Nah, it’s the Internet, buddy. I can just say things and walk away 😂

You’ve got some really skewed viewpoints on basically everything mentioned.

I give 99% of my salary to my wife. She gives me 99% of her salary. We’re a family and we share all expense.

Stove top popcorn is too stupidly easy to buy a one off gadget. I make popcorn on the stove at least 3 times a week just using vegetable oil and flavacol. My wife and I are now spoiled on this popcorn.

Thanks OP, this sparked something in me.

I also have trouble falling asleep sometimes. Multiple times a week even. I usually read my fiction book before bed but sometimes that can get really exciting and keep me up even longer.

I found a bunch of “instructional” and “reference” material on project Gutenberg. I’ve been using these types of books lately when I can’t sleep and it’s been working great.

It’s only for the “Full Self driving” feature. It would likely just disable the feature.

You short Tesla stock? Have you ever timed it and made a profit on it? I know there’s been pockets that it could have been profitable to you. But seems to me that you’d just be feeding money to actual shareholders.

The line going up just means GDP per capita increased, not that the system was healthy. USA’s GDP continues to go up, would you consider our current economy healthy? Post 60s, Soviet growth slowed and was mostly driven by oil, not productivity. That hides a lot of inefficiency and fragility that GDP doesn’t show. When oil prices dropped and reforms started, the economy collapsed because it had very little resilience left, not because capitalism suddenly “killed” a thriving system.

To be clear - I’m not saying that shock therapy didn’t cause harm, I’m just saying that the USSR was clearly not booming by the time it was applied.

Blaming capitalism alone ignores that many socialist economies were already in long-term stagnation before the 1990s. Shock therapy often caused real harm, but it didn’t destroy thriving economies — it was applied to systems that were already failing.

The legality is in their head.

President has a D in his party, so it’s socially legal I guess

Couple things, and I’m aware of recent events.

Shot != Murder. People have survived being shot before.

People have also been shot while being robbed.

Idk man, doesn’t seem like good logic. You label him a robber because he says he’s a robber. At the end of the day, he’s a criminal so how can you assume he’s telling the truth? He’s already willing to break the law. So you can’t really infer he’s not a murderer. At least I can’t, maybe you can read minds or something.

Where do you get that logic?

What do you mean? I already don’t care about the state of the world.

Yeah, you have to go for the boutique condoms. Head down to your local condomer. Get measured and fitted for a personal touch

I’ve always got self preserved vegetables and fruits. I would likely make a quick roux and then turn it into vegetable soup. Throw some kind of pasta in there.

I’m all for it!
