I even got them to secure me a refund against the Australian government after they refused to issue a refund after directing me to apply for a tourist visa with the wrong visa process.

I love this result. It’s really damn hard to protect yourself from government failure, especially in cases where you are owed money. It’s awesome that you not only got your money back, but also got to play the “fuck you, if you take my lunch money you can fight my big brother” card.

Hell, he may name 5 if he guns down 5 of the current ones. Crime doesn’t matter when you’re the president, and the next 5 you name can agree with you. Or they can also be gunned down.

You’re out of your mind if you think the regular guy off the street should:

1. Know the difference between IMAP and POP3

2. Know the inner workings of iMessage

If Apple requires proof of understanding to sell their tech, they should submit users to a test. Otherwise, their tech should work how the users expect it to. And deleting messages when I press the damn “delete” button is how any sane person expects things to work. Now, if Apple wants to make a copy and store it in their asshole, and I have to penetrate them anally to delete it as well? That’s fucking debatable in court if it’s a reasonable expectation for a user to have.

It took a war to contain nazis the last time. Maybe it takes a war this time around as well. And truthfully? Better to have it be a civil war when the head of state is a Democrat. Because if this won’t be a civil war or if Trump is in power when it starts, nukes will be used.

I think there is quite an easy solution to the housing issue we’re facing: exponential tax increase per property.

There is no reason for someone to own more than one property in a city. No reason at all. But even if you could find one - let’s say the first 2-3 properties (defined as houses/apartments of less than X area each) have regular taxes. But then? Then it gets retarded. 500k more per year for the fourth one. 4 mil extra a year for the fifth. 50 mil extra for the sixth. One billion for the seventh. You’re a property developer? You have until 2 years after the property was finisbed to make sure someone has bought every little bit of it, otherwise that 40 apartment building will end up costing you twice the foreign debt.

Can’t pay the taxes? You can always sell the place, at a fair market value. Let’s say your two uncles died in a short timespan and they both left you their houses, but you had some property already and now you’re up to 5 residential properties but you’re not prepared to pay the extra few million. You can always list their houses. Every month they are listed and don’t get bought, you reduce the price by 5%. Overvaluing the property gets it confiscated - you surrender your property to the state, which then distributes it to those in need in a lottery. You can also opt to just give away some of your less desirable properties directly instead of trying to sell them.

But no, that’d be sudden death for all the retards who keep building, all the fuck heads who keep buying and holding, and all the politicians whose pockets get padded for listening to whichever lobby.

Yo just make the + include straight and you’ll get a pretty big increase in numbers

It could be, if she wants it to be.

It could also be the type of case where her lawyers stop openAI from ever using her voice again, if she wants that to be the case.

Being rich opens up options. If openAI would be using my voice instead, they’d have a wildly less popular product but nobody to sue them for it, cause I’d be using my money to still dream about home ownership at some point before I die, not to hire lawyers or fight windmills.

Why doesn’t Biden just shoot this fuck? I thought presidents can’t be charged for crimes they commit while in office.

We’re talking about sexual attraction to children that don’t know how to file their taxes

Motherfucker are you in the IRS or why the hell do you think a boner is somehow related to following processes? “Oh god, yeah baby file that W2, I’m so hard right now” gtfo outta here with your weird ass fetish, what a fucking shit show.

“AI”

They’re talking about a chicken. Source: they wrote the word “chicken”.

/c/fuckcars is that way, thanks for stopping by

Cars will never be dethroned. Yes, trains are cool - choo choo motherfucker. Yes, bikes are environmentally friendly. Yes, the car is a truly fucking horible answer to the question “how to get from A to B”.

But that’s because cars are the answer to the question “how to get from A to B comfortably”. I don’t want my baby and my in-law to get on the back of my bike when we’re going camping. I don’t want to take the train and then walk 2 miles from the station every single fucking day with 20kg of tools in my hand, because shit, the train doesn’t stop next to my house, and it doesn’t stop next to my work. I want to be able to have acces to comfortable transportation.

