I thought the Ohio Department of “Rehabilitation” and Correction was bad. A whole dollar for a plain text email of very limited length in the 21st century. What a shame.

Disconnecting incarcerated people increases the problems of institutionalization and further alienates them from important social networks that provide emotional support while incarcerated and will provide a higher chance of success with reintegrating following release.

Prison email/messaging systems are also an absolute gouge.

The people who profit from incarcerated people are scum. The government officials who have privatized any single aspect of the judicial system are also scum. “Justice” that generates fortunes for anyone can’t possible be a real justice for a society.

Yep, that’s my goal. I’m going to check all of these projects out. Thanks for the recommendations.

I’ve been shopping for some sort of cross platform (namely iOS / Android) service like this or Apple’s Find My Friends that I’d could have some assurance that this kind of content would be kept safe and private. The search continues …

The number of times that this article suggests that “the design” or that it’s expensive is why Cybertruck drivers are getting harassed suggests these people live in fantasyland. If Ford or BMW had made this thing, none of this would have been happening. Having said that - the design is gross.

I think OP’s “jk” is the important part here. They (meaning NRA leadership) do believe the Second Amendment exists primarily to allow the country’s citizenry to defend itself against a tyrannical government. I don’t think they believe the government that is happening right here is tyrannical, so they’re not hypocrites. Just because you think it is doesn’t mean they do.

As another commenter on this thread pointed out - they’re misogynistic. Just because they have a subsection of their website for lady gun owners, doesn’t mean that they think that women are equal to men. They are also racist (see Philando Castile and the NRA’s total lack of action on the murder by the state of a legal gun owner). LGBT folks? Indigenous people? People outside of USA’s territory that are on the receiving end of US state policy? Forget all of them entirely, despite tyrannized (by my measure).

As the NRA leadership belongs to a class of people (wealthy, White, male, probably cishet) who are not harmed by current GOP policies, actions, and stated future goals - no need for an armed revolution.

I type all of this as someone that thinks oppressed people should absolutely have access to firearms to defend themselves. The NRA does not represent the proletariat.

Me: this interacting with an Internet stranger is going well. Me: notices RampageDon is on a .ca server Me: Ah, I bet that’s it.

Forgive me, I didn’t mean to leave anyone with the impression that there was any attempt at logic from antivaxxers.

My point is that the industry that rakes in riches on the suffering of the sick has left ample reasons for people to distrust it and not believe anything that it says.

I’ve got a family member who is not getting their daughter the HPV vaccine because of “the lies”. That same family member? She barely survived a cervical cancer that was likely there because she was HPV positive. No logic there at all.

Up hill conversation to get people who are against vaccines to trust a predatory for profit medical industry that has given us all reason to distrust. I’m someone that relies on herd immunity, so please get you and your kids vaccinated, but I understand where people are coming from even though they’ve come to trust baseless theories that are based on intentional ignorance.

I wish the law worked that way, but there is no technicality that violating an oath of office triggers a resignation. Resignation is resignation.

Fuck that.

Was hoping that guy was going to meet some success at getting geriatric, right-wing Democratic incumbents primaried out. Would be nice to have a near right or even centrist party for once in my life in the USA.

Personally, I’d like the entirety of the United States to buy local from all types of restaurants instead of letting corporations pave over our regional food cultures.

If the question is not installing Windows on your own hardware, I’d be willing to say “No problem,” for most circumstances. Not only are campus computers with required software on them, I’m sure you’ve got a testing center available for Windows mandatory exams. Also - I work in a modest community college that has a virtual desktop system available to students at no cost that has Windows and plenty of software titles required by various courses.

I wonder if data going into the hands is also wireless when they’re attached. Seems like a rather critical set of functions to go with wireless instead of a hard connection. Maybe wireless fidelity has improved enough that concerns about things like interference aren’t as big as they used to be.

Growth imperative. Greed will never be satiated.

But then all of the people in Greenland won’t work! Remember when the United States gave us all in the midst of the COVID pandemic and none of us returned to our jobs and now all live on yachts? This would be even worse!
