Do you really think they give a damn about privacy? If they care so much about privacy, wouldn’t they also be proclaiming how their website doesn’t track you and gobble identifying data? Or is it they are just hiding behind that argument because it sounds noble and their real concern is a business one?

Also, how secure do you think the state systems are that provide those ID’s?

Those places cost a lot of money to facilitate. They need to be cleaned and maintained. They require larger bathroom facilities due to the lengths of stays which also need to be cleaned and maintained. They need to pay people to do that. I fully understand that most wages aren’t enough to live on, but this is a direct effect of minimum wage laws. We can have living wages or we can have nice things at the expense of others essentially. But we really can’t have both and I am getting sick and tired of all the gd whining.

Just imagine those bison’s carbon footprint.

You act like nobody has ever conspired to do anything immoral before, like it’s some completely outlandish thing. History is rife with conspiracy. Maybe this guy did kill himself, but your attitude is quite unserious and ignorant.

I under that factory farming is absolutely ugly and there is a lot of low hanging fruit in how to improve it. But I never understand the extremist philosophy that no one should eat chickens or raise them in their back yard for eggs. Chickens simply don’t exist in the wild and are very far removed from the jungle fowl from which they came so long ago. If we stopped eating and raising them, they would go extinct. Is it better for a species to live in often poor conditions or to not exist entirely?

There are certain “sex linked” breeds of chickens that it is obvious whether a new born chick is male or female as they will be either color a or color b. We raise chickens for eggs and got stuck with a couple roosters before we decided to only purchase sex linked chicks going forward.

I got smoked in the temple by a knee during jiu jitsu. I felt immediate pain that immediately subsided. No sypmtoms, so I kept rolling. When I got home, I realized that was pretty stupid and I started remembering hearing about people dying from minor blows to the temple. I stayed up late to make sure I was ok but still no headache or any symptoms. After several days of no symptoms, I eventually got a mild tension like headache that lasted for 3 weeks and felt generally run down, like I had just woken up all the time. And then I was fine. Long story short, head injuries are bizarre.

Buried in the complaint is an interesting part about why he lost his original insurance carrier, they stopped writing policies in FL. The personal injury lawyers in Florida are out of control. There are also a ton of staged accident rings that nobody is doing anything about. I’m surprised any insurance carriers exist in that state anymore.

I try not to be hateful but dealing with attorneys every day will make you truly despise their profession. This brightened my day. Now if we could only disbar a couple million more.

I despise lawyers.

I don’t like more than a little spicy but I discovered that if you stand the jalapeño up and cut vertical panels leaving the core and seeds behind, they are essentially just sweet peppers with a little kick. It seems that almost all of the heat is in the seeds and the plith.

Pipes freeze and burst, whole house has to stay warm. It’s not just about comfort or safety.
