No. My current bet is that Trump will sit his term and not get nominated for a 3rd term next election. Cause some fuss about it, maybe another Jan 6th event, but it stops at that.

If you wish to argue send me a picture of a reciept showing that you on some betting site put money on otherwise.

As soon as I get home: I do not sit down. If I do I’ll lose all motivation to get up. Go to the gym, do meal prep etc before I’m even close to my chair.

I don’t find much joy in destroying in the first place. But then I guess you destroy a tree to create a chair, and creating is fun.

It’s probably pointless and arbitrary.

I’ll just enjoy the time I’m given.

Analytics and robot defense have been mentioned.

They may also want to show you what’s at the bottom of the site earlier. Ad or click to next story or whatever.

Can also save bandwidth/load time. If they have a metric fuckton of garbage other than the text you were after on the site.

It’s not practical but it’s easy to target a few interesting individuals.

Also it’s inconvenient to encrypt and decrypt physical mail.

Well 60 hours work week is tough and having children to take care of is going to be even harder. You’ll manage a while but not forever.

Find another job that lets you get away with 40 hours would be my first suggestion. Moving somewhere where pay to living cost ratio is better would also be an option.

You will never change anyones mind, conservative or not, by arguing with them.

Why do we need an alternative? Is there a lot of otherwise reasonable adults getting into legal trouble because of some obscure laws?

The definition of capitalism is more or less private ownership, free markets and so forth, so norway very much qualify as capitalist.

I have a slightly more cynical view on automation, not that the rich get richer, but that the marginal cost of working an hour less is greater with higher automation, so people would rather work the same hours and afford even more cool stuff than work less hours.

Does any of the countries high on wealth and happiness rankings not qualify as capitalist?

If every place that tried communism ended up with killing a large percentage of their own population then it does not matter if it’s in the doctrine or not.

There is no doubt that nazis are bad. And my grandma had to flee the commies invading and bombing the crap out of her home. Now you say that commies are bad.

My main criticism is that this name calling just takes the level of the debate to a stupider level. It’s like the left is starting to bark just like Trump.

You say communists are bad.

If I enjoyed myself at work you’d charge admission instead of paying me.

Intelligent investor. For stocks.

I don’t remember the book on what bonds are and how they work. You should read about them too.

You should have a glance at derivatives, options and futures to understand what they are but investing in them is like playing hopscotch in a minefield.

Ray Dalio has a short YouTube video on how the macroeconomics work.

I learnt as a 5 year old typing stuff into DOS because I wanted to play games on it.

What do your kids want to do at the computer? That drive will make them motivated learners.

I’ll use it when it makes sense.

Once I searched for a solution to an obscure problem and the AI summary provided the solution that was not in the top 5 or so results.

Other times it’s just an incoherent rambling mess of auto generated stuff intended to make me click.

Being extra nice and considerate to everyone I meet is free.
