Well, yeah; trees planted from random apple seeds are most likely to bear crabapples. Nobody was going to be eating them.

That’s the only way they can keep bringing in people while forcing them to pee in cups. It is one of those last choice desperation jobs.

Reading between the lines, they think they can save money replacing all those jobs with AI, but don’t want the bad PR for it.

And the bubble stretches…

Any housing that isn’t exclusively for billionaires is ‘left wing’.

It is the most schizophrenic language. Super easy to be understood even getting most of a sentence wrong, but can change meaning entirely with just a comma. Has at least two different root languages and as many as five depending on how you define root. Has words from almost every spoken language on the planet and has so many spelling exceptions you can have high level competitions just trying to spell different words.

And all that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Well, our 1 issue was a security flaw that forced us to rebuild our entire digital infrastructure from bare metal. So…

Musical instruments can get pricey. Especially good quality stringed instruments.

After the same thing that happened to them in WWI. The rebuild kept WWIII from happening another couple decades later and rehabilitated several despotic countries drunk on their own brand of patriotism. It was the real winner of WWII.

Allergies range from, “this is a bit uncomfortable,” to, “OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO DIE!” It can make it hard for some people to realize the potential seriousness if they’ve only ever experienced mild effects.

It was defeated by rebuilding the country afterwards. A lesson we learned from the aftermath of WWI that seems to have been forgotten.

We can’t even use Windows store. We have a bespoke portal that has a very small list of approved programs to install.

Is that the same update that broke Windows App* authentication?

* their idiotic name for the new remote desktop

Also, if you don’t care about phone calls, you can skip the carrier altogether and just use wifi.

Okay, hear me out. How about we get all that good stuff and just carve out a gun excepion. There’d be a lot less shooting each other if people weren’t afraid of starving on the streets and were getting free mental health care.

This is unironically Nixon’s fault.

The problem wasn’t panic buying, at least not after the first rush. It was that demand for home use went up past the ability to supply during lockdown. Shifting part of the commercial supply to the grocery stores would have solved it immediately.

It’s not magic just because you don’t understand it.

Trump’s intrusive thoughts are looking at him, horrified.

You say that, but it really is the only thing we can do without just giving up and saying “fuck you” to future generations. So how about taking your doomerism and fucking off somewhere to be miserable by yourself.

The toilet paper thing was so stupid. There was plenty available, but they didn’t want to sell it in stores because it was made for commercial use. At the same time they didn’t want to increase production for household supply since that would cost money and they wanted to use the shortage as an excuse to raise prices.
