True, but this was in kandahar, I expect not much as changed....Except perhaps the selection.

Used to be? As late as 2011 I saw entire businesses dedicated to selling pirated movies.

Oh, I don't know about that. I think Musk as a unique ability to spend money.

Guess those definitions changed since I last looked. Used to mean anything that's somewhat obsessive. "I have a fetish for collecting paperclips"

Hell, I'd say #3 of cult is what fetish used to mean.

Most people I meet seem reasonable until they get behind a keyboard... Or a wheel.

Thank you.

Making something obviously shameful is to do so with reason. Telling people they are stupid and being manipulated is not people reacting by digging in, they are just responding to personal attacks. That falls to self-defense. Rational discussions about your own beliefs give others a chance to accept them. Trying to force them is just... Well... Facisim.

A comet may be the only way left to make America great again ><

We are, and if you don't understand that... I mean, it's better to know our failings than to not know them... Or let ego refuse them.

I'd say that problem happened well before Ol' Zuck thought to steal the Facebook idea and run with it.

True, or you could enjoy the commute, in which case is a double win.

But yea, money is basically time debt owed to you by society, so if spending money to get time, it balances out. Kinda like how spending money on assets doesnt directly affect net worth.

That everything I buy can be measured as totalCost/wages*0.82=hoursCost.

I love measuring things in hours.

Let's assume I make 12/hr. Is 24 cans of soda really worth more (taxes) than an hour of work? 12 bucks might not sound too bad, but over an hours wages does.
