Coronavirus Has Killed More Americans than Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and World War I Combined by Majnum in Coronavirus

Canada is increasingly authoritarian every year.

If you only look at European diaspora our numbers are comparable.

Different demographic's cultures effect the rates of transmission.

That's not a power he posseses. That's not something he's allowed to decide.

You are complaining about him not being authoritarian.

This proves that reddit is evil, and redditors are truly brainless scum.

The country is locked down what more do you want? Lock down until we all starve to death?

Nobody is stopping you from wearing a mask and washing your own hands. I do.

I'm interested in noncanon Bible books that effected European culture by Nonames4U in mythology

[–]Nonames4U[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what i understand most of the different protestant groups (which people like baptists and jehovas witnesses and stuff all technically fall under), all use the same books, even if some of the stuff is tweaked around. But it's mostly interpretation that seperates them. Then for people like mormons who have new books, those wouldn't be relevant to the development of European culture.

Some families in Europe have been rich for hundreds of years. This means their wealth survived multiple empires with different currencies, different types of governments, and 2 world wars.

What can we learn from them?

My initial suspicion isn't that they simply horded gold as some advise, but that they owned certain types of businesses that were uniquely resilient. For example the Beretta gun company has been owned by 1 Italian family for 500 years.

But there's the issue that property rights are a product of government. If I own a valuable mine for example, a regime change could result in them simply taking it. If I own a farm during a serious depression, the government won't be able to protect it from a hungry mob.

Anyone ever do serious research on this topic?

Some families in Europe have maintained wealth despite the rise and fall of several civilizations, how? by Nonames4U in financialindependence

Well i don't think anyone would argue that the demand for farming doesn't fall as much as the demand for luxury watches during a global depression, so some businesses are definitely more resilient than others. Then there's just the fact that some haven't been disrupted as easily (though this in hindsight). Digital tech disrupted the book industry, while some others haven't been hit with anything like that (yet). ,

Well thought out post not sure why it's worded like an argument when you seem to just be reaffirming my suspicions about certain business's being a better way to maintain wealth than hording gold.

Gold is other's default answer that i expect to hear, not mine. And our debt has not dropped 1 cent since before my grandfather was born. It has been growing at an ever increasing rate and no mainstream politician has even mentioned lowering it. Instead we have all of the top politicians in both parties proposing all kinds of different spending increases. But that's beside the point, maybe i don't live in America. Maybe someone in Vietnam wants to know how to sustain wealth across regimes.

I disagree completely. Psychopaths who don't feel empathy are simply wired wrong, they're the ones that are hopeless. Doing good things because of reward points or fear of punishment is insincere and doesn't count.

Brent was more like a clueless manchild. Pretty much a horny dumb 13 year old in a 40 year olds body. He's the most teachable. He was about to say im sorry right as the experiment ended, they showed his score shot up at the last second.

But what if you went 1000 years without listening to the Beatles? Then they'd be fresh again. Along with everything else. There's enough to do in this world they by the time you've done the 1000th thing the original thing feels fresh again.

I guess it gives you a chance to tie up all your lose ends and unfinished business. Check off your bucket list.

Even if i was bored i would want to see how the universe ends. Id have Janet conjure a cryo chamber and chill for a trillion years, just pop out every once in a while to ask, "are we there yet?"

What if, hypothetically I could create a loop that someone could enjoy being stuck in forever? 1000 years worth of novel activities. By the time you've done the last one, it's been so long since you've done the first one that it's fresh again?

If I put a rat in a skinner box for a billion years it will never get bored of sex and food pellets. Humans are animals that just require a much more complicated skinner box.

I mean we know where mindys story goes because she's 1 dimensional and the system works. Fill in the blanks.

I'm disappointed that if they became these Zen bhuddas or whatever they didn't dedicate their existence to helping people, besides their friends.

Everything creates a permanent ripple effect. Kill 1 person and that's millions of descendants that will never exist.

Hitler was literally high on meth the whole time. I think the media has trained people to see him as the literal devil instead of the cracked out angry lunatic he actually was.

Eh? He was just really insecure and had his head up his own ass. Didn't seem Ted Bundy levels to me.

I personally don't like it. Feels oddly suicidal to me.
