So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.
And even when they ARE "punished", their profits far exceed the fine, which IS their only punishment.
If the punishment for a crime is just a fine, it's only a crime for the poor.
While not inherently religious, they come from a religious building.
Besides, I'd argue that If it were simply about being a clock, they wouldn't all be going, every single day, competing with each other for the most ridiculous "music" at noon that can last up to 3 minutes.
I live near a town with a street that was named "church street", not because the church was on it, but seven. The town as a whole has at least 17 that I know of.
About half of them have bells, and of those, 5 ring every hour on the hour all day and night, one rings every hour from 8am to 8pm, two or three ring 3x a day (sunrise, noon, sunset) and the others either don't have bells or don't use them regularly enough for me to notice.
I can hear the chiming from my back yard, which is several miles away from the city limits.
I don't know how people put up with it, honestly. It's nothing to do with my dislike for religion in general, I just hate all that noise, and would not be able to live close to them.
I do think my town is a bit of an anomaly though.
In fact, I insist.
The fact that people would rather see their taxes bomb a brown person's house instead of building 10 is sickening.
Half the time when you see someone walking around with the wrong amount of pips, it's just delicious street corn
Dude... It's SALT.
Actually, having been on reddit for over a decade before I left, I'd agree that there is a superiority complex present on reddit when someone asks for clarification on an acronym.
Without fail, if someone used acronyms that might be considered by some to be "common knowledge", and another user asks what that means, they'll get down votes and sometimes even a "are you joking? Everyone knows it means blah blah blah" or similar comment.
I once saw a person get over 50 down votes for asking "what does ETA mean?" when the OP meant "edited to add". I had never seen anyone use it to mean something other than "estimated time of arrival" and was mildly confused by the "ETA" at the top of the comment. Not one single person explained what it meant. Just down votes. I had no idea either at the time, and didn't care enough to do some light searching.
I'd say the business ones are dependent on where you work. I've never worked in a corporate setting where I'd imagine they're more common, so I can't really comment on that part.
I mean, you're wrong about the intro, but ENT still gets a HELL YEAH from me.
(the intro is a jam, but it's so out of place for me I can't enjoy it while binging, I usually listen to it in the car a few times while watching the show)
The original headline was something like "Cuomo says he's moving to Mexico if Mamdani wins"
But damn do I wish he would do it anyway.
Nah, I think I'll just continue to smoke and vape to an unhealthy degree in order to disassociate from the banal horrors of modern day. If I keep myself mildly baked and consuming a steady stream of star trek and Stargate, I'll keep myself from having thoughts.
