I agree, but I’m the spirit of the question, do you work in a corporate environment?

If it makes it any easier, those hundreds of millions of people are going to die anyway, the only tragedy about it is that it’s from something we could technically prevent or mitigate, but most things are like that… Traffic, smoking, guns, unhealthy diet… The climate changing isnt really going to affect the earth, our short sightedness and ignorance will just make lots of areas we can comfortable live in now much less comfortable or unlivable entirely. It’s going to suck, but do what you can with what you have and just the fact that you know enough to care means you have something to offer.

Maybe it helps to understand it when you think of it from the perspective that those $1000 expenses do happen, they’re not just hypothetical. But being able to cope with an event like that leaves you less able to handle a second one, and a third one

Couple that with the fact that I’m the US there is very little financial education so what might be an expected event for one person surprises another. Imagine living with a roommate and not realizing that to move into your own place involves coming up with first and last month rent, deposit, hook up fees, renters insurance, furniture, kitchen supplies, toiletries, etc… None of those should be unexpected, but also why would you expect them if you didn’t happen to run into them before?

Basically no amount of saving accounts for an expense that takes it all, and it’s then followed up by another one right after. And for some people those events are small and happen so quickly you never catch up and now you have late fees and interest and stress.

There’s no copyright involved in taking a picture of someone, or having a picture of someone… Your tourist pictures are fine. If you publicize then or try selling them, that might be an issue, but making it inconvenient for people to make money off of non-permission photos isn’t really concerning to most people.

Well ‘no benefits’ is a bit of a stretch.

it is such a pathetic song…remember that one time that guy did a thing and we just died laughing? remember that? That was cool…

Imagine the suspension of intellect it must take to admit that Russia is willing to pay you push the narrative you are already pushing, or are willing to push, and then considering yourself a victim for doing it.

You weren’t the target, you were the tool.

Second job overnights at a gas station… Pretty much any combination of right/left hand, upside down/mirrored, cursive/text, words forward/letters backwards, etc.

Is that supposed to be a smart ass answer?

Well, since you ask, it likely depends on whether they’re humorously encouraging you to look at something from a different angle, or if they’ve just discovered a handful of situations that get a chuckle from people who only encounter it occasionally, them proceed to subject everyone to the same ‘second-think’ ad nauseum.

Facts are tiny, but there are a lot of them. Theories are big but only useful the fewer of them there are. Grow oversimplifications, of course, but the more facts a theory can explain, the more successful the theory. Maybe that’s is how they should be framed, theories are never proven, they are only successful or disproven.

These are nice for when you need to tighten something random and you have no idea what size it might be. They do not excel at being a dedicated tool for a larger job. Definitely a matter of preference, but if you find yourself being the go-to person for assembly, a dedicated tool of the correct size is like night and day. If you find yourself just needing something convenient that can jump from bed frame to electronics project and fit in your pocket, these are the way to go. Personally I’d have a hard time imagining not having both options in different tool boxes.

I like the song and the movie…i wouldn’t say the movie did anything to ruin the song for me.

Well ‘the privilege of living in California’ is more accurate than it might seem. Everywhere is a tradeoff, and you could figure like 30% is ‘the privilege of living in the US’, and then everywhere else you might live is a tradeoff between taxes, higher/lower pay rate, higher/lower cost of living, more/fewer options for socialization, better/worse infrastructure, etc. Move out of the US and options increase drastically…from far higher taxes and the ‘privilege to live in a European country with lots of socialized services like health care and education’ to far lower taxes in some middle eastern countries but being extremely careful about how much skin you show, and maybe don’t mention your ‘ex’ marriage status, to everything in between.

You could move to a place with lower taxes and maybe be happier…or maybe way worse off depending on a thousand other factors. But the tax rate where you live is certainly one of the legitimate things to take into account.

Really weird way to phrase that if talking about a penis…unless you’re talking about a flaccid one which is even more weirdly specific.

A free printer might be awesome if it’s laser…a free ink jet printer is like saying you got stabbed ‘for free’. I mean, yeah, it was free.

Yeah, he was basically telling them to stop, or maybe more generally he was telling them to take a look at whether they really need to print things.

Brother printers were the last straw in throwing away they last inkjet I ever hope to own.

Want to scan something into your computer, you say? Sorry, can’t do that because you’re low on magenta!

No idea if their laser printers try the same crap, because I avoided that brand when it came to picking one out, but holy crap what an off-putting experience.

Groomer, groomer supporter…pretty fine line these days
