Usually if it is common, both are true. The population is about 51% women and 49% men. For one man to have 4 wives that usually means 2 or more men have no wives. So, guess who gets the ladies. The ruling class. Not coincidentally, such areas are where you can often get suicide bombers. Especially if your religion promises the 40 virgins in the next life. The drive to have sex is generally the most powerful motivator there is.
Testing it is how I found out it didn’t work. Lol. Got findroid and it worked great on the plane.
Yeah, install findroid and downloaded some stuff. I will try it out on this trip. Thanks
Thanks. I didn’t expect it to be in downloads, but sure enough, there it was. Lol
No doubt. And plenty of other things. Since the government doesn’t actually have the best interests of it’s people in mind. Bring on the AI overlords, since AI doesn’t have emotional reasons to hurt us for it’s own gain, maybe it will be better. Lol
Somewhere along the line I read a scifi book where “truth in advertising” laws were used to convict advertisers so they could be put in jail and used as involuntary organ donors. And I am sad to say I wouldn’t feel very sorry if that were a real thing. My hate for manipulative ads is so strong it overrides my hate for killing.
I think anything that can’t exist without money from advertising either shouldn’t exist, or should be subsidized by taxes, not ads.
Number 2 is the only one that can write effectively on wood. I may not build a lot, but when I have tried to use a mechanical pencil for marking wood, it was a total fail.
Before it was a Jesus chip, people used to eat it as regular food. I think some people in the world still do. Though I think they use it more for dipping in things or something. It’s just a vehicle.
I agree we don’t owe them anything. And if being uncivil will make a difference, I am all for it. But if it won’t help, then let’s stay civil. In this specific case, if the floor of the house becomes a circus, people will start voting for clowns intentionally. Because it will become a required skill. I would rather it not. We already have too many clowns in there as is. And someday I hope it can go back a bit toward what it is supposed to be. A place for compromise. Though I do admit that I don’t have a lot of hope.
Well a big part of it all is that the interruption doesn’t really make a difference. It’s a show, likely done to get attention on himself. If it were to be something very effective, that would be another story. But it will start us down a path where the chamber will resemble a WWE production. The original point though was that if the constituency of the dems that voted yes, support that vote, then they did thier job in representing thier voters. So that’s okay. If every vote follows strict party lines our government will be even more of a pendulum than it currently is. Swinging wildly to which ever side currently has the power.
I know it feels like it. But you could be in North Korea. That’s pretty close to rock bottom with very little hope of ever improving.
I think an awful lot of people around the world would argue we are nowhere near the bottom.
I’ve read otherwise on the costs of services per person and density. A fire station can only reasonably cover a certain amount of space. So low density housing means you need more fire stations for the same amount of people. And of course you need more road per person in general.
There is a case to be made for not joining the race to the bottom. But likely these people constituents would be in favor of them voting this way. And in the end, that is who they are supposed to represent.
While I do think there should be some relief for some people as far as property taxes are concerned… living in a town or city gives a person access to many local government subsided services. Firefighters, and ambulances are some simple ones that everyone uses. Roads as well. And the cost of that does increase over time. Basing a person’s contributions to paying for that based on the value of thier property is just easier for local governments, and more stable. But it doesn’t really corelate with the use of those services. Nor with income or ability to pay.
Life necessities really shouldn’t be taxed at most levels. Food, shelter, water, heat, medical care. Most already aren’t. But housing still is. Investment properties should be taxed of course, but an average primary residence really shouldn’t be.
wrong buzzer noise They don’t have lots of “money”, they have lot’s of assets. In the US they can get loans at very favorable terms based on those assets. Which is how they avoid taxes. What the german rules for this are I don’t know, but probably not the same.
Probably stole the invention from a women though. Lol. But doesn’t matter who invented, only why they are worn.
Plot twist. He has a face like brad pit and was sick of it beingbthe first thing anyone says when they talk to him.
