Countries are defined by land-hoarding class, because the nomadic people define themselves by their group instead of the land on which they live.

Without hoarders (landlords), we wouldn't need to put as much effort towards regulating land use, instead we could focus on regulating behaviours. Ex: "this land is a national park, you are not allowed to trash it. Go next door, there you are allowed to pour the trash from your industrial process into the ground, because it's your private land"

Yes!

This one said to me "You can't get away while I'm under the gas pedal." It was a (confirmed) stray barn cat. The most lovely and patient cat i ever knew.

Being older than 30, I can understand that a being older than 1000 would get confused about their age (especially if the time unit changed since they started counting!)

"We're not tasked with providing clean affordable drinking water. We can't be there. We're in business."

"We're not tasked with preventing food poisoning or affordable healthy food. We can't be there. We're in business."

What other examples can we make where "business" is an excuse for acting in a sociopathic way?

Notice that they never state she was an alcoholic. They also never atate she was a "high level" alcohol user. Just that she was an alcohol user.

You can make your own assumptions about her alcohol use, but in general these rules would also excluse a "normal" alcohol user with a congenital liver failure...

In Canada, drinking more than 3 drinks per week is medically considered "high alcohol use" for a woman... (6 for a man). This limit keeps getting lower year after year

If this can prevent you from getting organ transplants, then it encourages lying to your medical doctor about your current habits... That lady was not considered alcoholic, she just used alcohol in greater amount than the limit considered acceptable by doctors.

Latest stats show that almost 4 out of 5 people has exceeds that limit at some point in their life. This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use. (Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol. It's not about lacking donors.)

We should remove tariffs for European cars as well. Why can't I buy a small 4wd in Canada, when they have them all over?

Although I never took the time to check myself, I heard multiple reports about how streaming music has crappy dynamic range, and that the same song on CD or ripped vinyl always has much better range.

It would be my main reason to use the scenes...

"🙂".reverse() == "🙃"

 

Now that it seems decided that the word "weird" should be used in a derogatory way against sociopathic narcissists in politics, I have to be careful about how i use this word.

In the recent years, I usually used it to describe someone or something that was different in an interesting and charming way. I am neurodivergent in a way that is easily hidden (not that I make coucious efforts to hide it), I would often describe myself as just "slightly weird". I no longer want to use this word to describe myself anymore because of the above mentioned reasons.

In old literature, I've seen the word queer used as such, but today it doesn't really carry that meaning anymore. Although I wouldn't really mind if it confused people about my gender, I don't really worry about that. 😁

Any other suggestions ro help describe myself that wouldn't put the focus of the discussion on neurotypes?