So the answer will still be the car. Even with everyone crying about it. Cause the cat’s out of the bag with cars, we made them efficient and cheap enough to not be considered luxury items anymore. And some countries (see: US) have their entire infrastructure built with cars in mind. You’re never putting the lid back on this, even if it’s a decent idea.

They’re not trolls, just Unix-pilled dumbasses who can’t accept their 4% club isn’t the literal holy grail they want it to be.

Linux is great, yeah. You know what else is great? Playing games. Not debugging drivers. Stable configurations. Not sucking Torvalds’ dick. Coming home after my job and just doing whatever the fuck I want on my PC, instead of putting on my “Linux user” overalls and going back to what is basically another job, trying and failing to get the fucking OS to do one teensy little thing that there are 50 half-documented solutions for, 49 of which don’t work.

Yes. As it should be. I’ll buy the car that chooses to mow down a sidewalk full of pregnant babies instead of mildly inconveniencing myself or my passengers. Why the hell would you even consider any other alternative?

Since we’re 'what if’ing, what if we bombed the shit out of every Israeli embassy in every country?

That probably would be the opposite extreme, and I have a feeling entirely different situations will rise out of that.

Tbh idk what I’d do. It’s good I’m not in a position to decide. I just think the federal government offering people incentives to bypass privacy is dangerous and wrong.

Hey man, you’re kinda narrowing down the entire problem of the right to privacy being consistently shat upon by your government into “well I knew one person where it was justified so this means those who argue against it fuck kids”

I understand what you mean and if you want to carve an exception into the law for CP I’d be all for it - maybe everyone is a mandated reporter of child porn, and all suspicions MUST be reported to the FBI and the evidence handed over. But I don’t wanna get swatted just because my wife and I are into BDSM and we photographed a particularly rough session. Or because I took some pics of some clear plastic bags filled with flour that I put in my trunk to prank a friend. Or a million other things a geek squad guy might misinterpret and call the police for.

Gotta claw back that moral high ground

I’m not sure where you think the moral high ground is, but there’s nobody for me to claw it back from - or at least certainly not you. I’m amazed you’ve even heard of it, because you’ve obviously never seen it considering that I’m advocating for killing people who are leading an animal abuse group, while you’re literally saying people are worthless because they’re disabled.

I’m skipping the middle paragraphs but I’m gonna assume you realized you Freudian slipped your way into showing you’re an ableist cunt, so now you’re trying to prove you’re not, or that I’m the bigger asshole, or some sort of last ditch attempt to make yourself sound reasonable. “Haha I’m not a dipshit I was trolling all along” style. As if anyone in their right mind is just going to skip past the fact that you’re suggesting disabled people are worthless to society.

Oh shit sounds like I’ve made your “okay to shoot in the head” list.

You’ve gone through this entire conversation the wrong way, tbh. This is what happens when you try to put words in people’s mouths to make your shitty arguments, you reveal your own thought process along the way. Let’s go through it just to be clear: you obviously made the cunt list, because you’re being an ableist cunt. But you seem to think the cunt list is the same as the “okay to shoot” list, and that’s on you again. Because just like your previous “disabled people are worthless” opinion, it says more about you than me.

I just want to be absolutely clear

No you don’t, you just want me to give you enough arguments to make your case. Which wouldn’t be necessary if you had a case at all.

should we apply this same “your life is only tolerated if you’re worth something to society” to, for example, the severely disabled?

It’s interesting that you think disabled people are worth nothing to society. I guess you’ve never of Stephen Hawking, Stevie Wonder or Michael J. Fox? Or maybe you’ve heard of them, but think they’ve brought nothing to society? Or maybe you’re aware of them and acknowledge their impact, but you still think you’re better than them, just because they’re disabled. Yeah, option 3 sounds like you. Cunt.
