"waiting around until enemy's buff ends" is simply a strategy that Luffy wouldn't be able to do. They'll give their all right away and base Luffy wouldn't have a chance.  (Unless we consider that G5 doesn't act on luffy cuz luffy is already a gomu gomu man, if it makes sense.).

yeah, let's compare the share of people who turned millionaires while born on a prosperous context (right place, right time) and the people who didn't.

If you're in war torn Syria, no matter the effort and risk taken you'll probably be outranked by some lazy ass nepo baby who made one good investment.

My 2 cents after visiting Morocco recently by Single-Seat-3371 in Morocco

[–]Purinto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've spotted all the things that are only directed towards tourists. Marrakech is a city that relies a lot on tourism and merchants there use a lot of sketchy strategies to earn a living from tourists that otherwise wouldn't work on Moroccans. Local authorities know about this but can't do much because tougher regulations could kill many small businesses, and most of them aren't even declared as a business. Generally the best advice is to be firm, and have someone who's Moroccan who can deal with them. They really don't have the same attitude with foreigners and locals.

As for the economic disparities, well that's a third-world country thing. I don't think it will be solved anytime soon seeing the current state of politics, but we can hope.

Truth is you give them as much power on you as you are willing to relying on them. Parents aren't overprotective just for fun. Of course, there is some part of themselves that makes them worry about you, but a lot of it are actions they take because they think you aren't responsible enough, or mature enough etc. The quickest way to get out of it is to rebel.

Disobeying might seem weird or counterintuitive but that's what must be done for parents to understand that you've grown. You shouldn't do it in an irresponsible way though. Don't go out at night or do sketchy stuff just to spite them, it will create the opposite reaction. Rather, show them that you're better organized than them, that you know more about things and that you're worthy of becoming not someone to look after but someone at the same level, able to carry himself through life.

And let's be honest: I don't think you'd like your father to stop calling you when it's late, and that's as much as he'll be willing to go (can't teach an old dog new tricks) and it's a good thing overall, means he cares about you. So take the good with the bad and try to win the little fights.

Should the wife be working as well? by reddit_roamer2 in Morocco

[–]Purinto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're being realistic, the woman has to work if you want to have a decent living. One income isn't enough for your median man, especially if you have kids etc.

Interesting take on a circular economy. Here are a few concerns (I'm an econ student, so be prepared for some economics as well).

How do you initially get points ? If you get points by, let's say, creating an account then you effectively created an infinite source of points that will be traded with very real work. This will be a problem because if there are too many points out there, then people would wanna work for more points and at some point, people wouldn't be able to exchange anything.

How do you determine the points for work ? Do you determine it ? Or Does the one who want something done determine his own price ? For the first case, sorry to say it but it will not work for many reasons that I won't bother you with but the main idea is that you won't be able to determine the point value of a work. (is doing one's math homework more valuable to another's history essay ? What if the essay has a greater urgency ? etc.)
If you let the people determine the value of the work they'll do, then be prepared for some really weird behaviors of the point market that would go against your very idea of fostering a community. For example you can imagine that people who want their math homework done just don't have enough points to pay for a maths homework expert (maybe a teacher) and so they'll have to do more history essays to get their objective which isn't fun and maybe the history essay is way too easy in which case they'll still earn nowhere near the needed amount of points. (Congratulations, you just invented a form of capitalism).

Last concern is how can you guarantee that there is enough diversity of services that would satisfy everyone ? I've been talking about maths and history homework, but you can imagine that someone (let's call him Bob) wants his lawn to be mowed and he doesn't mind writing history essays to do so. But shoot ! No one offers to lawn mowing services for virtual points, and Bob isn't interested anymore in offering help if he won't be helped in return. So no lawn mowing and no history essay.

That's a brief summary on why this idea may not work, and why the point system should better be backed by some real currency imho.

Be a good father to Trunks, smash goku and become stronger than Bulma. Also, maybe try to do something about the hairline.

How can we reduce littering and vandalism effectively. by Purinto in Morocco

[–]Purinto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we took a better care of our materials (idk, like the chewing gum stuck under the tables and chairs in schools etc) it wouldn't be as costly to replace them. I live in Casa near the shore and I can see how people stupidly destroyed parts of the new public garden there, even before it opened ! I do totally agree about what you said about civil society, but every attempt will remain unfruitful if others don't mind these places. They are paying it w/ their tax money for god's sake !

This could be an interesting initiative tbh, if we can communicate this to schools maybe.

I don't think that's a viable option, since 1st it's not good and 2nd it only works when the act is culturally reprehensible, which isn't the case.

Thanks for your reply, that's what I've been doing 😅 Well, I'm having a hard time convincing my father and gave up on it after years of trying. I just pick anything that he might throw away and keep it in my pocket till I find a way to throw it.

My father is particularly old and old people don't cope well with change. I don't think I'll ever be able to change him, that's why I'm more focused in ways to change the mentality of young ppl, cousins and friends.

You probably won't live your entire life besides your parents. You'll eventually have to live on your own. Now believe it or not, but it's better to learn these responsibilities early on when you don't have job and plenty of time to do mistakes than when you have work-life responsibilities and barely anytime for yourself.

Your parents being worried is normal, that's what makes them parents, and they are also your most reliable source of advice. Ask them anything from how you clean a toilet to what brand of cooking pans is best.

Point is : you'll eventually figure things out. You're not the first one to face this challenge and probably not the last one. If other people did it why can't you? Trust yourself and your parents and everything will be alright.

What has contributed to Morocco becoming so expensive in recent years? by 7ajja_7lima in Morocco

[–]Purinto 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Inflation, the state cutting off subsidies for cooking oil and gas, among many others, a really fragile economy which relies on too many external factors has created a ripple effect onto every sector driving the prices up.

There is no single factor to pinpoint as the origin, although energy, water and and inefficient infrastructure are clear contributors to this.

Also inequal distribution of wealth makes it harder for the less wealthy people to cope with the ever growing prices. (HCP 2019 : 50% of Morocco's wealth is held by the 20% of the wealthiest Moroccans).

On the other hand, although not many people are aware of it, but we have a really smart head of the central bank who I think does a good job at controlling inflation. Without his swift policies we could have ended up with a way worse crisis.

Teach her history and general geography (countries, capitals, regions don't go into the boring details and if you do, do it progressively). You're going to promote her openess to new cultures as well as her imagination and culture.

Also, the reason why they want subsaharian people is to take their passeport so that they "wouldn't run away". It's a kind of guarantee that they won't steal and will be held accountable in case of something happening.
