    I mean… you’re only explaining why insurance is a scam, not why someone would expect coverage.

    You’re right in that anyone expecting insurance to cover this doesn’t understand the first thing about insurance, but that’s because insurance is a fucked up garbage industry full of grifters.




  • Eh. Schools are directly beholden to laws regulating how much anyone can have input on a child. All of the helicopter parents are directly fucking over school staff for disciplining the trouble students who have no idea what authority even means, let alone what police can do to them should they start to genuinely fuck around.

    We should both understand how the autistic and otherwise socially aware and perhaps anxious children behave. They might see segregation. They might see quite a lot of chiding asshole teachers, but so long as we allow words to be spoken and shared in honesty, they should have a navigable time through the scholastic system.


  • I mean… maybe in super shitty models? IIRC, it mostly just nukes itself at 100% power, which seldom crests 800F in the actual oven part, which won’t even necessarily see an iron rack glowing red, let alone any respectable alloy or ceramic coating.

    Definitely would be far less than surprised if some shitfuck capitalist designed an oven that would cook the control bits, which should be a whole different question.


  • and yet I remain unconvinced that a significant portion of his sycophants understand that higher prices are merely the beginning of his idolatric shitshow. Most have merely come to the end of their pitifully short attention span.

    My greatest fear is that all of this is merely over cost of living, and after establishment dems snuff any meaningful change, we’ll be right back to fighting the fascist de jure after Trump slumps into his grave.

    Unless (and yes, it IS a big unless that I desperately hope is merely the ghosts of the past) the Dems enact meaningful change, within the next two years, it’ll be right back to clown A vs clown B for 2028.



  • Oh nononono, this is how capitalists, and free enterprise types before them (and let’s be real; a lot of royalty, too), always were. There has always been greedy fucks trying to get as much wealth out of every encounter they could. Though capitalism normalized it for the average Joe.

    Just look up “company towns” for one example of how shitty they have already been in the past. They’ve always strived for normal people owning nothing.

    The only reason it seems like the past twenty years is because during the previous fifty years, the capitalists were heavily regulated, unions were strong (after fighting and literally dying for much of the nice things we enjoy today like a five day work week), and the ultra-wealthy were taxed to hell and back.

    There will always be greedy selfish fucks that must see number go up. The world is slowly re-learning that they are the problem, not the solution.
