I’m American and I drink maybe 6 beers a year but damn do I want this

Ha, jokes on you! They have the super advanced Grok AI to help them with their case!

Just wait until you see them cite a case that doesn’t exist. Then you’ll really be sorry for calling them noobs.

Damn…My gay neighbors never gave us baked goods…

Nobody is taking a luxurious distant holiday period. We’re talking hypothetically

Pretty much yeah

Not enough to be “disappointed” that people aren’t talking about the climate implications of traveling, no. I wouldn’t judge someone for taking a single vacation.

Bringing it up just feels like moral grandstanding. Let people have fun answering the hypothetical.

Wow almost like people don’t feel the need to moralize a hypothetical asklemmy question

I totally misread your comment, my apologies

I’d wager more people are worried about their loss of income than making the boss an extra 50 cents, though

I had gay neighbors one time and they were exactly like straight neighbors

“I might get fired if I give a paid item away for free” is a completely reasonable thing for a minimum wage worker to worry about.

I agree with the customer, of course, but let’s not pretend that it’s bootlicking when people have bills to pay

Super bad

Any Adam Sandler movie from the past 20 years

Literally the only one I could come up with, though, so it doesn’t take away from your point

I swear this keyboard is getting worse and worse with its autocorrect

Not really when the windows in my house are nowhere near my neighbor’s. My condo had a central staircase and a rear walk-up that were both well-uses

I lived in a condo with thick concrete walls and floors but there’s only so much you can do about the doors and windows.

It wasn’t unbearably loud but I was gifted a piano and was mortified to learn my neighbors could hear me learning to play thanks to the vibrations

Someone who definitely wasn’t me often browsed the whole site in awe at what was sold and never saw anything like that

I’m not saying he didn’t find them, but I am very confident it would have been against the ToS. The admins had a pretty hard line stance on it because it would take the site from “very illegal” to “extremely illegal”

He was not sentenced for running a website, holy shit man. He paid to have people killed and in at least one case believed it happened (it didn’t, the hitmen were all scammers or law enforcement)

Let’s not paint a rosy picture of Ross Ulbrecht here.

This isn’t true, there was no category for buying human beings. I don’t even think hitmen were allowed to offer their services.

Military equipment and stolen goods, absolutely. Hacked accounts, too. But any ad he found was either promptly removed or was never on The Silk Road to begin with.

Other non-drug markets did exist at the time but I never went on them so I can’t confirm if they were selling slaves.
