When I was broke the only motor vehicle I owned was a motorcycle -- it was significantly cheaper than a car.

This is 100% speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if it checks the length of the subscription when connected to a network, then tracks that with a built in clock. There's also incentive to frequently connect it to a network since the company constantly "updates the algorithm" it uses to detect crashes and deploy.

I suspect it would stop working once you hit the end of whatever period it knows you're "paid up" for.

At least chocolate is water soluble.

Fascists will court any group they can when they're desperate for supporters, even if it's from groups of people they hate. Fascists will do anything that will get them into power.

After that, it's a simple matter of purging the "undesirables" from the party.

Your comment made me have a flashback to my dad getting irritated at me for squeezing the middle of the toothpaste tube.

You're only supposed to squeeze the far end of a metal tube -- pushing product from the very end to the opening. Then as it gets empty you fold/roll up the flat bit at the end. You can even even buy "wringers" designed to assist with that.

We would have probably been using metric from the start, but pirates stole our kilogram.

I wouldn’t want to live close to a dispensary, there’s almost always a “stench”.

I pass by dispensarys all the time and never notice a smell. The only places that smell are those that allow smoking on premise -- which with our state's indoor smoking laws are very rare.

It's no different than tobacco, really.

I'd argue his best performance was in Vampire's Kiss, and a toss up between this scene or this one.

Because they believe in many of the same "traditional values" as nazis -- they're natural allies.

Of course those dipshits don't realize the nazis only want their help now because they're desperate for numbers. As soon as the nazis no longer need their help they're getting their own Night of the Long Knives.

... you do realize lemmy users skew older, and it's not just kids saying "eat the rich", right?

I understand that quote, but these days it's a dumb one. Gone are the days of "settling down" into a bubble once you hit 30.
