I don’t know why you’re getting downvotes.

“Is tangible, clear, and vocal action better than silent protest that leaves the only colleague with a spine out to dry?” you ask, and people have the audacity to boo - ironically a stronger push back than wearing a polically motivated t-shirt.

I mean, as humans, toxicity isn’t a deterrent, it’s a selling feature!

Get ready. Conservatives who have boasted the economy doing well when the stock market ever went up are going to start telling you how the stock market isn’t a metric for the true economy

But he’s draining the swamp! And the bogs, fens, wetlands, critical aquifers…

Counterpoint: Do travel to Europe with that shirt, for the same reasons you said.

Terminal velocity is really only relevant for objects that go below terminal velocity and then start falling. Bullets famously come out of guns very fast, so fast they go into people.

While air will slow the bullet down, tell that to the guy over over 2 miles away from Viacheslav Kovalskyi

Now, bird shot ain’t sniper rounds, but the point stands.

“Put him to death!” is an interesting take from the “violence is never the answer” team.

But you don’t understand, see, he didn’t consent to being taxed, therefore it’s theft.

Be kind to them, they were kidnapped and imprisoned for many years since birth. The earlier years involved many forms of humiliating torture.

I bet the security detail wouldn’t even get insurance coverage for being wounded in the line of duty as it’s obviously negligent to put yourself in harms way like that

Quit exhaling! We have a climate crisis!

And I hope his peers understand that he should be sentanced to community service and what he’s done is already time served

To be fair, Rogers didn’t die. It monopolized data communication with insufficient regulation. It had an inevitable outage that could have been bypassed if not for the reasons listed.

Rogers continues to make stacks while the public foots the bill.

They do it on purpose and it really does make sense. For everyone who supported the game they got the very best value of it. It sucks to pay full price only to have a sale pop up a few weeks or months later and you think “ah, I should have waited!” You buy the game, you support the devs, they keep working on the game, the game gets more, the price goes up for more game.

I wishlisted it when it was under $20. The price went up and up and didn’t go down. When I learned it was intentional and would never be cheaper, I bought it and eventually sunk 300 hours over loads of updates. Now the price tag is higher and I get to think “I’m glad I bought it when I did” and not “I should have waited”

The best time to buy Factorio was 8 years ago. The second best time is now.

It’s like the cost of one banana

It is with that attitude

Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.

If only we had some sort of public entity that could fund housing investments with little to no financial gain, but great gains to public support and well-being that was also in charge of controlling and permitting immigration rates so that the two could be balanced…

No. No, that’s not it at all.

Immigrants would be better served by unprofitable low income housing, not feeding their meager scraps to pay artificially inflated rent prices to an offshore real estate investment company.

I don’t think anyone wants to make a brand new condo and try to full it full of fresh immigrants that other businesses are exploiting to pay less.

They want to develop 1 set of condos they can sell for $300k+ rather than 3 sets for $100k

It might not help you, but it helped me to recognize when laying in bed trying to “sleep in” wasn’t going to happen. If I’m not asleep again in 5 minutes and it’s past a certain time (6:30 for me), fuck it. My body just aches if I lay in bed awake trying to sleep. I get up and enjoy the quiet morning.
