I'll go further than implying every penny can't be traced in the current system to stating it as a matter of fact. The default for cash is that it isn't traced. There are plenty of nit-picky exceptions, but I know for a fact

Yeah, I struggle to see how a government convinces a population that they should switch to a currency where every penny they spend can be traced.

right, my point isn't that they aren't cheap or cheaper. My point is that if the strategy of price cutting until you have zero competition even works, walmart isn't employing such a tactic because everything they sell has alt

At least in the US market there isn't a single category of a thing in any walmart that you can only buy exclusively at walmart. If this was their strategy they would still be price cutting.

the same thing goes for physical labor. Exhaling is mechanically how you lose body fat. Breathing more isn't sustainable without creating demand, but if it were sustainable you could just breath faster to lose weight.

I'm curious what you would change the title to so that you perceive it to be less provocative? In my (disclosure: not engaged in the community much at all) opinion the provocation here is simply because the topic touches on a controver

What is rational about being cynical that I want to spend my money on things I think are cool? Maybe there's merit in asking why I think it's cool to begin with (and in this case I hardly think mcdonalds is responsible for people

I'm no expert, but I thought we should prefer farm raised, no? Seems weird to advertise they are wild caught when that's a big concern with over-fishing in the wild.

Are you suggesting php and JS are stealing from what would've otherwise been ruby projects? I've been a ruby dev for a decade and I've never heard of a ruby shop migrating to using php for new work and maybe one or two moving

You misunderstand me. I'm saying it should be legal, but just because something is legal doesn't mean it's good for society and thus society _should_ pursue legal means to stop people from doing things that are socially bad.

This is your opinion and I would suggest not a very popular opinion at that. I imagine the vast majority of the world can look at the number of violent crimes trending down over time and use that as a data point to rank eras. Similarly extr

I think we have to be more nuanced with health than this. Vaping can be the absolute best choice if it helps you maintain a healthy weight and/or a healthy career which keeps your health insurance activated. There are plenty of people

Nicotine isn't bad. There are plenty of ways people use nicotine in just as benign a way as many people use caffeine. You've missed the far-and-above most beneficial effect of switching to vaping, which is getting rid of inhaling

Personally I disagree with the ruling but also agree with Jack Daniels parent corp for trying to protect their image. If someone in my social group decided it would be funny to sell t-shirts with my face on it, with the phrase "shithea

Which corporations? Jack Daniel's? In what ways have they worked towards having absolute control over our thoughts? To clarify, the reason I'm asking is it seems like you're attributing the combined malice of various corps to

I also enjoy playing with tech, which automated watering among other cool tech solutions to keeping up with indoor plants is fun for me. Always fun to hear about differing opinions and wonder about how we arrived at our opinions. I can&#x27

IANAL, but US states tend to have broad powers while the federal government is specifically limited by the constitution on what they can do. The supreme court could later find that these states banning DEI is illegal per the constitution, b

Happy to give a response if you'd like to argue your point, but otherwise this just seems like a snarky comment for sake of being snarky on the internet.
