I've been avoiding starbucks for year. Garbage company. But I do have a gift card I think so I might be forced to use it, or give it away since if I don't then they just get a free donation to their company.
Yeah I had your idea back when I wanted a nas. I didn't have the time and just bought a synology knowing it wasn't the best option and was aware of the possibility of enshitification. Now that they've enshitified, I can't really recommend them any longer. So far it's been good but I'm still looking for options that are quick and easy to set up. Or maybe I'll grit my teeth and start building one from scratch.
I'd argue the main part of the argument isn't the ad hominem. "For the betterment of society" works in this argument and it doesn't really focuses on the mother, it just makes her realize that this is a real situation that she herself should know personally.
It does address using taxpayer money to lock up violent criminals is beneficial for society and supporting and without going in to depth, it also argues that the idea of student debt repayment would also be a net positive for society.
Sure, it's not a detailed argument but it's also not playing on guiltiness by blood relation saying she should be locked up as well.
That's news to me. Thanks for the info
