Every time someone says this, they should get the opportunity to become more resistant to public flogging

I think we have a fundamental disagreement with the way society should be. I want to protect people from predatory companies and won't elevate the individual rights of people to gamble over the welfare of all.

In this house we believe snitches get stitches and talkers get walkers(universal health care)

I wonder how much of this stuff is really useful, or is meant to portray them as scrappy underdogs in need of aid.

My old internet provider had a function on their website that would do something to fix your Internet connection from their end. I lost internet one day and went to use it, but they replaced the mobile version of their website with a page telling me to download the app. Fine, I'll download the app, which is clearly just a wrapper for the website. But for some reason you can't access that function through the app.

You can be a monopoly without being an illegal monopoly. Monopoly is when one company has an outsized market share, an illegal monopoly is when they use that market share to stifle competition.

Tho, I suppose towns back then just had a general "don't ride your horse recklessly in town" laws, regardless of your intoxication level.

Yeah, when I was searching I found an article from 1901 where a guy was arrested after being drunk and riding a horse dangerously. He was charged with disorderly conduct and something like reckless riding(I don't remember the exact wording).

Holy shit, that's dark. I'm sorry

None of the staff at my local hospital wears masks anymore. Haven't seen a single staff member wearing a mask in several recent visits.

We're in a rural area with low COVID numbers, but it's still incredibly frustrating having my doctor look at me as if I'm weird for wearing a mask.

It was renamed after Judge Rotenberg who wrote a decision allowing it to stay open and continue shocking in the 1980's or 90's. This was despite plenty of evidence presented that it was frequently being used in violation of the centers own parameters for the "treatment". Low level staff had the unilateral power to administer shocks. Shocks were being administered for things like defecating in their diapers and refusing to eat.

Fuck Judge Rotenberg and the whole Massachusetts supreme court for allowing this to continue yet again.

Me, on my deathbed:

"My only regret is that I didn't spend more time online"
