Food prices, rent, medical costs, education. I feel like all the expenses that disproportionately affect non-millionaires aren't cooling. Feels like corporations used inflation as cover to ratchet up prices and while inflation may ha

What are the copyright implications of this work? Is it legal to distribute the stitched together frames without audio? Do you think this project is going to get DMCAd off the internet?

How long did it take for them to get all the frames?

You didn't engage with my reply, you went off on a weird monologue about why you are skeptical of racism generally..? "racism is one of the many motives for drug criminalization" is thoroughly documented and not debatable by

"Strictly" seems to be constructing a strawman - I would guess almost everyone who believes in decriminalization acknowledges other motives like puritanicalism, racism, classism, labor productivity, adherence to the societal norms

The companies don't have nearly enough assets to pay for clean up. Would be more just to seize them and auction them off for enough funds to do 1-5% cleanup, but that would probably be an uphill battle politically.

I got a very similar quote ($27k for ~2000sqft home) in seattle a few months ago. Salesperson said there is excess demand for both labor and machinery for heat pump installations in the past few months. I wondered at the time to what extent

I feel like almost every international news story can probably be traced back to some corporate interest: somebody is profiting based on the public being aware of/believing that news story.

Seems like you've been guzzling the sinophobic propaganda. Tiktok is a much better platform than Youtube for user experience.

When people recognize how cognitively harmful ads really are, there will be a movement to pirate and rehost all content decentrally, edited to remove interstitials and sponsored segments. Ads targeting children would be an international cri

Yep, I only leaf blow on the sidewalks and concrete paths that get some extra grass leaking over when I mow the adjacent areas. New thing I'm trying this year is to pull garden weeds and toss them on top of the grass right before a mow
