No, but it is raising some alarm bells.

No, but I found Waldo.

I haven't actually seen it, but I hear this was pretty awful.

I mean... They're not fucking wrong.

Maybe, but as I always say, today's "crazy conspiracy theory" is tomorrow's news.

Only if you're inclined to believe the conspiracy theory first.

Doesn't mean plenty of them don't know or care that he's trying to put microchips in people's brains.

That's a weird argument.

It's not an argument for going to prison, it's a commentary on the deplorable state of American society.

Suicide is even cheaper, should we recommend that?

You think people haven't considered and even exercised that option for that very reason?

incarceration is not an experience most people enjoy...

If the point of prison is to remove joy, then why not just have convicts play No Man's Sky?

But seriously, should that even be the point? Isn't the point of having a justice system a bit more nuanced than that? Shouldn't our aim be to create a better society in general? Not simply through mere incarceration, but also education and mental health care?

Don't we owe it to the members of society who have been failed by society to lift them up when possible to a place where they no longer need to subvert and disrupt society's rules for the sake of their own survival? Don't we owe it to the rest of society to provide a path to a productive life for so of its citizens, regardless of our previous unwillingness or inability to do so?

It's definitely cheaper to live in jail than have to work at a job and pay rent. At least in the US it is.

This may no longer be true, but when I had my own Sam's membership it was cheaper to get the business club card than the regular you imply is for the poors. They did zero checking that the business even existed, you only had to list a business name.
