Doesn't sound like you want to talk in good faith about ways to improve the country, so I guess go back to listening to whatever wacko conservative rustles your jimmies about the "radical left" and "crt".

I have no doubt we've increased the per capita, especially unregistered in recent times. Maybe we could try, I don't know, literally what Australia did after their mass shooting? Heck, if it doesn't work, feel free to have al

I think you're being disingenuous with what you surfaced from your Wikipedia link. We are literally the only country on there that has more guns than people (the 2nd highest is literally half our amount per capita!). Now look at the r

Some others have mentioned it, but it could honestly be a worse scenario if it ends up making it's way into our food because of it (more so than it already does).

The worst part is it's biased towards those who already have the time / security to devote to it, aka those from the upper class. Vicious cycle.

Right? We never means test anything when it comes to wealthy incentives / programs.

Believe me, folks don't want to live in subsidized housing, it generally sucks.

This is such a strange take.

Yes, absolutely this. Getting on sertraline changed my life.

The classic, "if you're prepared and it doesn't happen, it looks wasteful" reason. Or even if it doesn't happen, because you were prepared and released the stockpile, folks don't realize that's the reason

I think you missed my point, some (possibly most) literally can't afford to do what you're suggesting early in their life. It comes from a place of financial and psychological security. I suppose it also depends on your country,

That's not empathy though. The thing is, a lot of folks will get conned over and over, especially as the times change and the cons evolve. You're still thinking of it as something people can learn, but psychology / history s

It also comes from feeling financially secure enough to be comfortable asking those questions. Early in my career I wouldn't have, but at this point I have enough money that I can afford to be more discerning.

Yeah, let's eliminate all regulations. Some of you may die, but that's a risk I'm willing to take /s I mentioned it to another, but have some humanity and empathy for those less "smart" than yourself.

I think you're overestimating humanity here. There's a reason gambling is typically so controlled / limited. Have some empathy for those who might be a little less "smart" than yourself, ultimately we're just

I've been learning Japanese for a long time as well, and I often hear this response by folks saying there's "no equivalent in Japanese" (aka the reverse). Truth is you can communicate it, it's just communicated diff

Free market != capitalism, by the way. The market for the most part in "capitalist" America, has been captured. Second, the world is a zero-sum game. In one breath folks will say "resources are limited, so we need to alloca

Capitalism these days feels akin to joining a game of monopoly where everything has already been purchased. But feel free to have a jolly time going around the board and paying rent :)

This is pretty extreme take on me suggesting limiting predatory rates on loans.

by diob 4y ago
At the very least we need to limit interest rates on loans. Folks shouldn't be debt slaves for the rest of their lives.

Lucky! I'm happy to have my house given the real estate situation these days, but I'm definitely in a "poorer" area :) Can't get anywhere green / nature without some sort of car. Part of the reason I am jealo

This is part of why I love visiting Japan, so much nature scattered throughout otherwise urban areas. Lot's of other places in the world like it as well. Makes me jealous since I love in the concrete wasteland that is Phoenix.

And the cost of possibly needing to move!

I don't think they have to change though. As long as there is transparency and an "open door", those same folks can ask questions in open channels on slack or elsewhere. I really don't understand why the can't pop

I would argue the same things that make remote successful (good communication, documentation, processes) are things that would benefit an onsite company just as much. I am interested in what you strong in-office culture, like, what does tha

Ironically I think those are the same companies that aren't willing to put in the work required to build strong collaborative cultures _onsite_.

Who do you think negotiated 40 hour work weeks before your time? What business did they have to do that for you?

Maybe they mean they need that much to live purely off the rental income, for their hands are like gelatin desserts. :) https://i.redd.it/f0kl4a40cl861.jpg

So the only link with actual data and not clickbait youtube or anecdotes was the link with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities... and rather than look at that link they still just said it &quot
