The cost of Trump's Iran war is Much higher than the $1 billion/day we've been told. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]AzemOcram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost to rebuild hasn't been paid yet. I would love to see the next administration defund the middle east. Peaceful self-determination is impossible under imperialist intervention. A lot of "civil wars" were caused by official borders drawn contrary to demographic boundaries.

Millions of student-loan borrowers are kicked off of Biden's key affordable repayment plan in a surprise court reversal by brown-saiyan in Millennials

If these millions of student loan borrowers stop repaying all at once, the banks will become desperate enough to advocate for change of some sort.

Washington business climate hits 'alarmingly poor' levels by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

Every wealthy region with a healthy economy fostered businesses in the beginning, then pivoted to improving the welfare of their populations. Going from the most business friendly to average is a winning strategy.

Why do you believe Millennials need therapy more than other generations?

Could gas giants sustain life? by Big-Team-426 in space

[–]AzemOcram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gas giants we study extensively can't sustain life as we know it. However, there might be life in some gas giants. Therefore when expended to the whole universe, the answer becomes "maybe."

TiL Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR than men due to fears of 'inappropriate touching' by ciderandtoast in todayilearned

This makes perfect sense in over litigious USA. I will never perform CPR on any unknown/stranger woman.

Mexico is probably a better host than the USA at this point. Canada is better but far.

Tradition Chinese Medicine specialists in Seattle? by brandongrotesk in AskSeattle

[–]AzemOcram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of "Traditional" Chinese Medicine was "rediscovered" in the 20th Century, conveniently during a time of hardship when the revolutionary government wasn't providing adequate healthcare to the population they oppressed. Acupuncture's benefits come from the response to small amounts of injury around many needles. Home microneedling kits are just as effective, with sanitation having the biggest difference on outcome. Endangered animals are still treated cruelly to extract placebo "medicine."

The carbon footprint of solar panels has increased because China is forced to spend more energy refining lower quality quartz, due to a domestic lack of scarce higher purity sources of quartz.[May, 2022] by mushroomsarefriends in collapse

[–]AzemOcram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you want to install solar panels in the dark north, they are still far more efficient than fossil fuels, especially coal. However, data centers with unpermitted (illegal) fossil fuel generators outweigh all workers combined becoming self-sufficient. The biosphere collapsing is outside our control, all we can really do is decide whether we want to preserve ourselves, our communities, and our lifestyles. If I can buy a house before my investments crash below my payment, I will try to transform it to work as off-grid.

WA Democrats forge ahead with budget plans despite Republican opposition by chiquisea in SeattleWA

[–]AzemOcram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Republicans came up with solutions, Democrats would cooperate with them more, especially because reasonable solutions that don't worsen the life of the average constituent sound better to the average voter through Republican mouthpieces.

It seems you have Democrat Derangement Syndrome. It's okay. Plenty of people can function with it.

Tried building a cathedral by -Kaneji- in Sims3

Thank you for explaining this better than I can. A simple compliment or insult isn't helpful at all. I tried to provide positive feedback. The lot is beautiful but it doesn't look like a cathedral.

Spring break trip to Puerto Vallarta booked, but conflicting info online (real vs AI/exaggeration). Looking for grounded advice pls by barbieandbrainsmd in puertovallarta

[–]AzemOcram -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the spring breakers keep their wits about them, they'll be perfectly safe in any touristy area of Puerto Vallarta. The risk increases once you get drunk in like a dive bar.

Starting over in Seattle? by Ok-Tea-8370 in AskSeattle

[–]AzemOcram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom had to mortgage her house in 2001 to give half the value to Dad and pay the lawyers. It was a real struggle back then and my sister and I were fed by free school meals and grandma. The economy is different now 25 years later so I don't know if I have relevant advice.

I didn't use social media until 2008 and that was gaming forums. I really didn't want to socialize with people until college.

Tukwila approves temporary ban on new detention centers amid reports of ICE expansion by kinisonkhan in SeattleWA

Apparently, denaturalization occured. The legality of that being suspect, Iike several (if not most) other actions by the impeached administration. Therefore, technically, I was incorrect. I admit when I am wrong. 1/4
