Right now? Extended time off work without responsibility.

Front right is keys and wallet. Front left is phone and a Leatherman.

Nothing in the back because of issues putting things there.

By the power of Grayskull…

Super green!

Hard.

I feel like you are going to hit a wall regarding streaming rights costs. Also, based on overhead costs and scaling, it will probably encourage fewer music streamers instead of more.

With Uber, they started with ride sharing and slowly nudged its way towards being a car-for-hire business. The reason it worked was because no one really liked taxis and didn’t want to defend that monopoly.

Today, cities are trying to regulate places like Airbnb to reduce their presence in major cities, but the only real hate towards Uber and Lyft has more to deal with employee pay.

The only alternative to an elected legislature (parliaments are different from congresses) is either direct democracy or one party rule.

The best analysis I have to Dave Ramsey’s advice to debt is like talking to an alcoholic about alcohol. If you have known issues dealing with debt, especially credit card debt, his advice will probably prevent some serious harm. However, for someone starting to deal with finances, it may not be the best advice.

There is much less of a familial obligation for help between adult children and their parents than in other countries. There is something of an expectation, but it is either tied to economic duress or disability.

For instance, it is common for adult children to pay rent to their parents if they continue to live at home. Sometimes parents will give that money back to their kids when they move out, but it isn’t common practice

On the flip side, while Social Security and Medicare are meager compared to other countries, it is common for that to be enough justification that parents don’t need full financial support until they are in a home. Even then, it is expected that the parents use up their savings before relying financially on their kids. That kids send money to their parents just because is not typical here.

So you keep the computer engine running.

At a certain distance, the concert is less the event and more a reason to plan a vacation around going to the concert.

Men’s formal wear is already dying. Outside of some sales roles, no one wears a suit any more.

It wasn’t most people, but there were a lot.

I feel like you also have people who’ve read it enough to understand that a rewriting of the Constitution would lead to them losing power. The deification of the Founding Fathers makes the Constitution a sacred document and you don’t change sacred documents.

Which is funny because the Founding Fathers understood that the Constitution shouldn’t be a sacred document. While this is the only base law the USA has had in two centuries, this was the third base law for the overall country they lived in within their lifetimes.

It is important that Reddit had one unified group to fight against spam combined with several volunteers on the same platform. The Fediverse doesn’t have that, it is just too small to spam to a large degree.

There will be several fediverses. The ability to maintain one unified fediverse won’t hold.

The Heritage Foundation released one that includes several former Trump staff and the current VP nominee; it is Project 2025. You aren’t going to get anything more precise out of Trump or his campaign.

Harris released her full platform and it is ok. I’m sure people want her to do more, but I don’t know if she has the votes for it.

I don’t think you are going to get a full policy update because the policies in Project 2025 are so bad and the Trump campaign doesn’t want to run on it. That’s why Trump is running on the idea he will stop immigrants from eating your pets.

The China map is interesting as it changes the power plant drawing order.

Not quite. Cheap money is more that a loan doesn’t cost that much money to pay back. It isn’t the treasury loaning out the money, but individual banks judging based on inflation.
