Your user name was very relevant for that comment. Lol.

My anecdotal experience is very different than yours. People on alcohol have issues managing their emotions and impulses, and a lot of men get aggressive and violet - and most of the people that I encounter that consume cannabis you'd

That simply means you were raised right. :)

The US government has seemingly been adversarial to their citizens for a long time. Not just in this, but in extremely onerous and expensive demands, like requiring expatriates to file US taxes - that alone cost me nearly $15,000 over 18 ye

It was fun, I’ll try it again when I have more time.

You’ve described my manual consulting process :) Except when I have access to the right ears I force some measurable success metrics at the beginning to maintain scope stability after agreements.

At least you are honest in your tacit support for some of these clowns actions.

I assume Florida is an outlier due to storms, in most of the country you'd probably pay half that unless your roof is complicated.

>2. Roofs in general are expensive to maintain and repair. Here on the costs, i've never seen even a minor repair be under 1k. Major roof replacements cost 5 to 15k for average homes. This might be a greater-metro-NY issue though. P

I'd like to get solar, but I'm starting with a battery pack and a smaller solar install to cover those things that I would normal use a diesel generator for. It's amazing that the "cleaner" energy deniers won't

Seems about right considering Trumps business record before he turned to full time political grift!

Depends on the CEO. Let’s take a mythical example of a person who is the CEO of 5 companies, who posts on social media all day every day and ruins value of the companies they “run” and panders to angry little men with daddy issues just like

The administration in power in America also wants feudalism so maybe it's a perfect fit! /s

Yea, but a bunch of people they don’t like for (reasons) aren’t feeling safe so it’s totally worth it! /s

To further this, my trio is down a half step because we’re older now and it’s easier to sing at a lower register. This is pretty common for a lot of over 40 artists as well. Also, as you know, blues has dominant 7ths all over.

So basically feudalism because not very many poor people end up at Harvard.

> Foreign students usually pay the full cost of attending Harvard That's what I have always understood as well.

Yea, there's like 10 Trans NCAA athletes out of 10,000 so let's stop everything and focus on that. Why aren't we laughing all day at the right because they're a bunch of fucking clowns? (I identify as an independent).

Not at all my experience. I rinse the dishes before they go in as they will likely sit for days and days before I fill up the dishwasher. Likely that’s because if there’s just a couple dishes I just hand wash them. But when we have company

I don't know, the time to be out on in the streets throwing rocks was ~25 years ago. It might be too late now (mass surveillance and a fascist-wanna be government).

Yep, I buy an iPhone "all day" from China. That's kind of a straw man argument. Go pick up every single cord, speaker, lamp, etc. in your house and look at the label. That low quality shit that lasts a year is what I am talki

Agreed, both side-ism is ridiculous. One party has pursued their personal wealth and power, concentrations of wealth for the elite class, and globalism and the other side has done the same, but also embraces fascism and theocracy as core te

I should have been clearer than I was, you're not wrong, I just find nearly everything is more nuanced than we allow for in discourse these days, and I have sympathy for people because I, too, found it hard to eat healthy and exercise

by apercu 2y ago
Exercise is great and I wish more people could find the time to do it, but exercise won’t lead to weight loss if people don’t change the horrible diets that got us here in the first place.

Are Americans buying "high quality goods" from China all day?

The capital class has been squeezing people for years (and it's gotten worse since covid made the serfs feel empowered by actually letting them breathe for a moment), so I don't know that people have time and space to _think_ abou
