I’ve found so much stuff from Baens Free Library! So just wanna give my thumbs up to your post!

Yep, I see your reply now. Didn’t see it before. Good on ya for noticing it. Thanks!

And close or not, Trump did win the popular vote, and we just have to accept it and move on. (and no, I didn’t vote for him.)

Dude, you rock. Don’t even bow down to the negs that you are getting. You legit stood up for me even though you don’t agree with me. That’s an admirable, and increasingly rare, trait.

I’m American, and apparently very annoying to some, so I get my fair shair of hate. But at least when it’s thrown my way, I get that some people think I’m a dick.

But you have always been a straight up, no bullshit kind of guy. Honestly we need more admins like you.

You’re one of the reason that this instance is the best instance on Lemmy.

I look at a lot of your measured responses and always tell myself that I should respond to people that way. But I never do, cuz I also devolve and always end up saying shit like, “You keep crying. I’ll keep posting. Please block me if you don’t like me.” lmao

Stay strong, brother!

Oh, way better word. Thank you, I’ll use colleagues from now on,

Not really. I mean I volunteer at the school where I worked, so I still count them as my coworkers… But since I don’t get paid, I guess technically they aren’t. But what would you call them?

You’re on your way brother. The children being grown when you get to the decade that you retire is the big game changer I think. I love my kids, and I actually thought about having more a few years ago, but financially just wasn’t something I could wing.

Plus I worked in an elementary school for my last few days of work, so they sorta all became my kids. And I still volunteer there, so it’s worked out for me.

Now, if my kids would have kids so I could at least have grandbabies, then hey! All the better! lol

Agreed. I basically took early retirement–I’m 55.

My pension is small since I bailed early, but I have zero debt, and very few bills, so I get by just fine. My kids are grown. My house and cars are paid off. Property taxes here are very low.

Sure, I won’t be traveling the world, but the park next to my house is beautiful, and I can see the mountains from my front porch. All is good.

Good luck to ya, mate!

Yep! Wait until you have kids that are older than your co-workers.

Source: My kids are older than many of my co-workers. It sucks.

The only way to fight it is to stay fit as fuck. Oh and retire early like I did. Takes some of the pain out of getting older!

I don’t care if you think I’m right. The public does. Luigi is going to fucking jail for the rest of his life. Accept it.

Feel free to write him fan letters in jail. No revolution is going to happen either. lmao

Yep, he spent plenty of time trying to trick me into saying that murder is ok. Because HE thinks murder is ok. Fucking Lemmy, man… lol

Twist facts and words, and try to bait me all you want. I don’t and I won’t advocate murder. Accept it.

You can twist and bait all you want, friend. I’m not going to advocate murder. Accept it and move on.

And the Jury won’t either. Luigi is going to spend rest of his life in prison. He’s a fucking scumbag and he deserves prison.

Feel free to send him fan letters. Thanks.

I don’t and won’t advocate for murder. Thanks.

You are simply misguided in assuming living without insurance is either feasible or a wise decision

I’ve never said it was feasible or wise. I’m saying that MILLIONS of people live without out. Which sucks. And if I had an insurance company that would deny every claim, then that’s the same thing as not having insurance, and i would drop them.

I have went long periods of time without insurance. As soon as I retire in a few months, I’ll will go through another spell of not having insurance because it’s unaffordable. I’ve never said that was idea. That sucks.

I think the insurance company sucks.

But dude, FUCKING MURDERING CEO’S isn’t the answer. You think it is. I don’t think it is. End of story.

Also, this big “revolution” that Lemmy thinks is going to happen, won’t happen. You guys are fucking dreaming and jerking off in an echo-chamber. Luigi is going to jail. The jury will not find him cool. And there is not going to be some big citizen change that’s gonna happen which makes all CEO’s fear for their lives and change their ways.

Change will come thru laws. And both the Dems and Repubs suck right now. So it’s gonna take a while. Murder isn’t going to do it. I promise.

Feel free to save my comment and come back in a few years and see if I’m right.

But here’s the thing: I actually think you know I’m right. I think you know it and you are just frustrated but you think it’s fun/interesting to discuss.

I agree the healthcare insurance industry sucks. Democrats did nothing to change it. Republicans will do nothing to change it. And murdering CEO’s won’t change it.

And I’m saying murder is wrong, regardless of the circumstances.

In this case, it’s both. He was wrong. A jury will know he was wrong. And he’ll spend the rest of his life in jail. As things should be.

He’s going to prison. Accept it. :)

I don’t and won’t advocate murder, bro. You aren’t going to change my mind.

except that this has been a problem ongoing for the last twenty years with no progress made by protesting/following legal channels.

Cool. Doesn’t matter. I don’t think murder is the answer, and I will never advocate it. Lemmy will be on the wrong side of history when it comes to this subject. Cold-blooded murder is never the answer.

And if Luigi would have had some Republican tattoos and history and did this, you all would be crying and memeing about how he should be in prison.
