While low risk, I think index investing still counts as gambling. The house maybe too.

Depreciating investments like a car should be ok though.

Race car drivers definitely don’t put both feet on the gas pedal though… Like, what?

Also…astronauts…

You have just proven you have never been anywhere actually cold, at least not with adequate clothing. What temperature do you suppose people just magically start freezing to death regardless of their clothing?

That’s because your winter is many people’s summer temps.

They didn’t do a proper legalization like Canada though. Just half-assed it.

I feel the logical conclusion is to just destroy all human created content entirely to avoid being exploited by corporations. But that may not be a reasonable solution.

It would be like an artist refusing to record or perform their music for fear of someone else making money from it or copying the style.

Yep. And I’d argue it’s an almost ethical responsibility for those aware of all this to preserve a media archive via piracy. Sort of like those monks that would repeatedly copy old scrolls before they would degrade or whatever.

K so…don’t hire them?

Oh well that’s reasonable then /s

Who gets to be the parents in this situation?

Completely agree and I was referring only to this specific instance.

I agree with all points, but isn’t the officer who stopped it from continuing the ‘good guy with a gun’ here?

It’s almost like it’s possible to have good guys with guns without letting every single person get guns by default.

What makes you think it was flagged for a large tip specifically, rather than just an unusually high transaction?

It still confused me how they would know it was a $20 steak and $80 tip versus 5x $20 steaks and no tip. It would appear the same, a $100 transaction at Bob’s Steakhouse.

Wouldn’t they just see the total?

Eventually people will say that about the current options lol.

There should be no default percent options at all. None.

‘complete transaction’ or ‘add optional tip’.

Only below 3ish grams or above 1000 grams though.

Until the idiots all complained about it being ‘creepy’. Ever since the tracking completely continued, but no longer with any benefit to us.

Great job idiots. Why people just don’t opt not to use features they find ‘creepy’ I’ll never understand. They are only satisfied if they bring it down for everyone.

Dealerships are literally the worst place to take a vehicle for a repair. They are in the car selling business, not the car fixing business.

I struggle to see Japan as a bastion of freedom lol. Fun place to visit for sure, but between the archaic drug laws and suicide forests I’m not sure they are a society others should be modeling themselves after.
