*you* don't need to 100% a game to beat it. *I* need to explore every nook and cranny and replay it to try different paths and different endings.
I gotta say, I don't know if I'm rich by rich people standards, but I feel like I am, and the benefits are understated. It's frickin' *awesome* being rich, I want to fight for everybody to get to live like a software developer. Unions for everybody! Tax me more (and spend it on, idk, not blowing up the middle east?)!
Old stuff *that has continued to last* was built to last. The stuff that wasn't built to last hasn't lasted. In 100 years, people will see everything around them that was built now and complain that back in the 2000's we knew how to build things that lasted.
Stuff used to cost more, too. A sears catalog from 1922 lists a 6' dining table at $49, or about $950 today. You can get tables on amazon for 1/4 of that price. You can still find tables for $1k today, but most people would rather pay less for worse quality.

that's not water, is it....
That means that 10% of the time, someone learned, which is pretty good.
That's fair, I hadn't considered that.
Deer don't generally climb trees - I'm guessing a bobcat.
Yes, people have forgotten - particularly young people - what anonymity is and why it's important, and why doxxing is important. And they've conflated "information I don't want people to know" with "information that is inherently private".
Vaporeon? Did you know that in terms of....
Yes, which isn't doxxing, because no anonymous information was linked to public information. Using a person's linkedin profile picture isn't exposing them - they were already exposed. Linking a person's profile picture to their anonymous username would be doxxing.
That's not true, unfortunately.
Laying on the horn is bad, but honking isn't escalation - it's informative. There have been times I've not noticed someone was in my blind spot and merged in, cutting them off, and being honked at lets me know that I need to take action to create space between us and reminds me to be more aware (tbf it hasn't happened since, like...20 years ago when I was learning to drive, but it taught me a valuable lesson!). A honk to let people know "hey! I'm here and you're acting like I'm not!" is useful.
I'm pretty sure that's not optional, your "fuck a pizza" day is always your last day, regardless of when it happens.
That's what CPI does, it shows how much your money is able to buy, or how much money you'd need to buy things. Median wages were about 12k in 1979, median wages are about 63k now. Adjusting for inflation, that 12k in 1979 would be 57.6k today, so wages have just barely out-paced inflation. We're slightly better off now than in 1979 (which is a tragedy considering that GDP has increased 12 times in the same period. If we had the same balance of wages, median wages would be ~145k)
Do you have a source for that? Or are you talking about people who are unemployed? In which case you'd have to add another 6% (at least, they didn't track U-6 before 1994 from what I can see) to the 1970's number.
We do that here in the US, too - and other countries absolutely do have lobbyists, and third party political advertisements (though potentially not third party political candidate advertisements). Any time J. K. Rowling tweets about how much she hates trans people and thinks they shouldn't exist, that's a political advertisement from a non-candidate, trying (and succeeding) to influence UK politics.
That could be doxxing, because you're taking something anonymous and linking it to an actual identity. In this case, it wasn't doxxing because none of the information was nonpublic. It was just a threat and intimidation, which are already illegal.
It's already regulated, though likely not enough. How would you remove it, though? Campaigns employ people, and pay businesses for things like transportation and advertisements, so they need money. And people who aren't rich should be able to run for office, so pay should be at least median wages (plus stipends if you require them to live away from their home).
That would make them *very* susceptible to bribery - letting them at least put money into the TSP funds (like 401k, but for government workers) would be better.
It's more than enough to keep you alive while a medical team tries to figure out the safest way to extract it. Without the hole, you've got a few minutes before your brain starts to be irreparably damaged
Doxxing is taking someone's anonymous account and connecting it to their public, IRL identity. It's not doxxing for me to post Elon Musk's home address, or to point out that he's Elon Musk. It would be doxxing for me to find what his private reddit account is and post documents linking his anonymous reddit account to his IRL person.
Yup, there are a lot of different views and different ways that people can feel about killing people.
Yes, israel works hard to do that, but we don't need to let them win. We can acknowledge that there is a real and meaningful difference between "israeli" and "jewish", and that a jew outside of israel has no more affiliation with israel than a person of german descent outside of germany.
It's not doxing to point out someone exists. Like, it's intimidation and threatening and for those reasons it's illegal but like...jesus, do people not know that the white pages used to be freely delivered to everybody? That your home address, your name, and your phone number aren't (or weren't) private information?
Sure - if that's your ideology that's fine. I have a different view, and I think many people oppose things like the death penalty not just because people might be innocent but because they think killing people is wrong. But your view isn't any less or more valid than mine, just different. So long as you have a good way of distinguishing what "good" and "evil" people are, or at least a consistent one.
We cannot make things better by making things worse, either. If we think it's bad to kill people, then we can't kill people to make it better. If we think that laws should apply to everybody then we should apply them to ourselves. If we want the world to be better we first have to be examples of how. That doesn't mean "don't do anything", unless you think the best world is one in which nobody is punished or suffers consequences.
