Rats with tight black leather get laid the most. I’m calling it now.

I have a friend who’s a volunteer EMT and has basically the same story. Lots of repeat customers, and some people get all pissy after Narcan because it killed their high.

Some of the reason is indeed due to fuckery such as companies intentionally making things difficult or illegal to repair, however part of it is also due to economic reasons. If you’re trying to assemble something in the most economical way possible, you’re probably not going to go out of your way to also make it more repairable. You’re going to use single-use fasteners like rivets, glue, tack-welds, etc. - all things that are cheap to assemble the first time, but at the expense of more difficult disassembly later on.

In addition, diagnosing problems may be expensive depending on the appliance or machine. Would you spend four hours of your time repairing a dishwasher that could be replaced for $300? For some people it may be worth it; for some, not. I personally will spend quite a bit of time trying to repair something rather than replace it, however that’s more of an ideological choice rather than an economic one.

We’ve had one fascist party, yes. But what about second fascist party?

I played around with incomes in the $25K-$50K range and came up with similar numbers to yours. Basically, someone in that range who makes most of their income from tips stands to save anywhere from $1K-$3K, which could be significant. As AOC pointed out though, that could quickly turn into a net loss if you lose Medicaid benefits.

I have to imagine that many people living off tips aren’t making a whole lot of money, and consequently aren’t currently paying much fed income tax anyway. How much money are they really going to save from this?

Got to pay the troll toll to get the couch hole.

Slightly old by now, but Portal and Portal 2 remain two of the best games I’ve ever played. Gameplay is intuitive and linear, and doesn’t require grinding or building up resources. I thought the difficulty increased appropriately as well.

Bill who? Didn’t think he was relevant anymore.
