Not how it works. Until you cross into their building, not on property, it's just you commuting to work on your own dime.

Trip and break your hip in the parking lot before work? Not work related. I definitely think it *should* be, but it isn't.

The kinds of foods that trash your LDL predate the FDA and the United States.

I was thinking the same thing. It must have a whole raft of licensing fees on it. If the price keeps enough people out of the market for it then these will turn out to be some of the most valuable minifigs of all time. I wonder what it costs if you buy the same pieces (less the figures) via parts orders.

This is about surveillance and eliminating anonymity on the internet. A handful of victims lobbying doesn't do jack shit anymore if it ever did.

That kind of naivety is why we can't actually solve problems.

They want to dismantle capitalism and installed themselves as feudal Lords.

They are sick and tired of being dependent on consumers and employees. So they want to automate basically everything so they can eliminate virtually all employees and then keep a handful of people around to keep the machines going and then a handful of thugs to keep the engineers in line. Maybe mix in a little bit of religious zealotry and extremism. Set themselves up as gods like the emperor of Japan did maybe or the Pharaohs.

The rest of us, including you, will live in the most unimaginable abject poverty. Think like South Sudan or the remains of Gaza or the Indian reservations before the casinos. Every now and then they'll probably use drones to fire bomb us when our numbers get too high and we might pose a threat. Basically pest control.

It remains to be seen if they will pull it off they've been at it for about 60 years and so far they have achieved all of their goals. They have unlimited money and power so they never stop trying and the vast majority of us are blissfully unaware of what they're doing.

But holy fucking shit did you see those 14 trans girls playing field hockey in the midwest? Stop whatever you're doing right now and stop whatever you're thinking that is the most important thing for you to be concerned about right now.

Facebook was aware of the scams and was actively ignoring them. These are cases where they had upwards to 500 reports that the advertisements were scams, their internal checks detected they were scams and we have leaked internal communications where Facebook employees talked about them being scams.

Those leaked communications also say that they made sure to let the scams go so that they could keep getting money from them. All told 16 billion dollars.

At that point you're just plain complicit in the scam and you're committing a crime. It isn't legal to allow criminals to make use of your business when you know they are criminals. There's a wide variety of laws governing that that were put in place back in the days of the mob.

Then all the other theft combined. Look it up. Corporations steal more from you than any Petty criminal ever has or ever will.

They knew how to spot the scammers and kept taking their money. 16 billion worth

Off of the most scammiest of scam advertisements on their site. I don't mean all the other ones that are probably scams but the ones that are so obviously scams that they had been flagged hundreds of times as scams.

Some internal documents leaked where Facebook employees were talking about how they needed the extra cash to fund all the stupid AI bullshit they were doing.

The government should obviously be stepping in and investigating and regulating. It's one thing to get duped into running a scam ad it's another thing to know that you're running 16 billion dollars worth of the worst and most obvious criminals advertisements.

But fuck me laws don't matter anymore. Keep an eye on your grandparents people or your parents if your old like me. It's open season on them.

Diligence my ass. They won't do that because means testing helps dismantle programs and because they get off on hungry children.

I mean, if those 14 year old girls aren't poor and hungry then they're not going to be as impressed when a republican picks them Up in their beat up Camaro and they're not going to put out.

You're going to do a 60 minute commute one way and you're just now noticing the bridge you're stuck under is crumbling because we haven't built infrastructure in 30 years.

It's almost as if giving all of our money to the rich because we were busy being distracted by moral panics was a bad idea.

The funny thing is when I say moral panic everybody agrees with me but if I mention the specific moral panics that caused you to give all your money to the rich then everybody gets upset.

Part of me wonders if Disney is still somehow nervous about the old deals forbidding toy deals around Spaceballs.

As far as I know they no longer apply and Disney can do whatever they want but when it comes to weird edge cases companies can get weird.

"Roblox is a shit hole of creeps and wannabe child rapists. My teen has been on it for years"

Awesome self own there

The method we use to calculate unemployment stats was explicitly designed to hide the real unemployment.

Unemployment is going to be closer to about 8 and 1/2 to 10%. That's the underemployed and people who gave up on looking.

It also doesn't include people who don't are elderly and would be working if they could get jobs but who are basically unemployable and a doctor wrote a disability script for them so they could get enough benefits to not die in the streets. That's a dirty little secret of our economy we don't like to think about let alone talk about.

But a better statistic is 2 and 5. That's the number of quality jobs. There are two quality jobs, defined is a job that can support a adult and isn't paycheck the paycheck, for every five Americans. Basically the majority of jobs cannot support an adult.

We are rapidly becoming a failed state. A third world country if you will. It's why we keep doing stupid crap like electing a game show host with a history of sexual abuse. People under a lot of pressure don't make good decisions. That's a TV trope but the real world that's not how it works

No you didn't.
