Who says they don't already? I knew a guy who worked for a major government agency who's job was to look over horrible pictures to try to figure out where they were taken.

I bet the most skilled people do work for them, not just youtube. But talking to that guy, it's a tough job, not for everyone. Instead of a random streetview image it's a scene of abuse, so...

Debt collectors. The businesses took the risk when they loaned money or provided some kind of service on credit.

I don't use debt collectors any more, but I have a construction company and a few times a year people just decide not to pay for their work. If someone really truly refuses to pay I could take them to small claims court, and I have, but it's a ton of work and lawyers won't bother with anything under 10k. I've literally had a judge say "so petty" about me taking someone through small claims for a $1200 they'd been dodging for years So some jerk can stiff me for $1500 and I have basically no recourse. I'm not talking about some impoverished person who I took advantage of, these are people with nice homes who make a habit of not paying bills. I'll work with people who are short on cash and honest.

Even though debt collectors are 0/3 in the times I've used them, it's at least something to fire off a final 'fuck you and your credit'

But he was just talking about engineering things on the internet, as far as I can tell. Doesn't feel like he should need a license for that

Seems like someone on the NC Board of Examiners and Surveyors didn't like being called out so they tried to bully him into stopping and it backfired

“We want tourists that come to enjoy the country and the culture, but not tourists who come for sex.” Hamat Bah, Gambia’s minister of culture and tourism, also stated in a television interview: “If you want a sex destination, you go to Thailand”; a statement for which he later had to apologize

Wild comment

I'm going to guess in most parts of the world heating water is a bigger expense vs getting clean water.

You could choose to feel guilty about wasting heat energy, or just enjoy it knowing the energy had already been spent heating the water for you to enjoy. But screw fresh water! Waste away! It'll stay in the water cycle

I don't agree with his Bart-killing policy... but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy

I'd guess Heart Shaped Box and About a Girl, for starters

I've noticed the same, and it's horrifying when you think about the cost of all those ads and how it's mostly funded by people with gambling problems

I mean, 1.5m is a ton of money, but that's not insane to me for a company with over 9,000 stores

Why does the picture in that article look so fake? Is it just the lighting? The signs look like a terrible photoshop

I just checked back and that picture is gone from the article. It had a crowd of people with 4 or 5 if them holding up signs on what looked like printer paper with messages like "protect our students" but the signs and fonts looked unnaturally crisp, almost like a meme template

The faster songs on this album go so hard. Feeling This, Violence, Stockholm Syndrome and Go absolutely rip. That first guitar riff has so much Tom Morello, the whole into could lead into any RATM song and I wouldn't even question it

I've replaced a lot of my social media time with puzzles. When I have a minute to stop and look at my phone instead of reddit and Facebook I go through wordle, NYTimes crossword mini then Washington Post daily crossword. It usually takes about half an hour to get through those, I don't really need to be looking at my phone idly for much longer than that in a day
