Technically the website owner is being deprived of their revenue that you agreed to provide in the terms of service when you use the website.
Like, yeah, Epstein class bullshit affects everyone. Job market sucks. Mass surveillance is a bitch. I got that part.
That said, does anyone feel like some of us forget that there are others in our generation who live in countries that don't get clean water, electronics, or even food half the time. Their shelters are made of sticks and hay. They barely can dream of getting medicine as simple as penicillin. Yet they make do and can be healthy and happy.
Now, look, I know none of us envy their situation. None of us want to be homeless. That said, we have more safety nets even in hyper-capitalist America than they do.

#No other Marine will know what you voted for until after the fact. Each vote is completely private. And the numbers will not be displayed until after every Marine has voted. Every Marine is guaranteed their 96 duty-free in accordance with their choice.

I often see these threads and a lot of the replies aren't cases of strict parenting, they're cases of pure child abuse.
