Alternatively, you can view vandalization as, essentially, a sin tax. If the person is willing to pay the cost to keep their current setup whatever… but vandalization will provide an economic motive for the victim and others around them to revise their behavior.

Hey, let’s just… let the market decide.

I do agree that you’re unlikely to make the vandal change their beliefs, but given enough vandalization you’ll end up stealing Musk’s money.

A relative of mine is a state employee… he had two reports that’d applied for transfer to the equivalent federal departments… and those two have now withdrawn their requests.

I wish you the best of luck and I thank you for your contribution to public well being.

Maybe we can go for four?

Ah, I see you’re a fan of the famed triple luigi manuver.

Either vote against his bullshit or you’re supporting his law breaking.

Yea, I think human perspective generally defaults to us assuming other people have had similar experiences to us so people can be blind when someone else is fully missing a big chunk of context.

I don’t believe so. I think they’re separate considerations.

I think that Colbert’s decision to not say Trump’s name for a long time was a good one - I think that Trump in particular is narcissistic enough to be wounded by silence. However, even when he wasn’t president there were some things he was doing (like proclaiming the innocence of Jan 6 insurrectionists) that we needed to call out and have attention on - but his opinions on random shit didn’t need to be heard.

Now that he’s president we need to listen and hold him accountable when he speaks. Unfortunately some dickwads reelected him so he’s in the middle of the spotlight regardless, so we should closely examine his bullshit (i.e. when he said “I will own Gaza” - the media should be hounding him over that shit).

I really enjoy creamy chicken pot pie with white vinegar on top. I also enjoy sauerkraut on my tuna melts…

I like acid.

Create a torrent file named RockyHorrorPictureShow_Outtakes_TaylorSwift and release it to the internet.

AP should claim it is publishing their articles in Canadian English.

Because most people who use good free stuff assume everyone else is using it to… because it’s like free and shit.

If bad shit is unobserved and unpunished it has no cost and will be normalized faster.

Our problem right now is that people shake their fingers at Trump but he never actually pays any consequences - if bad actors are forced to pay for their damage we can discourage repeats from them and, if we publicize it, others.

Also, all but the dumbest marketers know that some news is directly damaging - it’s just that some things you might think are damaging aren’t. As an example, a wardrobe malfunction in the middle of a live commercial Ala Janet Jackson isn’t going to cause brand damage because it’s not actually a negative association…

Similarly, while Toyota needed to complain about the use of Hiluxes in the Chad-Libiyan border war because embracing it would implicate them in human rights abuses… The Great Toyota War was excellent PR for Toyota by both getting their name out there indirectly and by proving how fucking indestructible those fuckers are.

So I’d probably say that the premise of that statement is just false but is instead highlighting that a lot of things called “bad press” actually aren’t.

I briefly subletted a room in a party house…

A drunk dude passed out on the toilet I discovered while trying to go and get a shower.

It’s true, it is a lot. There are alot of factors - so much that some people even use both options.

As a McWordSmasher I do enjoy my self word smashing unpredictably. Let’s smash allthethings and let the reader sort it out as they want. Chaos for everyone, every single one.

Damn the US sure seems impotent and weak these days if they can’t even restore boundaries from just ten years ago.

If only there weren’t organizations like the ADL and AIPAC that were actively degrading Jewish safety.

I think his recipe game is weak enough that I’d just suggest improvising instead - just throw some shit together with some spices and enjoy.

Fuck the Adelsons.

Hey now - why go with Lee when you could go with Forrest and celebrate the first leader of the KKK.

Also, much better statutes.

She strongly considered not voting to confirm him and then she remembered there were no consequences if she did vote to confirm him and everytime she flip flopped she raised massive campaign donations.
