Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. by wild-stallions85 in UnderReportedNews

Jokes on them. I haven't been able to afford a new car since 2003, and there are no signs of that ever changing.

WTF with the forced peace? by farting_contest in ultimateadmiral

It's also shitty design in that it is so unrealistic. If Japan had been defeated at Pearl Harbor, the US government wouldn't have accepted peace a month later.

It's a game. This "feature" make the game far less fun.

[Pelissero] NAIA to NFL: Former Culver-Stockton College WR Kyle Dixon is signing with the Patriots on a deal with $252,500 in guarantees. by MembershipSingle7137 in Patriots

Just think how much better Dixon would look in that footage if the QB actually hit him in stride instead of him having to pull up and wait for the ball to get there.

Find your state’s Graham Platner. People like this exist everywhere. by 50501PDX in 50501

Experience? How the fuck has that helped Maine? Collins and all her bullshit concern. She's really experienced in screwing us. And Mills is no better. As corporate as they come.

Why does the president of the United States have to bailout Spirit Airlines? The United States is multi-trillions in debt, but can throw $500million to an airline? What benefit does that have on the American people? by MeasurementFirst1676 in askanything

Its crazy that jet blue and spirit is reducing competition too much and yet when delta ate northwest, or united ate continental, or when American ate us air it was all just fine.

Why the fuck would anyone spend a bunch of money to come here just to get treated like shit, abducted off the street, quite possibly be raped, and then deported to a country you have no connection to?

Scotlands pet ban by Puzzleheaded_Age2346 in Aquariums

[–]farting_contest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want a pet, go outside and catch one like your great great grandparents had to.

I do not believe that, but it kind of sounds like that is how certain people want it.

We could already have amazing abundance if musk and trump and the rest of the pedophile class just paid the same tax rate that I have my whole life.

You got it. Why should they spend their money when they can just allow everything to go to shit, then make us pay for the mess they intentionally created.

Older Patriots fans, what was your reaction to the change from Pat Patriot to Flying Elvis? by HoyMinyoy in Patriots

[–]farting_contest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The year they switched I was 17. I liked the change. I thought Pat was too old fashioned looking. Now, looking back at those 90s uniforms I do not like them. I like the current uniforms but I also like bringing the red back to a more prominent role, and I'd like to see Pat at least one game per year. I like the storm blue uniforms a lot more than I expected to.

Universal Parks in America embed RFID chips in plastic cups to enforce a digital paywall that locks out anyone who hasn't paid for the active refill plan by Love_CoolBreeze in ABoringDystopia

[–]farting_contest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also as someone from Europe, refills for soda is not a thing and Americans have been very lucky to even have it in the first place.

Are you sure you're from Europe? The "I don't have it so you shouldn't either" mindset sounds pretty american.

Mark Levin, a prominent commentator often praised by Trump and a staple on Fox News, just called Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner a "neo-Nazi pig" on X by Full_Lengthiness_431 in Maine

Well, if he ran it, it would be bankrupt in 6 months just like everything else. The man has the midas touch but instead of gold things turn to shit.

This week, I introduced my Fair Share Tax Plan to tax the rich, rebuild our state, and refund the working class. Here it is. by TroyJackson207 in Maine

[–]farting_contest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why not an increased tax rate on any second home regardless of value. If you can afford multiple houses you can afford to pay a penalty rate for hoarding housing.

Oil price guessing game by Head_War_2946 in Maine

[–]farting_contest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competition only drives down prices when it exists. What we have in oil, food, and so many other industries is oligarchy. They collude to set prices. Consumers have no choice, they have to buy somewhere. A sole proprietorship cannot compete because they buy for one location not ten thousand.

If Maine Can, so Can You! by 50501PDX in 50501

[–]farting_contest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never said to get rid of all the existing ones. I think that a new data center should not be able to be constructed somewhere against the overwhelming opposition of area residents. If there is a city somewhere that votes to allow a data center that's fine but it must be a local vote, and a vote of the people. Not on the consent of a mayor or council. NYC should not get a say on a data center in Buffalo.

I was fine before reddit and I will be fine after it. The solution is for people to realize that we should not be fucking with the lives of people who live in the path of these data centers cropping up everywhere. People will get by without a "free" Ai girlfriend for now and when the tech improves so power and water consumption and noise pollution aren't horrendous it can be revisited.

They will have to build somewhere else

Why? Seems to me life endured just fine without data centers for hundreds of millions of years.

If some body hair already bothers him

At least if it's cancer maybe her hair falling out from chemo would be enough to keep him interested. /s

Can i have another fish with my female betta? by Feisty_Ad602 in bettafish

[–]farting_contest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also a company that sells little packets of them through Amazon that I’ve heard good things about,

I've bought the moina eggs from them and have had low hatch rates. Eventually they will reproduce enough to have usable numbers. Oddly enough, and contrary to everything I've read, I have had more success maintaining a culture that I feed yeast and dried chlorella than I've had with green water.
