While I agree an anticapitalist author would lean that way, I don’t agree with the implication that you need an anticapitalist author to write a good book.

It just means they know the truth, and decided to be capitalist, anyway. Ignorant people can be educated, but this author understood the cause and sold us out for money, instead of joining.

Naturally, I won’t be supporting them.

That’s very fair. Plenty of books out there.

Nah thats the government’s ability to regulate.

He hasn’t defunded the courts, so private lawsuits can occur. (At least he hasn’t as of today, maybe he will tomorrow)

Pirating an anticapitalist book sounds so morally correct

When I decide I can’t support an author, I specifically buy the books used. Maybe that’s an option for you, here.

I got my kid the whole Harry potter series second hand from thrift stores, cost me maybe 15$ total, didn’t finance Rowling at all. Took me a bit, they only show up once in a while.

That or straight up piracy. Author gets the same 0$ either way.

But also may they sue for false advertising and cost Tesla legal fees and result in them being obligated to provide these services for free.

For sure but I still find it quicker to just spiral carve up a 2x2 spruce and chuck it all into a dedicated charcoal smelter that uses its own charcoal to smelt everything.

But if someone strip mines a ton, then yeah, coal as a byproduct is better, I suppose.

I always like renewables though. Even a slow or wasteful farm is better than doing it myself, when I play, so to each their own.

Same. And then when I believed it was real, I still thought it was some throwaway game, because that’s not just a gimmick, it’s a silly one.

I agree that if its fun for people, have fun, but I never could take the game seriously while a bunch of anime characters and freaking Goofy. Couldn’t get into the story.

I’ve always used charcoal.

Sure, coal was easier to find, but charcoal is renewable, and I like that.

Even ignoring that, 8 logs becomes 7 charcoal, and planting is trivial, so its just faster to farm trees in the long run. Coal is for villagers that demand it, specifically, in early trades.

Now for smelting I like bamboo, you can fully automate it. Technically you can fully automate kelp now too with the crafter, but bamboo is easy. Just break it like sugarcane and funnel it to your furnace directly, done.

Stay with your parents.

If you can afford to move to a new place on your own with what you make right now, you can afford to put that same money into a savings account. That money in the bank is far more useful if something happens to you, your kid, or your parents. Figure out what you’d pay in a new house, childcare, mortgage, the whole thing, subtracting what you currently pay, and set it aside.

Also, I assume whatever your dad would’ve given you is some kind of retirement fund, and while that’s very nice of him to offer it, it’d be better for him to still have that later, for all the same reasons it’s good for you to save.

If it’s not a retirement fund, then it either is in some kind of high interest savings account, or should be. You can take his example or you both can look into that together, and set that up for his current money and your future money.

Money aside, having family support is worth so much more than it seems. I have a child the same age, too, and the difference between me being able to go do something, anything, from see a movie to shop to go on a date with my wife, and be able to leave my kid at home and know she’s in good hands, it’s worth so much more than it seems like it should be. My advice is even if you decide to move out, do it when your kid is more independent, and you have an even better financial situation.

Yeah that too.

I’m happy with mint I just wanted to see what it said.

I’d never heard of it so I tried it out, it seemed fine until the end where it listed about ten different distros with no real way to differentiate them.

Like, yeah, mint and Ubuntu and elementary and zorin and xubuntu all work for my use cases. I wanted it to give me a reason why one is better than another.

So, yeah, can’t recommend that website. It’s trying to help, but it won’t, really.

They support the Roman empire and believe it to be superior.

This shakes that belief.

Same. I bought my house a year before the housing market went up. Paid 110,000, now my bank says it’s worth 250,000.

Honestly, as cool as it is for me, that’s just not fair to everyone else. We barely made enough for the 110k loan, and this house is barely big enough for everyone. No fucking way could we have gotten 250k in any sort of loan.

Also when I say barely I mean barely, the seller actually went down to 110 from 120 because that was the max we could get, and we knew him personally. So on top of the price spike, we actually couldn’t afford our house, if I hadn’t made friends with the guy previously.

Plot twist, they quit.

This is neat. I understand some of it, too, but the cool part is I had no idea you could do anything like this in CSS.

I do.

I mean none of it is good, but there’s cat food that genuinely tastes bad.

Aren’t you a little curious?

You could call it c/puzzlemethis, maybe. It’d sound like “riddle me this” so the purpose is pretty easy to figure out, but it also says that this isn’t just riddles.

Luckily my model of other people’s model of me has lost enough genuine character that it’s more of a trope so my model of someone else’s model of me has like 3 models that apply to everyone and that’s so reductive I ignore them.

Here’s the text.

“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”

Impeachment is important and it should’ve happened, but the senate literally can’t do anything except remove him from office, and the impeachment text specifically allows for regular law to also apply to whoever got impeached.

So no, we do not have this covered by impeachment, and no former president is immune from regular legal proceedings.

Current presidents are, though, through supreme court precedent and the self-pardon. Former presidents should not automatically get this benefit though.
