“we should hear both sides!” Is and always has been an argument from people who know they are wrong, who want to pollute the available information from the people who are right.

Seems like a dedicated person might be able to prove that. Go through the available data and see what % of leaked accounts actually point to a real person, or even a unique person. If it’s mostly bots you’d see that pretty quick

This implies that you can both see where the electrons are and where they’re going. Obviously that’s impossible.

We produced everything to spec and on time, thanks.

Back when I was a fabricator I made some of the critical components used in Amazon stores. Amazon was incredibly particular about every little detail, even on parts that didn’t call for tight tolerancing in any conceivable way. They, on several occasions, sent us one bad set of prints after another. Which we could only discover after completing a run of parts. We’re talking 20-30 thousand units that ended up being scrapped because of their shitty prints. Millions of dollars set on fire, basically.

They became such a huge pain in the ass to work with we eliminated every single SKU they ordered from us.

Right, but the data you get from that test is pretty broad. One test will create a background for an entire family. You only need to do one for one child. Or if both parents have one, or a sibling of both parents have done one, the children of that pair also no longer needs a test to see their background.

Sir I am at work.

So obviously I’ll take a nap

I want you to know a few things. First, you saved me a Google, so I appreciate that. Second, I am working overtime to support a department that isn’t working at the moment, and so I have very little to do. (Long story) I was real excited to slap on my headphones and listen to an hour and a half long rant about fallout 3, only to discover that I left them at home. And so I am terribly disappointed.

Oh I’m sure, classic top gear is crazy accessible. There are multiple hours long compilations on YouTube of some of the best crazy shit they did. I just wanted to parrot Clarkson.

And on that terrible disappointment, back to piracy.

I have fewer issues with the jellyfin app on my TV than I do with literally any of the streaming apps on the same television. My only gripe with jellyfin is there’s no PS5 app.

The scene in Austin Powers when he first comes out of cryo and assumes the communists won the cold war makes a lot more sense to me as an adult

Land is land. We don’t get any more. Some land is inherently more valuable than other. We should be disincentivizing ownership of land unless it’s being cultivated or contributing in some way.

By saying that farms don’t pay property tax, we’re creating an avenue for billionaires to create “farms” and skirt taxes.

Instead what we should be doing is guaranteeing that crops will sell. Pay the property tax, use the land, and if your harvest fails at market, then the government covers the gap. But not before. I’m even cool with the government buying the seed and feed. That’s all renewable and contributes to a bountiful harvest. Having taxes to pay on the value of the land encourages it’s use, and pushes the wealthy billionaires away from wanting to own it just cuz. They’ll naturally look for the least valuable land if they just want a big ass estate. Who cares if they build a mansion on a pile of worthless rock?

If you’re retired or disabled, you’re not working a farm.

If you are working a farm, then you should be paying taxes anyway.

You realize there are literally dozens of examples of dense urban environments flooded with small private businesses right?

If that was satire, it was incredibly well done. If it’s red sincere, it’s a great example of why property taxes should still apply at a certain point, and that point should be very narrow.

at the primary residence up to .25 acres. Anything more than that should be taxed as normal. Credits should be non transferrable, as in if you’re renting your landlord shouldn’t be able to claim you for tax exempt status.

I would like to contribute labor to developing a discord alternative.

I also don’t know shit about fuck. Is this not something that can be made open source?

The car he’s reviewing does not exist. He has some technical specs and a few renders to review.
