I disagree, moving AWAY from this idea to the one where addicts are helpless passengers in their own lives without agency is causing the damage.  Addicts love an excuse, and society is currently feeding them nothing but endless excuses and telling them they are not responsible for their problems.  There may be a…

exactly! It seems to me like this is peak “shooting the watchdog because it keeps you up at night,” the problem is not the notes the problem is people behaving antisocially with their cars.

If they provided a phone number to call or an app where you can snap pictures of someone’s bad parking job and they get fined…

and yet nothing they’re saying about him isn’t ALSO being said by democrats about republicans who have the same symptoms... go look at any article about Mitch, they’re literally cheering his stroke symptoms.

that’s a tenuous link at best, especially because campaign workers are largely volunteers.

I understand the complaint but I think it’s very dangerous when you are trying to say someone campaigning for a political office can’t say what can be understood to mean “we should repeal the NLRA and allow employers to fire striking workers” because there’s a law that protects that right CURRENTLY.

the problem is at the end of the day you cannot control sex trafficking without investigating sex work. They’re twin sides of the same coin. It’s like trying to control drug abuse without investigating prescription drugs whatsoever and not dealing with them at all— the “legal” supply is commingled with the illegal…

companies are still heavily investing in “industrial NFT” which operates far differently (there’s no energy-wasting proof of work for one) and show real potential for things like inventory management and international shipping, but I have no doubt most people won’t ever own an NFT, even if they might be prescribed…

“I refuse to believe fire is dangerous unless you can point out someone that spontaineously combusted! see! you can’t do it!”

This is actually a really, really good thing for gamers.

The price is fairly minuscule, does not affect free games, and only affects games once they’re earning “real money”. A mid-price indy game that costs 20 bucks this is a rounding error in the price and would a price change from 19.99 to 20.15 really stop anyone…

in what world could a maximum of ten cents per install once you earn more than 200k and have 200k users on a monetized game bankrupt anyone?

that would require your average revenue per user to be miniscule.

bold of you to assume someone on “only” ketamine and coke isn’t the best Florida has to offer compared to the run of the mill meth-and-bath-salt zombies.

yes because telling people they are not allowed to start a business or get a job in the cannabis industry would create no racial animosity whatsoever (or be legal in any way shape or form).

I know that and I still think it’s a disaster, any time you promise one group something other people also desperately need and leave another equally impoverished group out it’s going to sow dissension and create animosity. That’s the whole point, that’s why it’s becoming a major issue now because the wealthy class…

all-night places seem to attract trouble.  It was another gawkerverse site that summed it up nicely “Waffle houses are not a chain of restaurants that sometimes have fights, they are a chain of fights that happens to serve food”

My biggest issue with them is twofold— first my local BM is beyond clapped out, the speakers outside were blown out years ago and sound like a speak-n-spell that’s been sitting in an attic since the carter administration being played at top volume, the floor tiles are cracked, the pavement outside looks like it came…

we have a bingo! It’s no noble and thoughtful game design decision.

Reparations are the ultimate in race-baiting by the elites. They are tailor-made to stir up racial animosity and pit poor people against each other and prevent them from uniting by telling one group they deserve the other’s money, and the other that even though they’re barely keeping head above water they are going to…

there once was a man in nantucket

please stop with the bullshit “killed for innocent sounding ‘crime’” thing. The moment you’re fighting cops it’s no longer about the crime that caused the whole event it’s now about the fact you’re trying to kill someone.

that’s completely wrong.
