A raccoon bit me once. Honestly I probably had it coming since I was in his turf (the garbage), but really? I haven't bitten anyone since I was like 14

Fuckin ouch

@abc15 Hooray for private equity ruining everything once again!

Prices went up, quality went down, everyone I know stopped going. It was once a place I went daily.

Genuinely hoping for Angie’s owners to swoop in, I’d be back in a heartbeat

@Stygian32 @kakerman23 @faegoth_ Good point! I was trying to come up with any interpretation that wasn't just a naked lady lmao.

An incel could probably represent lust, envy, wrath, and sloth tbh. I could make an argument for pride and gluttony too now that I think about it.

@FuckKoroks Who dumped a plate of spaghetti on that poor woman’s head

@shesrightshow Damn if only there were some kind of medical care system that was available to everyone that could help you with your lungs…

Sounds like socialist bullshit to me though, so keep at the e-begging instead!

@aleksandarfatic Bro I’m with you but there were never Indians in America. Those were native Americans. They were called Indians by dumb colonizers.

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@kakerman23 @faegoth_ Lust could be represented by a caricature of an incel.

Someone who is desperate for sex without interest in the other aspects of a person that make them human. Because they “deserve” it.

That’s not nearly as attractive as the typical depiction though!

@shonson_dev @vozercozer If you’re a dev you really should understand how impressive this was *for the time it was made*

You can’t compare new software running on consoles at the end of their lifecycle to the PC you have fond memories of building that also had far superior hardware.

@GooberInternet @cloudyweatheryy That was a vintage comedy prop!

@pvncture_ritual Do mailmen get these piercings for free?

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@goatmonty Could just save the panels you like, might find a use for them later! Hell save the ones you don’t like too. Might change your mind

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@jcmorris1970 @fauxfresh “And are steal millions”?

Sounds like you need one of those learing centers bud!

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@BowenMcCulloch @seancdub @AmericanAir Cool so you’re just an entitled asshole who’s fine with enshittification for everyone else because you’re not personally affected. Fuck off then!

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@BowenMcCulloch @seancdub @AmericanAir Sucking dick for airlines for no reason is certainly a choice. You gonna put up the $90 since it’s no big deal?

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@matthwatson @supermega This is so fucking disrespectful. Why would you put Weezer on this list?

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@Jimjam999_999 Audibly gasped watching you drop this 😭

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@MarkGabriele22 @esjesjesj What do you even mean by "normalize returns"? What does that look like?

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@MarkGabriele22 @esjesjesj That'd be lovely, but it just won't happen in a way that benefits normal people.

Think Lyft and Uber. They disrupted the taxi industry, a mature business.

It used to be cheap when it had plenty of venture capital, now it's expensive as hell.

Prices never come down. Ever.

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@MarkGabriele22 @esjesjesj for the consumer. When I was growing up it was a cheap, affordable option. But because the green line kept going up, they kept making it worse!

In *theory* you're correct about a lot of this, we actually agree. In practice it just doesn't work that way.

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@MarkGabriele22 @esjesjesj See that last point about corporations getting more "productive" is actually what I have a problem with.

Productivity is usually measured by profits which are a result of stuff like shrinkflation.

For example, McDonalds has gotten considerably worse in terms of value

1/2

[Jake Roberts @Levinarcc]

@dadebo427 @MarkGabriele22 @esjesjesj Take a look at what you just said mathematically.

Of the 160,000 people employed/have been employed at his companies, 4,400 are millionaires. That's 2.75%~ of the people doing the actual work.

He's worth $695 billion.
That's 695,000 millions.
Doesn't 4,400 seem kinda low?
