2nd order corporate greed via jacking up the prices on everything and pocketing the profits, leaves everyone lacking, asking for tips imo is just trying to make up the difference without having to follow the Lordship's move.

I didn't exist for billions of years before I gained consciousness as a child. I'm sure I won't mind not existing for billions of years after my system expires.

Me? I already clean my own toilet. My partner sometimes makes me coffee, but I make my own too. I don't eat much beef, but I don't mind slaughtering my own chickens. Honestly, if I had the time I'd be able to enjoy doing a lo

even the amount of tattoos depends on culture and region. lots of cultures around the world practice some form of tattooing. even the BMI thing varies somewhat because different BMIs are healthy for different ethnic groups.

there's significant evidence that this is due to corporate price gauging. though it is fair to point out that this type of system does require a few other changes in the corporate incentive structure. shareholder primacy for one, would

Rural is a completely different beast and the limited infrastructure makes for a more sustainable setup, the issue is that the low density makes it unobtainable for most people. I also love the countryside, but it doesn't work as a gen

most investment assets can be financially leveraged. IMO suburb home ownership provides more of an illusion of financial security and leverage than the real thing. being able to buy a house, condo, or apartment in an urban area is a much mo

regex is one of those things that people constantly bounce off of, for what seems to me purely aesthetic reasons, that's actually not that hard to understand. you just have to read every symbol individually.
