Here's my half baked response.
They can pipeline oil over thousands of miles.
Why can't they pipeline water?
Oh shit. I think Nestlé heard me and all of our money goes to blowing up Palestinians, not giving drinkable water to Flint.
Disregard please.
I know I bought Elite Dangerous Horizons on steam for like 80 bucks and played it for a while, and now no matter what I do, I cant get access to the game. I get bungled in third party account sign ins.
Sounds like the genera is cursed. There is promise, but the developers just leech money and obstruct access to the game.
But dude, Star Citizen ships are the NFTs of tomorrow!
Think of the fat stacks you're gonna get when the game drops, the plebs cant buy the pre-order ships and you take them to resale!
How long before Wendy's is a lunch time stock market?
But rest assured, capitalism is the only successful model and every instance of socialism has failed in human history. /s
Precisely.
They promised complete privacy hedges when they announced the park.
They put in 7 immature trees along a half mile of fenceline.
Neighbors have been calling cops non stop about the illegal activity at night. They showed up once to harass the neighbors and ignore the people in the park.
It's all been a big ol fuck you to the homeowners.
Edit: And for the record, I'm not even a homeowner.
I can't afford a home to own.
My neighbors all own.
I rent.
So I'm cut off at the knees when it comes to actually approaching the city.
Oh believe me, my neighbors and I REALLY want to.
The guy feeding his family can feed his family with a rake.
I literally just emailed my local parks and rec because they built a park immediately behind my once peaceful house.
I begged them to stop leaf blowing every single day. There arent even any trees. They are just out there every day blowing the grass. Usually before 7am.
The response I got was basically "sit and spin. If you don't like it, call the cops, but they are city too so they won't do anything."
My memory is I checked with no intention to actually file, first job lost and all, and Arizona + part time = no unemployment.
Gotta be over 40 a week to qualify.
My first breaking point was the millionth time I was in the printer aisle before open on a Saturday with a manager laying into me for a half hour about how to "squeeze the last of the juice" out of people, and they dropped the "tell them you are an un-comissioned salesperson so you have no reason to take advantage of them, it disarms them, makes them trust you, you can load anything into their cart after you make them believe that" and I had a moment of clarity, and instead of going "Uh huh. Yes sir" I thought "No. I am an un-comissioned salesperson so I have no reason to take advantage of them. End of sentence."
Genuinely, Best Buy is one of the worst companies on planet earth.
Yup.
I was 17, I was about to graduate high school so it was part time. I was the most reliable department associate, but one of the "weaker" salesmen.
The department was spotless when I was there and the phone always got answered, and I made sure to bag 3 or 4 big sales a week, but I wasn't out to bleed every poor soul who walked into the department dry. I was more about good service and finding the right solution for each person.
So I got an average of 32 hours a week, well over all the other people in the department, but I was definitely on my way out, and that raging hemorrhoid of a waste of air reaming me out over helping an 80 year old woman who literally showed me her social security check, but assured me she had friends she could get to invite her over for dinner if the computer was too expensive pushed me out.
Its not even like if they fired me I would have gotten unemployment. It was just a petty move from a coward with a micro-peen who couldn't handle a 17 year old telling them they were a 45 year old failure at life working in a Best Buy for just over minimum wage taking advantage of nice elderly ladies.
And there is my tidbit about blowing up Palestinians instead of ensuring Americans have potable water.
