A pack of ramen is like 29 cents where I’m from…a single fucking potato is $1 no shit so, maybe area specific?

What doesn’t? Is healthy food cheaper or does it not suck?

Thanks kindly cowpoke but that’s just Eddie Murphy

You’re right about that, I’m more weirded out by the salaries of the CEOs compared to the other employees. According to google the CEO of American family has a salary of around a million a year so… someone is profiting from it.

The term non-profit just (to me) almost loses meaning when it makes people filthy rich but you’re right, they are the lesser evil for the time being.

Why are you talking about me

be the problem you want to solve

Melson Gibson

Yes

I am not a nuclear physicist but have also been practicing that concept. Show me an ad that I don’t want to see? I Boycott.

Hmm… part of me is not convinced that those companies aren’t benefitting in some way… I mean, the employees do have to be paid don’t they? What about the CEO? Is it just a passion project for them?

I get that web searches make finding knowledge easy but it kind of disturbs me that we shame people for not doing so and basically tell them “just Google it and shut up!”

Are we supposed to just never communicate with other humans aside from chit chat and personal opinions?

Never speaking to others about any info that we could glean from Google seems… weird, doesn’t it?

Who initially began the campaign of “just Google it” anyway? It sounds like an ad campaign for google

I’m confused, are you saying there’s only one solar system because we’ve only really named our planetary system the “solar system” ?

Not to be rude but that seems pedantic because there’s more than one definition and according to Merriam Webster

solar system noun: the sun together with the group of celestial bodies that are held by its attraction and revolve around it also : a similar system centered on another star

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the same site, over here https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/other-solar-systems/en/ says:

Our solar system is just one specific planetary system—a star with planets orbiting around it. Our planetary system is the only one officially called “solar system,” but astronomers have discovered more than 3,200 other stars with planets orbiting them in our galaxy.

Genuinely curious to learn as I do not know a lot about this stuff and feel like I am missing something?

When somebody who’s smart believes something that seems dumb to you, doesn’t that suggest that you might be wrong and/or misunderstand what they said?

With you on that but also feel that in general judging others doesn’t ring as being very smart to me. I was bullied a lot growing up, judged etc. And that taught me how people’s judgemental remarks can affect others which helped me avoid that train of thought myself.

I eventually became judgemental myself, for a while and realized that I was a very… angry and sad person.

I think the biggest game-changer for me was being taught gratitude. I went from hyperfocusing on everything wrong about my life, and others to training myself to instead search for what’s nice about life, and others.

So personally? Being judgemental toward another human being doesn’t seem like a smart thing to do as it will just bring down others AND myself

But also… none of us handpicked to be born in our particular bodies. None of us hand-picked and chose the circumstances we would grow up in in life, nor the variables that would change us and mold us, genetics and so many factors form a person. So judging a person that just happened to grow in a different body and think differently than myself? What good does that do? If I was born in their body instead of mine then I would think exactly the same way that they do so I am absolutely no better, none of us are. Sure people do bad things and have annoying traits but at the end of the day being mad at them and judging them does nothing because we would be exactly the same in their shoes. Want to be angry at something or judge someone I guess place that judgment at fate, the cosmos, the universe, just in general things that are out of our control and we do not understand. But people in general aren’t really good or bad we are just a product of trillions of factors that we had absolutely no say in nor control of. It’s not like people can just… exit human existence for a bit become enlightened and then enter our bodies again now thinking exactly the way others think they should… they just got what they got, and our that way because this life made them that way really.

Oh wow, so during a strike the union pays employees? Never realized this happened but it makes so much sense now, so the employees can strike without having to worry about going broke. Would be cool if that funding were extended so that if an employer decides to give strikers the middle finger, those people can ride that funding until another job is found. Reducing the hold companies have on employees.

Downloaded it, checked disable ads and it asks for a configuration Id? Assuming I make one on their site but can’t figure how I would connect this app to the site

I do the “wrong song” as well! Been a habit of mine for decades. Some songs from say the 90’s, I don’t even know the actual lyrics for anymore, just what I made up
