Damn you meme, making me learn a new word.
Canadian checking in.
Biggest oddity to me is that the default for restaurants is one bill, and waiters get annoyed if you ask them to split it by person.
Like why would I want to either:
- do math correctly splitting the bill while trying to leave; or
- be worried I ordered something more expensive than the average and unfairly make others cover it?
It's complete insanity to me.
Finally, it's Gentoo's time to shine!
Sunny with a zero percent chance of an original joke.
I can't force anyone to uncensor a post, but I can be annoying in the comments if they don't.
Fuck, now I have to say fuck ten time to balance out the five censored fucks in this fucking post. Fuck this fucking noise, you're allowed to say fuck on the fucking internet for fuck's sake. Fuck.
I know it's a joke, but why would a shapeshifter 350 years into the future on a planet 50 lightyears away be guilty of any of the same prejudices that our local cops are?
Yes we should allow them, because the problem isn't that this tool is available. The problem is that cars and other devices aren't more secure.
If you broke into a bank vault with a screwdriver, you don't ban screwdrivers; you get mad at the bank.
Will smith what? Armor? Jewelry? I'm dying of curiosity here.

Landlords do provide services: property maintenance and not having to worry about selling the place when you leave. Are landlords paid way too much for these services? Hell yes. That's more an issue of inadequate supply though, in my opinion.
Similarly, ticket scalpers provide a service, but not to concert goers. Scalpers absorb risk on behalf of the venue/performer. That's why venues, who could absolutely shut down scalpers, don't. Still scummy as hell, but don't absolve the venue of guilt too.
