“Something something, when you owe 20 bucks that’s your problem, when you owe 1.3 Billion that’s everyone else’s.”

They should have seized his businesses and given them to the families. Up to them if they let him continue his podcast or if they’d rather give it the old copper wiring treatment.

I think it used to be. All my old beater cars had it, but I got a newer (2016) car recently and that shit was maybe 20% over the whole thing and no dark strip on top. It was like staring directly into the sun when driving.

In my state there’s a legal maximum, but pretty much any tint shop will put whatever you want on, only time a cop will hassle you about it is if they’re already hassling you for something else. In for a penny, in for a pound. Lots of 90%+ tinted side and rear windows and concerningly tinted front windshields.

I did go to one of those places to have a strip of dark tinting put onto the top 1/3 of my windshield that fades down to a much lighter one.

With the extent that the US goes to to protect these type of assets this doesn’t seem comparable to me. For example the fleet of wonder weapons at Diego Garcia and everything that the US is doing just as a precaution to protect them. Submarine patrols, F-15 anti-drone patrols, etc.

Idk about all that, but Minthara is obviously the best character. Shame she gets shortchanged just for not being an Origin character.

Just filed an OSHA complaint for the bird infestation in the warehouse I work at. Having a bird shit directly on the paperwork I was completing and management telling me to use a different portion of my desk to avoid direct hits was the last goddamn straw. Don’t really expect it to go anywhere but I gotta feel like I’m doing something.

They want all the upsides of slaves and none of the downsides, much like how they prefer to lease assets instead of owning them because then they have deferred responsibilities.

My yearly work dinners with the company owners feel like a hostage event

That shit ruins your own body, your life, and all your relationships and it’s objectively a reactionary take to celebrate that type of drug abuse.

Not everything is so black and white that the opposite of demonizing is celebrating. In no way do I celebrate his drug use, however it is the most human thing about him.

And as an aside for the parent comment to your reply, framing drug use as only okay in a narrow band of prescribed circumstances is reactionary in itself and exactly the puritan/moralism aspect I was talking about.
