I bought breakfast for a couple homeless dudes. Gave it to them. No “thanks” for my effort. They grumpily asked me why I didn’t get them coffee, too. Pissed me off as I wasn’t exactly making a lot of money at the time and the purchase wasn’t cheap. Sometimes people are assholes. That’s all there is to it. Plenty of homeless I’ve given a buck and they said “Thanks.” At a previous job a coworker would take packaged foods that were going to be discarded and give them to homeless at the end of the day. Some didn’t want the food and wanted money, others were happy to have it. IMO they do prefer cash so they can buy what they want or need, and don’t have to worry about whether someone put anything bad in the food or if it’s spoiled. I think it’s justifiably surprising if someone says they’re hungry and yet reject your food offering and demand money instead.

All is terrible. Front Page should be your subscribed content, no? At least it was that way on old.reddit with RES.

I had to go look it up.

It’s for real.

“Family-oriented programming”

So Lifetime/Hallmark content with Jesus shilling for a chicken restaurant.

I love tech “help” that basically suggests you nuke everything you’re trying to save.

I got an unimpressive, repetitive description of the photo I tested. While it was detailed and accurate, there was nothing revealing about it.

Hopefully we’ll get some good souls who figure out how to block Fox into the background while you still get Trump Social Media Credits™️ for watching while doing other things.

Ford was a messed up dude. He’s really idolized as an industrialist, but he was a control freak with possible other psych issues. Undermined his son, Edsel at many opportunities because he was a control freak. On top of his anti-semitic, pro-NAZI, anti-union antics.

Looks unfinished or maybe something you could tarp over when in use. Pretty barebones.

Unfortunately people don’t often know about their own potential for negative outcomes when they experiment with a new drug. Plenty of people with undiagnosed mental health problems out there.

It’s getting a lot of miles. I wonder why they gave the “trickle” character a dick chin.

It’s rock music. It’s “reefer madness”. Then it’s metal music with satanic messaging when played backwards. Now it’s video games. Same old blame game while never tackling the actual problems of lack of psych care, real societal pressures like financial difficulties, and more.

It’s likely more than half of adults in the US play video games. About 40% of those play some kind of shooter. There are 258 million adults in the US. That’s ~129 million gamers, and ~51 million “shooters”.

Out of 51 million, they think they can link one to a game and condemn the genre?

Whatever. Try again. The only people that think so are the pearl-clutchers and the press.

I think after 45-50 getting “wasted” happens naturally.

So many internet arguments revolve around binary choices that don’t need to be binary or appeals to authority or hypocrisy as the only leg they stand on.

Someone might knit them a legal team.

If they’re going to break the rule about washing hands they’re not going to follow the door handle one either.

Ok… but then we are beholden to where they choose to dispense their largesse. Great, the billionaires have a few pet projects they direct their philanthropy to, and it does help those recipients specifically.

But how about the lifetime earnings of the employees who saw their benefits packages shrink, their medical copays and premiums climb? Maybe that was enough to force their kids into crippling college loans instead of the parents having enough extra to help wirh 529s or just smaller more manageable loans? How about the customers who got inferior products or services that support, returns, or exchanges were obfuscated by deliberately ineffective phone menus or website resources that were designed to make people give up instead of receiving what they deserve? How about the billonaire’s pursuit of anti-tax laws to further line their pockets at the expense of government services? All of these things happen directly by command of the wealthy or by those riding on the coattails of those decisions as major investors or board of directors. All of them in service to the bottom line, and that bottom line is increased at your and my expense.

They may be good people. But you do not become a billionaire with clean hands.

Yep. Those billions are made on the backs of suppressed wages and benefits, more employee productivity with less flexibility, enshittification, etc. It’s “earned” by squeezing it out of others.
