I think decentralization of power is a nice feature too. Billionaires are power centers outside of the government, judiciary, or military. They exist as a result of lax control on the markets by the government. In countries without capitalism and property rights, the billionaires are the government and the judiciary and the military. So, even though it might seem like nationalizing their wealth would decrease inequality, if there aren’t good safeguards for decentralizing government power, it would result in a less equal society.

Part of the existence of billionaires is the ability to actually determine which money is theirs. In autocratic governments, you can’t really say who owns what because you never know what the government might decide to take.

I don’t defend billionaires, I think power should be spread more fairly, but eliminating them via the government needs to be done wisely in order to maintain decentralization.

So, most people are evil then??

We need a movie, TV series and porn block.

Just think about the amount of time the average human being could save in one year.

I met a researcher that was measuring swimmer sweat. To do it he had to patch part of their body with a waterproof detector. Spoiler alert, they do!

Let me know when your karaoke/trivia night is?

Also, welcome to Ottawa.

It would look like a lot of free baby sitting. Where do I sign up?

The app store is a massive pool of free-to-play shit.

It’s a polymer just like synthetic rubber. It isn’t like other natural products. Wood can rot because it’s made of cellulose, but rubber can’t. Nothing eats it.

I had a similar thought, but when I looked into it, the difference between natural and oil based rubber is not significant. Natural rubber would be just as bad.

It’s new for me!

Knowledge fight is pretty great, but at some point it started to sound way too scripted. I find it a bit weird especially since it’s comedians hosting.

I like it hot

I didn’t even know this existed. Is this new?

All the other ones surprisingly suck compared to AntennaPod

Same, but on Gameboy Colour

Not necessarily true. In Canada the Conservative party led the way on conservation of the Commons before the green party even existed. Not anymore, obviously, but in the past, yes.

They were NIMBYs with farms, essentially.

Just go for volume. Listen to a lot of stuff at full speed and eventually it will start making sense.

t’parl’qu’a?

Saving this thread, I’m looking for the same.

Just found SuperTuxCart. Being playing a lot after the baby goes to bed. So good! So classic!
