Thats a pretty good read. I often think about a lot of that. But I never come up with a way to help the rural population much. Thier way of life is dying, has been for a few hundred years. But it is still essential. They don’t like handouts or even assistance. So how do you help them?

The bering strait is probably doable. The ol land bridge is underwater there somewhere. Just build a bridge on top of that. If it keeps getting hotter, we are all going to want to move to alaska.

I’m thinking he is about to make bank in the divorce. Assuming he doesn’t already make bank, his prospects likely just improved. That said, when you marry someone who is a C suite type personality, you are usually the type to “hold on loosly”. Cause ambition is strong in such people.

I think, based on the question asked, this is a bit more complicated than OP is interested in. Just saying. But bravo for your dedication to keeping info out of corporate hands.

They still both “could” be true. Though more likely something else was a foot. Maybe the earnings target was set poorly such that the payout was more than the increased earnings. You would think in general that such a clause would be mutually beneficial, but clearly one side didn’t think so.

Maybe if we stop paying for unfinished games we won’t have to care about the drama the comes before the release. We can just see the finished product. Then we don’t have to guess how crap like this might effect the game.

I know you are a person who is trying to help others in a variety of ways. And I do applaud you for that. But ignoring the realities of others is the same that many are doing to you. Open your mind to those realities and you may be able to use that information to come up with better solutions instead of just saying other people need to magically change who they are.

Well ok. Since your last two comments were so devoid of detail that they could have been added to litterally any thread on reddit… I guess you aren’t interested in any ideas that don’t match your current opinion.
- Comment on Especially during this heat wave! 3 weeks ago:
I understand. It is very difficult for the majority of people to understand how other peoples brains work when it is different than theirs. For example, people without mental disabilities usually don’t understand why people with them can’t just use willpower to overcome the disability.

That’s a tough one. The drive to mate is very strong. It was critical to the sucsess of the species. Controlling thoughts in that direction is near impossible. So how do you balance that in environments where focus is important. I honestly don’t have any idea for that.
If you are only talking about controllin actions, then I am on board with you. Though men are taught to do that to some extent. They generally don’t just grab women by the hair and drag them to thier man cave to rape them. Well generally. It’s just they aren’t taught that the line should be way back around the point ofvnot expressing any of thier thoughts without consent. Which you correctly point out is tough when media constantly shows them that the agressive male gets laid.

How would sleeping on that bench be any better than the ground even without the arms? If it was cold at all you would freeze from below.
- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 1 month ago:
I don’t think the majority of people are ignorant or apathetic. I haven’t met a single person who was either of those. Seems like everyone is pretty solidly on one side or the other. I think most simply feel powerless to do anything about it, which is very different than apathetic or ignorant. I suspect that was true in Germany back then as well. Due to a lack of access to open media, many probably felt they were one against 1000 or something.

Maybe this is a contributing factor to why soo many young people have trouble with the idea of consent. They grew up with crap like this constantly ignoring thier right to say no.

Others were saying $2k… I am thankfully under $2500. Though I forgot insurance is wrapped in my monthly payment. So maybe I am under even $2k. I know rent around here is between $1k and $2k a month for a two bedroom apt though.

- Comment on Call Them. Replace Them. 4 months ago:
I agree we don’t owe them anything. And if being uncivil will make a difference, I am all for it. But if it won’t help, then let’s stay civil. In this specific case, if the floor of the house becomes a circus, people will start voting for clowns intentionally. Because it will become a required skill. I would rather it not. We already have too many clowns in there as is. And someday I hope it can go back a bit toward what it is supposed to be. A place for compromise. Though I do admit that I don’t have a lot of hope.
- Comment on Call Them. Replace Them. 4 months ago:
Well a big part of it all is that the interruption doesn’t really make a difference. It’s a show, likely done to get attention on himself. If it were to be something very effective, that would be another story. But it will start us down a path where the chamber will resemble a WWE production. The original point though was that if the constituency of the dems that voted yes, support that vote, then they did thier job in representing thier voters. So that’s okay. If every vote follows strict party lines our government will be even more of a pendulum than it currently is. Swinging wildly to which ever side currently has the power.

I know it feels like it. But you could be in North Korea. That’s pretty close to rock bottom with very little hope of ever improving.

I think an awful lot of people around the world would argue we are nowhere near the bottom.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 months ago:
I’ve read otherwise on the costs of services per person and density. A fire station can only reasonably cover a certain amount of space. So low density housing means you need more fire stations for the same amount of people. And of course you need more road per person in general.
- Comment on Call Them. Replace Them. 4 months ago:
There is a case to be made for not joining the race to the bottom. But likely these people constituents would be in favor of them voting this way. And in the end, that is who they are supposed to represent.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 months ago:
While I do think there should be some relief for some people as far as property taxes are concerned… living in a town or city gives a person access to many local government subsided services. Firefighters, and ambulances are some simple ones that everyone uses. Roads as well. And the cost of that does increase over time. Basing a person’s contributions to paying for that based on the value of thier property is just easier for local governments, and more stable. But it doesn’t really corelate with the use of those services. Nor with income or ability to pay.
Life necessities really shouldn’t be taxed at most levels. Food, shelter, water, heat, medical care. Most already aren’t. But housing still is. Investment properties should be taxed of course, but an average primary residence really shouldn’t be. - Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 4 months ago:
wrong buzzer noise They don’t have lots of “money”, they have lot’s of assets. In the US they can get loans at very favorable terms based on those assets. Which is how they avoid taxes. What the german rules for this are I don’t know, but probably not the same.

It ain’t just race. Pop into one of the nuerodivergent (sp?) Subs on like reddit. So many posts like “I do X. Is it because I am Y”. And “why do we all do Y”. And “I hate that NT people do Z”…

I think it is fair to say that the two are not the same. The trump thing probably had millions of views. They didn’t have to look hard to find it. Now I agree, they need to do better with moderation that involves kids, especially. Such things should actually be stopped before they are even posted. But I am not going to ding them for taking quick action on something that was brought to thier attention.

I’ve heard of usenet. Never understood how they can exist legally. Or how people pay them legally.

My understanding is that not everything is available that way though. I had a friend say they tried to get star trek the motion picture. And while it was there. A month later he still only had half of it. Thats a pretty big name movie to be so hard to get.
