Most of the time, the fare thru collect is nowhere near enough to pay for the service they offer. However, partially because is capitalism, they can’t give the service to for free because, well, reasons.

The fare is useful to track how many ride different lines at different times of day stuff like that. Plus, it gives a way to count how many people use the service for the purpose of getting grants and whatnot - which is what actually funds the bus service.

So, if the driver is in a hurry for any reason, he’ll often give you a free ride…cause actually paying the fare is, well, kinda for appearances, really…

I’m pretty sure you have that exactly backwards, ironically…

Anybody dare do a tldr? When the first paragraph says Bros Attacks, a staple of the entire series, are new, my brain kinda melted…

I honestly couldn’t care less about middle class. They’re comfortable. I’m not. Therefore, they don’t need help…

Didn’t remove paywall for me… (Not complaining, just pointing out that they may have found a way around this method, which sux.)

Seriously?? Protecting themselves from any consequences will mean they act in your best interest???

Hey, wanna buy some lakefront property? It’s on the moon, but still… 🤣

I’m not gonna teach my daughters who they are or are not supposed to trust. Because I will never teach my children what they should think, but rather how to think for themselves. I will encourage them to only trust individuals that prove themselves trustworthy, but again, that’s not my decision to make.

They’re not extensions of me; they are distinct, individual human beings. So I certainly hope you will not teach her to be distrustful; that leads to misery and pain, all in the pursuit of something that doesn’t belong to you and never will (her mind is her own, whether you like it or not).

I personally would only use the original phrase to imply what you’re saying. This is why context matters so much I think; some people just use it as a thought terminating cliche, I’m afraid.

First one is saying there’s no point fixing anything, just get over it. Second one saying fixing it might suck, let’s fix it anyway.

Very, very different…

Umm…what??? Lol

So you’re saying the statistically less likely option is the one you think is most likely to have been the case?

Not only is this kind of view dangerous and prejudiced, it is quite simply not supported by the data.

Suzy Cube - it’s a 3d platformer, to me kinda has Super Mario 3d Land/World vibes

Umm…what? Like, seriously - what??

Can I have some of whatever it is you’re smoking???

Your couldn’t throw us a bone by including a link? 😉

That’s okay, I got you covered.

Huh. The idea that a person might look for enlightenment instead of entitlement surprises you?

Oof.

All of that means you cannot simply “send everyone a letter”.

False.

The person casually executing any potential human shield is no less the villain. And funny how every hospital, school, and designated safe zone have enemies hiding there. Heavens sake, if Hamas has those kinda numbers, that would certainly change the terms of the engagement I think.

Politicians in every level of the zionist government have openly said they want to exterminate the Palestinian people. But, oh no, not a genocide! 🤪

Lol. So not a fact.

And that’s actually not relevant, but thanks.

I know, right? My first thought was, “Yeah, that’s how it works…”
