Ostracizing used to work because we needed community. Now they will just go on the Internet and find hundreds if not thousands pro approve what they’re doing.
And whatever the “village” did for a person can be bought with money. And people don’t really do free work for you anyway, maybe your immediate family but that’s about it. So people are more and more individualistic.
That’s why measure of GDP is stupid. It counts every transaction. If you do your own lawn, cooked your own food, then you don’t contribute to GDP. But if you hire someone else to do that, then you increase GDP.
Self sufficient communities are bad for the GDP. That’s how they define “developed” country, because you have to pay everyone for everything
Sure, but even accounting for all that, what do you think would be the votes? 55% and 45% instead of 49 & 51?
Even if it was 60/40, the fact that 40% of people are actively supporting all this means it’s too much.
Yes those problems are real, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore the big big problem of a significant part of population that wanted/wants this even now.
Please stop using that logic. The people that voted is a representative sample of the population, done. Is you’d forced every one of voting she to vote then it probably would have been similar result. Because people that didn’t want to go both will have their vote split randomly to candidates.
Honestly given these two choices, not voting means you’re ok with either.
I’ve never see it, who sets it? I only have two processes that are like it and blth wait for 1:30
Solar and batteries (chemical). If we could harness lightening then that’s come without mechanical energy as well. There’s biological energy as well, we don’t have a way to extract it directly as electricity but it exists
Mechanical and heat is just the most common way to get electricity for us at the moment.
Not only corporate not care, one time the bug was making it useless for my use case in linux, so I had to fix anyway. I sent an email with a patch, without even responding to the email to say anything, their next version had my patch. I sent it because it’d be useful to others, they could have at least acknowledged it.
I was searching it before I commented too lol
Except jump, they can’t jump even if they want
Yeah, I think it used to be like that, then because programming paid a lot everyone started wanting those jobs even if they didn’t like actual programming.
I don’t think I could move without a job. I’m only moving because I couldn’t find a job in my city and had to take this. The job market is really bad right now. This move is going to set me back in life by 5years except economically. I’d take something that’d pay 75% of this job is it was in my city.
This is what scares me about moving. How do we make friends as an adult while working full time.
But not in the degree it should have happened because there’s not much choice for people leaving.

This perfectly shows what’s wrong in this country (and many part of the world).
People not paying the dues still get the benefits. Personally they save money by not being a member, while benefitting from those that do. But if enough people think like that then the benefits vanish. Our society is just propped up by the majority (sometimes just a few) that understand that and do things for the collective good. But the portion of people doing that is decreasing as we become strangers with people around us.
Exactly the same thing happening everywhere. People are individualistic, they see benefits if they’re the only one doing something. But they don’t see how if everyone does what they did, everyone will end up in a far worse situation.
I wanted to explain this with an example to some people and they just blew it off saying it doesn’t make sense. The example is below:
If you had a button in front of you that gives you a million dollars if you press it (but only once in your life), but takes one dollar from everyone in the world. Now it might be very tempting to press that button. And if you do, you’re +1million dollars. Problem is, if everyone else also press their button, then you’re -8billion dollars. Even if 0.1 percent press that button you’re negative. But if we give this button to everyone, people will press it. And we reach a cycle where even the people that didn’t press it in the beginning will press it once they lose significant money because that’s the way way to at least recover something for themselves. So everyone loses.
I feel like this is how a lot of business models are working right now, they give you that button, and ask you $1000 for that button. You take it, you make a million. The world lost 8 billion into the void. You recover your 1000 and a lot more. And then someone else does it, you’re still positive. More and more people do it, the business is the only one making money. But as 1000s of people do it, you start to panic, then you get all the people that took advantage of it together, try to bribe the business so they stop selling the button to more people.
That’s called a job buddy. There’s no way I’d be using windows otherwise.
I’m old school so I only have a few epubs. I want to conserve my battery. Epubs will make it last a day, videos and audios will drain it. And of course using Internet drains it too.
I just download a few on my phone before I travel.
So once again the case of “I want good things but I don’t want good things to people I don’t like even more”. Leading into everyone being worse off. Classic US of A
Not if they have hots for a 14yr old
