  • What have I ever gotten from paying my taxes?

    Except the roads of course, that goes without saying

    And okay, okay, police keeps order and makes it we have a lawful nation

    And sure, sure, firemen will always be there to protect my house from burning down but that’s nothing!

    And I had free education, but come on, isn’t that what you’d expect at the very least?

    Nothing!

    And okay, they did get me free healthcare too, fine, but that’s nothing

    Investments to promote local businesses? Fine…

    So aside from the roads, police, firemen, education, healthcare, investments, what have taxes ever done for me?

    Nothing!

    People like that feel like a Monty Python sketch


  • And they’ll also all go to jail for life for mass manslaughter, right?

    Or is this tragedy one of those “a single death is a tragedy, a million death are a statistic” kind of this?

    Because the sacklers quite literally have pulled a statistic. The sacker family literally is in the areas of Hitler and Stalin with their fucking body count, but at least Hitler did it for a vision, as fucked as it was. These fuckers did it all just for the money

    Thesr victims were not shot, that would have been merciful. They first had to suffer long and hard so that they could spend lots and lots more money before they’d die.

    They. All. Knew.

    Fuck this family. I hate the concept of hell,.nobody deserves to burn for eternity but these fuckers? Yeah, I hope they all burn in hell for eternity, they’re literally at the top of the the worst people ever list.

    But instead they pay some pennies on the dollar as a cost of doing their business…I’m sure that’ll teach them






  • There are the obvious comments about trump being a pedo and all but I think there is also another subject at play here

    The US loves to apply zero tolerance policies. Thesr sound impressive, “zeeerroooo tolerance, we will do everything to stop the bad guy!” But in reality it’s just virtue signalling without doing anything about the real problem.

    Zero tolerance policies make it that the institution doesn’t have to deal with any real problems. A student is a potential problem? Expel them, arrest them, get rid of them. This way, you don’t have to deal with anything and fuck that student, who cares about them?

    A 12 year girl writes on her desk that she likes a clasmate? Arrest her with handcuffs and all and throw her in jail. (True story)

    A girl doesn’t do her homework? Send her to something that effectively is a jail. Why spend time to support her, try to figure out what are the causes behind her problems? Just get rid of it. Eto tolerance, baby!

    Somebody at school or work get bullied forever and finally snaps and hits back? Investigating WHY would take up resources, time, effort, it would cost money that can go to the shareholders and the CEO. Just fire that person, problem gone. That the bullies remain is not a problem, who cares about that? That that, over time, makes ymthe environment in your organization more and more toxic is not your problem.

    I see all these US mass shootings done by young kids and young adults, and I just wonder. I know that the easy access to guns is an enormous issue that a handful of assholes don’t want to fix, but these zero tolerance policies too have a lot of influence on this, I think.

    The USA needs to start dealing with their problems instead of just expelling and jailing every person who has a problem


  • Google: "Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.

    And we will NEVER trust you again because we know you’ll retry this next year or so in a few smaller steps that all have cutesy innocent names that are supposed to lull us in a false sense of security

    Fuck Google, stop paying them for anything, stop using their services wherever possible.
