Well, maybe we need to decide as a society what exactly enough means. I'd argue that anything above 100m is excessive, especially while other people are literally starving. But sure, let's say anything up until the first billion

Talk about frustration reading these comments. People knee-deep in Kool-aid, thinking this is the only and god-given way things should be.

Making crazy changes like squeezing out every last dollar out of your existing, loyal customers (looking at any PE firm ever) certainly affects the wind I'd wager.

No? By that logic you sell a dollar for 103c and that's not enough to quench your greed. Obviously both statements are gross oversimplifications. But I could not help myself and let that slide just like that.

tbf the east-west split never really stopped haunting Germany. its not like it came suddenly. there are a lot of systemic errors that lead to this.

Yeah, I don't agree with a single point. I know we're all in our bubbles, but none of what OP listed seems left-wing to me. I know I've never thought these things to be true. If anything, the left-wing promotes men to be vuln

I knew what he meant and still thought it spawned an interesting discussion. Mainly because I've never quite intuitively understood that saying. So, I did not take it as OP being tedious about it at all.

What do you mean? What kind of limiting of your freedom are you afraid of regarding steps that should be taken to avoid this? I fear we need some government imposed limitations. Hoping that every individual will do the right thing doesn&#x2

isn't Gen Z the first generation that's scoring worse on all kinds of tests than their parents did? seems like this time it may actually be different. and peer reviewed.

Yeah. "put some HTML on a server" may as well say "split a few atoms" for people who have never done so. No one is saying that it's impossible to learn all that stuff. But it takes time, has a fairly high entry barr

tbh if I start worrying about poop particles in my day to day, I fear I'm one step closer to becoming a germaphobe. plus I feel if that's something that truly worries you, you'd start taking showers after each poop because cl

of course it is. this seems so obvious to me. I even wrote into chatGPTs "memory" to NOT ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS, because it's crazy annoying imo. it respects it about 40% of the time I'd say

Please no. I can never remember which Cali area we're on. I almost always know which year it is. This has been long overdue. Should have learned their lesson from OS X and gone that way after iOS 10 the latest.

I genuinely do not understand how anybody could listen to Trump saying something about a topic he clearly does not know about (of which there are a couple -- let's face it) and describe it as "selling". I'm not at all at
