You think someone just got confused between the ugly guy, the tower and the top position and that is how we ended up in this mess?

It goes so far that a lot of the very same people vilifying open relationships are the ones cheating on their partners.

On the other hand that is also one of those things that annoys me about romance culture, the whole notion of your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband being “stolen” by someone else as if your partner was just a passive object instead of being the actual person in the cheating who made promises to you (which might or might not include sexual exclusivity depending on mutually agreed upon preferences between everyone in the relationship) and should keep those promises or break up with you no matter what any third person tempts them with.

Yeah, I wonder how LAPD can be unable to handle ten groups of 1000 people in a metropolitan area of almost 20 million people, I would assume ten groups of 1000 people is more like a quiet weekend.

Something tells me that is not what you meant to write here.

Funnily enough we managed to make companies so much worse that the family owned medium sized (think a few hundred employees) companies run by the younger generation of the family often look better than the average company run by a CEO hired specifically for that role from a large pool of potential candidates. Most likely because they actually have some long-term thinking left.

Sometimes what you are led to believe is also more closely related to some sales or marketing person’s life goals than your own.

I would assume the ideal design for distance would be shaped somewhat like a glider.

Well, technically your eyes (and the wavelengths they can perceive) are part of the system of light source, box and your eyes that make it blue. If the light source emitted a different spectrum of light the box would reflect other wave lengths, if the box was different it would and if our eyes perceived a different spectrum of light it would also likely be split up into named parts differently.

Technically it is an emergent property of the system composed of the light source, the box and our eyes.

Pretty sure people have used more descriptive answers since the dawn of language too whenever sound wasn’t a reliable direction indicator.

This post seems to be tagged with the wrong language since that does not look like English but is tagged as English.

Delusional beings claiming their imaginary friends are going to be on their side…does that mean AI has found religion?

Meanwhile here in a not even particularly walkable city in Germany a trip to the supermarket on foot is less than 15 minutes for a round-trip (not counting time spent inside the supermarket since that varies a lot of course).

Then you are probably not worried about the question whether your society is in trouble or not, you know it.

I wasn’t disagreeing with the article, more agreeing that the issue it brings up and advocates to avoid is indeed a big problem.

It is not that difficult to understand. Selling a service that costs money each month to run for a one time price is not sustainable.

Unfortunately the bickering over who has it worse often seems to undermine efforts to improve life for everyone at the oppressed end of the spectrum while the oppressor end of the spectrum gets away with more exploitation and gets ever richer and more powerful.

America (or any other country) was never great in the past, they just claim that because it is easier to sell “going back” to a time in the past people remember fondly than to change things to something completely new (like entirely new forms of exploitation by the rich). And for some reason people are too stupid to understand that doing the same things as in the past despite drastically different circumstances wouldn’t even yield the same outcomes.
