I’m curious as to why you’re using a straw at all.

is it that because you’re at a restaurant?

You should know that by giving most restaurants your patronage, you are contributing to a lifestyle that we all cannot participate in.

You can also use programs like Nicotine+ to download music for free.

Stupid people.

FIFA and its followers are a plague on humanity.

The solution to putting ads in bathrooms is that they can be easily defaced.

Unless China is crazy enough to record their people in the bathroom, which I wouldn’t put past them.

Warms me heart to see people in this thread thinking for themselves and not doing something just because other people are.

You too.

It’s not free, but owning property is huge.

Most of the city people will never own property in the cities they dwell in.

If all you do in a major city is sit in your house and play on your computer, you could do that elsewhere without having to pays tens of thousands of dollars on rent.

They don’t.

That’s why they think cities are the only places in the world worth living. If there’s not an endless sea of shit to waste their money on, they’re lost.

That means they should keep it.

Let me show you.

You can read books for free on just about any general purpose computer.

Why are people doing X stupid thing that makes rich people richer at their own expense?

It’s the herding and conditioning. The sheeple have not woken up.

So many things make so much more sense when we realize this.

I love Amazon.

Their website makes it so easy to look up books for Anna’s Archive.

Wait till you hear of Syd Barrett.

Most of them react like you when faced with their incompetence.

Sorry bud. Everyone doesn’t get a gold star this time.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I get very good deals on my drugs. Way more worth it to me than say, a cup of coffee (which contains a drug.)

I know most people get ripped off regularly, though.

We should still get our facts straight and not rely on hyperbole, which just opens us up to being corrected and looking like idiots who don’t bother to verify what they spout.

If it really is as bad as you say, then we shouldn’t need to embellish it. Stick to the facts and let people form their own opinions.

Thanks for this sanity check.

I looked at the source and noticed, well, it wasn’t anything reputable that I recognized like AP. That usually means they have very little journalistic integrity and have no problem sensationalizing headlines to get clicks.

I would recommend staying away from apple if control over your device is something you value.
