What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there’s only two parties, they’re both to the right of center, and they’re both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we’re all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?

Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

That’s only a legal principle - he’s not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.

Well I’m from the US so I’m unfortunately familiar with shit infrastructure. Also unfortunately, our public transportation in NL is a total joke (extremely expensive, dwindling , and unreliable) thanks to privatization and conservative politics. We are very lucky to have excellent bike infrastructure, but the weather makes it extremely inconvenient.

Inflation has hit us too, but not nearly as bad as the US. My grocery bill has essentially doubled and we’re paying €2.25/liter for gasoline ($9.14/gallon!)

But I saw a bag of chips for $12 in Chicago last year and I still haven’t recovered from the shock.

What do you recommend for an RSS app?

I see more and more men wearing fanny-pack-like crossbody bags where I am (Holland). Hopefully it will start catching on in your area!

Or being traumatized from being autistic and getting side eyes, snickers, giggles, eye rolls, scoffs, and bullying whenever you committed some social faux pas.

Definitely not true in all of Europe. We pay in the Netherlands. In fact, I decided to go to school here since I never got to in the US, and found out I can’t even take out a student loan because I’m over 35.

Don’t even get me started on the STAP budget!

I feel like ~1 in 3 people being selfish assholes kind of checks out, though. It’s a trend I really noticed during Covid.
