The rich don't stay rich without peasants to work for them and buy their shit. If everyone else dies or leaves, the rich are in trouble too.

Hell yeah, one of my top life goals is to get sacked by goths

Except pi isn't a variable. It is a known value that we refer to as pi for convenience, and pi is a fundamental aspect of how a circle is. Saying "let pi equal 5" is all fine and well but is physically impossible, you will not be determining the volume of a cylinder if you let pi equal 5, because the ratio of a circle does not equal 5, it equals 3.14

I mean.... Technically speaking the guy didn't really hurt anyone else... I don't know that I'd call him a terrorist over this. Stupid? Maybe. Misguided? Most definitely. But if the only person he hurt is himself I don't think that's grounds to be called terrorism. Frankly I think a person should have the right to set themselves on fire if they want to. Same way they have the right, technically, to eat a bullet in the garage or take a long fall with a short rope. Nobody wants to see it happen, and it is "illegal" in such a fashion that emergency services can come legally enter your home without permission to prevent a suicide in progress, but the right to self harm should be covered under bodily autonomy. I'm not going to idolize this guy but I don't think his name should be stricken from history as though this was some heinous act of terrorism. He aimed to sacrifice his own life and no one else's to bring visibility to his protest. I may not agree with it but I think you should be allowed that.

Unfortunately that's more likely a strike against them than in their favor

You are being blackmailed. This is no different than having the boys show up at your front door demanding protection money. Pay us and nobody (read: us) will break your legs. Pay us and nobody will steal your data.

Ah yes, the Balatro calendar. I play a King of Diamonds, which triples the number of days in June and removes October.

Yeah they won't speed up shit, that requires investment in infrastructure. They'll just slow down all existing lanes by 40%, blame it on something unrelated, and then charge you 2.5x as much as you used to pay to get your original speeds back.

I didn't even think of that as a possibility, but damn that seems more and more likely the more I think about it. The only way to prevent him from repeatedly shooting himself in the foot is to literally drug him into unconsciousness. I completely believe that, I've heard him talk before. Hot damn.

Love ya, Squid. I know we can always count on you to deliver the trombone when it's relevant. I love seeing that in here.
