Go fuck yourself.

Micropayments would scale at a ridiculous rate like microtransactions in games have, so your $20 example would be at least $200 in reality by now.

I get angry because of frustration about things beyond my control that impact me negatively and can’t simply be ignored. Knowing that extra step is great and all, but doesn’t reduce the frustration or the anger. I’m sure that identifying the difference is helpful to some people who can ignore or address the actual cause of their anger.

Note: I don’t get angry about frustrating things that I can do something about, or can be ignored.

Calm down.

They know, that is why they don’t want Putin to participate. Having him spout his unchallenged thoughts daily is what they want.

That is why the antiwar candidate was disqualified from running.

Up next, watching the shit fingers in the House fail to pass the legislation they asked for.

Ahhhh, I was.wondering why they would take the time to set up an API with that data and forgot that almost everything has a way to just dump things into it without needing to be set. I forget because where I work we actively avoid that approach because of risks like this.

Someone with a compromised immune system dying of a disease that has mild symptoms in the five other people who have ever been diagnosed with the disease is the opposite of terrifying.

Candyman and Bloody Mary only work if you believe :P

If they didn’t do it they get the same ‘not guilty’ verdict, so what is the recourse for someone who was falsely charged?

I am specifically thinking of the US where there are a lot of black men falsely convicted of violent crimes they did not commit because of racist eye witness testimony or even victims who blame a random black person to avoid social stigma and prosecutors who want higher conviction rates.

How about instead of a buffer zone we just make Russia stay within its own borders?

Not to mention that not everyone has fingers.

Yeah, it seemed cliche to me. Maybe it surprised some people because it wasn’t a thing in Disney movies?

It’s funny people talking about how things are done in the U.S. and giving different answers.

Yeah, different states have different requirements and processes.

In Kansas, when I got my original license in the 90s it cost like $60 total to get the first one and ever since it has been somewhere between 10-30 or so to renew every 6ish years or something. Originally you had to take a written test that you could fill in at home. Just ridiculously cheap and no real barriers. We also don’t have any kind of emissions requirements for non-commercial vehicles. The lax requirements for driving and emissions is probably the result of the farming lobby.

They aren’t going to make this easy cause it quite literally means giving the shareholders less profit, which is illegal in the US.

Making less profit than previous periods of time or even operating at a loss is not illegal in the US. Many companies have periods where they lose money or sacrifice short term profits for long term growth.

Investors with enough control might boot the leadership out, but they can also do that for whatever reason including unrealistic expectations.

Do you think I’m talking about inherent value to dogs and cats?

I’m going to assume you are trolling and kick myself for falling for it.

I don’t think you understand what inherent means.

If something does not always have value in every circumstance, the value is not inherent.

Pants have value in any climate.

Pants can have value, they do not have inherent value.

You’re looking for particular circumstances that mitigate or otherwise affect the inherent value of certain goods, though your scenarios depend on those goods having inherent value in the first place.

I am pointing out that there are exceptions to the assumption that there is inherent value to show that material goods do not have inherent value. That is the opposite of ‘depending on them having inherent value’.

Pants can be what keeps you from freezing to death and going to jail.

Can be, but pants do not have inherent value in the context of a tropical climate where freezing is not an issue and nudity is allowed. They have contextual value.

Food does not have inherent value, it scales with availability and demand. An excess of apples that will spoil before they can be processed into something that can be consumed do not have inherent value.

This is important because while money’s value is far more volatile, the argument that material goods have inherent value as a comparison is flawed.

NATO isn’t even fighting. NATO gave Ukraine their old boxing gloves and some advice.
