don’t forget mods, easy repair, easy piracy, and actually being a functional portable computer in a pinch if you have a docking station

Mike Johnson being a petty, whiny bitch? Next you’ll tell me it’s a day ending in y.

I can’t tell, are they for or against them?

This seems like a pretty strong case against them.

How many times have they done this before, and how many times will they keep doing it? Discussing classified operations over unsecure phones, that is, not inviting reporters to join in. That will never happen again.

We previously didn’t think they were stupid enough to do it once, and yet, they did. “Never” would imply a capability to learn from their mistakes that they do not possess.

It’s adorable you think “fair” matters at all to these people.

If anything, they’ll give him breaks to take emergency shots.

jesus christ they’re dumber than they look, and this administration already regularly looks like morons.

when the CEO is begging shareholders “please don’t sell your stocks”, that is quite possibly the single biggest red flag for any company ever. That is “pull your money out yesterday” territory.

real talk, who was the last president we had that did not bomb Yemen?

It feels almost like a rite of passage for U.S. presidents at this point.

It is far easier to break shit than it is to put things back together, for one.

Fuckin’ weenie.

That white house correspondent’s dinner where Obama joked at his expense.

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, as I highly doubt the aforementioned dipshit parents are reading this Lemmy thread.

I’m saying if the death of their own child doesn’t make them wise up, nothing will, and it’s not anyone else’s responsibility to try and cater to their stupidity by softening the blow. If enduring your own child’s funeral, that you caused, only makes you double down on killing kids, then you hopefully do not have access to any more children to kill. That’s all. Please feel free to explain how that’s “emotional” or “isn’t rational”. I think it’s quite rational.

no, it’s very much on them if they choose to continue being stupid when being stupid cost them the life of their child. It’s not on anyone else.

And if they choose to continue being stupid, to go back to the anti-vax community after the anti-vax community helped them kill their kid, well, we can only hope they don’t have any more kids to kill.

Hold up… i get what you are saying.

Oh, good, you’re not stupid!

[proceeds to strawman some bullshit of us vs them into my mouth]

Ah, nope, nevermind, I had too much hope. See, the time for empathy is before someone starts killing innocent children with their ignorance, not after they’ve already started dying. It’s okay, I forgive your stupidity. Better luck next time, sport, but I have better things to do than try to make random internet strangers less stupid, that’s a you problem and I’m keeping it that way. Bye now! <3

All of that is true.

However, it does say where this kid died. In West Texas. Where there are large swathes of undervaccinated children because of their anti-vax parents.

See how that works? Or is the power of inference beyond you?

So where does it say in the original article that these parents didn’t get their kid vaccinated because they couldn’t afford it? I must’ve missed that. See I’m pretty sure it was because they deliberately chose to leave their kid vulnerable to infectious disease, but if you have evidence proving the contrary (not just an article saying “some people don’t because they can’t afford it” – something actually relating to these specific parents who lost a child, demonstrating that they couldn’t afford it), please, do enlighten me.

I feel sorry for the kid, but at the same time, I hope the funeral is the most painful, drawn out event for their parents, that everyone who comes lets them know exactly whose fault it is that their child is dead. I hope it’s a learning experience for them.

They’re making a profit on the printer too, now

You have no idea how much I want them to just go under already.

It’s somehow worse when you do get the sleep, but your brain has decided to do this in your dreams. You wake up feeling angry and, rapidly, can’t remember half the reason why.

This is the same company that sells an entire printer at a loss, as a semi-disposable item, so you’ll be suckered into buying their proprietary ink cartridges at the low low price of an arm and a dick. Inefficiency? From the company that makes disposable fucking printers? yeah that sounds about right.

and yes, it is bad business, but there are many things that HP does that are “bad business”, and yet they continue to exist like a cancer on the consumer computer hardware market. Again, this is normal for them.
