Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
The point is that the $2500 fridge was the "budget option" of its time. That was the "no frills", basic refrigeration box. If you wanted more, the price only went up from there.
They also took it upon themselves to near single handedly end slavery across the globe, running down and freeing slave ships, prosecuting slavers, and 'convincing' nations to abandon the trade for no reason other than a moral objection to the practice. History isn't purely black and white.
Do you think the French have an allotment of paid time off specifically to set things on fire? "Yeah boss I'm gonna be away for two weeks, I gotta park my tractor in Paris," "sure thing just remember to set your auto-reply"?How about India? Hong Kong? Sri Lanka? Your premise is these people aren't risking anything by protesting? They don't have bills and jobs they need to maintain?
No you don't. If you did, he'd be gone. If you did, he wouldn't be there in the first place. You won't even occupy the streets more than one day every six months. You "want him gone" the same way I want to date Florence Pugh - not putting any effort into it whatsoever, waiting for it to be handed to you.Moreover, you have to contend with the fact that two thirds of your countrymen either DO want him there, or don't give a shit. You are the minority, and you have to start acting like it.
Yes, but that "500" fridge today would have been the "2500" fridge of yesterday, is what I'm saying. There was no $500 equivalent; if you wanted a fridge, you were paying $2500, and it may well only last a year because you're still buying the cheapest fridge available, made with the cheapest parts.Things made "back then" didn't last longer by default. We're biased because we're only exposed to the ones that *did* last until now. We might see one fridge out of twenty that were sold in 1975.
If you fuck with the cameras, they're going to hit you with everything they can, up to and including terrorism. May as well go for gold.
But it wouldn't just be 2x. These were luxury appliances at a time when a basic model refrigerator cost the equivalent of a few thousand dollars today. You'd be spending more like 10x for one with all the bells and whistles.As for reliability, I'll remind everyone of survivorship bias. Today we only see the appliances that survived. We don't see all the ones that failed, and were dumped in landfills with their toxic refrigerants.
#13 We traded the honesty of gunnery for a coward's knife. We gained the ability to eliminate our enemies without ever having to see them - that we might do so without risking looking into their eyes.
There's a difference between "subject to federal regulations" and "federally regulated". The government has much more control over airline operations - probably enough to convince a gang of idiots that they ought to be covered by the first amendment, regardless of whether or not that's true. Reality doesn't matter here.
Yeah, but the gofundme's won't make that distinction.
Airlines are federally regulated, and I'm sure the entire point is to invite some sort of conflict so they can cry about OPpReShun and FiRst AMeNDmentS. Just another grift, just like Jesus taught.
No AI, thank you.

oh fuck I forgot only 14 year olds are allowed to criticize religion
Because we haven't been policing it. We haven't been setting things on fire when they try to do things like cut education spending, or market social media to toddlers. Stupid people prop up stupid heroes.
> how we can improve the community Surprise, that's politics.
I didn't say anything about immigrants. The guy was born in Germany. But this particular brand of hate isn't coming from "within" Germany. Now, if he were named Klaus and was loading the gays onto trains, that's a different conversation. But culturally, Germans have (mostly) moved past that. Others haven't.
ah fuck, ah jeez, I must have joined another hate group masquerading as religion when I was asleep. I hate when that happens. Sorry about that.
>Abdul>GermanyYeah bruv. From within.
Correct. Math is red because it's aggressive and makes me angry.
I drank Pepsi like water all my life, and I had to stop not because of any health concerns but because I was simply priced out. They want $3 for a 2L (~64oz) bottle now. A case of 12 cans is nearly $10. Whatever, I guess. If it works for Marlboro, I'm sure it'll work for Pepsi; just keep squeezing the ones who will still pay.
Force has always been the main deterrent. We're where we are explicitly because people laid down their metaphorical and literal arms, and decided everything could be solved with polite debate. As you're seeing, laws are only as effective as their enforcement. This is all the culmination of 80 years of 'playing nice' and letting things slide.
Huh. Never mind, I guess I may be the outlier here. I ... never would have guessed "don't call yourself a doctor if you're not a doctor" would be such an uncommon law.
Where I'm from, there are regulations around the title. Someone can't pass themselves off as a medical doctor unless they are, in fact, a medical doctor. I imagine other places have similar, but people have to report it when they see it.
#21 There's no classism involved in judging people on their grammar, on an app, on a smartphone. They are holding a wealth of knowledge that makes the Library at Alexandria look like a kindergartener's book shelf in the palm of their hand. The knowledge is there. They need but reach out and grab it. If they can't be bothered to do that much... Eh.
I hate to shill, but I use a Pixel because they have features like "hold for me"; listens to hold music and rings when someone answers. Can also screen calls with an automated voice that asks why they're calling, and writes to the screen so you can decide whether to answer.I don't even like saying "hello" to spam calls, because I'm sure some of them are capturing samples for AI bullshit; it's gonna call my grandmother and go "grandma it's me I'm being held for ransom in Peru" or some shit.
