Apparently you misunderstood. I didn't write tattoos are "literally the same thing as being gay". I showed the same faulty reasoning used in that's line of argument about tattoos. Or unless you did understand and you

Well, it's fine if you don't think the U.S. Is the best, just don't make a point about it. It's not so much that Americans don't think America has faults, we just mostly love our country and take offense if you crit

Hmm, the "where are you from" isn't something I buy here. It's pretty obvious if an Asian person is "from" the U.S. and if their English has an accent I see no issues asking if/where they are from. It'

Excluding some areas/situations, I'd just say grow thicker skin. There isn't anything particularly special about California with respect to LGBTQ and it certainly isn't a good justification for living there. You can be g

I mean, if developers plan right, you could add people in a more efficient manner, but good luck bulldozing the suburbs and getting rid of cars. Those are the main issues. It's not so much that I don't believe it is possible, I do

This is going to be a massive thread I predict. There's a big world out there. If you can't afford California, or you don't want a 2 hour commute with a $180,000 salary, then DO NOT LIVE THERE. It's that simple. Are you

1% or more is a better phrase. Add to that, if the merchant is charging higher fees then you would have to get everybody to collectively stop using credit cards at the same time, or otherwise every time you use cash you're paying extra

Well yes and this is because they are paying to build the infrastructure out. In the U.S. that infrastructure already exists so there's no need for subsidies. But to add to that, I would love to live in a world where I don't have

You can use a credit card without an internet connection as well. The transactions are just stored until a connection is made. But with that being said I don't think China has the same fraud problems that the United States and to a lar

A lot of them? In the US as a rule of thumb you take whatever salary you're paid and 1.7/8-2.x it and that's what you're actually being paid when you take into account benefits in addition to salary. Even in the Great La

Of course. Amazon subsidizes them to be extremely cheap and people get excited about a new thing. Personally, I have no use for one. "Alexa turn off the lights", or just get up or use your phone? That's what I do at least.

Add to that even Chicago, Pittsburgh, Columbus, and places like Nashville. I love big cities, but not for anything less than $250,000+. I like my cost of living in the Great Lakes Region

Full Pell Grant was $5,500 when I received it. And with that being said, it's not necessarily a good thing if people end up using it to go to college to get a degree in an art that they can't use for a good job. (Although I still
