Enough celebrities have died in private aircraft accidents that everyone knows the risks. We shouldn't act like it's a shock. It's a regular loving affair. Intoxicated rich people buy lovely rich people pilots who occasionally crash and kill everyone, or even more often, insist their decent pilots do risky poo poo because they have very important stuff to do and air traffic control and safe procedure can go gently caress itself, because they are important. Some of the best crash themselves, like JFK Junior or John McAfee's nephew

doverhog posted:Are they though? We know from Hugh and Seven of Nine that Borg can become "human" again if removed from the collective. We know from Unimatrix Zero that Borg drones retain some levels of independent thought and memory. Couldn't you make the same argument about the SS? Yeah, maybe a few of those assholes could be saved. We shant lose any sleep about killing the loving Nazis though. gently caress the borg.

Remember as well that the Borg drones (or at least the people they were before their forcible assimilation) are victims of the Collective. The comparison to any other military force, even one which practiced conscription, breaks down.

I think its more designed to gently caress over compulsive spenders since you can make more money from them than the homeless

They rely on cash. So if a store is cashless, oh no, completely inadvertently they've made it impossible for poor people to shop at their store, what a horrible totally unintended consequence!

Yeah like the reason people panhandle or camp at Walmart as opposed to “nicer” places is they’re (typically- your manager may vary) one of the few that won’t chase you off their lot. And businesses like Target absolutely do chase people off so the “ugh, me, Walmart? I’m not one of those” crowd keeps coming. See also: urban businesses paying extra money to make their benches/entries/etc impossible for someone to spend the night on or under.

It's actually because dealing with cash as a business is tiresome and expensive (though it has the extra effect of loving over the poor and homeless and no one much cares that it does)

Anarchism is a specific ideology. Or two, if you count the "anarchists" who think turbocapitalist mad max feudalism is the way forward.

The Fox and the Hound is far and away a sadder movie than Old Yeller. I also think that all kids should watch the Fox and the Hound so they can learn that sometimes friends drift apart. It's a way more important lesson to teach than "loved ones die." That one comes naturally, the other one doesn't.
