Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)

It is with that attitude

Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.

If only we had some sort of public entity that could fund housing investments with little to no financial gain, but great gains to public support and well-being that was also in charge of controlling and permitting immigration rates so that the two could be balanced…

No. No, that’s not it at all.

Immigrants would be better served by unprofitable low income housing, not feeding their meager scraps to pay artificially inflated rent prices to an offshore real estate investment company.

I don’t think anyone wants to make a brand new condo and try to full it full of fresh immigrants that other businesses are exploiting to pay less.

They want to develop 1 set of condos they can sell for $300k+ rather than 3 sets for $100k

It’s really sad to see how well the right is brainwashing a new generation of adolescents.

It’s a classic tactic to illustrate how people with less can survive. Living and being alive aren’t synonymous. Living paycheck to paycheck is capitalist extortion: work or die. So claiming you’re 20% above someone literally being threatened isn’t the freedom you think it is.

A union doesn’t “magically” earn you more money. They are most effective at advocating for the lowest earners against the most egregiously overpaid upper management: the extortioners who take home hundreds if not thousands of times the wages of the people they extort.

If the money simply wasn’t available, so be it. Enduring a famine from bad weather is one thing, enduring a famine because the regency holds 98% of your crop in a vault is another.

I don’t know the exact meaning of you 10 week runway statement, but I bet it’s some alphamale bullshit about needing only 10 weeks to successfully launch your highly successful business. The majority of startup businesses fail, and do you know who is responsible for a lot of it? Big corpos throwing their dicks around. Dropping prices in your local area until you bleed dry, then surging the price again to absorb the loss. Opening a mega-store to eat up market share until you can’t pay rent, then closing down and moving out of city limits to avoid municipal taxes. Hell, just owning the company that owns the company that owns the company that owns the damn building you rent and driving to costs up to drive you out.

And lastly — and I am now realizing you may be a foreign nationalist with only a romanticized idea of America — no one is ordering credit cards online randomly. Like, its not even a thing you really can do. You might as well be accusing people of buying too many MacDonalds and Coca-Colas.

It might not help you, but it helped me to recognize when laying in bed trying to “sleep in” wasn’t going to happen. If I’m not asleep again in 5 minutes and it’s past a certain time (6:30 for me), fuck it. My body just aches if I lay in bed awake trying to sleep. I get up and enjoy the quiet morning.

Appealing to the highest global polluters by illuminating the damage to third world countries?

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

I use the free stuff, like, all the time

Also, if you’re not going to play it this week, think twice! And, if you’re not going to play it this month, think a third time!

“I paid the most money to get the best truck and it can do anything. Ain’t no fuckin’ sign gonna tell me my truck can’t do it!”

I didn’t like this show, but I want a second season so that I could like it. It’s obvious that the one season wasn’t meant to be considered in isolation.

There’s plenty of examples of shows that didn’t have a great first season that, given the chance, really found their footing later on.

That’s my point: no “ideas man” is worth thousands of real workers.

If people who make things own them, who manages the “big picture” ideas? CEO pay tells me that requires the power of thousands of peasants workers.

Wouldn’t be the first time

“Open source seeds”

The future is fucking bonkers, man

Whats the most promising blood substitute? Local man is placing substantial bet of like $4.37
