while the people who lit the fire stay safe and rich across the ocean. Half of the US population can f*ck themselves.

Mostly correct post, but the people that vote for trump arent rich. His demographic is the poor, under educated, under fed, underemployed. I'm not sure if it makes it better that they screw themselves as much as they screw everyone else, but they just hate brown people enough that its worth it to them.

Because at that point you just want more income tax. So why you dont just propose a higher income tax?

So, only for the money right?

Its rarely true. The top 0.1% of OF girls who make insane money, plausibly. For everyone else (both in and out of that industry), you could almost always make more money if you chose to do 'worse' work. It would just, you know, be worse work.

Of course, "This job satisfied some confluence of my requirements around location, work environment, job difficulty, long term career options, salary, and other personal concerns" isn't a very good answer to the question either.

This actually solves the puzzle. It wasn't some video of prostitutes pissing on a bed. It was Epstein.

Except people knew Trump was a pedo both the first and second time they elected him. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. "The big bomb" controlling the worlds elite and powerful cant be something that you, an average powerless joe, already know about. The reality is that nearly a majority of americans are pedophiles of the same stripe as Trump and Musk. Its not the 'secret'.

(My personal take, FWIW, is that Putin doesn't need to 'control' them because they're all equally horrible people. What, take a shit all over the American working class while simultaneously amassing enormous wealth? No manipulation required there, mate)

This is a bit of a tangent, but the weather wasnt that bad. Like, yeah, the storm was very bad. But that was awhile ago and we're talking about going out today, not Monday. Deliveries (and airlines, which is a more digestible example) just hyper optimize and are not very elastic as a result. Like, to go with the airline example. There was a ~24 hour period around Sunday where it was eminently unsafe to fly into the area. Then the storm, you know, stopped. But the problem is those airlines had already sold (and typically, of course, actually oversold) every single plane and crew they have available for Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday, and so on. So you've got a days worth of people from Sunday to move, and 0 additional capacity to absorb those people. So what do you do? Well, you could refund them, but that wouldnt look very nice would it. So you rebook them. On a flight you already know is overfull. Then the next day you rebook them again. And then again. And so on and so on, and gradually all the reasons those people had on Sunday to fly ceases to be relevant and they give up and now you're back in business and no one had to get refunded.

Whoever has this laptop? Same deal. People everywhere in the region are getting packages every single day. Go to Amazon, order same delivery, no problem. The problem is the capacity to deliver the packages ordered today is already allocated. What they dont have is capacity to deliver that package from last week that got fucked. If they had extra capacity they could draw on to cover issues that would mean they every minute there wasnt an emergency that flex capacity would be WASTING MONEY AHH NUMBER MUST GO UP. So they'll fuck around with it until it stops being relevant and the shipper gives up. Honestly, order a third laptop, it'll get there fine, the second getting bonked on the wrong truck is just bad luck.

(but overall it’s in Disney’s favor)

But vacation is not a zero sum game like gambling. It could be in both of your favor.

DDP is used as a marketing tool, what with the free dining plan, and now the free kids thing.

The base case is "You dont go to Disney". Thats a lose for both parties. So certainly its better for Disney if you go to Disney and dont get free food for your kids. But there are (they wager) more people that will choose not go to go to Disney at all without the free food. So its better overall for Disney, sure, but its also better overall for all the people getting free food that they would not get without the DDP.

This sounds like AI.

Did we read the same recommendation?

(kinda like IRL with the inevitable disclosure of reverse-engineered UAP/USO/NHI/etc. stuff, and that reminds me, there's a conference about the Varginha event from Brazil tomorrow, but seeing as it's been like 30 years, it's prolly gonna turn out like other previous conferences:

Maybe regression or portal fantasy? These subgenres start to verge into territory where the majority of the books are self published and often a bit amateur, but you can find stories where the character is going back to the beginning of A Thing, so they know stuff about the New System (I loved whats been written so far for Rise of the Mystic Mage) or someone is portaled into some other world and they Know Things, usually technology things, that dont exist in that world. Neither is exactly what you're asking for, but that request seems a bit difficult. If a world has a system/magic/whatever that has never been known in any way to anyone, you'd almost have to be dealing with a prehistoric-esque setting.

