Saw a tweet the other day that was quoting The Daily Show -

"I’ve noticed one thing about a certain type of rich person. When they don’t have problems of their own, they have to just make up problems just to make their lives interesting ... I can guarantee you, JK Rowling had zero opinions about trans people when she was on welfare."

From the designer of the 3,000 square foot house that was 300 feet long and 10 feet wide comes a newer and even poorer design.

Cross post. A repost implies that it's that posts second (or third, etc.) time here. a cross post means it's been posted somewhere else first.

All 3 of their current users are reportedly very upset.

>Under the MPRA, members who don’t vote are considered to have voted yes.

Wonder what kind of notification they're required to give under that law.

Spamming is already pretty difficult, what with the numerous ways you can choose how you view things.

Get rid of powers for when the guy you don't like is in office, repeal when your guy is in office.

This being right after Oregon's civil war, your title made me think you got popped by a Beaver's fan.

GodOfAtheism  ·  2949 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Oregon militants acquitted of conspiracy in wildlife refuge seizure

There's still the Nevada trial at least.

On one hand, good riddance.

On the other?

hahaha no, good riddance.

GodOfAtheism  ·  3070 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Steam Sale Stories... Anyone pick up any new games?

I picked up Transformers Devastation for myself, and spent about 15-20 bucks getting various friends stuff.

fyi ur capslock is on

GodOfAtheism  ·  3076 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Wow, Mark Zuckerberg Is Paranoid As Fuck

Justified paranoia in Zuckerberg's case, I would think. If anyone was going to get spied on in a variety of seemingly outlandish ways, it'd be him and other super rich/powerful folks like him.

GodOfAtheism  ·  3097 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Gargoyle: Get paid to scan license plates with your phone.

On one hand, that's shady as fuck.

On the other, I like money so...

Not having their payouts public is kind of shady though. I mean, on top of the shadiness of the business model.

GodOfAtheism  ·  3104 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: THEY TRRK RRR JRRRBS - robot edition

>Is it necessary for the good psychological wellbeing of members in a society to work for their necessities and luxuries?

Necessities? Iffy. Luxuries? Absolutely. If a person has to put in 60 hours a week to keep a roof over their head and food on their table, their mental state is going to absolutely be different than the guy who works 30 hours a week just so they can build up their comic book collection. I'm inclined to say said mental state is going to be far better in the latter case, and lead to more rational decisions. The guy working 30 hours isn't going to look at a payday loan when they come up a little short for Walking Dead #1, for one obvious example.

GodOfAtheism  ·  3104 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski, pick my Nintendo 3DS Skin

As a matter of course, I prefer understated to ostentatious, so things like this appeal to me more than something garish. At the far end of things, maybe something like this

GodOfAtheism  ·  3115 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Serves Up Big Kiosk Expansion As Wage Hikes Hit Fast Food

Not particularly shocked.

The minute it became cheaper to have a robot than a person, this was going to happen. Minimum wage hikes only sped up that inevitability.

It's not reposting, it's crossposting.

And obviously internet points are super important.

son of a bitch, i posted that 3 days ago on imgur and only got around 1300 upvotes there, this guy got nearly 10,000 =|

I was expecting pink fluff ball kirby metal. Pleasantly surprised.

> I mean, a Trump presidency relies on enough angry, uneducated white people to vote in swing states to dominate the potheads.

There are a lot of angry uneducated white people out there though, and Trump can soften his rhetoric to get the more educated and less angry white people that make up a larger percentage of the population.

Maybe half of one, I dunno about a full one.

That smacks of cronyism

Portland is running into similar issues as well., which is really just spillover from San Fran, in my opinion.
