinda crack all the things. We want to smash the statues, cracks are just the start.

“You can’t even order black coffee anymore” is a common Conservative fantasy. OP definitely has a victim complex.

People with actual higher scores don’t need it to be explained, and people with lower scores don’t want it to be explained.

You know he doesn’t. The lottery doesn’t pay with fucking cash in duffel bags. Win the lottery my ass.

Even immersing the car doesn’t really stop it, it kind of just pauses the fire. When it’s surfaced again and starts to dry it tends to self ignite again for a very long time. EV fires are extremely difficult to stop right now and the procedure usually boils down to “Let it burn itself out and keep everything around it from catching too.”

The solution to people not wanting to haul garbage was to pay them enough that it’s worth doing anyway, same as with all the rest of the jobs people really don’t WANT to do. Garbage haulers sure as shit aren’t paid minimum wage, I’ll tell you that right now.

Nobody WANTS to crawl into a sewer and use a pressure washer to break up a massive chunk of congealed fat, human excrement and “flushable” wipes as human waste splatters all over them, but as with most things if you offer an enticing enough reward someone will eventually do it for the paycheck. And there are lots of jobs like this, miserable things that need to get done and nobody wants to do, but they’re important for a functioning society. You might find some people who would do it just out of passion for mopping sick off yet another floor, but you’ll never find enough people who want to do that more than they want to do anything else. You also won’t find people widely enough distributed to cover all the needs, you just can’t assume every single town has a core of people so dedicated to the idea of handling hazardous biowaste regularly to staff all the required positions purely for the love of it.

There are already incentives to “optimize” these awful tasks away, the very means of their completion is and has been to just throw heaps of money at the problem. Being the one to fix it forever for everyone would come with heaps of money getting thrown at you, and yet it still isn’t done. You’re certainly not going to encourage even more problem solving to problems that already exist by eliminating any existing reward system. If they didn’t fix it for the reward of being set for life, they’re not about to fix it just because they had nothing better to do.

Okay, now who’s going to haul garbage and unclog sewers just for the love of the game?

Imagine thinking that only minorities can stand up for minority rights. What’s your suggestion then, that White people have no business doing anything but maintaining the status quo, because it’s not their place to speak out for others?

Being on an egalitarian network of folks talking doesn’t render you immune, and indeed requires, that stupid statements and stupid ideas be demolished for their own lack of value.

This doesn’t appear to be about games that don’t have the proper licenses though. They do, but the licenses don’t mention Steam and some chucklefuck thought that would be the key to making a ton of money.

It’s like suing Spotify because an artist correctly licensed a sample.

Fuck Discord is the common message now, but how about we amplify good alternatives? It’ll be easier to tell Discord to fuck off if we’re already set to move elsewhere.

Did you miss the part where the change is global? It also applies where the government hasn’t required it.

I’m sure that’s a distinction the magastapo will appreciate as they beat you to death.

Well Timmy that should make it pretty easy to make a platform that both users and content producers like more. If you actually try to compete you might accomplish something.

I would rather pay money than use Epic, not because I don’t want another launcher but because it’s Epic.

That also assumes they got it on Epic in the first place, instead of the increased awareness of the game leading them to decide to get it, just from Steam instead.

The last time I had to disembark a flight on the tarmac instead of via jet bridge, it was still a switch-back ramp instead of stairs, and was fully ADA compliant.

And what do those things cost somewhere that isn’t using the dumb member card system?

You’re not getting a deal, non-catdholders are getting shafted while you pat yourself on the back and the store sells shockingly detailed data about you.

Missed the part where they said “with your local area code” huh.

Well, file taxes and tell us how that went. Because if you didn’t keep the receipts as a record of the exact amount and proof of those donations, you don’t get to submit them for a tax break. Vibes and memories don’t cut it for tax deductions.

So yeah the customer technically gets that tax break, but its more work than it’s worth to actually claim it.
