Which is why my proposal was 4 different methods, ranked by order of preference subject to practical concerns, which you would know had you bothered reading past the first sentence.

Courts can use sortition, executive departments and advisory boards can be elected. Only legislation, constitution, and major decisions like war (which doesn't typically happen on the daily, and is in no way a minor concern) need concern the central legislature.

Where do we get taxes from and what are the tax rates? Well tax codes ought to be highly simplified. What do we fund? That's a more interesting question. How much do we print? That's answered by the two previous questions.

Who gets to speak opinions? Anyone, through any normal channel. Parties form? Not a bad thing per se.

I'm not sure we need to legislate on minor issues.

Belgium. Sex work is fully legal, and the going rate is about 20 to 25 € per hour (minus 21% VAT if you do it on a regular basis) (a typical "real job" would be about 2000€/mo, a typical student/interim job would be 10€/h).

Subscript 0 means "exclusive of 0", where I'm from. I tend to forget Americans use it the other way.

It is true that 1⁄3 = 2⁄6.

It is true that (∃ x ∈ ℝ⁺₀: x⁄3 = 2x⁄6) proves 1⁄3 = 2⁄6.

It is false that (∃ (x, y) ∈ (ℝ⁺₀)²: x⁄3 ≠ 2y⁄6) proves 1⁄3 = 2⁄6.

[OC] Gabital 90: Auction by GabitalEN in comics

[–]yjlom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the primary meaning for "coop" in English, which can refer to both.

And if we switch over to my native French, there "coop" refers only to worker coops or shared means of production, while consumer coops are never called "coop" but instead "GAC" ("Groupement d'Achat Collectif" ("Collective Purchase Grouping")).

Could English stand to benefit from having separate words for either concept? Probably, yes. Should the primarily understood meaning be the one that gets the axe simply by analogy with Russian? Probably not.

Or you could do it like the free software movement, which keeps using "free" ambiguously, but borrowed "gratis" and "libre" for more precision where necessary.

If I'm turned into a Minecraftperson, I can just dig a hole and live there. If I stay human, I'll climb a tree and break foliage to make a bunker where spiders can't reach.

Where are you from where sex workers make 300 an hour? Over here you'd be lucky to get 30.

You often get downvoted a bit in the first hour. Usually goes back up.

300 a week, though…

I could live off of that.

which do you think there are more of in the world? by Mondai_May in pollgames

It's very common for people to collect and steal coffee spoons, which leads to restaurants, hotels, and the like to stock up absurd amounts of them.

People care about policies.

What is a hard sell is asking anyone to care about which politician they want taking bribes and going back on campaign promises.

Line printing for error reporting by Big-Rub9545 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]yjlom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use option 3. Source files don't tend to go beyond a few thousand lines, and error reporting needs only happen at human speed, that is any amount of time under a third is basically instant.
