No. I don’t know where to start. What AI do I ask? There are so many. I don’t want a bad one.
- Comment on Prolly won;t word this correctly. But when did the idea of a woman subservient to a man begin? And how come it seems its lasted longer that most relgions? 2 days ago:
It still is in a lot of places in the world. Not everyone lives in a developed high skilled economy. In fact, only about 20% of the world population does.
- Comment on Prolly won;t word this correctly. But when did the idea of a woman subservient to a man begin? And how come it seems its lasted longer that most relgions? 2 days ago:
It never began, it just always was. Likely due to biological differences between men and women and their social roles.
The concept that men and women are equal is fairly short lived, kind of started in the Enlightenment really. The concept of ‘gender identity’ is even newer, it’s really a post WW2 thing.
- Comment on Does anyone know about pope Leo's past in Chicago? Was he a little hell raiser who went straight? Kind of hard to believe someone from Chytown leaves without cause a little shannagans? 2 days ago:
When I see questions like this I question my sanity, or at least my reality.

No dude, you are the one who made a bad faith argument, but keep telling yourself you aren’t the problem.
That your random anecdote is some deep truth about the condition of millions of other people… because apparently everyone is an autistic programmer type with daddy’s money to start up a company… lol

Cool story. Why aren’t you a billionaire then, if it’s so easy?

Oh totally. I mean, if OP is only 5’9” they should just magically grow 6 inches, that will surely solve their employment! So easy!

They don’t want to hire you dude.

Statistically, no there aren’t. Just because you know some people who did well in life, doesn’t mean they exist in abundance.
The vast majority of people with median or higher incomes are educated, or skilled, and those who high incomes are highly educated and highly skilled.
unless OP is gifted in manipulation and/or amoral, and willing to fleece scam and exploit other people, it’s very unlikely they will have a great job without education and skills. And many people with education and skills, are still underemployed and struggling.
- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 2 days ago:
You need education. Either a college degree or a licensed trade skill.
- Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones? 2 days ago:
Lots of people enjoy ‘hobbies’ that are noisy, obnoxious and dangerous. And straight up illegal
Like illegal street racing. I’m sure all the illegal street racers think people are assholes for calling the cops on them, and that when they crash into someone’s house or block traffic that the other people are the assholes…
A few towns around me have dedicated drone zones, as in here is a specific place you can go fly your dangerous and loud drone. Thankfully once they happened, most people started doing that. And they are no long flying them around in general public areas with people and cars and freaking people out.
- Comment on Is there a chance America one day will elect a Progressive? Or will we keep going the elder dipshit route? 2 days ago:
Yes, we elected progressive presidents in the early 20th century. A century ago.
Then we decided in the 70s to stop being progressive.
- Comment on Does anyone actually have a plan after Trump and clean up? Try as he might he's not in there forever. Can we be allies again with old ones while trying to stregthen ties with new one? 6 days ago:
It’s not in chaos dude. You just pay way too much attention to Trump.
What should blow your mind is how despite Trump, our economy remains far better than pretty much every other developed economy… he’s trying really hard to drive it into a ditch and yet it still remains on the road.

Most 1st world democracies are stuck in this trap, because their voters won’t accept short term pain that is necessarily for long term gains. They won’t raise taxes, they won’t invest in long term capital projects, and they all want to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible and blow it on all hedonistic pleasure, hence why everyone seeks to financial everything and pursue asset value growth…
The problem being that asset growth makes the rich richer, and deprives those without assets from every having a piece of the pie. It also devalues labor…
The sad truth is if you made some bargain, like asset values deflate buy 25%, by salaries double over the next decade… the voters won’t never accept it. Even if in the long run it would make everyone’s lives better.

You dont’ have the capabilities to do any of that.
Your military has been in shambles for 40 years, you have no border police, and your trade is still mostly natural resources…

We need someone to stand up and be a leader.
Obama was. Biden wasn’t.

Canadian democracy has all the same problems as the USA. Housing crises, healthcare crisis, lack of economic growth for all but the top 10%, over-immigration, etc.
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 1 week ago:
No. You want something that is convenient… dogs are not convenient. They are a responsibility, and they do not have a ‘good personalities’ or ‘bad personalities’ that is something the dog learns from you. If you have a bad personality, your dog will too.
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 1 week ago:
No, that’s not true. Dogs generally are less social as they age. The vast majority of dogs are ‘dog selective’, just like people are. As in they only like certain dogs and dislike others.
Very few dogs are actively hostile or actively friendly to ever dog, and often it’s due to their personality and training of the owner, than ‘socialization’. Proper socializing of a dog is not about other dogs so much as it is about introducing your dog to different environments and stimulus, of which other dogs are only one thing.
Not to mention many people ‘socialize’ their dogs poorly. I live next to a dog park and every couple of days some new dog owner dumps their 3 month old puppy into a crowd of dogs to ‘socialize’ it and shoves their face in their phone and chaos ensues. And they never come back.

Yes, my dog has the most issues with small dogs because they are often poorly trained and socialized and tend to mis-read her play invite as an attack.

you don’t fix poverty by giving poor people money.
you fix it by providing them upward mobility.

A few months ago I met someone who told me their returns on their portfolio only being 6% last year was a far tragedy problem than my mother’s death.

Education is a issue on which if fails repeatedly.
Flooding a school system with money does jack shit if that school is in a poor community where the students and parents don’t value education.
