So do most medical interventions.

Hello from kbin. It’s nice over here.

Most people consider conversations ended if neither party adds anything for a space of time.

A reasonable space of time is definitely overnight.

Rob’s is assuming he 1) sees everything, 2).didn’t or can’t miss anything important, and 3) that his interpretation is correct.

That’s why it’s arrogant and stupid and people get annoyed.

Seriously, have you never been upset or hurt and had someone try to tell you that you’re not?

Anecdotal. 1.2 trillion in infrastructure spending barely touches the overall need. If that were all used to fix what is breaking, it would just do that. But then it wouldn’t cover new projects, projects in planning stages since they like to fund “shovel ready,” and it doesn’t touch the shit show that is private utilities.

It’s a start, but we’ve got decades of catching up to do. Also consider that your 1.2 trillion figure is a multi-year cost.

We have backlogged projects, let alone maintenance on existing infrastructure, not even getting to the costs of upgrading ancient infrastructure - a lot of municipalities still use clay pipes.

Right now deferred maintenance is roughly a trillion dollars.

It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.

Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?

Please stop. Tap your breaks if you’re signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.

Very unlikely. There’s a statement at the bottom that explains what the fee is. There’s a QR code at the top for more information, which OP cut off.

I doubt they went through the effort of updating their POS system, providing links to info on the receipt, and chose not to post a sign or put a note on the menu. Everywhere I have been with a service fee like this posts it, which would negate any legal issue.

Caveat emptor.

It’s literally what’s happening.

Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn’t do it criminally.

The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.

They have access to information they’re barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.

Again, what good would this do if you are in a war torn country that cannot secure its elections?

So they amend their constitution. During a war. To force people into the streets to vote.

How does the government make sure the election is fair? Some people won’t be able to vote due to danger. Some will be attacked. Some areas are occupied, and the occupation lines may change during the election.

If they tried to run an election now, Russia would publish their own results showing that the occupied areas voted for Putin. Trying to run elections is hard enough in normal times, doing so with Russia literally holding a large swath of your country is impossible.

This. Pretty much every company that does business with the US or a US state has clauses in their contract about “boycotting” Israel, poorly defined on purpose.

Propaganda, nationalism, and fear of what regressive shitheads will do if you vocalize any opposition

Jail or the front lines.

Almost across the board, new technology is used to spread two things: religious dogma and porn.

And the farmer’s almanac, but mostly the Bible and porn.

Not just their business practices, but also just the oculus purchase.

I already had an oculus. I was told (via press release) that I wouldn’t have any issues with not having a Facebook account…only for them to turn around a little while later and require a Facebook login.

This describes what I want - being able to have relatively blank walls/spaces that light up and fill up with content when you’re wearing the headset.

This seems to mean they blame the government for lack of “security” before the attack, which could mean they just want more apartheid.

And “must resign after the war” is way different than “must resign.” Any leader, but especially an authoritarian, would read this and say “Guess I should never end the war, then.”
