Wait, you’re telling me that reinvesting in the business instead of increasing dividends and executive pay increases profits in the long term?
Preposterous!
At your service.
Out of context and from another speaker I would interpret that statement as “I’ve had longstanding connections with this guy. Watch out, he’s a perv but to a degree that’s publicly tolerable. Watch out, he’s got a thing for young girls. All of that has to be tolerated because he’s socially connected.”
Given the speaker, though that between the lines reading may be giving too much credit.
I believe the connection is aviation.
Or it could be the thousands of grape vines planted on the hill…
Didn’t realize it was a vineyard. Neat.
Why do you think I’m hanging around this shit hole?
Reddit, also famous for people complaining and leaving the platform because of the ads.
Bro, you can’t say that to people. No means no.
“I can take things from those people that are different from me because I’m physically stronger than them and might makes right. You should do the same.”
Most municipalities have a non-emergency line to handle things like this. Road obstructions, noise complaints, and the like may well be handled by 911 operators, but calls to the non-emergency line are handled as the lowest priority.

Your “humblest user” award is in the mail.
Plotline? You’re giving this low effort, meaningless shit too much credit.
Yes, I’m sure your mother really has her finger on the pulse of nerd pop culture when it comes to nomenclature.
“I asked my mommy” isn’t exactly a compelling argument.
Who would have thought that a thing called a “comic” would be funny?
It’s not like serious works of fiction using the same format would need a separate term like “graphic novel” or anything. That would never happen.
Parent here. It’s always the parents. The biggest problems with young people are typically caused by lack of parental involvement and are next to impossible for schools or society at large to solve.
The catch is that any public figure or institution saying that out loud is more or less committing suicide. Just like I’m about to be roasted alive on here for saying it.
Shitty, inattentive parents do not want to hear that they need to do better. Parents who didn’t plan ahead and just shove their kid in daycare don’t want to hear that they should have moved to a cheaper metropolitan area so they could work less and spend more time raising their kids. Parents who went off half cocked and had kids in unstable relationships don’t want to hear that they shouldn’t have done that knowing they wouldn’t be able to stay together in the long term.
Nobody is allowed to say that out loud, you have to read between the lines.
The longer one spends on Lemmy the more untreated mental illness one finds.
