These people believe they are just one crypto rug pull away from being part of the 1%

This argument won’t work on them.

I mean back in the day, there’s a solid chance that shot was way off target.

Oh no, you had to answer two yes/no questions

The worst inconvenience in the world.

Parallel vs serial: there’s usually more than one check out lane open so idk what you waffling about.

Less space is not a convenience for me so idgaf

My local coop has regular check out lanes and it’s in a small town so idk what you waffling about.

Which, as a customer, provide absolutely no value to me.

Because in reality these businesses don’t offer better, more meaningful employment for the people they replace by making the customers work.

It’s just more people in the unemployment fodder.

My local coop refuses to add self-checkout lanes and this is why I shop there even though it’s more expensive than the alternatives.

Fuck corporate greed.

These people lead boring lives and never felt the effects of adrenalin.

At this point it’s no longer self defense, it’s society defense.

You’re talking like the dude was a harmless being who did nothing wrong.

Yes, shooting a human being in the back as they’re moving away from you is bad, however this hypothetical doesn’t apply in this story.

No person got hurt here.

The correct response when shooting a criminal who broke into your home and threatened you is my, indeed, not to laugh, but to reload and keep shooting.

Lol if someone breaks into my home the last thing I’m going to reach out for is a medkit.

The whole ‘medicine’ argument is pointless. There’s plenty of medicine you can (and will) get addicted to if you take them.

The “I can’t deal with my relatives when sober” crowd are just addicts looking to justify their addiction.

The truth is they would get high anyways.

It’s just the addiction talking. These people get high alone at home too.

If I ever need to pick who lives between a family member and you, dear internet stranger, I wouldn’t even bother going to your funeral.

If nobody buys from a polluting company, they die. Or adapt, but usually they die.

Be responsible for your own actions.

These companies exist and pollute because people are buying what they sell.

My mate whinge all day about bad companies ruining the planet and drinks that Danone smart water bullshit.

When your hacked together CPAP sends asbestos directly into your lungs because Bob from maintenance had some spare time to fix it, you’ll be crying about malpractice.

I kind of disagree. Medical devices should be repaired by trained professionals using OEM parts only.

How’d you feel if your pacemaker’s battery started leaking acid into your body because Kevin from accounting had made a diy drone once and he found a good deal on AliExpress specials batteries.

Of course, that means manufacturers should be liable for any issues wrt lack of parts or available repairman.
