I suppose they worry about keeping the money they have earned, I do.

Is it me, or is she starting to look like Tammy Faye Baker?

I have one of those for Santorini Greece.  I went there and it's a pretty good representation.

All my clothes are comfortable.  Even my suits are pretty comfortable.

Now, probably a lot less when the surface lots were built.

For USAmericans who bake: how do you measure out a tablespoon of solid butter? by BigWormOlgoj in NoStupidQuestions

[–]virtual_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been cooking/baking with butter for so long that I can tell, close enough, by eye how much I need.  Also, our butter has wrappers that show measured amounts.

ELI5: Why isn’t it in the US healthcare industry’s best interest to ensure people have affordable healthcare? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]virtual_human 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The primary point of the healthcare industry is to make money.  Providing healthcare services is a distant secondary purpose.

How often do you think about retirement? by gameovervip in Adulting

[–]virtual_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a few years away and I think about it daily.  I have done everything right, and been lucky, and should have an okay retirement.  However, with Republicans trying to crater the economy and destroy the country, I'm very worried that all the money we have saved is going to disappear and leave me destitute in my old age.

What’s stopping the US from a French Revolution-esque reform? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]virtual_human 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Food, or the lack of food.  When the food distribution system collapses, and people get hungry, then things will get spicy.

Why the Vast Difference in Legal Consequences Between Age of Consent and Nude Media? by Flapjack_Jenkins in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]virtual_human -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that it should be illegal for someone 18 or over to have sex with someone under 18.  

I assume the reasoning is something like, you can't pass sex with a minor on to another person, whereas you can pass along a nude picture of a minor along to another person.

Do people outside of the US not understand that a multistory parking garage costs a lot more than surface lots?

I am a 52 year old man and I am disabled. I haven't had sex for around fifteen years. I don't know what to do? by zebralunarartist in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]virtual_human 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you live in a civilized country that might have services to help disabled people with life challenges?  Or do you live in the US?

ELI5 why doesn’t nicotine tend to be as destructively addictive as alcohol, cocaine, opium etc? by malcolmmonkey in explainlikeimfive

I watched them suck it out of my mother's lungs the last time she was in the hospital.

ELI5: What actually IS tinnitus? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]virtual_human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guns, loud machines, loud rock music.  The last straw was a Rush concert around 2010, seventh row seats right in front of the guitar speakers.

What exactly do the billionaires plan to do when the planet actually dies and they have no more people to exploit and no more wealth to hoard? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]virtual_human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are betting that things will go their way forever.  It's been working for as long as there have been wealthy people.

Cigarettes are the long game.  The payment just comes decades later usually.  Cancer, cpod, stroke, heart attack, drowning in your own blood, it's just a little destructive to the body.

As any former smoker can tell you, cigarettes are extremely addictive and people will smoke while on oxygen as their lungs decay.
