That's refreshing from the normal News cycle.

Thanks for sharing. BBS's and epic pinball are the reasons for my interest in computer as a kid. I would watch my friend go on BBS's and play text based game and download ASCII art all day to the point I learned a lot the got my first real computer (386 sx), I had a coco3 as a kid but that was just BASICS with no floppy or tape to load or save programs.

The 386 was such a new world of possibilities especially with software downloaded from BBS's, took ages but got lots of kool games and music files (.mod) etc... of course porn for a young teen was also nice lol.

For fucks sake why isn't all assitive devices open source already. Making profit over disabled people misery is such a evil thing ! The capitalist are so fucking out of touch it's crazy. Kids dying, disabled people pressed for every penny they have etc... how the fuck did we let things go this bad.

If a parent would give their kids blank plane tickets to anywhere in the world, and the kids get hurt in another country. Would we blame the plane pilot, the airship company or the parents? Cause sending your kids on the internet alone is the exact same ! It should always be the parents who care for their kids to control and limit their exposure to internet not society as a whole.

I gotna letter from Toyota that says I will get another letter later because the car might be dangerous for my health and safety without saying what it is and now I have to drive my car not knowing what could happen.

It's been more than a month and I still don't have any other letter with information and/or resolution.

Thanks Toyota, I already am a very anxious person and now I have to rrive everyday with the knowledge my car has something dangerous to it but don't know what.

Some may do it because of their love of animals and nature. But they will quickly realize that it's just another business when they see customers paying 150$ for a 1h tour wich the guide makes only 7$ on and the boss cashes all the rest.

Minimum wage for three month probation then it's experience, so I bet NOT a livable wage either after that.
