Pretty sure he welded himself inside it.

Eh, Heemeyer was an asshole. He was given a few different perfectly reasonable resolutions and refused them all.

“Whoa, slow down there! You’re going to have to take the time to do a study on exactly how much money these deceptive practices will not be able to collect if the deceptive practices are banned!”

Your comment is doubleplusunsmart.

You, I like hate you.

The point of power is power. The point of fear is fear.

“Basically.” Close enough. All they’re doing is administration, all the logistics and fulfillment is handled by someone else.

I do not, but I’ve also seen a lot of people who are mistaken about the aforementioned facts. Since facts matter, I took the opportunity to be clear about them.

It must be noted that this was a civil case, not a criminal one. He was found civilly liable, and there was a finding of fact that he committed sexual assault in a way that anyone would colloquially call rape.

There was never anything about guilty or not guilty.

This is what happens when the people in charge of everything are entirely separated from reality.

The Chinese design-manufacturing-retail pipeline isn’t like what it is in the West. There aren’t nearly as many “bespoke” products made for a single company.

That’s not how it works. Factory makes Thing. Anyone who wants to resell Thing buys it from the factory and labels it BRAND Thing.

The manufacturing environment in China is different. A lot of products are made from an existing design, then anyone who wants to sell those buys them from the factory.

The weird “brand names” are basically drop shippers. People buy Thing, send them to Amazon’s warehouses, pop a storefront.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

I think you meant “reasoning”.

None were overtly racial. Covert racism is fine.

Gee, I wonder why the fascists are in office.

Primaries are where you decide. After that, you choose the least worst. And sorry, a “Democrat that does nothing” is not just as bad as open fascism.

Primaries are over.

Welp, I guess we’ll be getting a fascist then.

Ffs you don’t do that shit from your own computer. You use a zombie.
