Tl;dr the billionaires won’t give me their petty cash if I start taxing them :(

I’ve done this a couple of times and I’d say if you can afford it, it’s definitely worth it. But renting often leaves you in a tight financial situation so it’s not often realistic to be able to do it.

I don’t think it’s about them being cheap, it’s that they want to sell you the matching wireless headset

I like my tablet for ancestry research and not much else. But I think maybe still good for artists?

Me.

Also, my cat.

Y’all get cheesecake? My Costco doesn’t have that :(

Tagged so I can recognize you later bro, you matter

Really depends on the workplace I think. Even within similar sectors, I’ve been in situations where it was definitely that way, but in another similar workplace there was absolutely none of that. A lot of it has to do with leadership, I think. But also humans are prone to gossip and be judgy and not everyone grows out of that or learns to keep it to themselves, so there will always be people.

The last one sounds like a win-win for both you and society.

Fucking up your political opponents or dissenters sounds a lot like fascism, but I really hate capitalism so I can’t stay mad.

Flour and butter are certainly cheaper than mayo

Dear mold, please do JK Rowling next. Thank you 🙏🏽

Is it a subscription now? I paid $6 in January, one-time fee.

Yes exactly that. They’d give us a sheet of equations and we were supposed to complete it in one minute. It’s usually basic stuff like addition or multiplication, but mind you this was when we’re just learning it like grade 2-3. Then they would pu t us in groups based on how many equations we got through.

I just don’t care for it. I know it matters and makes up all our rules for the physical world and everything but it’s not interesting to me. I’m much more interested in social/psychological studies of life, so math talk just flies over my head most of the time.

Also would agree with you about the educational system though. Growing up I was always held back and taken aside because I wasn’t doing the math either fast enough or “the right way”. I learned different tricks for multiplication than were taught at my school, but I would get to the correct answer. I was punished for this. It also shouldn’t matter how fast you can do math, as long as you’re getting the right answer. I fucking hated “math minutes” and had a lot of shitty teachers. Had some good ones too though.

Thank you! Yes, it sounded a bit like our gov general but seemed more involved. Appreciate the thorough response :)

From a Canadian who also doesn’t have a similar system and was confused about why you’d have both a president and a PM, thank you.

It is a big thing but feels like a small thing in the scale of things, but watching 10,000+ people in my relatively small city come together in support of various unions across the province has got me on a good high.

Interesting, didn’t read it quite the same way. Generally I do think it’s a warning to not try to apply the same solution to other problems, but the guy appears to have good intentions and so this feels to me like more of a gentle reminder rather than a “boo you suck for trying to help people”.

I might just join you in that game, it looks cool.

I’ve been playing starbound again and feels like the game has been abandoned for the last 10 years, but steam db says there’s still about ~800 players so that’s not so bad.
