If you can afford a private aircraft, you can afford to pay some fucking taxes.

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don’t want to use it.

No, that’s just me being stupid.

This sounds like the first chapter of 1986.

You are either answering the wrong question, or are defining a lie based on some criteria I don’t recognize.

Telling a Nazi there are no Jews in my basement is a lie. The only way it’s not a lie is if there are, in fact, no Jews in my basement. But it is not wrong to lie to a Nazi.

Our governing system is increasingly illegitimate.

I would assume they were placed on a bedside table pointed in the general direction of the fucking.

But still.

Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that’s the restaurant’s responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.

Ah, the Wicked Bible, first brought to my attention while reading Good Omens.

Can’t argue with the word of god.

I had been at work for two hours, but yes.

I missed the “X” in that title, and read “EFF is leaving the Electronic Freedom Foundation,” and was very confused.

Define “extinct?”

If I had the skills. . .

This is an anti-gift.

I agree with you, but no matter has good your training and equipment, you’re taking the chance every time.

As someone pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the same is true of driving to work, which makes OP’s position rather questionable.

I don’t think he has any beef with firemen, but if your job is to deliberately expose yourself to an incredibly dangerous situation on the regular, death is kind of an expected outcome.

I agree, as far as that goes, but I still feel sorry for them.

I’m on board.

A good point.

Wait, how many of those do we have? I’d expect us to have at least 10,000 given how we are supposed to be the bastion of goddamn freedom. Can hardly claim to be the stalwart defender of democracy if we don’t have enough ammo for at least a month.

And if we don’t have ammo, maybe we shouldn’t be starting wars with nations that have a military.

If I could get a slide-out keyboard, like I had on my sidekick, or even a T9, I’d ditch autocorrect in a heartbeat.
