Whatever a red car is still a car.

It’s dumb to say it isn’t a planet just because it hasn’t yet cleared its orbit. The decision to make it “not a planet” was also made by astronomers, not by planetary scientists. Like people with “Star” in their name know more about planets than people with “planet” in theirs.

Anyways it’s extra silly because if you have “real planets” and “dwarf planets” then what is the higher group containing those two? “Things that orbit the sun”? No, they should both be planets.

There are at least 9

Pluto is a dwarf planet. Planet. You wouldn’t say that a dwarf person isn’t a person.

Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.

For a better life, no baby

You guys don’t iron clothes?

I’m a millennial and I iron my clothes, how do you get the wrinkles out??? Teach me your secrets

I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

I don’t like it when underprivileged people get the short end of the stick. It sucks.

But trains are awesome, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to create the infrastructure we desperately need without some people being inconvenienced.

They’re fixed rates, maybe that’s a good idea!

lol how tight would it be if I could buy my own mortgages off of the bank for a discount

I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.

Sure but they get their money the same way the rich do, via capital gains.

What about retired people?

It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.

AirTags. My bike has one.

What’s wrong with potato salad?

Exactly.

If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

Based

Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon

No that’s why I clarified foreign spending instead of domestic

How about a wealth tax for people with over $10 million dollars of assets

How about tripling the size of the IRS (or more) so that the government actually gets what it’s supposed to

How about cutting foreign defense spending

How about increasing the corporate tax rate even just a little bit

Or only paying social security to people who need it

Or getting rid of insanely wasteful farm subsidies

But yes, I think we actually agree, that people who come here need to be paid a fair wage. That was really my point. When people talk about immigration to fix labor shortages, they almost always mean minimum wage or thereabouts (or even lower like for farm workers).

Yes exactly, thank you.