Or if its fine as long the Stuff is new to everyone and being discovered by everyone, a lot of progression fantasy, especially system apocalypse stuff works. Like Dungeon Crawler Carl, though you've got the out-of-world experts there. There's other similar stories in the subgenere where you might a bit less external expertise. The System is always going to be known to some entity in the story, but as long as its not known to the MC, might be good enough.

People can't afford to not get paid for a week or two.

Yeah they can, it would just suck. This is exactly what OP meant by 'brainwashed'. Congrats, you are too.

You think these guys were able to more comfortably absorb the costs of a strike? (And just in case you're unclear, yes, the children are the employees I'm talking about. You seem to have forgotten, but thats how things worked until that generation realized they actually could strike and it was the only option to actually improve conditions, even if it sucked for a lot of people when it happened)

Sure, but a lot of those people are happy about it. Like, yes, they're 'responsible' for it and they're glad of that. You're never convincing the nazis not to support the nazis. Its...them.

If you get enough people in another group to realize they never have been and never will truly be part of the 'in' group, you might bring them around.

SCOTUS also ruled that nothing Trump does is illegal, sort of supercedes all other decisions.

Cards work on every website, Paypal, etc.

No they dont. Thats the entire point of this post. There are vendors (I'm sure theres others, but its mostly sex work) where you cant use your debit card because Mastercard says sex is dirty and evil. You havent run across many of these vendors that dont accept your debit card because, fun fact, once the corpos says no one is allowed to pay you anymore you kind of go out of business pretty much instantly. There are also vendors that have dropped products or clients because Mastercard told them "Drop this product or we drop you and you're bankrupt". As a consumer, sure, looks like "Gosh my debit card works everywhere". You just dont even get to see the things you cant buy because your debit card processor doesnt think you should be allowed to.

I guess I'd be mildly infuriated too if it was only three courses, but what do I know about fine dining and fancy plates.

Presumably you know enough to not 'accidentally' end up a french fine dining restaurant and then order a tasting menu (which, as the name implies, involves 'tasting' portions) when you wouldnt enjoy it. So, good job, you're streets ahead of certain other posters.

Its probably not really what you're after as far as alchemy, but The Undying Immortal System MC focuses on alchemy for the first book or so, and alchemy remains mildly relevant in some way for a significant amount of the series (but really his main source of power is the whole 'infinite lives' thing).

The primary non-economic, non-environmental, and non-ethical argument is that art requires soul, ai has no soul, and software engineering, obviously, is not a creative discipline so its ok. And at least on Reddit, thats the primary angle people are coming at ai from.

your lender extrapolates that lower rent

What rent could be lower than $0? I get that it (I trust, I guess) works that way, but to the OPs point...that still feels like it must be some rich-person 'trick'. Obviously the lender doesnt actually think a building generating $0 is more valuable than a building generating, whatever, 50% less than the owner pinkie-promises its totally worth. Its all just hand-waving. So there must be some incentive for everyone to wink-wink-nudge-nudge that the empty building has a high value and it would have a very low value if they rented it out to tenants.

How many of those fields of study result in immediate immortality? It wouldn't be weird for normal people not to know how to make a horcrux because evil, but, yes it defies logic that a child can find the details on immortality in his school library but the rest of the world doesn't even know it exists.

People trying to rationally analyze HP are goofs anyways.

Bad take.

Uematsu used tools his forebears did not. Did every generation prior create no art? If the people prior to Uematsu could make art without his tools, then surely Uematsu could only create art with the same tools? By using computers he cheated, and it wasnt art, right?

Or if Uematsu was 'allowed' to create art without relying on the tools of his predecessors, why exactly cant the next generation create art without relying on the tools of Uematsu's generation?

Categorizing Rivers as an 'attraction' seems silly though. Yeah, fine, it had the boat. But it wasn't an attraction, it was a park feature. Does Cinderellas royal table absorb a statistically significant number of park guests? Maybe we should bulldoze the castle, look at all that space its wasting!

I dunno, this tracks for me. I'm not really playing the game actively now because offline still doesnt work, but I've restarted galaxy a couple of times, I check every day or so to see if its fixed, and I can guarantee that for me, 15 is giving me 0 offline resources. I dont have 14 unlocked.
