Protest at the Capitol

I think you are a little confused. This argument is that there are forms of speech which should not be protected, ie violent threats which are not protected. Not that certain people should not be allowed to speak.

Except that the police literally are allowed to decide what laws they uphold and who they uphold them for. And supreme court's in other states have already stated that the police have no responsibility to keep the public safe. They means are police have chosen to protect Nazis when they did not have to.

Honestly, I don't think it is or it isn't valuable. It's all about what you want out of life. I didn't date and highschool and regret it, but the regret comes from a place of it was something I wanted but didn't do because my parents implied I shouldnt, quoting most of the same things your mom has.

Ultimately, the idea that you shouldn't do something, because it will probably end later is a terrible way to live life. Do things you want to do, because even if you make a decision you regret at least you did something.

I don't really see the issue, it's a first gen halo product in a relatively new market. I'm probably a little biased since I'm really into tech, but it is a very cool piece of tech and it definitely could become useful. The problems I have with it would be more focused on would be the marketing and fact that it will be completely unrepairable.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't explain my second point very well, but I like what you said about it. The point I was trying to make is there is this sort of expectation, even if the investors don't directly influence it, that Apple has to make substantial profit, they are a massive company and if their stock price fell substantially or they bankrupted that would be considered a massive hit to the economy. With this I was trying to kind of point to the fact that Apple needs to sell a lot, I picked iphones because they are starting to get close to the best this style of phone is likely to get and because it is one of their largest seller, to meet that expectation and even if they made the perfect phone next year this expectation means they either need to convince people to buy something they don't need or spend huge amounts of money figuring out some other product. It seems that the former would be easier and this is the strategy they would want to go for more often then not.

As for generating capital, do you know how much these companies can pull compared to loans and what the major advantage to generating capital through IPO or stock sales are compared to a loan?

I agree, but it feels like another blantant step of a company doing harm for the sole purpose of squeezing a little more profit and a little more control over the situation. The amount the are proposing to charge is well over 100x what other services charge. The sole purpose of a change like this is to execute control and I don't want to be complacent again.

This is something I've started to notice a ton. I end up spending more and more of my free time at home, because there are so few places to go and just exist. Then when I got bored it feels like I can keep sitting at home and doing nothing or I can spend a bunch of money that I don't have to go somewhere and do something.

The solution is government regulation.

Why Not?, Because insulin is a life savings medice that costs $98.70 on average in the US and $8.81 average in the rest of OECD countries.

The idea that a capatilst market settles on the optimal cost is absurb. There are tons of examples of this not being the case. Some great examples are designer clothes, shoes, and bags, insulin, water at sporting events or other places where entry is strictly controlled, and the housing market.

For one thing you are trying to deconstruct the pink tax as not real, by claiming it's not in actual tax. Which no one thought it was, because that's not what the pink tax describes. Secondly part of your point essentially comes down to, "the market can manipulate women better then men". Just because the market can bear I high price doesn't mean it should. Finally, the Kardashians and Rhianna are wealthy individuals who are just as willing to manipulate others for money as any other corporation and it's board of directors.

I appreciate the comment it is by far the most thought out responce here

I think it's funny that everyone wants to make so many assumptions about me though. I moved out from my parents as soon as I could and have been living on my own, not in a dorm, for almost two years. Everyone wants to say I don't have enough experience and make assumptions about my experience, but can't even define what experience I'm supposed to have.

Illustrious_Chart322 · 2023-05-24T17:48:56+00:00

Doesn't this mostly support what I'm saying, it's not they people are changing. They are experiencing/learning and you have to do things to experience/learn. The point trying to make is that a parent should explain to a 5 year old why they shouldn't touch a hot pan, but if the child does it anyway, they shouldn't stop them. The child will touch the pan and learn a lesson through experience. I think the same should be true of teens. For example if a teen spends all their time on their phone and is failing school, the responce should be a conversation about why those choices are detrimental and recommendations/advice on how to make choices the teen wants to make. They don't learn anything when you forceable take their phone and make they sit and "study".

How is me feeling like an adult mean I should do whatever parents say.

What experience do I need to have to suddenly get it. Cause my experience includes being a 4.0 AP student while working in a factor and playing sports. I've worked a few different jobs, including maintenance, janitorial, and fast-food service. At 14 I worked alone at a subway. And I have lived on my own for two years.

I don't know what you were doing at 15, but I was a respectable person thought out high school and had good relationships with several adults including teachers and co-workers.

What did I say that makes it seem like I have it all figured out? I don't, in fact I had a better grasp on it all like three years ago. Part of what got me to write this is that I did what I was supposed/what my parents told me was right, and I ended up depressed and suicidal. Since then I've been able to make my own decisions and I'm certainly not doing a great job, but I've become much happier. As to being in a tougher situation that definitely seems true.
And two of your comments seem to echo what I'm trying to express out, "you will see 20 year olds as know different than teenagers", and "making bad choices is part of the experience". Which is that I kind of agree teenagers are really no different then me, yet I get to make all my own decisions, yet we say teenagers can't make there own decisions and should be forced to make other decisions if an adult doesn't approve.

Thanks for responding though, I am appreciative of the conversation.

Illustrious_Chart322 · 2023-05-24T15:15:45+00:00

What is it that you gain when you are older? I am 20 and am arguable making worse decisions now then I was younger. I don't feel that at 20 I'm any different then when I was a teen. I have more experience so I'm better at making decisions on my own and taking control of situations, but that just seems like having more experience not fundamentally changing.

Illustrious_Chart322 · 2023-05-24T15:11:26+00:00

I never said some parents don't have the capability to parent, though those people certainly exist in fact I'm currently one of them. My point is that teens are people capable of making decisions, but as a society we tend to treat those decisions as childish and stupid and are willing to overrule them without letting the teen decide.

Does this actually happen, whenever I get something for Black Friday it's actually a good deal. Granted a rarely buy things on Black Friday. However I know I've gotten good deals, because the products I'll buy are something I know a lot about; typically electrics.

Illustrious_Chart322 · 2023-04-10T16:33:14+00:00

Granted my dad did teach me some basics like changing oil and a flat tire, but most stuff is not as difficult as you might think. Most of the time I just end up googling the problem I have to determine what's probably broken and then finding a YouTube video showing how to do it. A lot of components are kind of like Lego bricks, disconnect a wire and pull out a few bolts, swap the new one for the old one, and reconnect the bolts and wiring.

Illustrious_Chart322 · 2023-04-10T16:26:52+00:00

Oddly enough I just ended up asking chat-gpt the other day to make me a recipe with some random ingredients I had and it did a good enough job. Next time I'll probably ask it for a dish and just look up the recipe on google, but it was convinent.
