One of which is fraud. So yeah, this argument holds no water. The only reason this shit is allowed is money. There's money to be made by allowing it. And money to be lost in preventing it. The end.

Congratulations for latching on to one of the last acceptable groups to be bigoted against. You should feel good about yourself.

You absolutely cannot rent the truck at Home Depot for $20/day. It's $20 for the first 75 minutes. Then you gotta pay for gas.

No, you're getting down voted by people for saying "It's hype" while at the same time tacitly acknowledging that you haven't even played it.

Stop copying Reddit, if you wanna not be Reddit.

The breaking of traffic laws IS criminal. I live in Houston, which has by far the craziest drivers I've seen in the US, and every day I wish there was more effort by the police to do something about it.

If you've seen "Cocktail", they're flugelbinders.

I agree with this in principle, in the sense that it's frustrating that people who complain endlessly about the stimulus checks seem to think the PPP loans were a necessity, and that's rank hypocrisy. But the phrasing of this statement is bullshit. The PPP loans totaled a little under $800 billion, while the stimulus checks totaled a little over $800 billion. So it was a lot more than "a few $600 checks".

Then you're never going back. It's absurd to think that Reddit should just let 3rd Party apps have access to its API for free indefinitely. You wanna argue that the price should be sensible? Fine. You wanna argue that the way Reddit has rolled this out is reprehensible? Fine. But to argue that they HAVE to keep giving it away for free? Forever? That's just a ridiculous thing to expect.
