So your saying they would walk away with a few billion instead of like 80 billion and would never have a family member need to think about working again. They “play” normal person for fun. Like if they sell it all off and move away they can each buy a few $2 million houses, have maids, gardeners, nutritionists, cooks, and vacation anywhere they want all the time and go from having $2-3 billion to having $4-5 billion in around 7 years without any effort. It’s just to much money to spend, and it constantly will be making more money than is needed

I mean even if England dissolved the monarchy all those properties are owned by their family, not the country I thought. So you can take all his title and responsibilities if he has/had any, and he would have to go into the hard living of a billionaire. With no one in his family ever having to think about working for the rest of time. We live in different worlds.
- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 2 days ago:
I would find it more likely the hospital fucked up and you got the wrong baby from the icu. As entering/post leaving said hospital there has always been a paper trail. Records they checked in, record of baby born, and birth certificate. Also birth certificates have changed a bit here, so if you look at your original birth certificate the listed parents had social security numbers listed, when you order a replacement they do not. Guessing a lot of people were worried about family matters stealing identities or something. If I didn’t have said birth certificate, I couldn’t get a driver’s license or anything else really, so unless they faked one well enough and changed records in the hospitals, it’s a very low chance I was stolen. Now the number of men who are lied to about being the father is higher than that, and there are some rare cases of having someone else sign a birth certificate that isn’t the biological father. I have known someone who lied to her ex about how long into a pregnancy she was, and had her new partner sign the birth certificate as the father to get legal paternal rights. (Obviously a shit show when the biological father finds out).
- Comment on Mexican Government To Tax Violent Video Games It Says Make Kids Violent 2 days ago:
The angriest person I ever saw playing video games was my brother playing Madden when he was younger. Model straight A student, calm person in everything else, very unlikely to ever get in a fight, went to to have a good career, good father, never been arrested or even gets traffic tickets… Yet if video game competitiveness while a teenager was an actual tie to judging if a person was violent in their real life… I think banning all sports games/possibly all competitive sports should be higher up their list.
When’s the next time you will see someone physically hit someone in a manner outside the rules/laws. Every given Sunday in the NFL. Saturday in the NCAA… probably won’t even make it that far, is there an NBA, MLB, NHL, or other such physic sports game in today? Competitive wrestlers are known to shove a finger up someone else’s ass if they think a referee can’t see it for a competitive advantage. Football intentionally kneeing people in the ribs or trying to poke people in the eyes when they are in the piles. Most of the fights we see break out stem from cheap shots and rule breaking happening when a referee can’t see, not just shit talking.
If these are the things players are taught and do, why would it be okay to teach kids to play these sports as little kids… Probably because they know theit kids aren’t randomly forcing their finger up someones ass or kneeing someone in the head when they go into the office. Different mindsets
- Comment on Many new members post and delete their accounts 2 days ago:
/discussion I wonder how one could help mitigate any of it. Let’s say we looked at piefed. From what I have have seen published by instances is that the IP from a user is recorded for 12 months from registration, and all IPs a user logs in from are recorded for 90 days. That would mean cross referencing logs may be possible to catch multiple accounts logging in fron the same location but I would assume (maybe without understanding) since many users I discuss things with use a VPN throughout much of their usage the VPN companies would have severe overlap in what IPs are being used during login/registration over time. This would cause issues trying to recognize patterns. Like say I wrote a script that told an account to log into a VPN sever, login to an account in a database, make a post/comments, then log out of them at account, out of the VPN, into another VPN sever, into another account and continue on doing so the IP would keep changing. Is there any way you could really verify it is the same user without putting in extensive tracking of users. Aka you could try to track browser uniqueness would make the bots more catchable but you are also the tracking the user base more, making it have even less privacy. The bot could then add something to alter browser settings used to obscure the uniqueness between logins, but really in the end what would the upsides be compared to the downsides. Ultimately it may create a constant heightened security that ends with all users being very non-anonymous across the platforms and still have bots just changing one more setting

There will never be another draft. Our military is to big, and we aren’t going to try to occupy anything. Drones knock down our deployment numbers drastically. Unless there was actually a war with someone like China or on our own soil, there is no need. We currently have about 2 million people already volunteered. Our largest force during the Afghanistan/Iraq bologna was around 100k. So we could send 10x that and not get into the reserves. Our military is way to damn big
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 5 days ago:
Yeah I wasn’t sure if maybe it was a term they used in another part of the world, or if maybe it meant one who partakes in the use of alcohol but maybe isn’t an addict. It seems like it is a synonym like you are saying.

