You pay over your lifetime what a US citizen might pay in a particularly bad year. Including all tax burden.

To be fair Americans don’t really know history, being the most propagandized people on the planet.

It’s usually 5-10 years depending on country, though almost all countries allow you to file for an early judicial declaration of death to potentially speed things up.

Though even then don’t really count on life insurance, which almost always has separate clauses for the type of death which would be impossible to prove if there’s no body. Extremely few insurance types pay out for missing people, since it’s a legal and PR nightmare for the company if that person shows up again.

Liberals keep the machine fed, and when threatened always hand the keys over to fascists. Every single fascist dictatorship in world history was created by liberals. It’s actually incredible the track record liberals have.

Liberalism should have been dead the second they gave Hitler power in order to fight the communists (aka actual working class people that found solidarity).

I’d rather live in a poorly maintained commie block with intentional 15 minute city design than step foot in literally any single family home.

Sure thing, my undereducated comrade.

Fungi (or protofungi) were likely the first large multi-cellular life on land, predating plants by at least a half billion years and creating the soil conditions necessary for plants to make the jump from the ocean. In fact plant life without fungal symbiosis on land likely would have been impossible.

As to the second part, while it’s controversial in some circles that lean heavily toward divine creation or intervention, the Stoned Ape Theory is nonetheless pretty well supported. As for my exact wording; I’m also including dolphins, which do recreational drugs anyway, and suggesting outside popular theories there’s a sea fungus they’ve keyed in on in the past, as well as octopi who like to get high, even crows like a little chemical help now and again. While we don’t have direct evidence of non-ape species being particularly into eating fungus for its mind altering effects, the fact that pretty much every ‘intelligent’ species seems to enjoy recreational mind-altering drugs does point to a common origin for intelligence itself.

Fun fact, it’s very likely that without mushrooms land animals wouldn’t exist. More controversially it’s possible that without mushrooms no creatures with higher order thinking like human variants could exist.

Whichever his CIA handlers told him is best for the interests of the owners of the US.

I never thought I’d meet a homophobe defender brave enough to venture outside their own little pocket fascist instance of lemmy.

Here are some facts:

1. That link does not ‘debunk’ the fact that Brave was funded, in part, by Peter Thiel. It just downplays it.

2. Brave’s funding was a crypto scam, and selling the idea of ‘selling out to advertisers’ to investors.

3. They are so incredibly ‘committed to privacy’ that they keep selling user data and illegally redirecting users.

No, to answer your whataboutism, I’m not fine with the Mozilla board having Google members among others on it. I really hate that they are spending most of their money on not web browser development, and have spent most of their money in the last two years that was ear marked for browser development on AI features the majority of users turn off. But that’s still better than supporting Brenden Eich.

Why the fuck would they need to fund development when they’re funded by the antichrist himself?

These would be useless for AI given the high write requirements inherent to any form of ‘AI’ in use today; but data centers would absolute eat these up for low-write CDN usage, i.e. netflix which only updates their catalogue once every few days but needs high read speeds for multiple users. So we’d still be competing with data centers for them, but luckily just much fewer.

It would make (assuming it can fit in a standard 3.5" bay) petabyte+ home data servers pretty trivial to set up though which is pretty neat. 4k Jellyfin data hoarders should rejoice.

Every culture interprets modesty differently. Many muslim cultures don’t have hijabs but have other hair coverings similar to the ones Christians and Jewish women are required to wear.

The middle class doesn’t really exist in any meaningful way in the latest capitalist era. It originally meant the link between peasantry and Nobles in the late feudal period when the more aptly named Merchant class starting rising. This distinction was important at the time because unlike peasants the merchant class could generally own land and lived in relative luxury, but unlike nobles they couldn’t exercise any legal or military authority directly.

The “modern” term started with a random fuckass UK statistician that had that same mindset, but called nobles and the incredibly wealthy “upper class” where as pretty much all business owners and managers were middle class because they controlled large amounts of ‘human capital’ just without any real legal or military authority.

But really it’s all bourgeoisie, Either you work or you don’t. You produce or aid in the production of something, or you’re a ‘manager’ or ‘owner.’ There is no effective middle class in modern societies, because even if you do own a small business, the gap between you and the lowest paid worker in your society is minuscule compared to the gap between you and the real bourgeoisie; so you’re either bourgeoisie or a class traitor if you consider yourself middle class.

That all is to justify: We should be focusing on eliminating the “middle class,” by total expansion of the working class to the standards of said middle class. The government should be empowering the poorest members of its society, its foundation, instead of worrying about a mythical and nonexistent middle class or showering the top with infinite money.

If this were 'murica, just 2 two bedoom apartments. But it’d have to be uniformly distributed.
