This dude was just a crack head whose father happened to own a rig company.
He couldn’t write his own name, basic math skills was a luxury he didn’t enjoy, but he was a genius when it came to fixing diesel engines and hydraulics.
Truly an enigma amoung men.
You joke, but some people are actually that dumb.
I used to work in the oilfield, first day on a new rig with a new company. We were swabbing (pulling fluid samples, super laid back work) and had 2 guys on, 2 guys off.
Sitting in the doghouse our driller yells over to the rig asking what time it is, I check the clock and yell back “About twenty to four” dude puts his hands on his hips like Karen would and starts to glare at me. My push leans out the window and yelled “Two Four Zero” blew my fucking mind.
Few days later he was dropping people off and we were at a new site so he changed pick up time to quarter to six. But in his mind that meant 25 minutes before 6, or 5:35. Needless to say he got there and I wasn’t ready, which as a new roughneck on a crew is a cardinal sin.
Got in the truck and we drove about a block and I apologized and said I wasn’t expecting him so soon. Dude pulled over looked over his shoulder at me and said “How quarters in a dollar, retard?”. I replied “Four?” “Wrong twenty five!”
Needless to say that job didn’t last long for me.
Gotta protect the children from thing like boobs and the word fuck so they can get them started on what really matters, becoming hopelessly addicted to a social media platform to drive advertising revenue.

You dumb bastard, it’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat.
I don’t think there is a regulatory entity policing this issue.
And every real Canadian knows the best coffee in the country comes from small town Esso’s.
The TL;DR historically is that rises in wages led to more spending which increased demand and caused inflation. That’s an incredible oversimplification obviously, but that’s the meat and potatoes of it. People have more money to spend, companies can charge more, your individual dollars become worth less and less over time.
Nowadays with wages stagnating (even reducing in some situations) and immigration being so prevelant we have a situation of more people having less to spend but overall more money being injected into the economy having a similar inflationary impact.
Don’t misread what I wrote and think I am blaming immigration for the current situation, it is entirely the regulatory bodies who dropped the ball by encouraging immigration with no proper economic plan to handle the consequences.
As a poor person am I ever glad the conclusion they drew was we made people so poor we can’t afford to lose this fund.
Absolutely unfair, not fair like violating the charter rights of children by making it a law to purposely misgender them.
Fuck this Hank Hill look-a-like shitbag.
Are they going to claim that as a $13 write off or a $1400 write off?
I will reiterate my point. This outrage is not rooted in some deep seeded hatred towards AI, it is because Disney claimed they didn’t want it used on their streaming platform and then immediately used it to market one of their flagship products.
I think people are mad because they banned technology on the platform and then clearly continued to use it.
Rules for thee, not for me.
It’s crazy how fucked up Apple is when you speak objectively outloud about their products and policies.
'Murika Fuck Yeah
You mean like the lightning cable?
But is has TiTaNiUm~
My breaking point for paying for something that I could otherwise get for free is convenience. Doesn’t even need to be a lot, I just refuse to pay for a product that artificially more of a hassle than the identical product that I can obtain for free.
It’s not so much that I want a superior product, it’s that I refuse to pay money for an inferior alternative.
The article I’m assuming you didn’t read cited several similar laws being considered by other countries.
This comment deserves Lemmy Gold
I can’t wait for people who don’t have enough to fund the lavish lifestyles of people who spent their entire lives with too much because it’s not their fault we didn’t pull up our boot straps.
