Forty years... forty... years... I wonder if there was something *new *that our liberal democracy started forty years ago, where the focus shifted towards expanding economic growth at all costs.
New and different but still liberal. Neo maybe.
National flags are jingoist nonsense. Patriotism is a social disease.
Anti-trust is not about seeking perfection, it's a defense against abuses of power. That's a good thing unless you like to be abused by the powerful, in which case lick some more boots.

Tell me where I said I'd teach a child suicide should be front of mind. All I mean is they should get to choose if they live - in response to someone pleading that we all stop having children.
I want to have a child. Why should I not, because the world could be in rough shape due to climate catastrophe? I'll let them make that call and I hope they don't have to.
OP was begging everyone to stop having kids because they gave up on life - that's better than recognizing we can choose to stop living at any time?
Accepting the end of the human race is a lot more "what the fuck" than accepting the end of a human life, imo.
Which mentality?
That human life is worth living, but circumstances may not always be, so we reserve the right to choose our own exit from it, or that choosing to live is saying life is better than death?
Nah. If the climate crisis turns into societal collapse, and my future children want to avoid the pain of living through the apocalypse, they can kill themselves when things turn bleak. It's the same choice we all have. There's always a way off the ride. Every day any of us live is a day deemed better than the alternative.
In arguing that doctors shouldn't pay tax on more of their capital gains when they retire because they often have no access to a pension, they're ignoring that pension income is fucking taxed.
What a load of bullshit.
Such a strange thing to celebrate. This kind of service should really be run by the municipality. Like, my city has a dozen eco-stations for dropping off some chemicals, electronic waste and furniture or other household stuff that can be broken down for scrap. E-waste is always free.
Won't somebody please think of the petite bourgeousie.
Everything I know about liquid containers I learned from the TSA. Any liquid could be a secret explosive, so Israel had to blow it up to be sure it was really water. Destroying the water was an unfortunate and necessary measure to ensure the safety of all Gazans.

If it's your primary residence, zero.
If it's a revenue generating secondary property, an extra 20k for every 400k of gains.
I love that the "wealth manager" they interviewed is making such a big deal about how it will affect people who would never have need of his services because they'll never have wealth, let alone enough to need management. Playing up the "imagine being taxed because your mom died!" angle.
lol if you click that link, and ctrl+f "union", then read each instance, you'll see it's not negative.

"Union" is mentioned 8 times.
How do you even make 20,000 amendments to an 18 page document? Did they change every word individually?
Even as a non-medical user, sleep is a hard adjustment. When I stopped using, I stopped sleeping through the night.
I do have to say that I feel less groggy when I wake up now, after an adjustment period, than I ever did while I smoked heavily. Though I think I'm just generally more alert - I'm still not sleeping well.
Pain is tough. I hope you find a solution that works for you. ❤️
As long as its hot, bitter and caffeinated I guess I can make do. I'd really, really rather not have to though.

They're mostly looking into it to help get the cost of shipping goods to remote communities down, but this bit at the end sounds so cool I want to write a novel about it:
>Rodyniuk said airships could also bring mobile hospitals to communities in the North. > > "A fully serviceable hospital can show up in a community and remain there before moving to another community," he said.
I had no idea that McDonald's had different prices for the same items in different locations. Like it makes sense in retrospect but damn, nugs at a 50% premium depending on where you get them.
