MachineFab812,

I was rooting for this therapy, but not at the expense of exposing vulnerable people to all the hokum that Lykos was apparently trying to spike it with. FDA made the right call for now.

MachineFab812,

Can, or WILL? The fact they will do it until called on it in court doesn’t mean that they were ever legally allowed to. Fuck the Terms and Conditions.

MachineFab812,

… and I’ve been told I’m demanding and entitled, but here’s some jackass who downvoted one(@ryannathans) who is doing the work. You or I can never do enough to be worthy to request certain features or bug-fixes be given higher priority.

These people need to go back to Spez’s, Musk’s, or Zuck’s playground, since they love having no say so much.

does anyone know any states that are cheaper to live in? we can't handle Illinois pricing any more

I’ve lived here for years and years and I’m sure you’ve all seen rent and food prices going up, now sure, that’s a country wide thing but Illinois has one of the highest tax rates in the country. Me and my girlfriend are just trying to get our lives together and even while working a stable, okay paying job were...

MachineFab812,

Illinois is literally surrounded by cheaper states. Louisville, KY, St. Louis, MO, Evansville, IN are urban areas nearby that regularly make national “Best Cost Of Living vs Quality of Life” lists

Air conditioners are already heat-pumps. This change would moreso replace furnaces.

As usual when a comment like yours comes up, the feature already exists. In this case, its available only to instance admins.

A better suggestion would be to setup one’s own instance, but that’s not dismissive enough, it seems.

You could apply that 1% chance of a gruesome death to every single day the rest of forever(my life, anyways); I’m still pushing the button.

Honestly, it’ll be easier to hold Biden accountable for this bullshit by keeping him in office. Can’t say that for the other guy, so why would we vote for that?

Stop assuming critcism of Biden equates to an endorsement of Trump. Its gross.

[7/10 voters... want to see third-party/independent candidates in presidential debate this cycle] 71 percent in poll want RFK Jr., third parties in debate [Julia Mueller | 05/20/24 | The Hill] (thehill.com)

Seven in 10 voters in a new poll want to see third-party and independent candidates in presidential debates this cycle, as President Biden and former President Trump prepare to go head-to-head....

Imagine thinking other drivers won’t cut you off for attempting safe follow distance. The masses move in bumper-to-bumper pods and the only way to achieve safe following distance is to get out ahead of them, or luck into being already at the head of one of their pods.

Also, imagine thinking the only way to get and stay in front of these schmucks is to speed wrecklessly. I can pace a car in my rear-view and keep them at a safe distance even if they would rather not be. Control what you can control, or embrace the un-safe standard drone behavior, but if you evangelize the latter, you’re going to get well-deserved pushback, and likely mocked.

Main reasons historically were for work or hunting … maaayybe to make sure you don’t leave the gun somewhere or forget you have it while transporting it.

Congratulations on a take just about perfectly as shitty as most of the replies you’ve got so far. Just. Wow.

MachineFab812,

Old cowboy days often involved checking your weapon into lockup at the edge of town…

MachineFab812,

Tbf, being told by a stranger that they are upping their dosage un-prompted is itself some totally incomprehensible bullshit. Too many of the people that do this will actually accept any response that isn’t a direct attack on or distraction from their personal narrative.

“Over 18”

… my first thought when I read “never dated a woman” was “yeah, because these are mostly the basic requirements for an adult women. Sicko obviously likes them young”

MachineFab812,

OP isn’t gay, is what you’re being told, and I agree. OP screams more “pedo” to me than anything else.

Deadnaming Corporations-In-General: chef’s kiss

MachineFab812,

Dude on a tow-boat I was on recently would mix them in a bowl and just eat that, with a spoon. Based on the aftermath I had to wash though, he was a lot less thorough than this.

What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us.

MachineFab812,

They weren’t faulting the men. They were saying society itself has largely disengaged from young men.

MachineFab812,

First thought: I’m at my most gullible when about to fall asleep. Second thought: wait, is this why I pray then?

Nah. I long ago stopped praying for anything I don’t mean to do myself. Wait…

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/f01a4e9a-35be-4219-a3a9-bf0012dc52e7.jpegTF did I just read? Yes, getting a “no strings attached” ID as an undocumented person or illegal alien is a pain-in-the-ass, but the problem there isn’t any state refusing to document them, its that they don’t want to interact with a given state for fear of being deported, and/or they do NOT WANT to be documented for whatever reason.

Its not their government refusing to issue ID. That’s generally not a thing outside of Alabama (because they closed the places that issue IDs) … and that’s not a “big government” problem, but a state refusing to follow federal law and court orders. Give those last two some MORE teeth and watch what happens.

MachineFab812,

I’m not sure how they track illegal aliens that they’ve opted not to export just yet, but by definition, once they are in the system by way of intentional interaction with the government, they are “documented”. Becomming identified/identifiable is far from impossible; Its an inconvenient pain though.

All it takes to get a library card is a piece of mail. For that mail, an address. Homeless shelters(among others, but here its free of charge) provide address/mail services(of a sort, and by request). Library card + piece of mail plus some sort of birth certificate(think a foreign one will do) will get you a State ID, generally issued at the DMV/BMV, but you don’t have to pass a driving exam for an ID.

Getting ID alone is not the problem. The problem is all the baggage it un-packs into a mess on the floor. IMHO, someone who takes the initiative to literally tell the government who they are and where they live should be allowed to work, rent an apartment, recieve healthcare, and otherwise be left alone unless they need help or commit a crime … hell, make them citizens after x years “above board” … but that’s not the state we live in.

“Work Permit”/“Visa”/whatever, should come with some guarantees/privileges/obligations(for any party bring an immigrant/potential in), like, thanks for letting us know you’re coming, here’s your job, some necessities/food and a place to stay until you can afford better. Whenever we hit the point that NOT having those things meant illegal/criminal is one of the tipping points where the US became less free. I don’t care what an idividual has done, that damage to our Liberty and the promise of “The American Dream” was worse, no matter your criteria.

Immigmants bring prosperity and good will. Always have and still do(todays immigrants, especially the illegal ones, are more law-abiding than any before), regardless of legal status. There is no reason to treat them as our government does today.

MachineFab812,

I am absolutely not talking about “free stuff”. They have to prove they have a job lined-up to get a work Visa; Proof they also have housing lined up and the ability to buy groceries should also be a part of that, and on the employer. It’s the would-be employer who is claiming to “need” them, after all.

I agree citizenship should be guaranteed after a set period of time, but I’ll settle for them not breaking the law during that time. There are plenty of legal ways to support onesself and not “be a burden to society” outside of normal employment.

The path to citizenship for people already here should be more straight-forward/much the same as well. I would argue that its harder to sneak into this country than to enter it legally. Seems to me that those people want it more, and have demonstrated they are willing to endure hardship to get here. “Free stuff” for them? Not available legally already, but they shouldn’t be criminalized just for being here and needing food and/or a place to stay. No one chooses to stay in a shelter “to scam the system”.

MachineFab812,

Forcing companies to feed and house the labor they import is nothing like giving anyone “free stuff”.
