  There really should be some sort of industrial standard for journalism. Like a lawyer needs to pass the bar exam and be in good standing or be disbarred, a journalist should have to be licensed or recognized and if they are shown to be spreading falsehoods or doing other unethical things have their license revoked.

  I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.

  It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope she found herself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’m one. Tried weed multiple times in different types but never had any sort of experience let alone enjoyable one. Smoke a joint, just get sore lungs. Eat edibles? Bleh, just a gross tasting candy.

  Only time I felt anything was after a 50mg gummy, and that was just a bit of light headedness for a half hour.

  The problem I mostly have is even when those costs are recouped most companies fight tooth and nail to keep the prices high and unaffordable in order to line the pockets of investors.

  So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is that a problem? It gets rid of bias and would actually help minorities defeat bias in the court and get a more fair judgement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah honestly I don’t see a problem with this. If it’s his own words why does it matter if it’s AI speaking or himself? Even if it’s not his own words, he could just as easily say the same shit on camera, why does the person in the video needs to be him?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why DO credit card companies make a stink about adult content anyway?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

  Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate Reddit, and I hate discord.

  I am using discord for a discussion thread of one thing which follows a serial webnovel and it’s infuriating because when something new happens there’s always a constant influx of people asking the same questions because there is no way to pin or highlight pertinent information and no one is going to go scrolling through a million messages searching for the first time the question was asked and answered.

  Discussion threads! Not chat messages!

  I seriously don’t understand why we don’t have a mandatory class that covers taxes, T4 slips, investing, labour laws, budgeting, reading nutritional information on foods, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People need to stop thinking about property like it’s any other regular thing like a vehicle.

  Land is not a thing it is a limited resource.

  If someone owns a piece of land in a city it doesn’t matter what they are currently doing with it, even if they do nothing with it, that’s wasting potential that someone else could be doing with it and affects everyone around that piece of land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t make sense that cities need to increase property taxes every year though

  Property tax revenue should be increasing every year by default without changing the rate simply because houses and properties increase in value every year typically

  If property tax is 5% and the town makes $100,000,000, the next year if property value increases by 5% then their revenue goes up 5% as well to $105,000,000 automatically. Why do they need to also increase the tax to 6%?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It would only work if all the privateers get sent to one specific state like Texas and the two systems are kept completely separate.

  Let everyone move to Texas and pay no taxes, but every hospital visit or doctors visit is paid out of pocket or by insurance companies, no one has social security or welfare, every road is a toll road, you pay a private fire fighter company a monthly fee to be on their protective detail, police are private security firms you also need to pay a fee for protection or to investigate any thefts from your property, there’s no mayor or other elected representative for their town because where does the money come from to pay them, the army is also a private security company, the list goes on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus there’s no one saying you can’t reduce reliance on specific countries like China. It is indeed dangerous to rely on any one country for too much. But if you spread it out to many countries and make sure to have some domestic supply for the most important things it would be fine.

  At the moment Trump is targeting all countries, and many for no reason at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  China also doesn’t want to interrupt trade, it benefits them just as much as America, that’s how. They won’t invade Taiwan if there’s a threat of war disrupting trade.

  If you isolate the country from China too much then there is no benefit to China not invading. Globalization encourages peace because trade benefits all. Russia is suffering from all their sanctions now, they made a mistake thinking things would be over in a few days and people would get over it. Now they need to grit their teeth and pull through it. No one else wants to be Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there is any way to bring back those jobs. You guys are dreaming if you think you can just go back to an economy of the past.

  The world has globalized, America can’t just pretend it hasn’t. Sure you can try and bring everything in house but by alienating allies there are lots of things you just can’t get yourselves like many raw materials, and then you need to worry about exporting to actually bring money into your economy not just move it around in circles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, we are currently doing our hiring rounds for a few seasonal positions and have offered the job to a few people who have responded with they need some time to think or are waiting on a few other potential offers.

  That’s all fine and dandy but we tell them they need to respond with a yes or a no by the end of the week because we need to hire someone and if they no we will need to waste another week waiting for our second choice to shop around and eventually have no time left, they get a day to respond or we ask the next one.
