Theoretically they wouldn’t have internet access if a previous occupant set them up unless one of your neighbors has an unsecured AP. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding you and you’re saying you set them up on your wireless network after you moved in. Still a good move to get rid of them but I wouldn’t be as concerned about them if the only AP they were set up to use was no longer present.

To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

How else are we going to know who is at the door? I mean, I guess we could open it but that’s boring

How is this argument different from “it’s not the governments job to provide healthcare / education / social services”

People tend to classify not being primarily driven by emotion as a disorder of one kind or another. Personally, I think being overly emotional is a major contributing factor to many societal issues. The cold, rational brain of a so called psychopath is more useful than that of the emotionally driven rube who can’t think of things in terms other than how it makes them feel. Losing empathy is a problem but the rest is a net benefit imo. I don’t think much, if any, emotion is required for empathy though.

The point is that you don’t casually go about your routine during a civil war

IIRC they moved Ross out of state. So yes, he’s not in jail but he’s not exactly lounging at home either.

I don’t think IT guy, or at least the equivalent people in my life, would be supportive to the point that they would actively involve themselves in a shooting war in support of Trump, which is what this hypothetical scenario would turn into.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about conservatives it’s that they will start to pay attention once something impacts them personally. They are fine with the lies when it’s about some abstract person some other place but when it involves someone they know or happens in their town they will change their tune quickly. Of course not all of them but enough to matter. These kinds of people prioritize familiarity and perceived stability over just about anything else. As long as things are stable enough that they can maintain most of their routines they won’t think too deeply about anything. This kind of event, and the ensuing chaos, would force them to take a deeper look at things in a way that they’re currently too comfortable to be forced to confront.

What server are you playing?

It is hard if you’re lazy and you’ve conditioned yourself not to shop anywhere else. It’s pretty easy if you care about the impact your purchasing habits have on the world. We all know where most people fall on that spectrum.

Let’s get it boys and girls. I’m ready

Who, Trump?

What are you referring to when you say basic brute force protection?

You don’t ask about salary? I hope that means you had that discussion before the interview and not that you’re just hoping it’s worth your time

I get your point but Bioshock and Avatar seem pretty out of place in that list

Ah, a fellow bread bro

Do you have kids? “Because I said so” doesn’t usually come out of nowhere. It’s a response of frustration, usually because that conversation has been had multiple times already.

Because they want corporations to do their job for them of holding the government accountable.

Yeah but all the other people drove off

What am I missing? As far as I can tell this is a great example of several groups of people successfully outrunning a fire.
