That's great if you already have a friend network ... being able to walk to the bar on the corner isn't the same as flying your flying car 100 miles from some bumblefuck turdhole.

Everyone living in stinking bumblefuck sounds lonely as all fuck ... I want to interact with strangers at random. The spice of life, being outside of existing friend and family bubbles. But, I get it ... Americans are asocials, generally speaking.

Diseases and dead people, for one. Belonging to a different tribe/culture/race (it's actually one of the reasons for ritual scars, later tattoos and haircuts, specific clothing, uniforms and so on).

Exactly. Home Assistant makes it easy to unify several brands under the same hood.

Assuming he doesn't stroke out first and end up drooling a lot.

Good, can we exile Muck, LeCunt, Scam Altman, and the rest of the AI bros to space along with their data centers?

Or at least do what the EU is doing and regulate it to Hell and back. Clankers out! Carbon power!

I keep cash around to support the gray/privacy economy ... I empathize with undocumented people and fugitives, so I'm doing my part to preserve an anonymous payment system that will allow them to continue to exist in society.

I just generally pay cash, both for the order and for the tip. When I use a CC for the order and tip in cash, I put $0.01 on the POS as a tip, so they can claim to have been stiffed. What tip? Know what I mean?

The point is to starve the military scum long term, so the motherfuckers don't have as much money to acquire new weapons and protective equipment for soldiers (war should be dangerous to those fighting it).

"Digital service" implies boring public service. "Force" implies militaristic violence. It's all about recruiting the right/wrong kind of morally flexible people who want to be "heroes."

Indictments would be better. If you can't go after the VERY top, go after their family and associates. Get parasites like the Kushners tied up in lawsuits and criminal charges for years.

Where companies will do anything to avoid having to pay taxes for good public transit (trains! joyful trains!).

I'm not interested in your advice, your gaslighting, or your worries. Injustice makes me emotional. This is a good and healthy thing. Unfortunately, I can't block people on here, but please don't ever respond to me again. End of conversation.

I agree that Rockefeller should fry in Hades and that his name should be erased.

This being said:
(1) The penalty for possession of small amounts of weed was liberalized to a $100 fine in the late 1970s, likely when you were a toddler.

(2) Under Bloomberg, the NYPD was in the habit of arresting people for possession of small amounts citing "public display", which was a misdemeanor, so didn't affect voting rights.

Pig: turn out your pockets
Joint falls on ground.
Pig: Oink! Oink! It's on public display now.

Most of those cases were dropped in court in any case, judges knew the game.
