So why are we taking care of them? They can go get their own jobs, housing, manage food, health, etc.

Being happy doesn’t mean you ok. They require extensive care throughout their lives


A parking lot is an excellent use of self driving.

First, I want to summon my car. Then, when leaving, if I’m in a dense area with lots of shopping, the roads can be a pain. You have to exit right, immediately get into the left lane, three lanes over, the second of the right turn only lanes, etc


Why the hell would anyone do this instead of using any one of dozens of purpose written tools that accept configuration files?

They take less than a second to run, can run on every save, and are free


My point exactly...


Your ability to be creative is a distant second to being able to take care of yourself.

You are not the only consideration, there is also the rest of the population. It’s not like we have some endless “West” you can go to and be by yourself.

When problematic people get put away, historically, it’s jail. Psychiatric institutions were considered an alternative that was better. Yes, way back in the day they quickly became really bad places, but if done better, are a far better alternative than what we do today.

I used to live near one. I remember they had extensive gardens because gardening was therapeutic for some of the patients, low cost, time consuming, had a reward, etc.


It’s not. There are lots of “rights” people have to live untreated on the street


This is reactionary, elitist, and false.

I know many of “those people” and not a single one of them religious.

American leftist insults always go like this - X is bad, but only if it originated from us. The self loathing is amazing.

* Religion is bad, but only if it’s Christianity. * Men are bad, unless they’re trans * Gender is a social construct, but race is real * culture is important, unless it’s associated with whites, because they don’t have culture

Right wing is a semi balancing act * religion is good, unless Muslim * men aren’t necessarily good or bad. They can be heros or villains * boys naturally fight with sticks, it’s not taught * American culture is just as valid as any other

Not exactly a mirror image, but enough team loyalty and justification goes on so people can pat themselves on the back as smart while the other team is delusional


"False" I can entertain, but reactionary? Elitist? Huh?

Your list of grievances is like a Fox News handout for viewers to remember what they hate about DemonRats.

Your "assumptions":

  * Religion is bad, but only if it’s Christianity. 
  * Men are bad, unless they’re trans 
  * Gender is a social construct, but race is real
  * culture is important, unless it’s associated with whites, because they don’t have culture
Can be "fixed":

  * Your Religion is yours, don't make it mine (regardless of which flavored cult)
  * Men no longer get to be the boss just because they're men 
  * Gender is a personal "choice"
  * Culture is important (and "white culture" is tempting to make light of in that it's "punching up", and it's kind of Wonder Bread bland).
LOL IRL on the right wing balancing act, but I'll agree with the statements except for the blanket "religion is good" (it's conditional), and the Islamophobia (which I love as much as I love christianity).

I'm happy for you that you have people to pat you on the back and tell you you're smart -- we all could use a little emotional support.

Edit: I only have two Trump supporters in my friend list -- they are both intelligent, kind, and devoutly religious. Obviously I have n=2 personally, but it's a thing to very Christian and very Trumpy. It's an observation, not a judgement.


It was. I remember taking road trips with the assumption that our destination location would be a very different place. Different accent, styles, restaurants, overall feel.

Today, it’s almost the same everywhere I go


You’re kidding?


You clearly think in small terms then. Trillion dollar fish eat billion dollar fish


I don’t think you understand what’s being said. He’s not talking about the ability to refund


But is there a good reason to do a chargeback if you can easily refund it? Yes if someone stole the CC and used it buy something on Steam, but is that the concern or that someone buys something with a CC on their own account, and then chargebacks instead of refunding?
