Trump is mentioned about a million times, according to the (less redacted) docs searched by a congressman.

Much of that is probably the news articles and gossip Epstein was known to circulate as the walls were closing in. Still, their friendship goes back decades and they were neighbors both in NYC and Florida.


> Bad drivers never miss their turn.

Except when they get in an accident trying to force it. Or when they were too distracted unnecessarily overtaking someone near their turn.


As long as the wreck doesn't go past the exit they, technically, haven't missed it yet.

Because X is becoming a Nazi bar.

Oh yeah

Don't Discord servers have free tier caps? A few of the larger ones I'm on beg for Nitro boosts/packs from premium users for capacity and features.


A lot of discords have hoop jumping for rules or explainers. Then Nitro nags almost immediately and periodically thereafter. Server ops beg for Nitro boosts/packs.

I've gotten through a few of these, but they're not trivial.


But the friend group server won't have hoops, and the other nags while annoying don't act as a barrier to basic use.

> It's not all bleak, especially when you get away from these screens and out into the real world.

Real world seems to be getting bleaker, especially for the young ones coming up today.


Actually the US maintains a Senate and Electoral College because of slavery, and refuses to abolish them for (supposedly) any and every other reason. These systems allow whites in less populous states to exercise outsized power.

US has token eye exams at the BMV. I've never seen or heard anyone fail.

During such a test that I could barely read anything, and afterwards realized I could not read most roadsigns--having relied too much on map apps. A visit to the eye doctor confirmed I shouldn't be driving, so I ordered glasses that same day.

Reporting unsafe drivers in my state is not anonymous. And at one point I had to tell a family member that if I found out they were still driving that I'd report them. (They had 3 accidents in 2 years, claiming it's all the computers in the cars.)


When i first got my driver's license in the US I almost failed my eye exam. They gave me 3 chances and I just barely passed on the third. This led to me finally getting glasses.

Some more context on the South African system, although before it was done at our equivalent to the DMV it now gets done by an optometrist.

I think you can still do it at the 'DMV', this was possible last time I renewed my license about 3 years ago (I don't live in SA anymore tho).

But the eye test machines often broken, so the advice was always to get the test done at an optometrist and they fill out a special form that you take with you when renewing your license.


For context now you need to make a booking at a specific department and must take an eye test with

Stop relying on ~investors~ [the business oligarchy] to solve everything

They're being asked, in this case, to solve a problem that business has already shown able to solve. More competition will also solve that oligarchy problem too.

No, more competition does obviously NOT solve oligarchies. It is what we see RIGHT NOW. It is OUT THERE NOW. Oligarchs buy up competition and either incorporate their ideas or make them disappear if they threaten their established business models.

Why are you keep repeating this myth?

The only relevant player who might break up oligarchies before they become to powerful is the state they operate in.


> Why are you keep repeating this myth?

Why do you write like someone's crazy uncle on Facebook? The caps are inappropriate here, as is the hysteria and hyperbole.

> Oligarchs buy up competition

You realise that those advocating for free markets are against oligarchy, right? That they say that in most, if not all cases, regulatory capture and monopolies are the causes of lack of competition, right?
