I feel like this sort of logical acrobatics is exactly the cause that got you guys there. In other countries we’d call spade a spade and get on with it.

Americans will literally do anything else but accept responsibility.

if Americans truly wanted change that badly they would have voted 3rd party and amend their stupid political system. Voting for Trump is not wanting change — it’s wanting to justify your own terrible person.

“people want change” is such a cop out. If you actually listen to these people then it’s pretty clear they’re just fucking stupid.

People need therapy and education.

US is system is so bad. The constant pandering to “founding fathers” as if it’s even possible to have strong enough vision that it would last 200+ years and refusal to innovate past the ridiculous two party system is just sad tbh.

Yet nothing will change because you can’t change these things without a revolution apparently.

I understand and wishing you strength with this 🙏

You can basically live indefinitely in the SEA with US passport (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). Find a in a nice liberal bubble with loads of other foreigners as long as you can make 2,000 usd/mo you’ll be quite comfy and free here.

I’ve long given up on being part of the core society and embraced the life in a bubble. It’s pretty awesome! Feel free to message me if you have any questions :)

The point is that there is no “better ones”. The billionaire should not be socially acceptable concept ever. Full stop.

Why is “death for billionaires” so taboo though? Clearly they’re damaging our society much more than a single murderer or marijuana carrier and yet we have no problem accepting that these people should be punished socially but if you mention guillotines for billionaires then suddenly you’re an extremist.

Try mentioning this to Tailor Swift fans and you’ll get immediately crucified. We should normalize the idea that THERE ARE NO ETHICAL BILLIONAIRES. Period.

It’s a staggering amount of wealth that allows to do shit like this and why do we tolerate this is will be eternally confusing to me.

Not only is this an issue of equality but it’s a social issue as well. People stop taking public responsibility issues like pollution or climate change seriously because “if private jets are legal then why should I do anything?”.

Lots of non-answers but to clarify - yes but no comments.

Sometimes a login wall might block you but if you refresh a couple of times it should work.

Good, last time I was in Osaka the urban cyclists were plenty dangerous even without texting. Japan doesn’t have a great cycling infrastructure and definitely needs more safety rules because of it.

Imagine going into an economical agreement with Russia lmao

ain’t nobody got time for extra u’s

My home garden. I’m by no means a great gardener but I’m a software developer working from home and just popping in there to spend 30 minutes caring for the plants is really refreshing.

The answer is always speculation investment. People are on average richer and real estate is the only trully limited economic resource as we have limited land especially in desired locations.

Seriously lookup how much of real estate is uninhabitable.

People are richer, the tech is better and everything we know about economy would indicate that real estate should be more accessible but that’s not the case because the market is manipulated.

The best part? If you invest in a stock index you’ll almost always out do real estate ownership almost anywhere in developed world. So people are hustling this stupid game while they could just sit back and watch money do money things.

I think Americans need to address the flaws in their 2 party political system and start working on a change, but it’ll never happen because neither party would give up power like that.

Two party system is inherently divisive especially with so much foreign and domestic propaganda. More options would not only reduce the total surface area of conflicts, but it would make propaganda much harder and represent people more closely.

I almost bought a Chinese EV but decided to hold back and not support China because of their support for Russia. Got a 2nd hand ICE Mazda for now which I hope will last me until there’s some non Chinese EV competion in my region or China finally grows some balls and starts doing the right thing.

it’s selling well too though it’s actually 78$. They put Mailbox and Auction House on it which AFAIK the only mount that has both which is incredibly valuable.

If not the fuction I wouldn’t mind but because the function is so valuable it’s really poor form by Blizzard. I even love the mount and buy it as cosmetic but I’m not supporting this at the state it is currently.

Seriously starting to question mods here for removing comments. Terrorists don’t need your protection.

what took them so long tho
