The shite-ass touch.

You should read Flatland it’s an awesome book and blew my mind as a young textile geek.

The US exported the Revolution to France.

I think you’re thinking of the Magna Carta.

I came to the same realization eventually! Pro tip!

He was on cocaine, which as we know, makes you immune to sleeping.

Great idea. I’d love a “No German” switch.

Thankfully you can block a handful of users and then you won’t get included in their new perversions.

Whack-a-Moe. Seems endless. I point to that as a main reason lemmy will never gain popularity.

Oh my god, soooooo many. An unreal amount of dreck here. The worst part is that I’ve blocked all that stuff and now it’s mostly terrible world news. And so, to answer your question, no it hasn’t made the experience here better. I guess my interests don’t jive with the main niches around here.

As a tradesman I feel this way about massage therapy. It feels good and it helps, but then I have to work more to afford it thus making my body worse.

This is a plot point in An American War

The only way that you can stop a crazy-killer-robo-taxi is to have your own craxy-killer-robo-taxi.

Craxy-killer-robo-taxi don’t kill people… Oh wait, they do.

Dude, politics is a system that society has created to prevent change. When you get that, the western system of governance makes more sense.

You’re looking at it from the wrong side. Imagine a politician saying, “we’re starting a new tax, 20% of your income”. You ask why, what’s it for and he says “everything!” how keen are you for that?

All taxes were created one at a time and sold to people individually. Politicians said “we need money for x, we need to tax y to pay for it”. Run for office on a platform of eliminating all taxes with your omnibus tax reforms and we’ll see how it goes.

I think because when a tax is getting implemented the people want to know exactly why they pay it and what it’s for.

Here we have school boards that manage a very large area of many schools. The taxes of many municipalities pool to fund many schools. These tax systems are old and probably very hard to change. I’m sure there are better ways to do things but the political might to change the system isn’t there.

I’m all for tax reform, but people need to understand what taxes pay for what stuff. I’m sure municipalities would like a different way to generate revenue than property taxes as well.

In Canada we like “sin” taxes on bad for you things. The lottery funds schools, liquor taxes fund health care for example.

I want to pay and gladly will for community enrichment,

Most people say this and I agree. And then the comment under you is complaining about paying property taxes which directly pay for these things you’d like to see funded.

Here’s my sign.
