lol it’s not the dealers who will want them

what’s the defense? “people won’t buy it if they know they won’t own it!!! we’re entitled to all the money everywhere!!!”

it’s not enough to have their cake and eat it too–they’re after your cake also

LOL at first i thought you were talking about weeb anime figurines, then remembered barbie and ken are things

dumb cars will be worth their weight in gold soon

LOL “if it was opt-in, no one would do it!”

no fucking shit. there is nothing worth watching that i would buy a smart tv for

lol there is one person in this whole thread who’s getting mad, but it’s not me

and yes, as someone else said, it’s no big deal for someone to contact the business office of an institution and offer money on the condition of anonymity and other conditions. and the business people say okay, forms are filled out and signed, and money is transferred. they want to be anonymous because they don’t want all the other institutions calling them asking for money too. and/or they don’t want the world to know they’re the ones influencing the school’s spending

no one wants donors to be able to influence whoever they’re donating to. but that’s how reality works

“i’ll give you 100 million dollars on the condition that $X of it be spent on ______” is how it’s exerting influence

i was a barista for well over 10 years (as an introvert to boot). it’s 100% a side gig. it may cover some food and gas, but NO ONE is paying rent with barista pay, especially since they cut labor every time it’s “slow” for 20 minutes.

i stayed there because of the free pound of coffee every week and flexibility, but don’t act like it’s always the only thing between the workers and homelessness

no rugrats

if you can’t handle dealing with endless insufferable people and decided to sign up for a barista job, then that’s definitely on you

lol and they’ll raise prices again next year. and people will complain for a minute, then renew their sub

when is this going to stop being news?

it takes dedication to print full color these days. on 11x17 no less

after years of dealing with emm386 trying to get ultima 7 to run on DOS, i always bought all the ram i could afford. fuck all that “you don’t need that much” bullshit

it’s fucking insane to me that there was no such thing as a billionaire in those days, and now it’s like if you’re “just a millionaire” you’re just small potatoes

Also he is not nearly as ________ as he claims to be.
