Oh… Oh is that what I was supposed to do?

Found the crafting systems (one for building I guess, one for weapons and food and “handheld” stuff) to be incredibly non-intuitive. For what we all paid, my family had a great evening each accidentally walking into the fire and then running around in a panic onfire while everyone else barely looked up from their craft books.

Well TIL!

We don’t want him. Keep his board and send him home.

$25000 bail. Lady who said “delay deny depose. You people are next.” Gets $100,000?

Dude also had illegal firearms in addition to THE LARGEST STOCKPILE OF HOMEMADE EXPLOSIVES IN FBI HISTORY.

But he is a hard working family man…

Fuck this.

When he is released… On $25k bond.

But God help you if you are a woman who got denied healthcare coverage and say over the phone “delay deny depose, you people are next.”

There’s no bail for that. I wonder how many illegal firearms she had?

Ok.

I understand your concern, and the validity of it. On a microscale, I was personally involved with helping a Syrian refugee family get established as part of a group I am a member of. It was insulting to sit at the meeting while a few of the members basically played “house” with this family, trying to decide how to get them the cheapest beds and where to get them clothes, instead of just setting them up with the absolute basics and then handing over the rest of the cash and being available to help them with language training and familiarizing them with the city and its services and inviting them to social groups.

But you seem like you have a chip on your shoulder. This person is using his labour, which is twice as valuable as any of the materials he is using, to make something, to help someone. The cure to homelessness is homes, and until the government actually starts caring about people like that, this guy is providing the best homes he can.

If you want me to say “you are right, this isn’t optimized for peak efficiency, so why are we bothering.” Then I’m afraid that’s where we will have to disagree.

I think you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If this man spend another $30 a month for a postal box address or mail forward service for each “camper van” , would that resolve your concern? Should he sell the houses to some hipsters to fulfill their vantasies and just offer mail forwarding instead?

What are your thoughts on this:

That $10,000 home isn’t a one time payment. It could theoretically be used for 3 months by the first person who needed it before they find stable housing, a week for the next person and a year and a half for the 3rd. We could either decide that eventually the house would be occupied by its final owner. Someone who needs more than a warm toolshed to pull themselves up, but in theory these houses could help dozens of people. Even more if a limit (a long one, a year or more) was put on them.

Don’t think I’m suggesting this is the answer, systematically we should be taking care of people. But if one dude can can build 3 “houses” that could help dozens, isn’t that better than “helping*” 3 people with a 1 time payment?

*Helping here meaning depending on who is selected that $10k could be very harmful, quite the opposite of what should be our goals.

This is AI generated! No way he actually ever styles his hair like that!

Funny thing is he is such small potatoes it’s ridiculous. That’s like trying to summon Luigi to kill you McDonald’s team lead. Like yeah he’s an asshole and in a position of power so you have to hear him yammering, and yeah would be nice, but it’s almost a waste.

This is the Canadian “we have CEO’s at home.” Meme. Except I don’t recall of he is even a CEO of anything right now…

I am all for science but yeah, forensics shouldn’t be considered a science. It has some scientific elements. And a lot of bullshit.

I will toss it in the trash but next time please don’t leave your garbage around.

Fucking disgusting

You are correct, which is why I didn’t pursue the matter. They can keep my money, they’ve lost a customer.

They are providing a SERVICE. I was not using the service, I didn’t need it. The mistake might have been mine (assuming it wasn’t a dark pattern or sketchy design) but they had a choice: keep my money and tell me to go fuck myself (which they did) or refund my money at no cost to them. This wasn’t a box of goods that they would have to take back and reinventory.

I would have purchased the lower tier of service (which I explained to the rep) and continued to use their services, and I would have been telling you about how they were reasonable and I am a happy customer.

I had already invested significant effort in moving my email over, it was a pain to shift back, but if Proton’s answer to a simple problem is “fuck you, we’ve got ours.”, I’ll pass. I spent a lot of time on their 'pick a paid service" page because I was going to pay for one of their lower tiers, I just hadn’t decided which one.

I tried switching to Proton. They took my money somehow (I think I was looking over the paid options and then got distracted and auto filled. Basically I wasn’t paying attention) and then when I noticed on my cc bill I contacted them to say 'hey, I didn’t mean to pay for all these features I don’t need and am not using. Can I please have a refund?" They were like “lol it’s been a month and 2 days so no, enjoy your 17 email addresses and some other crap you aren’t using and don’t need.”.

Still looking for an alternative to Google but it isn’t going to be Proton.

And just like that, I’m suddenly way more comfortable google…

I’d love to know what she was denied. While I’m guessing it’s regular bullshit if it was something serious then it’s the health insurance company that is threatening her and doing her harm.

But this is fucking stupid. That judge should have to spend the same amount of time in jail as she ends up doing and she should sue. She should be charged with uttering threats or whatever, but there is ZERO reason she should be stuck with $100,000 bail. She is not a threat, even IF (big if) she did make one.

Please join me and fast for 24 hours! And pray!

Literally everyone, looking at their calendar wondering when they are supposed to take 24hours to starve themselves for… For what?

Seriously even if this actually helped the situation his privilege isn’t just showing, it’s flopping around while his panties are around his ankles. Who has 24 consecutive hours a week for this BS?

What’s the problem? The surgeon I assume knows the timeline (which the insurance company came up with via decades of expertise), they just need to work faster.

F-ing ~s in case it’s needed…
