This place is full of straight up brainwashed communists. I guess the whole free and decentralized thing kind of lends itself towards that crowd, but these people are fucking insane.

Ok I’m not even from the states, but you should be able to get to Washington DC in less than a day from North Carolina. Hell, anywhere on the east coast is within 5 hours from a huge metropolitan centre

I’d say it’s pretty handy if you don’t have an ejector pin on you. Don’t have to take the phone out of the case either

A business chose not to do business with us as an entire country because our government legislated them out of the market. It’s absolutely fucking hilarious when the same government makes idle threats towards the same business because they aren’t providing the same service they provided before the government made it clear that they would tax every post and regulate the internet by enforcing taxes on hyperlinks.

Our government has made the sharing of information a taxable manoeuvre. No fucking wonder referenced megacorp said “I’m just not gonna.”

This place is a commie echo chamber even more deranged than Reddit was. Good luck expressing any sort of dissenting opinion.

Spoken like a true Liberal.

If it weren’t for the government dicking with the internet, the social media aggregators wouldn’t have given up linking to news articles.

Now you just expect them to “play ball” or else.

You can load multiple esims and choose which one you want to use for calls/data/text just like a physical SIM card

What did they say like 76 percent of the population has had one strain or another of covid?

Even if masks are totally effective, all you’re going to effectively do is delay the inevitable. You will catch this; it’s only a matter of time. I choose to get it over with.

What do you do for a living? For many, wearing a mask while working is a recipe for guaranteed heat exhaustion. I’m not subjecting myself to that, and if the illness is anything at all like the last time I had it, it was a goddamn cold.

Wearing a mask in a hospital full of people with compromised health and all sorts of contagions floating around is a really good idea.

Wearing a mask outdoors in the summer time on a construction site full of other able-bodied people is just fucking silly.

Id rather be sick for a week than wear a mask doing physical labour.

I just find that screwdriver to be the most pretentiously bad product. Still a product that’s half as good as something from Klein or wiha, or Milwaukee, or Greenlee, for three times the price. He put all that money into a designing a cheap but overpriced Chinese piece of junk, when there are already great screwdrivers used by professionals for years and years. Linus was so arrogant he didn’t even think that somebody’s already made a superior product with established tooling. But no, he has to reinvent the wheel and design a screwdriver nobody’s asked for

Normally, I’d agree with you, but in a matter of life or death, like baking in a hot car, the means of exit should be obvious for anyone, including children and the elderly. Just like in public buildings with proper exit signage, there should be no questioning how to get the fuck out in an emergency.

So imagine for a moment that this is a child and not a senior. You gonna scream at little Timmy for not RTFM?

Car doors have been pretty standard and self explanatory for 100 years, until now. There was no good reason to make such a huge design change for the sake of looking cool, especially when the override is hidden behind a piece of trim.

The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.

Fuck the service industry as a whole

God forbid somebody drives a pickup truck. There’s never ever a necessity to haul anything weighing over 500kg or to ever pull a large trailer. It’s safe to assume anybody driving one of these big scary machines is a sadist with a micropenis and a threat to society.

Do you realize that whoever grew the food you ate today likely owns and utilizes a pickup truck? Do you realize that your convenient city life would be impossible without rural people transporting goods to your little concrete paradise?
