I read it the article, but why did the government pass something like that? They had to realize that there would be substantial pushback. And what’s with all of the violence? 110 deaths is absolutely insane.

What’s going on in Bangladesh? First I’ve heard of anything going on.

I’m not going to say they’re not real or not sentient. But I will absolutely say that they are selfish. They lack the empathy required to understand how things will affect others. They lack the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. They lack the humility required to understand that they could be wrong, and the critical reasoning required to change their views in the face of new evidence.

Almost every conservative I’ve ever met is either extremely rich or lives in microcosm. Hell, I’ve got extended family that have never travelled outside of their hometown and anything foreign or different to them is either ridiculed or shunned.

They want a social hierarchy, and they want their place in it preserved. God forbid people get equitable standing.

They can be used on each of the following carrier’s: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon (except for prepaid plans and Number Share), Ting, Mint, US Mobile.

So, I’m not sure what you mean by providers who give “free upgrades”…

It’s cheaper than most smart phones and does everything you need it to do without games and social media.

A Light Phone or Light phone 2 is capable of doing literally everything you need from a smart phone without the bloat and distraction. It’s legitimate with most service providers as well.

There’s viable options out there that aren’t “flip phones”.

I believe you can actually get a refund for the remaining time if you cancel it now.

Hey! Would you be willing to sell some of them? Looking at setting up a server at home that some of my friends and neighbors can use. I was going to buy them brand new, but I’d be fine with used if your interested in getting rid of some of them.

“some” hacker.

Totally not involved with the government at all.

Totally not tipped off about how to access it and where to put it.

Totally just some random hacker that managed to make off with all of that government money. Oh well, we tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.

Apologies citizens, your money is truly gone.

…and they make SOOO much money because of it. Companies are buying into it to push their results higher using SEO words and phrases to help.

White rook in top right, takes black rook in top left. No checkmate.

Highly dependent on your industry and location. There’s a lot of people still on actual minimum wage. And it sucks…

Crime stats depend on people reporting crimes. Something that is actively discouraged in blue states.

Alright, starting your argument with conservative hearsay, something that’s not even remotely true. Bold choice.

California has the 5th highest infant mortality rate in th country.

Cool. My argument still stands that on AVERAGE red states perform worse on just about every metric. So, not sure what you’re trying to argue for.

Not everyone needs to pay a few years wages to a paper mill for a diploma they’ll never use in their trade.

Alright. Something that we can agree with. However it is interesting to note that states with higher degree counts have higher average salaries, so a degree isn’t a bad thing depending on what it’s in.

California, Texas, New York and Florida have the four largest economies in the US. This hardly follows party lines.

Of the top 10 states based on GDP, 7 are Democrat-controlled. It’s also worth noting that Democrat-controlled counties make up 70% of the total GDP in the entire US. It absolutely follows party lines a lot more than you think.

The irony of calling out a failed liberal city when nearly every conservative state on average ranks lower than pretty much every liberal state in nearly every demographic that matters: education, life expectancy, salary, economy, healthcare, infant mortality, and crime rates.

Yeah, Democrats are totes the problem. Gotcha lol.

I’d be very interested to see how many of them ate paint chips as a kid, or were exposed to lead in their drinking water.

A third of our country should be this ridiculously knuckleheaded, but here we are.

Isn’t there a way we can just inject the UV into our veins?

AI is whatever tech companies say it is. They aren’t saying it for the people, like you, that knows it’s horseshit. They are saying it for the investors, politicians, and ignorant folks. They are essentially saying that “AI” (cue jazz hands and glitter) can fix all of their problems, so don’t stop investing in us.

Would it be okay if I traced every bit of public data about you, including your name, address, cellphone, familial information, work history, and online social media history etc, put it into a nice little package and put it online? I mean, I’d only be doxxing you with publicly available information that was easily linked from your profile. Would it be okay if I go the next step and gather your DNA from a publicly available location? All I need is a quick strand of hair.

I mean it’s public. Anyone can find this information with a little effort…or do you feel have some sort of right to privacy? I understand not wanting any of this information broadcast to the public…but it is public information.

That “Eat the Rich” slogan is going places.

The absolute dumbest of takes.

All anyone has to do is say, “…it’s for the children,” and you just line up, ready to sign away your rights and privacy.

Hmm…fine…I’ll put my pitchfork down.

Still though. Most of my point still stands. Something is going to give. The next 10 years are going to be interesting.
