  • You might have a concept of how lucky you are, but you’ll never truly understand without having worked away years of your life first.

    Hopefully you can understand why some people close to you are upset. It’s a raw deal busting your ass in a 9-5 your entire life then seeing someone inherit millions when they turn 18. You didn’t earn it, and as long as you know that, you can probably avoid becoming an asshole.

    I don’t even know you and I hate your guts. But at the same time, I would love to be in your place. So I also don’t hate you. If I was in the family and watched this happen to you, I’d probably just hate you.











  • I mean, I could make tacos at home. Or I could pay a bit more to go pick them up somewhere. I could change my own oil, or I could have someone else do it.

    I could spend time downloading all this data and uploading it to a hard drive I purchase. I know how to do it all. But for the price they’re charging for the drive AND Raspberry Pi and the service of gathering and uploading the data, it’s not that bad of a deal. Especially if you work a full time job and want to use your free time to not do a chore like this. I mean I’m pretty sure there’s torrents for Wikipedia. Not so sure about WikiHow.

    If the price was higher I’d be complaining. It’s pretty reasonable. It’s a peace of mind thing without hassle for anyone with even a little extra cash lying around.






  • You can repeat “smoke and mirrors” as many times as you want. Doesn’t change that the parties vote VERY differently. Doesn’t change that one party got me affordable healthcare when I was young when the other one basically told me to go fuck myself. Doesn’t change that one illegally attempted to overturn an election and the other didn’t. Doesn’t change that one stripped women of a federally protected human right while the other didn’t.

    There are so many examples of the parties not being the same that there’s no other way to look at your opinion than as ignorant to the extreme.
