No, because majority governments in my opinion have too much power. One of the reasons I like proportional representation is precisely because it tends to result in more minority governments, and thus better representation for a larger portion of the population. This is one of the reasons I prefer Mixed Member Proportional over things like Single Transferable Vote. The later leading to majority governments means that I disfavor it, but would still take it over FPTP.

Not OP but had a thought reading your comment. I wonder how much of this perceived shift in language is driven by corpo’s sanitizing for advertisers and how much is young people who have been fully raised online.

As you say, humans are social animals. It makes sense to me then, that if you were raised within an online environment you would naturally extend that sociability to it. However, if much of this technology grow after you were socialized would you be more inclined to see it as a relief valve to vent anger into.

I mean, no? Its given in the question that option one is an infinite amount of people. Its not limited to just the existing human race.

Pretty sure its a natural gas powered water heater, so that would be the gas supply line. As to the incandesance, no clue.

If its some rando at the park spraying liquids of unknown origin on strangers, maybe calling the cops is reasonable. Calling the cops on a neighbour at a party for spraying you accidentally while following a child, overreaction. I hope they have any more parties and specifically ban that jerk neighbour’s who called the cops.

Young Men have largely been abandoned.

There are many reasons for this, but it still hurts when you need help and kindly get told to get lost because we don’t have supports for men and boys.

Oh wow, its almost like every thing has gotten too 'expletive ridden rant expensive. What did they expect to happen with the ever increasing costs of everything? For everyone to just keep making money ad infinitum.

Which I think its important to point out isn’t an endorsement. It means that we in the west should be doing everything we can to enforce our saftey standards on products sold in our countries, and if that isn’t possible then we should be bringing the manufacturing back onshore.

As an addition any company that’s 'too big to fail is also to big to exist and needs to be broken up. Where thats not practicle then it needs to be nationalized and operated as a non-profit/crown corporation.

Agreed. It’s not that I belive that the copyright holder shouldn’t have some time period that they get all rights to an ip. It’s that the current standard of lifetime plus 70 years is batshit fucking crazy.

I tend to support 20 years or less. Long enough to turn a good profit, short enough that someone who grows up with a piece of ip as part of the culture has rights to use it to their own ends.

I’d go as far as Windows 2000. This new XP crap is too shiny, and why did they hide the controls?

Maybe for you. They put windows on cloths machines and people watch the heck out of those, let me watch the dishes clean.

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.

Nah, at that point you just need articulated limos!

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.

I just want to point out how incredible it is that in today’s age we have this incredible amount of entertainment available. Even if we apply Sturgeons law that’s still a fill years worth of solid games. He’ll, do it twice. That still means there’s at least 5 bangers in that mess, and I find it incredible that most all of that content is recent!

That’s only because you individually have been made responsible for the election. Every one else was at the meeting and didn’t want the job. Good luck, and don’t choose wrong!

As the opposite to this it takes me a solid month to get to a point where getting up for work at 8 doesn’t kill me. It takes all of an afternoon nap to flip back to my preferred sleep pattern of 2am to 10am. I CAN get up early, me and my meatsuit really don’t seem to want to though.
