I propose taking that 1k, measuring against the average income of anyone who makes under 1M, and use that percentage of cost of living to fine the company appropriately.

Example: 1k fine for someone who makes 10k/yr, that 1k is 10% of their yearly income, whereas a company that makes 10,000,000,000/yr, that’s only 0.0001%

When it’s time for money: COMPANIES ARE PEOPLE TOO!

When it’s time for punishment: but you can’t hold a company responsible, it’s not just one person.

Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.

I threw this together in 2 minutes:

There are three things you don’t mess with

Mother nature

Mother in laws

And my mother fucking money

No pay, no work.

You’re still more patient Than I.

It’s great that they’re rational enough to change their views in the face of evidence, even if it takes more evidence than it usual.

bit my tongue to not torpedo our relationship

I’m so glad my wife is basically no contact with her parents, because I never have to play nice with them.

Oh, it’s definitely a thing. Especially with Lower Decks being animated, and therefore easily replicated in style.

… Not that I’d know anything about such things.

Infinite realities means infinite possibilities, so somewhere in the multiverse there’s a starfleet absolutely filled with cock monsters.

The question is, do they seek out new life for exploration?

Or is it for cocks…

I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.

Google is a company.

Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.

Well you’re definitely not going to get there if you spend all day explaining infinity to people.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

… Well, better get to walking.

I swear I read this exact comment about the UK after brexit…

Good call.

You can’t go out shooting while you’re drinking. You should be able to smoke whenever you want as long as you’re not inebriated when you’re shooting.

Fully agree, and have alienated myself from former friends over this.

You can drink all day and night. but don’t you dare touch a firearm while drinking. I don’t care if you’re just a little buzzed, man

As far as I’m concerned, smoke weed every day. But don’t you dare touch a firearm while high. I don’t care if you’re just a little toasty, man

Drugs and guns don’t mix. Alcohol is a drug. Don’t drink and shoot.

SNAKE?!

Well, normally I would agree with you but I don’t have neighbors close enough to see me with any sort of camera, and with biking in, flock cameras aren’t going to help anyone with anything.

Unless someone is hiding cameras on hiking and biking trails right around where I live, cameras aren’t going to help identify a generic black blob riding a generic black bicycle as anyone specific.

It’s funny you mention flock cameras though because I was talking to some friends yesterday and none of them had ever heard of flock, and when I pointed out the cameras, they seemed to finally realize they’re under constant surveillance, since over the last year they’ve been popping up all over the city.

I may or may not have “jokingly” suggested we start cutting them down and go full Office Space on them.

It’s crazy just how many cameras aren’t even actively hidden, they’re just in places you don’t normally look. Honestly shows like Person of Interest and movies like Enemy of the State back in the day made me realize just how much surveillance there is on the average citizen, and how little privacy we really have. And that’s fiction. I’m sure the reality is far worse.

Cell phones get left at home, masks and hats help protect identities, and we have radios strapped to our backpacks that have first aid supplies (as well as a few things for if things got spicy) in them.

If you’re going up against technologically up to date nazis, you don’t go using easily traceable things.

Hell, I even used a walking stick so the way I walk is different.

Biked to the meeting spot and locked everything up out of sight.

If anyone we didn’t tell knew we were there, I’d be slightly surprised.

Break the cycle of abuse.

Be better than XT-22.

Leave a better ship for XT-24.

Also, 30 years and he didn’t bother with a cover up?

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.

E-ink display, mini keyboard and touchpad, multiple ways/ports to transfer info, All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that’s able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that’s shielded from EMP.
