That’s funny, at least in my neck of the woods a lot of teachers prefer the rural jobs. I’m not sure if the pay increase of moving the city balances out anyways with the increase i…

There are plenty of places without zoning issues that have that same housing problems. More people. Same amount of land, and features people want to live by - cities (which in the …

Could it be built using medieval (or earlier) technology? One wouldn’t be worth anything on a battlefield but a few hundred of them would be interesting. I don’t know if steel that…

I believe there’s a laser surgery to break up the big ones that’s would have far less adverse side effects (though, I suppose maybe the chance of something even worse).

I’m not saying it’s not a factor but we’ve had plenty of food recalls in the past: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/recalls-public-health-...

Not who you responded to but I haven’t really found many games I actually enjoy.

Sure, but I wasn’t talking about car sales. I brought Ford up because of the first mass-affordable car and the production line stuff, not to compare sales measures. Musk doesn’t ju…

It matches our circadian rhythms better. That leads to absolutely massive better health outcomes, society-wide. People wanting to drive home with a bit of light doesn’t really offs…

In the northern states, sure. But now you’re expanding it to southern states and places on the edge of the transition zones. Also, 2 hour late starts for cold are a fairly common t…

For night owls and teenagers, who already have a hard time in society, Daylight Saving Time makes things far worse. It’s been tried and failed, already, primarily due to school/kid…

I’m not who you replied to but that’s honestly an interesting question. Genghis Khan? Jesus, I suppose? Elon Musk is probably up there, though. You could say people like Henry Ford…

Political driven stupidity.

To you, that's expanding the scope. To many, many people that's just the way we live, the way our parents lived, etc. We eat food from a restaurant maybe...twice a month? Usually f…

Well, you also don't have to freeze anything. When you cook almost every meal, you end up using most ingredients before they go bad. The ingredients for a burrito are pretty basic …

> And most of these supplies and prep are going to last what, ~4 days before they spoil? Rice lasts a very long time. Tortillas last a long time in the fridge (you can probably fre…

Right, I suppose I should have mentioned the caveat of desperate men hoping to get a glimpse of attention from a woman.

To me, the level scaling just completely annihilates the game. Why even have a leveling system if practically everything just stays leveled with you?

The rich already pay most of the income tax in our country. We probably have the most progressive tax system in the world.

Voluntary donations are practically impossible. Sure, you get the odd straggler, but it’s so, so rare. I have the most popular NSFW LoRA (actually a LoKR but whatever) for at least…

I'm not the one in the bubble. You are so far left that think that MS NOW, Huff Post, Vox, etc. aren't on the left in a No True Scotsman type manner, and in your comment you used t…

The mandatory trigger at 5,000 encounters/day (or 8,500 single-day) implied acceptance of very high volumes—potentially ~1.8+ million encounters/year—before full expulsion authorit…

As an example, a lot of times when women have a bad experience with a doctor they blame it on misogyny. As a male, I've had a ton of bad experiences with doctors. I've known men (m…

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." "By the way, Pennsylvania has now seen all of…

I'm not defending them, I'm just pointing out that the two things aren't equivalent. And yeah, sure, the message was that they thought he was a traitor. I don't agree with them on …
