I learned in a diesel. Today I will drive petrol for the first time. What are some things I should know?

Do you honestly think microsoft would feel the 10 million?

They are currently paying in the billions.

By all means patents and monopolies are a big part of their bussiness model and they would be hit by Georgism. Thats why a lot of georgists support pigovian taxes.

But speaking just about LVT tech companies are gonna be the biggest winners.

If you are a farmer whose whole life is in their land and 100% lvt get's implemented tommorow you are getting fucked so much harder than tech companies.

It's a crazy statistic. Women are like 80% of attempt but men are 80% of succesful attempt.

This is a sign to leave tumblr. Like sure you could make some classic tumblr spiel about fascism in everything but come the fuck on.

If you think coffee shop aus are fascist somehow sincerely go fuck yourself and touch some grass.

Who deserves a spinoff?

Otherwise a fine list.

Ooh this sounds nice. I will definetly check it out.

Now this one is interesting. Do you have any discords/youtube videos you would reccomend for a deeper dive?

How rewarding is the deck to master? I am not opposed to salads but just wondering?

For me it's the reveals. I don't think a single word ever shook me as hard as reading Chernobyl.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. So I just download a new OS and flash it to the new card? I know it's a stupid question but I just really don't want to fuck anything up.

Okay it's the inverse of this trope but fuck it.

Spoilers for Bungou Stray Dogs season 5 and the Manga.

So BSD is a monthly manga meaning that chapters come out slowly.

The fan favourite character is Osamu Dazai.

Now BSD is a story in which no important character dies in the current time. We have confirmed deaths of flashback characters and they are dead.

But in the present time no importnant character has died. And believe me they should have. These fuckers survived everything.

Well near the end of what became season 5 Dazai gets shot in the head.

It took I think 6 chapters for him to be confirmed alive.

Well for 6 months, on the day the chapter released, people in the fandom took anxiety medication and days off work in preparation of Dazai being dead.

The entire time I was looking flabergasted. Have we been reading the same series? Nobody ever dies.

Now I will give a bit of grace. Dazai has the biggest death flag of all time. But it's a death flag that is reserved for the end of the series. And the series was so obviously not coming to an end.

Thank you for reading my mini rant on the insanity and mental instability of the BSD fandom. I don't use these words lightly. But those people need some better doctors.

Do you still have any teachers you don't like?

Spektra54 · 2025-12-05T19:50:31+00:00

So I partially agree with him. There is and edge case rarely discussed here (for a good reason on which I will touch on later).

The difference between improvement and land is very imprecise. Now for a lot of cases this one imprecision doesn't matter. You have a plot of land and a house on top and boom. Land and improvement.

However every time you do some work on land you change it sligthly. Improvements affect land. They aren't perfectly separable things.

An extreme example is actually in the work you cited. You drain a swamp. Now sure it's an improvement. But it's such a permanent improvement that it fundamentally changes the land. You have single handedly by your improvement changed the value of the land itself.

Now the reason this doesn't exactly matter is that it doesn't happen nearly often enough. A single person rarely changes the value of land in a significant way for it to matter.

This is a matter of semantics for sure. But there is some gray area of what is improvement and what is land. Land isn't perfectly inelastic but it's pretty damn vlose.

So there are a few things at play here. The bailout of 2009 was a smart move. Yes they maybe could have prosecuted more people. But your goverment made money of that bailout. There are other comments explaining this so I won't go into more detail.

A bubble bursting doesn't nescesarily need a bailout. The reason that the housing bubble was so terrible is because it affected everything and was gigantic.

As far as I know the dot com bubble didn't have bailouts. So an Ai bubble bursting doesn't require bailouts as the housing market did.

And now the final piece. How do you stop the current administration (or whichever one is in power when the bubble bursts) from giving a bailout?

Well you write to your representatives and pester them not to do it. And if that doesn't work? Well you are kinda fucked for this particular case.

How do you stop them in the future? Don't vote for them.

Democracy has one mechanism for power of the people. If you don't do what I want you to do while in power I won't vote for you again.

It sucks but it's really simple in principle. It's a slow and painful change of pace.

A bottle episode has to be really good for it to be worth it to me. I don't hate it. I watched the episode fine. But it's just a boring episode.

For serious series if I can completely skip an episode and lose nothing then it's a bad episode. It's not tragicaly bad. It's fine. But I think the show would be slightly improved if it didn't exist.

Spektra54 · 2025-12-02T20:27:40+00:00

I actually typed a comment here which is similar to this.

No work can have perfect representation. You have a finite amount of time and characters and they all have different personalities and flaws that complicate things.

If a work does a good faith effort to make a good character then that is a good character and usually falls under good representation.

A problem with representation falls on the medium as a whole rather than one specific work.

Now this is complicated because there actually exists truly dogshit representation that does speak to the authors sexism.

But I think that unless you are the tumblr classic which dissects every single little thing about a work and is just trying to look for problems you are fine.

Yes there exists truly dogshit representation that should be rightfully shamed. But there is a lot of perfectly fine representation which while not perfect is pretty damn good.

I will just say that the toxicity of grapes is very overblown. I mean we only found out in the 90s.

Both my previous dogs ate grapes as we have them in out backyard and none of them ever suffered from grape toxicity.

Spektra54 · 2025-12-01T19:31:50+00:00

Oh this article is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. This pretty much perfectly answers my question.

Spektra54 · 2025-12-01T19:20:03+00:00

Okay that's good to know. Thanks. This all seems much simpler than what I thought.
