Of course. The whole point is to squeeze the masses, not give them a break.

Thanks for this.

The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.

That’s 245%. Anyone else? 245% going, going, gone. Sold for 245%! Next!

“I want to check that old building for treasure!” vs. “I want to check my son’s porn usage”.

Wow. A white guy with money has an opinion. This is getting crazy! /s

Crypto is the new “Brooklyn Bridge”. More snake oil anyone?

I’ll do you one better. All political/economic systems are just an extension of human nature.

Forcing you on to “The Cloud” (i.e. other peoples disk space) so your data can be rummaged through. I don’t like it.

It’s nice to see that people are not just throwing shit to the “cloud”. The “cloud” is just someone else’s disk space and from there, anything can happen.

No advice here but whatever method you choose, script in a notification that all went well with backups so you know if you need to troubleshoot or not.

This sounds like another lepree con.

April Fools!

Just what we need, at a time when it’ll do the most good! /s

You can remove the data yourself but you need to log in with biometrics. A retinal scan, a face recognition scan and a fingerprint. /s

Not everything.

Whew! I followed you though. There are other factors as well I’m sure, but yeah, those are some of them, and big ones too. Greed sure does become complicated over time. Institutions are built on it. It was a bit hard to get past the arrogant-sounding “Repeat after me” but I’m glad I kept going.

That’s where I’m at. I got one for Christmas and then learned about all of the politicization after the fact. Now when I play Walkabout Mini Golf I have fun, but also hate myself for not throwing it all away.

That looks like what they used to call a “Displaced Person”.

A rose is a rose is a rose. I get your point though. Terms must be defined specifically in order to hold academic discussions. Welfare is called socialism by some.

Socialism in america only exists for corporations. “Hey bankers! Screwed up again? Here’s more money to play with.”
