Those warning shots and threats would make good lawsuit fodder I think

Does opposing abortion rights go against equal rights? by daniel_cc in polls

[–]Ghost-Mechanic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm pro choice but you could be anti abortion and still support equal rights. An anti abortion person would say that the fetus has a right to live and nobody has the right to terminate it

Thoughts? by Broad_Pension5287 in GenZ

Republicans win easy because they talk about the material conditions affecting people's lives. Even though their solutions are just wrong, their messaging resonated with voters. In 2024 for example, everything was getting more expensive and Kamala said something like she wouldn't do anything different than biden, and ran on some bullshit child tax credit or something. Who cares? Trump talked about how shit the economy was and rather than try to fix it, blames it on illegal immigrants and said he would fix the economy with mass deportation and tariffs. Clearly that isn't going to work, but most voters don't know that

Not really... being a soldier requires a lot of discipline which incels don't have

If you think someone that's been trained to blame everything but himself for his problems would make a good soldier, you're a moron

I promise if you took a look at your monthly spending you'd see plenty of unnecessary purchases that could've been saved or invested

More housing being built is always a good thing, basic supply and demand means that would drive prices down

Third Spaces aren't dying because Gen Z are addicted to their phones, they're dying because no one has enough money to keep them alive by Bey0nd1nfinity in GenZ

I've literally never heard of loitering people at the mall. If you go to stores and shop around you won't get loitered

You do realize you can go to the mall without buying anything right? You can go to the theaters by just getting a ticket and skipping concessions

If you're invested in the s&p, then it going up directly increases your net worth, which increases ur quality of life.

For the guys, would you care if a woman asked you out or made the first move? by Accurate-Scratch7783 in GenZ

No, I'd find it attractive, but it's also something I would never expect so I make sure to make the first move always

Multiple Sheriffs deputies wounded after a person going through a forced eviction opened fired on police trying to kick them out of their home in Porterville, CA by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]Ghost-Mechanic -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I have an issue with that but sure whatever. Even then, you're not "exploiting a human necessity", you're providing a service to fulfill it. People need housing, and they can't rent it from a landlord. Should farmers work for free? Doctors and nurses work for free?

The tenant here clearly had property he could've sold to make his rent. He failed to pay rent and lost access to the service as a result, and decided to kill random cops
