What? Criminals can be voted into the office, but cannot vote?

Yes... But still... Especially when running... I find these things completely ridiculous.

I have used a dedicated MP3 player during the workout just few years back - I found carrying my entire almost 200g phone during the workout extremely inconvenient. In the end, I ended that for the benefit of bluetooth headphones which were not supported by the dedicated player.

Is it really a big issue or are you just internalizing the language of the oppressing class, putting common people against each other?

The current older generation has lived longer than any other in history, and they’ve clung to control for as long as possible.

And now you're adding ageism to the mix. It is not old people who are the problem! Keep your eyes fixed on the real enemies and don't target your exploited fellows.

In both cases, it is the instance of conflict of interest and a moral hazard. Tainted and not to be trusted.

Just going outside, to the nature preferably. Not to the mountains though, that's too serious and snobbish.

This is not hot air though, so the cited source does not apply.

Edit: but it does link to more relevant study towards the end, comparing different means of hand drying.

Hygiene associated with the product has been questioned in research by the University of Westminster Trade Group, London and sponsored by the paper towel industry the European Tissue Symposium

I'm not sure we would outweigh them - you know the statistics, almost half the wealth (potential kill orders) is held by top 1.1%.

Edit 2: Look up Jim Bell. He wrote a very popular essay in the 90s.

This is one of the things that scares me about most about completely anonymous currencies and networks: untraceable kill orders and, to a lesser extent, unlimited bribery (that already exists in US). Because you know, it opens the most possibilities to people with money. Like billionaires.

But it didn't work, ended up just with bruises.
