  • Wow, I wonder where the chip came from. Pinto came all in one piece so has nothing like that. He got into scuffles with other cats and even racoons (hes just that big), so hes had the occasional vet visit. Nothing serious though.

    Pinto is very gentle so he rarely bites. Most of the time he will push your hand away with increasing pressure until he swats at you with no claws. I've never pushed him further. I'd hate to find out too, hes obliterated cheap toys before with his hind legs.

  • How do you want to be remembered?

  • Someone who worked an honest life. Not someone who took advantage of others directly or indirectly (working for a scummy company). I observed many places abusing uninformed customers for work. It was sickening seeing these guys tack on random shit to the bill since they knew they could trick the customer.

    For the women reading, you are often targeted and scammed this way. Learn about what you are getting fixed so you know if the bill is bullshit. Ive seen places press a couple buttons on a computer and charge for replacing the OS, updating drivers and other nonsense.

    Contractors and service places (repair and automotive shops) are prime examples. I know good contractors who don't like being watched, but you as the paying customer deserve and have the right to watch. Once a plumber stole 600$ from my grandpa's wallet, money he was going to give to his grandkids. I worked for an honest computer shop I was proud of, but it was constantly on the verge. It was extremely depressing.

    Now after a career change (woodworking) I hope to provide decent products for an honest price. Materials and equipment + labour (with an hourly rate of a livable wage).

  • I have no idea what the guy is talking about. Hi-points are under like 200$, and thats a complete pistol. It ain't luxurious but it shoots.

  • Are you in support of UBI?

    Jump

  • Maybe depending on the situation, and whether or not we can properly tax those who need to pay for most of it.

    If it continues as it is now, with corporate entities and billionaires paying nearly nothing in taxes, I wouldn't support it. It only alienates the upperclass who we want on our side. Millionaires compared to billionaires is a similar scale to min wage workers to millionaires. We need to make it clear we are not after the 1%, but the 0.1%.

    In addition to a UBI there needs to be some kind of price control. Otherwise I would fear that it'd simply subsidize corporate price gouging. Rents would immediately shoot up.

  • Its not like UBI invented competition. The fact that prices are rising for goods while costs to produce said goods is lowering is a symptom of lacking competition and a broken system.

    At some points big companies are just going to agree to stop lowering prices. There's a reason insulin is so damn expensive.

  • Sanders says next term is likely his last

    Jump

  • I will say he is still real sharp. Hes coherent and concise. You can tell trump and biden have had some real decline, slowing way down or just speaking nonsense, but Bernie is still a great speaker.

  • Is it true America has a long history of idolizing outlaws? Can you name some?

  • Do people really idolize dahmer?

  • TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.

  • Ive had some really bad problems with eBay and is actually why I went back to amazon.

    One item was taking a long time to ship with no label made, I contacted the seller and told me that things were super busy in Japan. I gave him the benefit of a doubt and I checked in another month later, I asked him just to refund it, h but he kept delaying and eventually I just tried to go to eBay customer service. THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. There are only automated menus for you to click through for different options, and since at this point it was longer than 3 months I couldn't do anything to get a refund, despite zero evidence of shipping being provided.

    I have had to refund some stuff from amazon from time to time and a couple other issues, but those are always sorted promptly, especially after speaking to customer service. The complete lack of any human to speak to on ebay gives me zero confidence buying from there.

  • How would you get back into hobbies you've abandoned for years?

  • Thats simply becoming a "professional" at what you do.

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?

  • It's hard to defend yourself from guns. Considering Trump, with the resources, intelligence and defense of the entire state still had 2 close calls with assassinations being an example of this.

    The second time was in a secure, exclusive, golf resort.

    Rifles can reliably hit a target within 200 meters in a single shot with practice. They maintain an effective range from 500 to even 800 meters.

    Unless CEOs are okay with living and working in extreme solitude and isolation, there will always remain the possibility of assassination.

  • Considering the US (and most modern militaries) struggle against insurgencies and irregular militia (Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam) there's no reason to doubt the american public.

    Much of the Vietcong were uneducated, underfed, impoverished rural farmers but they were a devastating force to GIs.

  • What's the last post you started typing an answer to, thought about the replies you'd get and noped out of?

    Pinto is not so snuggly but he likes to hang around people

  • Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?

    Jump

  • By its nature, communism requires large amounts of control, as it's a centrally planned economy. The state decides if it needs more coal, wheat, tools, steel, etc, then conscipts people as workers for various industries. Instead of an economy controlled by demand business owners, it is controlled by the state.

    To maintain that control you need to maintain control of the people.
