>Gabe seems like a pretty good guy but he bought a $70m mansion and builds yachts as a side business…

As if that was a counterexample to him being a good guy? Who cares what he buys. It's his money and its legal. The "billionaire bad" brainwashing needs to stop.

Maybe not the most effective but Helldivers rolled back the requirement to link a Playstation account (on PC) after massive outrage and pushback.

Your employer should pay you 5% less then they are legally obligated to. See how flippant you are then.

Pure conjecture, Reddit-coded, seal-clapping bait.

It must be nice getting to live in an area that doesn't have entire subcultures dedicated to guns and crime.

>Excuse me for not being impressed.

That was always going to be the outcome.

>The burden of proof rests upon the person who makes the allegation. "Do your own research" lol.

This isn't a court of law, I'll provide you with as much or as little evidence as I please.

Same with polygraph tests. It's not admissible in court. It's an interrogation tactic designed to give some perceived authority to the police's claims that a suspect is lying and give the suspect a reason to talk more.

Should be illegal.

Yes, let's have no federal immigration enforcement entity in this country, novel idea.

Conversely, arresting people going paddleboarding and filling skate parks with sand was a totally sane reaction. Good thing we didn't overreact to Covid and completely fuck up the economy and the education progress of millions of children.

Your "domain experts" are often chronically incorrect sociopaths.

Let's not even get into the categorical and coordinated censorship campaign.

Shocking that people even support the covid response that happened. Much less make light through smarmy sarcastic shitposting.

Post-Covid I was shocked that skirt steak was $17/lb at my grocery store. Today it is $19/lb.
