honestly… you probably shouldn’t leave rakes on the ground where people can step on them. you may not be culpable of murder for it, but it’s still a shitty thing to do.

if you leave a rake on the ground and someone steps on it and trips and dies would you be guilty of murder? no it’s a freak accident that you couldn’t have possibly predicted. the difference is when you can see it happening and don’t pick the rake back up after it happens 3 times. what we’re talking about here aren’t freak accidents where someone dies once. were talking about systemic problems that are easily identified and proven but aren’t fixed because it’s more profitable not to. that’s where you become culpable.

so i guess you become a murderer after you refuse to pick up the rake that has killed 1000 people because of where you intentionally left it. especially when you’re the only one that is allowed to pick up the rake.

I’m not saying i shouldn’t understand compound interest. I do understand it. I’m just saying it hasn’t helped me.

like what are you even implying i should be doing that I’m not?

the fuck can i do about those people and their actions in today’s world? other than shooting them.

doesn’t matter if I understand that when rent has going up $100/year for the last 4 years and now consumes 99% of my income leaving me deciding between rent, food, and electricity. none of that matters when i have negative money to invest with and no debt.

because she’s self medicating for trauma and it’s making her paranoid. this is clearly not a very stable person. in fact, believing the first thing you read on Google about how to use guns is another pretty good sign that that aren’t going to use it safely.

there’s better and worse ways to use drugs. self medicating to escape something is generally the worst way to use them. like, i get it. I’ve been there. it’s how i went from casual user with company to unstable addict. I eventually recognized that and have gotten clean. the reason we need a doctor to help us with dosages to relieve symptoms without losing ourselves is because drugs make us feel good in general. it’s basically impossible to look at yourself and know when it’s too much or inappropriate usage.

all that said, i get it. when you can’t afford a doctor to do that for you sometimes you just need to kill whatever feeling is inside of you. sometimes you just need to run away to survive. just don’t buy a firearm while you do that…

what, you’re saying you haven’t aged 38 years in the last 10? i aged that much in the last 5 years.

if only my professional software supported it…

hmm, feels less significant when the title is just the name of a place or character. or just a common noun. of course they say gladiator at least once in “gladiator” a movie about gladiators.

do they really say “saving private Ryan” in that movie though? it’s been a minute.

more or less every phone has this as well.

i mean, in the video they make it pretty clear that it’s because they were bought out by venture capital and taken public.

i got heartburn just looking at this. that’s literally spiced grease.

i will never get over them fighting with the community about whether the game had multi player when it clearly provably didn’t.

when this game was announced i literally laughed at how badly overpromised it was. that generation of console would never have never been capable of what they wanted. i told all my friends not to buy it because it obviously couldn’t possibly deliver on even half of its claims. they literally just promised everything you could ever want in a space exploration game. the other games that had tried to do that with more resources, more time, and that required better hardware couldn’t even come close to a quarter of what they promised.

they had to know they were over promising. i simply can’t ever trust them after all of that. also, i don’t often like randomly procedurally generated environments in an exploration game. they just get boring fast without someone crafting an exploration experience with goals and points of interest.

because uneducated people are easy to lie to.

well hold on now, they might have kind of a fucked up point if the metric for quality of customer service is strictly defined by customer retention.

most of the isp customer service I’ve dealt with explicitly tries to make it hard to cancel and swap services. if that has stopped enough people from switching then the goal is met. it may not be our definition of what good customer service is, but they didn’t define that. strictly speaking, they’re not technically wrong to say that some customers are still there because of their customer service.

not trying to defend them, just trying to guess what they might use to support their argument. it’s disgusting and shitty either way.

shit, the number’s right there. could ask.

i mean it was coined less than 2 years ago. you can’t expect a word like that to take off immediately. it took about a year to circulate into common use.

please look things up to confirm before you comment.

this is not true. Russia is not included in this stat. Russia is way bigger than America on its own.

why does everyone on this website have wild misconceptions about the size of America and Europe. it goes both ways, I’ve had to fight Europeans that thought America was “nearly as big as eastern Europe” on here before too. why are so many people so confidently incorrect about such an easily confirmed fact???

you need to familiarize yourself with how Map projections distort the shape and size of land masses, because that’s the only way i can imagine you got this idea.

it’s not even close, Alaska is way smaller than Europe. go look to some actual statistics. with all of its landmass combined the United States is 0.98x the size of Europe. it’s smaller, but barely. they are nearly exactly the same size if you made them both into a circle.

I’m having trouble following you here, but it sounds like you’re just saying that the other colora are derived from mixing the primaries. that doesn’t make the colors you get from that a mental illness??

is mud not real because it’s just wet dirt? is steel not real because it’s just iron with added carbon? that’s silly.

if your only point is that non primary colors are made by mixing primary colors then congrats, you’ve taught a kindergarten lesson very badly.
