You sound like a bully in some 1980s comedy. Lol

Keep telling me how mad you are. I love it.

I’m sorry to hear of your troubles.

Do you need a hug?

I delight in causing you pain. Please tell me more about how I hurt you.

I feel sorry for you

I think you should take your own advice. Just because you lack the intelligence to understand my comment doesn’t mean I’m the one to blame.

Blocked for having shit for brains

Mass emailed didn’t exist in 1969 nor in 1985.

Wherever you went to school, those teachers should be shot.

Maybe it’s just because I’m so focused on my own issues as a US citizen… But how the hell did some Australian Christofascist group get this powerful? Like, the RIAA and MPAA combined couldn’t get the United States government to make this much movement on “objectionable content” (piracy at the time, and also now, and all of the time between then and now), but even the crypto fascists of yesterday year couldn’t get this much traction. Probably because people like Frank Zappa and Fred Rogers came forth to criticize the ridiculousness and the consequences of such a position and search policies.

And 16 years later:

STAND UP!!! FIGHT BACK!! Citizen complacency is the most powerful weapon the fascist have – – relying on that you will be paralyzed with fear and do nothing to stop them.

RISE UP! RESIST! REVOLT!!

And show us the fucking Epstein files already, you fucking rapist, con man, felon, pedo, traitor!

Imagine if they cared this much about the Epstein files…

PS also Epstein files

Now all I need is a droid that speaks the binary language of moisture vaporators…

Large companies also make massive profits because of the scale they work on. Matching 401(k) contributions? It doesn’t need to be an order of magnitude larger for it to make a huge difference. Simply doubling my 401(k) is a big deal.

And of course they get a “ball rate“ on payroll taxes, especially for companies who have over 1000 employees or over 5000 over 10,000. They experienced this by having a lower tax rate for larger businesses.

Not to mention that they often pay more and pay a steady wage due to the fact they can afford it. Freelance contractors make less, and work isn’t guaranteed to be steady.

Businesses, particularly word businesses, operate on much larger profit margins than most of any freelance contractor.

Most of those expenses are mitigated by the fact that companies buy them in bulk on huge plans. As a freelance contractor myself, I pay a lot more for insurance than I did when I worked for a company. And a retirement plan? Benefits? Lol.

Prototypes are not allowed out in the wild anymore. There was a massive shift in policy after the iPhone 4 incident.

I remember when the iPhone 4 leak happened because of that phone prototype that got left behind. Everyone felt really bad for the guy, and it was widely believed that it was completely by accident.
