Exactly. The source and the setting make the difference, not the looks.

Some big wig isn’t going to raise a hand in a board meeting and ask to go to the bathroom. Why not? Because they’re an executive and this isn’t a school room.

I’ve not once ever heard or seen represented any person ask something like that… likely because its pretty easy to have the social skills to know better. So why are there so many loud men who want tk instead blame their looks when its just a refusal to abide by the same social skills?

Additionally, NASA is seeking to foster a commercial economy in low-Earth orbit. To that end, it is working with several private companies to develop commercial space stations that would be able to house NASA astronauts, as well as those from other countries and private citizens, by or before 2030. By setting an end date for the station’s lifetime and sticking with it, NASA can help those private companies raise money from investors.

Emphasis mine.

I propose we bring back the age old traditions of liberated piracy, just, in space. That is all.

Because most of these companies have some of the best lobbyists out there how else could they possibly get away with continuously taking money from our taxes and handing it over to them to build all these cell towers and infrastructure that they’ve only Built less than 5% of

Hey.

You know what?

The only use those types of thoughts have in anyone’s life, is to remind you of something you value completing.

Thats it. Once you’ve had the thought, let the next thought follow just be - Yup.

Maybe you do it, maybe not. But putting that pressure on yourself isn’t serving the purpose of doing that thing, in fact, it almost always does the opposite.

So yes, Ideally, we’d have no motivation other than feeling the need to do a thing simply because its what need to do.

But its not like that, for anyone. Stop being so expectant of yourself, and instead just expect that kind of thought to come up, and then wave at it, and let it pass on by.

No I’m saying yeah that is the thing that exists right now, and for some people that’s the only way that they can have / use a phone.

Between planned obsolescence and how careless and demanding in resources even phone apps are becoming now, cheap phones are as bad as really old phonesn

All I know is that maybe instead of putting a law like this in we’re going to just add the price somewhere else I say we just shut all these companies down and run this cell phone towers ourselves since all of our tax money has been going to these companies for them to build all these things that they don’t ever build or they build the bare minimum to get away with nobody taking the money back and it’s fucked up

Because how else are we going to have at least some models out there for people who can’t fucking afford these ridiculous phone prices without doing payment plans?

Just like health insurance that’s like tied into your mobile plan. We all thought we hated when we paid for minutes, and then for when we were paying for minutes and data, how naive were we.

The only thing the Sith did wrong was not hire a queer person for their uniforms / outfits.

Thats the equivalent of a “preemptive peacekeeping” mission. I’d have thought we’d see the UK be the first to something along these lines. 🙄

For those mornings when you can’t seem to get rid of all that lube, try the new Cactass!

I don’t pretend to know the full and total solution, but I do know what need to happen… but I know the historical flashpoints tsld to at has so often forced these issues? Th

Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between and outside of:

If you require/have a salary meaning you receive a paycheck you are not wealthy. The people who have100’s of millions, if not billions, do not receive a paycheck unless it’s for Pomp and Circumstance, and even at that amount who the fuck would bother.

There is no middle class, and there never has been.

Sometimes, actually kinda often, people come to you who know the costs of your materials pretty accurately. “I used to own a…” and “My industry uses that too, and it…” or any info regarding your costs.

Almost always those phrases are followed by some level of attempt to lower your prices.

Don’t, even at the start, even if its family. You don’t even have to explain it to them if you don’t like confrontation.

If they know it so well, they also know why your pricing is the way it is, and what they’d like you do is bend over.

Also, relatedly, inflation always sucks, and your pricing, if fair, reflecting that will be anticipated. Trying to remain at the same price when your costs really change isn’t good business. For something like filament, idk if wholesale prices fluctuate or just go up, so leaving some space if the former so you can avoid constantly updating your pricing is cool too. For a business I used to own, I just priced factoring my gas pricing a half a dollar more than the start of the year’s, and rarely had to adjust it within a year.

I love it when anyone in academia calls out the BS double standard peer review is. A favorite one being the horrible outbreak of a medical condition known as Cello Scrotum.

First hit always is…

Yes… the entity you are spending money with will not know your name (unless they need to due to transaction issues etc.)…but the transaction units entirety is recorded with your name and the business the money was sent to.
