None of the above. I’m a long sleeve shirt and full pajama bottoms person.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I can see why parents are so long when you need to build like a billion dollar factory to make a product and mass produce it.

Digital concepts don’t take that much investment and once you have it you don’t need to invest in making more, it’s just there.

So yes, digital patents should be a fraction of the time that physical patents should be. Like 2 years instead of 20.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
How is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn’t under patent?

Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.

It drives me insane when I randomly get Microsoft telling me to finish setting up my PC like 5 years into owning it and all its trying to do is get me to reset my default browser to edge. Fucking annoying as shit.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.

It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope she found herself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I think I’m one. Tried weed multiple times in different types but never had any sort of experience let alone enjoyable one. Smoke a joint, just get sore lungs. Eat edibles? Bleh, just a gross tasting candy.

Only time I felt anything was after a 50mg gummy, and that was just a bit of light headedness for a half hour.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨purpose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Diets are highly species specific, but mosquitos are generally less than 3% of the diet for most birds and bats. Too small, don’t fly around at the correct time of day/night, and pretty agile, so they aren’t supper important for most birds and bats.

Also, usually they hatch in the billions all at once and die within a few weeks so there’s a very limited amount of time that they even can be preyed on as food. Their strategy (many of them, not all species) is to overwhelm any predators with numbers.

It’s pretty amazing how out of touch Netflix can be

So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why DO credit card companies make a stink about adult content anyway?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

I seriously don’t understand why we don’t have a mandatory class that covers taxes, T4 slips, investing, labour laws, budgeting, reading nutritional information on foods, etc.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
People need to stop thinking about property like it’s any other regular thing like a vehicle.

Land is not a thing it is a limited resource.

If someone owns a piece of land in a city it doesn’t matter what they are currently doing with it, even if they do nothing with it, that’s wasting potential that someone else could be doing with it and affects everyone around that piece of land.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It doesn’t make sense that cities need to increase property taxes every year though

Property tax revenue should be increasing every year by default without changing the rate simply because houses and properties increase in value every year typically

If property tax is 5% and the town makes $100,000,000, the next year if property value increases by 5% then their revenue goes up 5% as well to $105,000,000 automatically. Why do they need to also increase the tax to 6%?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It would only work if all the privateers get sent to one specific state like Texas and the two systems are kept completely separate.

Let everyone move to Texas and pay no taxes, but every hospital visit or doctors visit is paid out of pocket or by insurance companies, no one has social security or welfare, every road is a toll road, you pay a private fire fighter company a monthly fee to be on their protective detail, police are private security firms you also need to pay a fee for protection or to investigate any thefts from your property, there’s no mayor or other elected representative for their town because where does the money come from to pay them, the army is also a private security company, the list goes on
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Plus there’s no one saying you can’t reduce reliance on specific countries like China. It is indeed dangerous to rely on any one country for too much. But if you spread it out to many countries and make sure to have some domestic supply for the most important things it would be fine.

At the moment Trump is targeting all countries, and many for no reason at all.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
China also doesn’t want to interrupt trade, it benefits them just as much as America, that’s how. They won’t invade Taiwan if there’s a threat of war disrupting trade.

If you isolate the country from China too much then there is no benefit to China not invading. Globalization encourages peace because trade benefits all. Russia is suffering from all their sanctions now, they made a mistake thinking things would be over in a few days and people would get over it. Now they need to grit their teeth and pull through it. No one else wants to be Russia.

I don’t think there is any way to bring back those jobs. You guys are dreaming if you think you can just go back to an economy of the past.

The world has globalized, America can’t just pretend it hasn’t. Sure you can try and bring everything in house but by alienating allies there are lots of things you just can’t get yourselves like many raw materials, and then you need to worry about exporting to actually bring money into your economy not just move it around in circles.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Eh, we are currently doing our hiring rounds for a few seasonal positions and have offered the job to a few people who have responded with they need some time to think or are waiting on a few other potential offers.

That’s all fine and dandy but we tell them they need to respond with a yes or a no by the end of the week because we need to hire someone and if they no we will need to waste another week waiting for our second choice to shop around and eventually have no time left, they get a day to respond or we ask the next one.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian cinema chain sued by film-goer over lengthy pre-film ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
How are they a useful buffer to stand in line for popcorn? If the movie actually started on time instead of showing ads you would just show up 15 minutes early.

As it is right now people show up “on time” and stand in line for 15 minutes because they know it’s just going to be a shit ton of advertisements but then risk missing the start of the movie because it could be 10 minutes or could be 20 minutes.
