Pikachu, I choose you … to get here and make that face.

… self-care out.

And yes, we definitely should realize how brainwashed we are to always think of the poor extremely rich people.

Are you saying human quality of life is more important than (strictly financial) profits?? I’m thought that is blasphemy and that I must shame you for it. How dare.

For now. But soon it will just depend on what brand wants to advertise using the whole of the sky.

… you can’t seriously build a system that is meant to take advantage of every situation, praise if for taking advantage of every situation, align it’s interests in taking advantage of every situation and then be surprised it took advantage of a situation. We should be better than Pikachu.

Yes.

But it’s a blurred lines between having to do something or being pressured or heavily encouraged to do something (otherwise you are left out of an important social system).

I’m totally agreeing with you, just adding that sometimes infrastructure matters (as it gives little choice to population) & can be especially bad if there is a single entity behind it with it’s own agenda not aligned with users interests (eg for profit companies, or in this case I guess geopolitical stuff too).

Ahh, that explains why humans are seemingly trying to get rid of everything green that isn’t green plastic. Working exceptionally hard & coordinated at it actually.

It’s a shame humans we see so many shades of green comparatively …

It’s not like private jets are gonna get any less use even if taxed 1000% on everything, so ez money. Even the poor lobby workers are gonna get some work this way (sarcasm, also because usually payed by results). Most of actual private jet users aren’t gonna notice.

Humans: [get inked from orbit]

The squids: It was the only way to be sure.

My self hosted DNS does all of that banning too. But that’s just my little quality of life thing (and whatever little that does fighting the global data overlords).

And what if animals have guns + gun training? :D

I don’t mean necessarily like monkeys, I’m envisioning cephalopods with 8 guns. Or a tiny invertebrate with satellite weapon targeting systems.

… just realized … what if you give the animal/animals +guns & +healthcare, just for fun … ?

I’m imagining a chicken sitting on the button of a chain gun giving you the sideways stink eye (classic birb tbh).

Indeed, yes. There are actually a lot of such cases in EU (state sponsors directly or indirectly housing projects a few 100 units at a time), even if it’s “just” a case of better priced (still market priced, but not that extremely “for profit” driven) offerings, people either get to buy or at least to live in contemporary housing of some stature/location (bcs commute is a killer in every non-economical sense). This builds local communities, art, places to live/visit/enjoy, and facilitates families/family needs.

It also helps to stabilize the market & gives a chance for normal people to (somewhat) catch-up up to the market they helped to built/their labor built.

Lul, this is actually a really good point.

So a fairly advanced 34" crt is like 85" tft nowdays.

Omg, yes!!

For real. I thought I was in NotTheOnion.

Lul, imagine thinking you won a fight, but after a while realising the great tit you wrestled with made you go bankrupt & now you have to pay loan interest for the rest of your life.

But do not forget to specify, that you mean ‘in a fight’.

Oh, yeah, politicians working for themselves, that’s the exact same reason why taxes on rent are usually kinda low/treated specially.

Yes, really long loans are predatory or if you want to look at it from a different perspective, a result of a non-functioning system. Financial obligations tax mental health, trap people, make enormous cumulated profits on capital without any work & negligible risk.

Central banks restrict max durations on mortgages/loans as is (also like what clients minimal disposable income after loan payments must be each month, age, max ratio of loan to property value, etc). And yes, if nothing else changes, that is bad for young people trying to buy a house, start a family, central banks acknowledge that, but their job is monetary policy/stability, not social policies - the government is the one not doing their job.
