Actually, no. I forgot that my pay is two weeks at a time, so call it 60 hours.

I've occasionally considered purchases add a function of the number of hours worked to earn that money. My fast food costs an hour of work. My nifty you costs two or three hours. Rent costs 30 hours, more or less.

Sometimes it's helpful, mostly depressing.

Isn't the after sex cigarette kind of a trope?

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I've never seen.

I don't want purity tests because we, on the left, are incapable of reaching a consensus on much of anything. If we can't agree to tolerate a limited amount of disagreement with each other, we can't work together on the things we do agree on, and those things tend to be kind of important.

Possible. I'd hardly call that role playing, but I could see it.

OP should take the chance to clear that up for us.

If you're not talking about furries, then you're gonna need to use more words to ask your question. Who is role playing animals, under what circumstances. Are you talking about a game? Are you making political commentary? Street Theater? Help us help you.

I’m tired of pretending their opinion matters.

Are you aware that their vote counts as much as yours? And many of them are in Congress, so their vote counts for a lot more than yours?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to simply excise people without basic empathy from any role of leadership or influence. But until we do that, we have to deal with them.

According to Wikipedia, 1,500 people work there. We could have just given each of those people 100,000 a year for six years, and had a few thousand dollars left over. We could have given 3,000 homeless people $25,000 a year for six years, and made them productive members of society.

Instead, we made a rich Nazi richer.

You aren't wrong, but you need to remember that a lot of people don't give a shit about helping other people. Any argument that uses "good for people" as the basis of argument is going to fail with them.

This collapse didn't start in January.
