It says funding is already in place, so expect the tech companies to be footing the bill again, maybe some oil companies too this time, trading favors for investments in Venezuela infrastructure rebuilding.

What the fuck?

You’re arguing what should be. I would argue the same. We’re explaining what is.

You act like there’s ever been separation of church and state. There has not.

My mom and dad and myself and my younger brother are all alcoholics. Two of us have recovered, two of us have not.

My youngest brother is on the spectrum and refuses to touch alcohol at all because he’s watched it destroy lives and steal souls.

That’s how this chart plays out in my family., ymmv.

Everyone I saw talking about this said it was likely fake.

Starbucks was an amusing rise and fall.

• Put one on every street-corner, possibly across the street from each other.
• Run all the other coffee shops out of business
• Let your stores fail because they can’t sustain themselves
• Competitors notice this, and move in with drive-through-only stores

Of course the competitors are small chains and the original shops were indie, but that’s just the free hand of the market fisting some folks without lube

He’s fairly good at damage control, I mean people with a triple-digit IQ see through it, but none of those folks are in his base so

I think my TV is like 32" and 720p from 2012 or so. It’s fine.

Before that I had a projector which was fun sometimes but mostly too big for the room. Cool to take psychedelics and run a visualizer while it was pointed along the floor at you. You could feel the fractals on your skin. I don’t do that anymore, so a 32" TV is fine.

This does answer some questions for me. On more than one occasion tried to arrange a simple BJ and the other guy gets more and more specific with his requests until it’s “hey do you think you could do your business in my mouth” and I’m like, no, we’re all done talking thanks. Most recently a couple months ago.

The day after I bought my last car, a shopping cart got caught by the wind and slammed into my door, big scrape. Now I judge people who don’t do it. We have several businesses who do reentry programs, including the supermarket itself, who hires convicts to be cashiers. Hardware store and bakery do the same thing, just up the street. If returning carts is the only job an ex convict can get, you need to urge more stores to hire them, not leave your carts around the lot.

I went to an Aldi not realizing they would have this, I do not carry pocket change. Asked clerk to break a bill for change, he just handed me a quarter from the till. I’m like, thanks I’ll bring this back I guess, he said he didn’t care. Oookay. Still not sure what to do with that free 25¢, invest it maybe.

Many Americans wandering around so stoned, they avoid actual human contact entirely, so self checkout is desirable. No need to make smalltalk or eye contact with another human. We have lost the ability to interact in the smallest of ways with strangers.

It’s also the issue Obama said would probably never see change because the people who benefit from it are the only ones who can change it.

Why people downvote this? Mod being friendly and polite, giving a chance to keep the post up instead of just deleting it on the spot like SOME websites do. This rule isn’t arbitrary. You need written permission from the original author to reproduce an article.

hahahahahahahaha

Study just enough to start your own business. Do NOT study so hard you become convinced it’s impossible to do, that you become afraid and weak. A business class is great. A business degree is too far. You need a little magical thinking to succeed, basically you need to lie to yourself about how successful you can be, and if you do it right, you’ll believe your own lies and succeed. Unless your parents are wealthy and will just hand you a business when you turn 18, in which case, kill yourself.

Ironically every corporation bars you from doing that because they would be liable. There are probably some small mom-and-pop places that advise drivers to carry. And of course plenty do despite the rules against it.

Although one day even the fascists will realize there has to be income, no one’s been collecting from the plebs, so they’ll go back through… getting audited for multiple past years at once isn’t fun, trust and believe. So be as honest as your AI will make you.
