What if it isn't a bug but a feature? Tired citizens are not engaged citizens, they don't have the energy to organize and push for their interests. Workers being less productive is a small price to pay for employers when all your

If I can meet biological needs like eating by paying some one and not having to hunt and farm, why shouldn't I have the option of doing the same with sex?

And back in my day your parents would find a good match for you and that would be that. You youngsters screwed up the whole courting scene. It used to be a man could get a good wife if he only had a job. Then you needed charm. And the whipp

I look repulsive and my personality isn't much better. Hookups are quite out of the question. But it must be nice to be attractive and have enough money to go out clubbing.

I'm curious, is there any Norwegian commentary on Sweden in English?

by zeth___ 9y ago
Sweden has more rapes per capita than any country outside of sub-saharan Africa. Whatever system they have they can keep.

And to make the system better they just took the system offline. The next Craigs list will be on Tor and will have a child prostitute section. Congratulations on making things worse.

In January. There are literally 3 cities that matter and 4 kinda do. If you go by state you can see that a place like Sydney is getting ~1200 non house units approved. I see 5 50+ story building completed in the last three months, with anot

Most people who are starving will eat rats if given the chance. What you're complaining about isn't a human right, it's bells and whistles on top of a luxury. There are plenty of places that you can afford to buy a house. As

As someone who lives in the center of a large city: no. It's not the work commute. It's everything else. Having a coffee shop at the bottom of my lift. Having 4 super markets within walking distance. Having 200+ restaurants to pic

P_0 * exp(-k*d) Where P_0 is the price in the heart of the city, d is the effective distance to the heart of the city and k is a factor to get units matching up.

Citation on what? The price not dropping? The supply of units increasing? I can't give you a citation on who is buying the units because that is obfuscated by design. If the people trying to hide their wealth put their names on the dee

And if you're starving and there is free food one block over you go and eat there. There is plenty of very cheap land to live in. The problem is that no one wants to live there because living in dense cities for whatever reason is extr

If you're not paying, you're the product. Until we outlaw a way to make money, expecting people to morally not use it to is extremely naive. Something a 5 year old would expect in fact. There is a reason why we have police, courts

I live an an extremely dense city. Prices are not dropping even when thousands of units are hitting the market every month. The reason is because foreign buyers like to park their money out of their country so it won't get confiscated.

If developers were given the chance they would turn every plot of land into a Kowloon walled city. We need someone pushing the other way to keep some spaces livable.

Until Democrats face up to the fact they are now the party of the spies and advertisers they will continue to bumble into this. Obama absolutely expanded the surveillance state to levels Bush II could only dream of.

The media piling on top of facebook is payback for how much facebook has screwed them over with the changes to the news feed. If anyone is interested I'll look for the original sources but in 2012-2016 something like 50%+ of all views

Largely because of Ralph Nader. It's amazing how reformers get demonized even after their platform is accepted wholesale by the rest of the world.

Not if they are gasoline cars, particulate pollution alone kills tens of thousands. An electric rail network on the other hand would have real positive externalities, but isn't as easily privitazable so won't be built.

Are you attacking freedom of writing now? I am confused. This is one thing that most of the free world has gotten mostly right: you can say anything you want in writing without having to fear the government. It needs some corner cases irone
