Oh for sure I get you, I was agreeing too and just musing on why I keep banging my head against this wall haha!

I wonder where else this might of been attempted, like maybe somewhere where they had a crane with a flag ready to lower to set up a shot, with severe security flaws, and for some reason instead of hiding the VIP jumped up and put up their fist?

Yeah I wonder where else…

Yeah but for some reason a lot of people need more proof… I like to point out when the rapey bile oozes out of it.

“I think I can do anything I want with it”

don’t those just sound like the words of someone who has raped people?

If India wasn’t going to make the buy before… I bet they don’t now! (unless we give them a helluva deal)… Also wonder what Canada is going to do about their order!

subtract 5 feet from the next one boys!

yah thats the right way, was curious about OP since they offered the different spellings.

how did the soup go over?

but is it sillian or murderillian

Absolutely NO ONE could have seen this coming…

Are you the person who was asking about making soup for your first date/hook up since he left you at his house the morning after?

Not judging, just curious.

yeah no sounds like a decent deal and you’re a kickass house mate to have, I also WFH so I have often wondered about how a roomate/housemate relationship would work from a business / financial perspective, appreciate the data point.

I feel your pain about the career aspect, also 15 years in my field and I have a spouse… So I get it - doubt I would of partnered up if I had been able to afford living expenses on my own. (I love my spouse and I am overall happy, I just think I may have made different choices in a different set of circumstances).

Do you and your housemate pay the same rent for the space? Not trying to start anything, just curious how that part of the deal works out.

I think if you look at the recent history (post WWII) of people charged with treason formally by the United States you will see that execution and a charge of treason, are pretty closely linked.

I never intended to posit my comment as encompassing all human wants and desires, but I do believe I have touched on the “basic bill of rights” that most people would agree on.

Tax the excessively wealthy.

I’m not an economist, so I won’t sit here and give a number of what level of wealth should be taxed, but I think it fits under “I know it when I see it”

If you’re buying multiple vacation properties, if you own a yacht or a private jet, you’re probably it.

but these archives and sources of information are a shared resource for everyone, we all have a responsibility to pitch in and help support them.

Placing the blame squarely at our [US] feet is misguided and seeds your own responsibility to civilization to “flaccid anus of selfish corporate group think.”

Like how can you disagree with that? I’m not excusing any actions, or defending the choices, again, I donate to Wikipedia every time they ask - we all are responsible to protect and defend this knowledge, you can’t call on the people of the United States alone to do it.

I would recommend spending some time comprehending what you read before responding.

I think people want to not be hungry, I think they want to have time for leisure, I think they want to not worry about whether they will pay the rent or put groceries in their fridge (forget about a vacation).

I think people want a guarantee that after working for 40 years they can retire and spend some of their life freely.

I think people want to know that they won’t go bankrupt because they get cancer.

I think you’re making it way more complicated than it is.

If the top 1% wasn’t collecting an equal share of wealth to the bottom 40% people these things could be possible.

thats fair, my experience with autocrats, in such a personal way, is limited (fortunately).

I don’t understand what the man does to get people to be so ready to excuse him for his actions, feels like some kind of magic.
