Y'all are missing something imo. Landlords are artificial demand - they drive up the housing prices for everyone, including home owners.

The argument that it costs to maintain a home blah blah is BS - if it wasn't profitable then the landlords sell it. They're not being charitable. They make a profit and it comes out of poor people's wages.

A computer is many orders of magnitude more intricate, technologically advanced, etc. A modern computer chip requires incredibly complex 3D labyrinths of different materials that have walls that are nanometers thick.

I can't decide if this pun is intentional or not 😂😂😂

The dairy industry is significantly more damaging to NZ's ecology than some feral cats. I'm not saying it shouldn't be addressed, but there are measures already in place. It's important to keep perspective and not be distracted by media.

I find corspes yuck because it feels the same as cannibalism to me. I have no issues with touching human hair or fingernails, but I wouldn't eat your arm, spleen or eye. Does this help?

It does, it's in the specs at the bottom of the steam page

That's... literally the point? We want socialism, which means we want to help pay your bills and support you to reach your goals. That's what we want for everyone.

You'd think so, but unfortunately not. Venture captial is completely illogical, designed around boom or bust "moonshot" ideas that are supposed to completely change everything. So this money isn't driven by actual consumption, rather speculation. I can't really speak to other forms of investment but I suspect it doesn't get a whole lot better. The economy has become far too financialised with a fiat currency that is completely separate from actual intrinsic value. That's why a watch can cost more than a family home, which isn't true consumption - just this weird concept of "wealth"

What a bizzare thing to say. Plenty of women have hairy asses. And no, men wouldn't teach this is they were the majority of teachers for the same reason women don't - it's not socially acceptable. The parents of the children would riot. Sex education is only taught because of how important it is, and it still makes a lot of parents uncomfortable.