Walked into a bar/club one night and it was packed because some biker event. They had multiple bars but I usually went to an outside one upstairs because I could smoke outside, you know double down on being unhealthy. The bartender somehow saw me and my spouse walk in, ran out from behind the bar and grabbed two chairs stashed in a corner so they were out of the way of people dancing and asked people to slide over and put those chairs in at the bar so we could sit down. Everyone around the area had this look like the queen of fucking England just walked in and Ill never forget it. That’s the kind of customer service that will make sure you come back. The guy knew that business was seasonal, but if you treat your locals well when it gets busy like that, they’ll be the ones who are there when it’s slow season and he’d still have a few customers.

Is alcoholist(s) term that means something different than alcoholic(s)? Never seen it before
- Comment on FACTS 5 days ago:
No you’re good, I’m sure I wasn’t being all that kind in my word choice last night either. Yeah I suppose some people of eastern descent maybe don’t get facial hair as much. Most everyone I meet that says they can’t grow a beard is because they say it comes in bloches or patchy. Same happens with arm hair and I think there are some that don’t grow hair in the groin area as well but I think that is tied to the way hormones act in their body? Peoples bodies do strange things. When I was 16 I got into my first real relationship with a girl who was 17. She had this thing where when she got horny her upper lip would turn a deep red color. For 1 it was a great help for a young man trying to figure out a relationship, but on the opposite side, it was real awkward when I found out it was genetic and her mother/step father knew exactly what was going on when they saw her. (Apparently it happens to her mother as well)

Is it a feature you can disable on the iPad? I never considered that kids would be doing that. My spelling was never great but I just always chalked it up to the way my brain worked. Even when I spent a couple years in college spending most of my free time reading books both to myself and our loud to my partner I still didn’t remember how certain words were spelt because I often didn’t write them. If I never wrote them as you are saying I imagine it would have been much worse.
- Comment on FACTS 5 days ago:
“Not all men even grow beards” is the point, it is their preference (with cultural pressures) but ultimately it is their choice. To say someone choosing to shave makes them child like when you are talking in the context of sexual attraction (the post is about fucking) it means you are directly tying the act to being sexually attracted to children.
Being attacked to someone who shaves their arm pits/chest/legs/face/back/groin/ass is all preferences, saying it is child-like for one and not another is hypocritical.
As for hygiene, that’s opinionated, but if you want to purchase shaving cream or a razor at the store, you go to the hygiene section. Shaving will reduce smell/bacteria, but can also have other effects like increasing your odds of contracting skin to skin prone STIs.
My stance is to enjoy what you enjoy and don’t judge others for what they enjoy. I don’t know why people pee on each other, but if that’s what consensual adults do in their spare time, that’s up to them.

I was being civil. Pedophiles like children, children don’t have facial hair. That’s a post puberty development. Anyone anti-beard is anti adults puberty hair development like post puberty shaving of bushes. So either you recognize that pro bush is a preference, or you should believe everyone anti beard is a pedophile. You cannot have one without the other. They are both post-pubeseant hair
- Comment on FACTS 5 days ago:
Yes it absolutely is if you define people who prefer shaved bodies as preferring child-like features. A cannot be true, withoit B being true. Either people who like people without shaved orphaces is child like attraction, or people liking people with shaved orphaces is child like attraction.
- Comment on FACTS 5 days ago:
Yeah, you were saying women who like shaved faces prefer childlike features. That’s called pedophila.
- Comment on FACTS 5 days ago:
I also agree any women who wants a man to shave his face is a pedophile. It goes both ways… Or maybe people just have preferences, that have to do with hygiene
- Comment on The history of soup 5 days ago:
Yeah space is the issue. I personally had 13 chickens and just reduced the size yesterday to 7 because egg production was to high and good laying hens are worth more alive than butchering. Also, I love the boogers so I couldn’t eat them. The amount of space it takes to have a garden that could sustain 2 people is around 4 acres really. Unpractical for most people. Also impossible to have animals in that area without containing them to tiny areas many wouldn’t agree with. Self sufficiency is rough in the confines we practice most places… But expanding areas only hurts society in other ways. (Drive times, resource usage, etc)
I get what you mean though.
- Comment on The history of soup 5 days ago:
Oh yeah, I’d love it to be sans beans… it’s just not going to be cost worthy for my budget. Good chili makes sense to not have beans, but whispers privilege, haha
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 5 days ago:
I was thinking if you had a set voltage and resistance you could hold a certain rpm for the motor going to the gears. Then if you needed to adjust it you could stop the current by dialing down the voltage or possibly increase the analog dial to increase the voltage and make the clocks motors all spin faster until you reached the desired time and dial it back to standard voltage. But you would have loss over distance in the wire unless you made them all the max length needed, and coiled them to make them all the “same length” from dial to clock.

