It sounds like doublespeak to me. Inaction is a lack of action. You're saying they didn't act, but you they did act and therefore what you said is correct. You're argument is quite convoluted at this point. That graph is g

> With regards to global warming the responsibility of inaction lies solely on one bad actor, the USA Sure sounds like you’re saying the US isn’t taking action. And in calling them a bad actor you’d think that emissions are going up out

It's easy to say China, or even India, agreed to the Kyoto protocol when that didn't bind them to any goals. It just encouraged developing countries to adopt policies that encouraged reductions. Aside from that, the US is current

What makes them functionally non-starters is if I go to a corner store I expect that I'm paying 20-50% more than if I went to a supermarket and if I go to a supermarket I expect to pay 10-20% more than if I went to a big box store. Yo

Except Apple denied the refund. That isn't handling it. I had heard Apple was good about refunding purchases like this though, so it was surprising to read that.

There are already systems you can setup to control for things like this. Adding more systems to setup won't help though if the current ones also aren't being used. It's just easiest to setup a kids phone just like how you u

I didn't say they had to bloat their game. They can also choose a different method of distribution. Steam takes a one size fits all approach and an overwhelming majority of the market isn't on paid games with content that lasts

That's land owners "paying for it" in a decrease to the price of their assets. I'm all for that, but it involves one group of people benefiting from the loss to another group of people.

Demand? Steam offers it. It’s about expectations. How many video game’s legitimately expect players to be completely done with it under 2 hours? If that is your target audience then maybe steam isn’t the best platform for you to sell on

What if someone stands in the cross walk, or is intentionally slowly moving to cause an issue?

It's not piracy. They can't play it after they refund it and I'd call wanting to give it back because you accomplished everything you wanted in less than 2 hours a type of dissatisfaction.

A strict interpretation by your car may mean that it yields to a person standing just off the curb is in the crosswalk with no intention of crossing. Your car won't go though because the law says they have the right of way.

These people taking advantage of it at home(nearly everyone) are very likely doing the same thing in office. What the heck is wrong with having Netflix on and eating a hot dog while you work? You didn’t mention they didn’t accomplish what

The cash donations on top of the standard deductions phased out this year. This year, as far as I could tell, only way to deduct cash donations was itemizing.\ https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/tax-deductib

Lots of deductions and credits are on top of the standard deduction. School expenses, child credits, child care expenses, retirement savings, EIC credits and student loan interest are some very common things.

Even taking the standard deduction, I don't think I've had a year in my life where I didn't have additional tax credits and deductions. You don't need to itemize for some very common situations on top of the standard de
