There's a reason the rings around Saturn were discovered over 400 years ago, and the rings around Uranus were discovered in 1977.

I'm sure what the NatPo has to say about this is honest and in good faith.
No? I said the opposite of that.
The question I was answering was "why aren’t there more employee owned companies?" And the answer is it's a lot harder to get seed money for those, because the rent seeking parasites don't want them to exist.
They don't fulfill the fantasy of being a rent-seeking social parasite.
If he had put himself in the trailer, the doors would have to be open. You'd think the cops could at least be arsed to look inside in that case.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if "checking the tractor" just involved knocking on the window and shining a light in, menacingly.

Dear god. Listen to yourself.
Like, straight up, if you're playing apologetics for a fucking cop who sexually assaulted someone by trying to well-akshually rape, you need to deeply probe your motivations there. Because I promise you, you don't have good ones.
That's what we get when we have a punishment system, rather than a justice system. This guy has had his feel bad, so everyone's square!
Public safety? No thank you! We're here to trade mildly reduced visual clarity for an eye!
I mean, that's fine if you live in a place that has those kinds of amenities. In some places, Loblaws is cheapest.
Canada has many food deserts.
Member co-op grocery stores used to be cheaper than the private, corporate stores, but they came with that barrier to entry that kept many people away. And the corporate stores continued to build capital, so they could afford better locations, more convenient parking, etc. Now, co-ops are niche, and need to operate as specialty stores because they were squeezed out of the market.
We could have affordable grocery co-ops again, but it would take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears at this point.
Cool. You... don't have to use it, or any sites that leverage it. But the Fediverse is an open network, and to that extent it should be able to support everyone's needs. But if we want the Fediverse to be anything other than an internet enthusiast circlejerk, rather than a backbone technology for the internet, then supporting a wide variety of use cases is necessary.
To make things more confusing, responding to an invitation to drinks with "k!" might be ok, depending on who's asking and the context.
If it's your roommate asking, and they're doing it because there's a sporting event or because drinks are an established ritual, it'd be fine. If it's your boss, or a new (potential) friend or colleague, a possible romantic interest, or a close friend and it's not something they usually do or invite you out for, then those situations have a lot more weight, and expect a more fulsome and engaged reply.
