...to justify giving $55B to Musk. Not even advertising their products or services. Just to satisfy Musk.

Angel lust is a common phenomenon. This is not entirely implausible.

That's exactly the kind of question this community was created for.

Of course. He's in rich people's prison. They get all the perks.

Which is a travesty, because I slept on that show for that exact reason. Then I got curious and watched it. The prison episodes were far beyond anything I expected. This is what all the other live action shows are missing. Actual consequences...

Yes, most Canadians don't mind paying for more services. Tell that to the politicians actively defunding health care while introducing private for-profit clinics that cost more than public health care both to the province and to the patient, just like Doug Ford is doing right now. Public services only work when we elect people willing to make them work. Remember this the next time you go to the polls.

At first you were complaining that you were paying money for a service, and now you're complaining that you'd rather pay money for a service. If it's a government service, you'll have politicians trying to defund it just like they are with health care, or sell it off like Ontario did with Hydro One. If it's a government regulated private service, it doesn't have to deal with that, but it needs a way to fund itself. Pick your poison...

If you don't want unsolicited commercial mail, you can always contact your local post office and request to be added to the no flyers list. Just because you don't like flyers doesn't mean that mail delivery isn't important when it matters.

You're not paying a fuck ton of money. Canada Post is a separate entity from the government and is a self-sustaining business that receives no money from the government.

Unsolicited commercial mail is paid for by the company sending it. All mail is paid for by the people sending it. It doesn't cost you anything to receive it. And when it really matters, like those "rare" correspondence that contain your drivers license, or insurance slips, or your health card, or your doctor's appointments, or even your small parcels from eBay, I'm sure you want those as soon as they come in. You should care about regular mail delivery. Because once you lose it, it's never coming back.

So the person that complained their competition is beating them because they deliver packages on evenings and weekends is now complaining that mail, which is essentially small parcels that are paid for accordingly, are delivered too often. Contract negotiation time always brings out the most interesting stories...

Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it "quality time", and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.

I pointed out self-preservation to point out that vegans don’t go around attacking poor people and don’t expect people to keep their principles in those situations. I made a choice I don’t expect other people to make.

Then literally the very next sentence, you contradict yourself.

I point my criticisms at the people I know in real life who shop at the exact same stores I do and make similar amounts of money, but still use poor people as an excuse not to change their own behavior.

You claim to be poor, claim to not attack people who are poor, then chastise people who are poor for not making the same choices that you do. You are a hypocrite. Have a nice day.
