That is not predatory pricing. That is a price that covers the actual expense of running a service in the trades. Vehicle costs, insurance, PTO, tools, recertifications, classes, safety inspections, warranty claims, payroll often running many overtime costs, etc. You got a fair price. You just don’t know anything about business.

Water heater died last night. 5 yrs old, still under warranty. Called Manufacturer, they said they'd send parts, but that'd be 4-6 days. Couldn't leave my family without hot water that long. So I called local repair company, they'd been there 5 minutes when they quoted me $1,100 to fix it. Wouldn't break it down to parts and labor until I leaned on them hard. - $300 parts - $800 labor For 30-40 minutes of work. For a water heater that cost me $700 with sales tax. I called the manufacturer back and told them the situation and that I planned on buying a new unit at The Home Depot and install it myself (I'd installed my current one). Rheem said no problem, take your old one with you and we'll give you full credit towards your new one. With the military discount from my buddy that was helping me, I was out of pocket a whole $65 when it was all said and done, and even traded up a model with a longer warranty. Thank you Rheem, thank you Home Depot. Fuck off predatory appliance repair companies.

@StefanMolyneux Atheism is a specific opinion about a single topic. A person being skeptical about whether there is a magic man who created everything and can do anything and lives forever in an invisible world is hardly a qualification for knowing if someone is an actual skeptic or intelligent.

Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA
Genuine question: How do atheists believe in evolution - but also that male and female brains are the same despite vastly different evolutionary pressures?

You don’t understand Stefan. Everything you believe in requires a justification and cause. But Christians believe in a special kind of thing that HAS NO CAUSE and ALWAYS WAS with NO JUSTIFICATION NEEDED! So you’re the fool you see, foolish for even asking such a stupid question! (I wish this was satire, but I have heard Christians say this basically verbatim)

@StefanMolyneux I have found that without exception, people with negative attitudes about sex have negative attitudes about life in general. Either because they are a secular nihilist or an apocalyptic believer. I reject both of these mindsets with equal disgust.

I grew up in a very conservative church environment. We are talking about head coverings for the women, tons of talk about submission and male headship. Every single decision was made by the wives of the elders and pastors, down to the font used on the weekly bulletin. Men would say they needed to “pray it over” when a decision was to be made. But really they meant that they needed the wife’s permission to have an opinion just yet. If you saw the male “leadership” calling out a woman for her behavior, it was because the other women had turned against that woman for some reason or another. The husbands were following orders. This is ubiquitous throughout so-called “Conservative Christianity”.

@WallStreetApes Just wait until she finds out how much dihydrogen monoxide there is in our food. They are literally putting it into every single food source that they sell. Disgusting.

American is at Lowe’s and picks up a bag of Trisodium Phosphate, “this is to prepare surfaces for cleaning. It's also a heavy duty cleaner, and it's a degreaser.” She then heads to Walmart and shows it’s also put in many of our food products, it’s right there in the ingredients FYI it’s always in many General Mills cereals, here are just a few items Cheerios Cinnamon Toast Crunch Lucky Charms Cocoa Puffs Trix Reese’s Puffs Frosted Flakes Kraft American Cheese Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs Wonder Bread

Every morning now, we awake to read of new horrors that befall the world in this illegal war with Iran. As a blue collar working class man, I can put this in a perspective for you. This war, and arguably all wars, is the destruction of millions and millions of hours hard work by us builders. Wrecked by the hands of the Politician, and the Bureaucrat. The Imam, and the Pastor. The Analyst and the Professor. The Banker, and the Corporate Leader. The Statesman and the Media Host. All men and women that have never built a fucking thing in their lives. These people destroy and ruin the world, because they have never even thought of the enormity of sacrifice that others have endured to build this world and all makes it work. The sweat, pain, fatigue and loneliness of the working man as he welds, cuts, digs, carries, lifts, grinds, polishes, hammers and forges this world into something useful. While we work, they fantasize about power and destruction. We must find a way to free ourselves from the tyranny of these useless people.

@RibbonLed @iWomansplainer Nope. The way Jewish counting systems worked the time were inclusive of the first day. So Friday is day 1, Saturday is day 2, and Sunday is day 3.

@ktrap @zionpearl @iWomansplainer So what you’re saying is, three days and three nights is actually about 36ish hours, parked over three technical days. 6 hours out of day one, 24 hours out of day 2, and another 6 or so out of day three. A total of three days and three nights, obviously! 🥳

No, words aren’t arbitrary sounds we redefine at will, that’s linguistic chaos, and if so we’d never communicate anything (including this reply) In reality, language works via shared conventions, grammar, history, and authorial intent That’s why we study biblical texts in their ancient Jewish context: “3 days & 3 nights” had a clear idiomatic meaning then (spanning parts of 3 day/night cycles, any portion counts), not whatever modern skeptics want it to mean now If meanings were truly “whatever we want” then your own words lose all force too

Hebraic time ≠ our midnight-to-midnight cycles: Jewish days start at sunset (night actually kicks off the “day”), and night + day form one holistic unit (“evening and morning” -Gen 1:5) So our concept of “Thursday evening” = start of Jewish Friday for example Jesus buried late Friday afternoon (before sunset) = Day/Night 1 Full Saturday = Day/Night 2 Resurrection early Sunday (while still dark) = Day 3’s opening night portion: counts fully as Day 3 or 3rd of the 3 holistic day/night periods So to your mention of “Three days and three nights” (Matt 12:40) - It’s idiomatic/linguistic for spanning parts of 3 day/night periods, not a strict 72 hours / not 3 distinct daylight periods and 3 distinct periods of darkness Any part of a day/night period counts as a whole (Esther fasted “3 days, night or day” but acted “on the third day”) + Jesus swaps phrases: “on the third day” & “after three days” etc.