I had a couple teachers try to spend a single class about note taking but I think note taking is different for everyone, much like learning styles. Telling someone to skip a,b, and ,c and just write d because they view it as the important information only works for people who think exactly how they think. So I would try something like that and would end up with.
1974 - congress - didn’t pass till 1980.
That means nothing to someone unless they know more context, which the context clues in my experience are tied to someone’s individual thought processes. In this case it would be mentions of maybe reconciliation process, simple majority, and budget. But for others it could be other things.

At what point is it not just a digital clock with an analog interface if it has the ability to receive information digitally and perform tasks off of it. (I assume increase/decrease voltage to the motor)
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 5 days ago:
Would that not mean if the power goes out after say a hurricane, the all the clocks have to be reset manually or can they somehow change them all remotely? A mechanism going threw the walls to change them from a single location sounds like a lot of work to get a synchronized clock
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 5 days ago:
If I’m honest with myself my handwriting was always shit. If I was writing you a letter you’d be able to read it, but taking notes in college was all but useless for me. The speed at which you would have to write left me unable to find any of it legible so I was able to take in more information by just sitting down and listening/watching instead of scrambling to figure out what they were talking about now after I wrote down whatever I thought was important prior to that. Professors write fast because they do it all the time, and the amount of time it would take me to read then write what they wrote would overlap the time they spent over the next 15 seconds telling you why it was important. If I wrote down why it’s important I’m behind on the next bit of information and scrambling. When a professors posted their notes online so I could review it that way it was so much easier for me.

Really? I never knew any of them were synchronized, that’s cool if so. I seem to remember us pulling them off the wall at our schools and changing them twice a year or replacing the batteries. Having them wired with synchronization may be overboard, but it is kind of cool

As soon as someone says like don’t like beans in their chili I think that chili is going to be out of my budget. Most foods heavily rely on other things to help fill you up. Chili you can’t exactly put random carbs into to keep the cost down. Onions and peppers cook down for great flavors but minimal filling. Sure you could add more cheese and sour cream which keto diets would probably love but that isn’t getting your cost / filler down.
My stomach is likely just to big, I need to cut portions and let it shrink
- Comment on The history of soup 6 days ago:
Thanks for the serious response, I honestly learned from your response that shepherds pie didn’t have pastry, I thought it was like a chicken pot pie with different fillings. (Thicker/with red meat vs thinner and poultry I guess is what I thought)
What do you do for your empanadas? And do you think I could just start my dough like a pizza dough, cut and crimp them similar to a perogi and then fry them? Maybe that’s what I’ll do for dinner tonight. What do you put in them?
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 6 days ago:
Adding eggs to random shit really does help it feel more filling. Like if I eat a packet a ramen I would never feel full, throw in a couple eggs and it’s fine. And I can’t afford to go to the doctor so it’s not like they can tell me my shit diet is killing me. I didn’t know what a frittata actually was until recently. We have chickens and I was trying to get rid of some eggs and my fiance found a frittata recipe online. It’s basically, whatever you’ve got throw in a vessel with eggs and bake it. Cut up peppers, onions, can of green beans, or corn, maybe some sausage or whatever you had left, add that other can you had sitting in the cupboard throw it in the oven and go sit down. It may not be considered a frittata at that point. What spices were added. Whatever the fuck sounded good at that moment. Probably some Tajin, why not.
Why am I still typing, I don’t even know what I was talking about… Maybe I’m hungry

I suppose that depends on the level of hot. If it’s at the temperature I like soup, probably, if it’s at the level of heat I see some people drink coffee at, no. I think some of those people secretly hate the taste of coffee so they just burn off their taste buds and blister the roof of their mouth just to feed their caffeine addiction.
