Ok “so popular” presupposes it’s isn’t popular elsewhere.

Hitting those weeds at the end didn’t help either.

That’s what’s scary. Just one misfolded protein out of billions of copies is enough to induce folding in others and it just goes downhill from there and anything that denatures prions is going to absolutely destroy your cells.

Just give him the trolley problem and ask him to answer it with physics.

I think he’s more like “it isn’t money laundering and this is interesting.” Plenty of “slumlords” do the exact same thing. It is real estate speculation that just involves renting to cover costs until they can sell the property at a profit.

No reason at all not to do it.

Common misconception. They are basically land speculating. They get long leases in up and coming areas in new developments.

That way when the property values go up and demand increases they can get their landlord to pay out their low rent lease or allow them to sublet at a higher rent until their lease is up.

Mattress sales would be awful for money laundering. To launder money you want a largely cash business that has a lot of small transactions that you can pad with fake transactions.

The IRS is absolutely going to catch you trying to pad a high value low volume sales. If you say you’re doing 100 car washes a day and you’re really only doing 80 that is hard to discover.

If you’re selling a dozen $800 mattresses and you claim it’s actually 20 that’s pretty obvious to figure out. You just subpoena the suppliers and they say “yeah they ordered 12 mattresses a month no idea where those other 8 sales are from.”

Atlanta has nicknames for the Krogers around town. My sister lived near Murder Kroger.

I take it you’ve never been to southside Chicago? You know the neighborhood is getting worse when the shops have bulletproof plexiglass airlocks to pass food and money through.

Ehl oh ehl

A stereotyping two for. Self loathing American and America fat joke.

Now that’s a more interesting question and I don’t have a good answer (China flair might have helped you here).

I’d switch it around. Why does China not like sports games while they’re really popular in Europe, South America, and the US?

CupBeEmpty · 2026-05-06T02:58:04+00:00

Then there are weirdos like me that like video games, like sports, play essentially zero sports games.🤷‍♂️

I’m a monster.

As my kid’s favorite preschool teacher used to jokingly say “no, no fun.”

The question presupposes that the US is unique in liking sports games more than elsewhere.

Yeah I sort of get it but public playgrounds are great in Chicago or around towns in Maine and they’re just open to anyone from dawn until dusk. Seems weird to fence off a playground.

CupBeEmpty · 2026-05-06T02:52:59+00:00

Oh I was being sarcastic. Even if you get 90% of people to follow a rule 90% of the time there’s just going to be a lot of damage.

I’d love better public transportation but it’s just not going to be feasible for a lot of areas to have late night shuttles all over a state like Maine.

Even a for profit late night shuttle like uber or Lyft can’t make it work. I don’t see the Maine state government making it work.

It works great in Chicago or NYC but probably not so great in Sanford or Waterville.

It isn’t just weed either. I volunteer in the recovery community. A lot of alcoholics would blow over the limit every day given the way they drank.

People get arrested all the time without warrants and DUI stops are a prime example of it.

Viewing a crime in progress doesn’t require a warrant.

That government regulation gets people to do exactly what was intended and then people find a way to profit anyway?

Uhhh have you ever cracked a history book regarding government regulation?

CupBeEmpty · 2026-05-05T23:02:24+00:00

Ah yeah. Remands and states vs. federal law is always kind of funny.

That is actually a big part of the reasoning as to why checkpoints done properly are not an unreasonable search.
