I get the sentiment, and by no means are the reservations good or something that should've been how it played out, but I do feel like putting them on the same level as ICE centers and concentration camps downplays just how bad those latter two really are/were.

Really wouldn't be that hard, they could point to several passages in the Bible that could justify him being a rapist and paedophile because they took it wildly out of context. IIRC Mary was something like 13 when she's was betrothed to Joseph.

The Bible contradicts a lot about how these guys handle stuff while invoking it, but that's one area where, because of the times in which it's referencing, there are examples that fit their narrative. Honestly I'm surprised they haven't used that already, but it's probably because none of them have actually read it.

Another way to look at it is them trying to pit everyone against each other. "How much money will it take to get the 99% to turn on one of their own?"

I mean, they deserve to make a liveable wage regardless of whether someone tips.

I might call the non-emergency line for things, like if my car was stolen or house broken into. I think the only time I'd call the emergency line is if I felt actively in danger.

Calling the police is a lot like firearm training, never call them on something you don't intend to kill.

So this is the 'mechanical hound' that RayBradbury was referring to in Farenheit 451.

I hate the ones that are listed as remote, but when you read deeper it says remote - in x location, if there was a way to filter those out of searches, it would be convenient.

If they do it like Paramount I'm all for it. I like just throwing on the Star Trek channel rather than deciding what episode of which series I want to watch. That's part of why I get so much use out of Plex's Live TV channels. Only difference is paramount doesn't have ads on their channels

I mean if they've been there for two years I'm sure that means they've learned how to purify water at least to a drinkable state, but also, has the rescue beacon even been working.

I bet the dude never actually turned it on and has just pretended he did, playing the long game to get the lady to wanna spend time with him.

Are you referring to the foundation president Mark Surman or the corporation CEO Laura Chambers? She seems to be an interim position holder, so I guess whatcha referring to?
