Right, but it’s an arms RACE. Can’t have a race by crippling your best runner.

There is no way it doesn’t get propped up by the government at this rate. AI is the next big weapon in, well, everything digital. And they won’t want other countries having the biggest stick.

I mean, AI is getting genuinely terrifying.

Educational: if you have a phone, you have access to almost all of human knowledge, largely for free.

Physical: I’ve seen people without legs do things people with able bodies won’t or can’t do.

Finances: I’ve seen single mothers work three jobs to put food on the table while going to school for nursing at the same time

If you truly have the will, there is always a way. I’m not saying it’s easy, but you absolutely can.

No it isn’t. Go work a trade job like being an electrician. Start early enough and put it in a 401k and other such investments and you will retire a millionaire.

Which is less labor than the original task? What’s your point? I can get a lawnmower for a few hours of work and it would save me hundreds compared to whatever they used before.

You don’t want to replace your windows every month?

I mean, we could just make a second dead sea. Or do an advertising campaign to make sensory deprivation tanks popular.

Well yeah, I can’t imagine you can lick when you’re deep throating the boot.

Never even been ticketed before. I imagine you’re far more likely to end up in prison than I am.

Pretty good way to identify that you are someone who likes their butt stared at though.

Meanwhile, they see the massive rise in people rejecting who they are, to become parodies of the opposite gender, deforming themselves for life. They see the left pushing that as not only tolerated but to become normalized when it is by definition not normal. They see the left as dangerous corrupting influence to their children.

Trans was not a concept till very very recently, yet I personally know three close people in my lives who are trans.

To be clear, I am mostly left leaning. But I have seen multiple instances of someone on the left, going to the right because they see the left as harmful to their child and frankly, I get it.

Clearly doesn’t work.

shrug Eat a dick. This conversation has gone from something that could be worthwhile to basically talking to a wall. I’ve got better things to do than this. Like watch paint dry or watching my cat sleep.

Man, what kind of moron builds a 200k house on someone else’s 75k of land? Are you stupid or just argumentative? I don’t care how good of friends you are, I don’t want that kind of power disparity where they could casually wreck your whole life situation in any friendship.things change between people over time. If you don’t understand that, then you are probably still a child who doesn’t understand why people get divorced.

Right, because paying 15x as much for the land is the same as land transfer tax… Ignoring that this isn’t even my point. Not sure why your even arguing your point when I’m by no means rich. Are you arguing average people need to be forced to pay more for things?

Why didn’t he give me a cheap lease? Well because I’m not going to build a house on someone else land obviously. Seems like a stupid way to lose a lot of money

Creating reasons for someone wealthy not to share their wealth isn’t helping the problem. I have a friend who wanted to give me land for basically free, but that’s illegal. He has to charge me 15x more than he wanted to charge me or adopt me. Those are basically the only two options since their is a minimum land cost.

So, guy buys a 300 million dollar house, pays a million dollars a year in property tax, if he buys a second house for a friend for 60k, he now pays 2 million a year in property tax, basically making that 60k home cost a million dollars? And if he wants to buy a building for his business, that business basically costs him an extra million in property tax?
