We bred them to be amenable to it and we teach them to do it from the time they are babies.

Owning a home can have similar issues, where the boiler, pipes, roof, septic tank, etc. can all need to be replaced at random times, and they can be suddenly very expensive. Ultimately with renting you have the flexibility to go to an entirely new market if the juice stops being worth the squeeze in your area.

build a hospital. although for a big one even a billion might not be enough.

And we know exactly what home is like for him now.

Sometimes clients have mental health issues. Nothing you can do except try not to take it personally.

usually about $550/month including coffee and soda. I’m one person. I have tried to set a budget but I am really not good at it. I also don’t really believe in the idea of eating less healthy to save money. It seems short-sighted.

It’s hard to argue for austerity in the American context, where the healthcare stipends being stripped away are less than 1% of the military’s budget. It’s not actually austerity, it’s just the government taking your taxes and then refusing to do its job.

I’ve only ever seen people prosecuted where the copyright holder was tracking downloads on specific sites and requested the prosecution. So, the proof would be where you downloaded the media from, not on the media itself.

There are a few flecks of rice/onion peel on my dish drying mat. Today is laundry day, so it’ll be washed soon.

That’s the thing. Liberals didn’t go wrong. Liberals won in the marketplace of ideas and achieved mainstream dominance. It’s just that, liberals won so hard that the only way the wrong could win is by lying and cheating, because they’re objectively wrong. So, naturally vicious people naturally backlash viciously.

You have nothing to hide, but you do have vulnerabilities that can be exploited. In the capitalist context, right, your car tracks the way you drive to sell your data to insurance companies, so the insurance companies can raise your rates. There’s nothing stopping a company from, say, targeting you with discounts to induce an infrequent consumer to build a habit then raising the price after you developed a routine and preference for the product. Or, let’s say you recently purchased flights to a ski town in Colorado, a company can raise the prices on outdoor activity gear as you’re likely to purchase regardless of the cost.

They keep complaining about it because we keep using the worse system for no reason. /shrug

They’re just annoyed that we use a different system with no upside when the rest of the world all chose to establish a consistent measurement system.

I would say a mile and a half is the maximum I will walk. past that it’s not worth it.

He might just have resting douche face but otherwise be harmless. But yeah, I’d definitely start putting up signs in my windows/around my building. I’m just like that.

A good male barber can do long male haircuts or short. I wouldn’t expect a woman’s salon to be as familiar with men’s haircuts. If I were in your position, I’d go on instagram and check out the barbers in my area.

Raise it with your boss that she is making you feel uncomfortable and you’d prefer conversations were limited to work only. That is exactly how a woman would handle it if a man was being weird, and you have every and equal entitlement to be left alone.

Today, between classes, I decided to go to the co-op instead of the library and doing my property reading. I told myself I’d just pick up some red lentils, since my grocery store is out. It’s only a 20 minute bus. -$113 dollars later and missing the bus and standing outside in the freezing cold for an uber and missing my property quiz again…should’ve just went to the library…

Was wondering why everyone couldn’t just dump their bags outside a politicians house who could have power to affect change.

Because that’s likely violating a number of city ordinances and possibly also several crimes.

I think a PETA-style human display would be a good idea right now, in the imagery of Pretti/the Last Jew in Vinnitsa.

Realistically this is something you should not have been sent at all. You left the group chat because the people were treating you badly, and they’re still trying to bully you after you left. I would just block all of these people.
