Hands down, it’s first by a mile. It’s in a field of it’s own. I also doubt I’ll ever watch something as good again. Though I will say, the first season is the worst of all the seasons, and one might not understand what they are missing if they stop there.

Iirc somewhat like the fish

Both of the ones from my state are from moderate conservative districts. Completely unsurprising that they won’t stick their necks out for something entirely symbolic. Though I don’t get why they can’t just abstain from a silly vote.

Anyone using any technology can miss something and end up in the same spot. I think the real takeaway is that there is way too much consolidation of our technology.

I don’t follow this either, but devils advocate, a review would find no wrongdoing without evidence beyond someones word. But just because something isn’t provable, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. At my workplace there is a tenured professor that has been harassing people into quitting for 30 years, and they still don’t have “evidence” beyond someones word, not enough to get around tenure. If they were forced to give a statement they would likely say no wrongdoing.

If you’re talking world wide you could give everyone on earth that is currently in poverty about $1200. That’s enough to help a great deal in poor countries, but it would be very temporary. If you’re talking just the USA, you’d be giving everyone in poverty $30k. That would certainly keep people out of poverty for a while. But under capitalism where people have to work many would be back in poverty in a year. Cash infusion would only work if it was permanent like a UBI.

Even if you spent that money to build free housing all over the country, it wouldn’t be enough to end poverty, though that would probably be the best use of the money. Just flood the market with housing availability and living gets way cheaper.

Mentally going through all the couples I know and half of them involve overweight men. Absurd to live in North America and think you can’t date if overweight, 1/3 of our continent is overweight and the majority of that is men. Over 2/3 of Canadians are in common law relationships or married at the age of 35-44. To be this deluded you have to believe basically 100% of single people are overweight, which is not true. But seeing what you type I’m guessing weight has nothing to do with it, people don’t like people with defeatist, lazy, downer personalities way more than they dislike overweight people.

App dating isn’t the only way forward, you actually have to have a life and put yourself out there. All my relationships were when I wasn’t really looking but still kept my circle of friends wide, and I’m not an extrovert.

At no point in this conversation were they inconsiderate, you on the other hand… Your self righteousness is making you completely blind to self reflection. Take a moment and reread this thread putting aside your moral certitude and it’s clear who’s tone was inconsiderate.

Makes perfect sense. I do get some light exercise on the e-bikes. If you’re familiar with zone minutes, I get between 15-75 each 18 mile round trip, depending on how hard I peddle. It’s usually enough to cover my exercise for the week. I can always peddle harder on the way home when I’m not worried about being sweaty.

Revolution doesn’t have to be violent. We do need a revolution, but I agree that violent revolution leaves a power vacuum any shithead can fill. We desperately need a grass roots, community based, cultural revolution though. One that firmly opposes are current consumerist culture.

This as a pretty awesome list, I’m gonna save it.

One thing you could add is e-bikes, depending on how good the bike infrastructure is where you live. We were able to completely eliminate a second car because I can bike much further to work without getting sweaty. 9 miles each way. Also bike to some other local things like farmers market. Unfortunately my dad got old and we got a hybrid for free since he can no longer drive, to help him with appointments. But it was working in concept until that point.

I watch twitch, this dude is gross. I’ll watch some pretty degenerate twitch streamers, but this guy seems like a grade a nazi.

India is often dishonest with their data. Many politicians will lie to save face. But even if the numbers are “real”, it’s worth asking yourself what they are considering a home. Plenty of people live in scrap houses on land they don’t own, are they “homeowners” in this data. India has squatters rights, if they can’t be removed from someone else’s property they’ve lived in for decades are they “homeowners” in this data? If someone’s has a live in servant who has a separated house on their property, are they “homeowners”? My guess is that india is defining homeowners very loosely.
