the parental control thing is a thin smokescreen. Its about control.

The reality is our OSs and the websites we visit know exactly who we are. They know our blood type, they know if you are pregnant before you do. Why would they need your ID?

Colorado also has a bill and there is one in the works at the federal level. But yes, its bullshit.

Let’s break this down and look at it a different way.

If my hobby were shooting guns and I were to set up a shooting range in my garage and I killed a neighbor, am I responsible?

If my hobby were fireworks and I was making them in my kitchen and burned down my apartment building killing 3 people, am I to blame?

The driver is engaging in a dangerous hobby in a reckless manner. We all know racing is dangerous because people die even in controlled conditions. We know he is being reckless because he is not racing in a place designed for it. When you put others in harms way based on your own stupidity, you face consequences.

I’ve been given some equipment that recorded my breathing and heartrate (little tubes near my mouth and nose, chest strap). just check em out and return them the next day.

I’m in a similar boat. Over an hour commute, younger kids with afterschool activities 4 days a week. A wife has a full-time job, luckily, she finally finished her master’ so we reclaimed Saturdays and I’m not running the taxi service solo.

My favorite take on the subject Internet Comment Etiquette: “The Mandela Effect”

gotcha. What about assets? Im not an accounting person, but we routinely buy tooling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Raw materials have costs/value associated with them. How would that figure in?

Face to fist style.

I’m spoiled here in CA, we got some really legit spots. Did the birra craze hit the east coast too?

try looking up “squirrel cage fan”

it sounds like I’m joking but it is really what they are called.

if you look to Chipotle for this “burrito culture” you talk of you are already lost.

I like an avocado sandwich with garlic salt. super tasty.

I’m sorry, but it really bugs me that the small domino is a fucking war. While the big domino is depicted here as the AI bubble bursting.

At a minimum, it’s a * poor use of the meme *, but really the priorities are just way out of whack.

Also more protein in wheat compared to rice. Actually a lot more nutrients in wheat compared to rice.

Beef barley soup is delicious

So don’t attack the pawns, recruit them.

There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.
