"Why are blue states always so expensive?!". It's supply and demand. High demand to live someplace makes it expensive.

My million dollar house is worth as much as it is because of its located near high paying jobs, good school, and good neighbors. It's expensive to live where I live because lots of people want to live here.

Trump doesn't let people gain much power around him and neither Musk or Trump play well with others. Elon will be gone soon enough. I've got the popcorn for when the cat-fight starts. Should be fun.

"you spoke mean and hurt my feelings, that's why I voted for Hitler. It's your fault."

The snap was always the dumbest part of the entire avenger series. Let's say for example, you have a bunch of deer that are eating the forest bare, so you let hunters kill half of them... Then what happens next? You have the exact same problem in a few years. The snap solves nothing.

Also if you can snap your fingers and do this, why can't you snap your fingers and make twice the food supply?

The snap is just stupid, even in a world made-up physics-defying superheroes.

I'm confused, why?

I'm 50 and I don't think I'm an idiot. I don't think I was an idiot when I was 40. I don't think I was an idiot when I was 30. I don't think I was an idiot when I was 20. I don't think most people around me are idiots. Somehow we must have a different definition of "idiot".

If you don't mind sharing, I would love to hear your memories of that.

Drugs.

His massive rightward swing seemed to correspond with when his drug use was reported in the media.

I think his drug use makes him feel like he can't be wrong and reinforced his conspiracy laden mindset... And that pushes him into fact-free conservative-Central.

The ones that really get me are the way they show execs at companies. The "look, this character is so bad ass at being an exec!". They always come off as so unrealistic and cringy.

I've swam in that ocean, and that's not how that shit works. Engineering too. In reality, it's always a team of engineers that get something done... It is NEVER some rich smart guy inventing stuff on his or her own in their super fancy workshop.

  1. Vehicle needed lidar
  2. Vehicle should have a collision detection indicator for anomalous collisions and random mechanical problems

I'm confused though, what is the logic for redacting the statement? What is the legal justification?

I feel like you don't actually remember what web 1.0 was like. Or even bbs's. They... kind of sucked. I mean they were great for the time, but compared to the internet of today, pathetic.

 

I see CEO's as the last working person in the system. They are at least putting in the time and effort to make money. The are "the last working man/woman" in the chain up to the owners. The real travesty is the owners who get all the money without doing any actual work.

If the CEO makes less money, do you think you'd get more? The answer is no. A company will control costs and not pay employees more than they have to. Your salary has nothing to do with the CEOs salary and at least in theory you have a chance to become CEO... more of a chance than you have of becoming an owner.

The inherited wealth, the hedge funds, the owners... they get all the return. They get all the rewords. Even my boss, who started the company I work at, he makes his money by being an owner. His salary as a CEO is pennies vs his salary owning the company. The success of the company should be shared amongst the employees who made it happen, and the truth is they aren't. That's the real kick to the nuts, not the salary of the CEO.
