You can volunteer yo not pay taxes. Move to some place without and renounce your citizenship. If I recall correctly Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a great deal of personal taxes.

They also fail to mention that the cost of materials today is wildly lower making larger homes easier to achieve. Not to also mention advances in building techniques.

Seconding this, and its a great game but only if you do like games where there is a story line, but its up to you to find it.

Don’t comment what a line is doing. Instead, write your code, especially names for variables, constants, classes, functions, methods and so on, so that they produce talking code that needs no comments.

Over and over and over again in my experience this just doesn’t work. Readable code does not substitute for comments about what the code should be doing.

Oh good, that’ll be my entire adult life as well as my youth. Yaaaaaaay!

I shuddered you bastard.

Okay, but now what about the people that have this part,

none of that means anything when you’ve hit the third month and you’re miserable and anxious and know this is what you’re in for now, everyday

But not this part,

** I’m** at a point in life where I earn a good living

(Emphasis mine)

Unless I misread the tone of your message, its frankly useless and more than little insulting. No shit some jobs suck, but if its the difference between homelessness, or going hungry that’s not a choice at all.

Strong disagree, under DST I get to experience some sunlight in then evenings. Under Standard time I get to watch the sun come up through the window and set through the window.

How can anyone look at …

Simple, be an insurance company. It’s a fricken cash cow.

For me its mostly the time factor. A 45 min drive takes 2 to 3 hours by transit in my city, or longer one way. And thats if busses show up and make connections. I would love to take transit but can’t make it work in a any that would mean I still get to sleep.

While this is an enormous leap forward from FPTP, it still seems like it would suffer from the same issues as STV. We need to both change the voting system, and move to some form of proportional representation, of which I tend to be a fan of Mixed Member Proportional.

I realise this thread is about the US and there are some structural differences, the over all message is the same. We need a move away from FPTP voting, and FPTP electoral systems.

Let’s take that dude isn’t generally considered a slur which is fine. It becomes one when someone asks you to not use that term in regards to them and you continue to do so.

People absolutely shouldn’t get offended if someone misterms them on first meeting. However if someone is constantly misgendering or what have you after being informed that the addressee doesn’t want to be addressed that way, that person does deserve to be shamed.

And if someone you respect asked you not to call them that? Would you disregard the wishes of your friends or family because that’s just the way you talk to everyone?

Yes. First thing to mind are the copyright implications of remixing someone else’s character, and the copyright the meme creator gets to the work regardless. Is it explicitly legal to do or is it just that most creates don’t care much, what about if you try to earn profit by publishing a book of meme?

Then there are the platforms the meme it is hosted on, is it home hosted, is it hosted on a mega tech site, both of which come with a host of differing legal responsibilities and implications.

It’s a movie but CPT Jack was right, you cant trust an honest person, but people do anyways.

Fucking everything is political. If you think something is too political its because your not political enough.

Your weekend is political, the 8 hour work day is political, the fucking air you breath and the pollution it is fucking political. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING POLITICAL!

Remember that the star trek era was preceded by a nuclear ww3, and the eugenics wars. We still seem to be on track.

Arcologies, sigh, thats the dream ain’t it. At best were wgtting Stargate slave society, at worst Metropolis. Neither is something I much want.

I can say that this is a common thing in engineering. Pretty much everyone I know would treat 1/2x as 1/(2x).

Which does make it a pain when punched into calculators to remember the way we write it is not necessarily the right way to enter it. So when put into matlab or calculators or what have you the number of brackets can become ridiculous.

Exactly, its not that I’m not interested in gaming anymore. It’s that none of the games released recently are worth playing.

In an endless sea of call of dooty clones and other derivative drek finding something decent has become hard. I want new ip damn it, not yet another remake or sequel.
