I would say you’re pretty much on the money only in the region of 1000sq for a single person being “optimal” once you take into account storage spaces, bathrooms, balconies, and so on. A kitchen for one and a bathroom is likely the same size as for a couple. A couple doesnt need a noticable amount more room than one person. Add kids and immediately double it… they have a lot of stuff.
In most countries for average people if you can make a convincing argument about why you thought it would be allowed and can argue it with a straight face they arent interested in nailing you over it because it isnt worth their time.
I asked my accountant “Hey, when I take sick leave at work and I have to get a doctors certificate to get paid for those days, does that make the doctors visit a work expense?”
He said “Thats a legitimate enough argument that if you want me to I’ll put them on your return. Dont know if it would pass an audit but the reasoning is solid”
You have no choice but to see everything, wether you want to or not.
The only defence I can think of for not releasing them is that they are written in code that could destroy people for doing nothing other than having met him and there is no reference key.
E.g Mr X, a1 4d b2
Mr Y, a1 3f b2
A1 means “Straight and unmarried” but 4d means “Totally a Pedo” and 3f means “Will probably call the police if you even hint at it” and b2 is “Drinks heavily, doesnt do drugs”
Now thats a heavy handed example but look at all the conjecture about who “Bubba” is… Now imagine the conspiracy theorists if thats what the lists look like. That all being said even if they dont make them public the fact that they have these files and theres been no arrests is fucking shameful.
Yeah, I’m doomed if my ass hits couch. I need to maintain some form of momentum.
Theres a reason dads make hobbies out of their yard, grilling and DIY.I have to do this shit anyway, it can either be what stops me from doing what I want or I can find the happiness and satisfaction in it.
My relaxation time might be ten minutes having a coffee in the back yard with the garden and lawn looking immaculate but it would have been 2 hours work to get it to “done” but 3 to get it to “perfect” because ultimately what was I gonna do with that hour? Watch some Youtube videos I only half give a fuck about or play a video game I’m mediocre at. Once you figure out you can also run a smoker while you do those chores at the end of the day everyone gets ribs.
The only nice thing I can say about chatbots is that they are a step up from “if your problem is with blank press one. If your problem is with…” telephone systems.
Wallet front right, phone left front, keys either left knee or left rear (if no cargo pockets), work keys around my neck on a lanyard. If they arent there I have lost them and they must be found immediately.
Ok. Hypothetically speaking if my family lives in a town, and I recieve a job offer in another state that pays $600,000 a year my household income triples, my wife no longer has to work and I rent a spare room near work I TECHNICALLY live in another state.
If they are fulfilling their contracts who gives a fuck. I know a guy who “lives” with his parents on paper but is a full time vanlife I.T consultant. He hasnt “lived” anywhere specific in about 3 years.
Lemmy sucks it just sucks different, its the photo negative of truth social and anyone who thinks that this place isnt just a different echo chamber is deluded.
Because (historically speaking) its arguably the safest and highest yield form of investment that the working class can make. That being said obviously theres a tipping point in regards to the amount of income you’re generating at which it becomes predatory.
Funding a nice retirement? Ok. Making it so only one parent has to work? Fine. Jacking up the rent to cover the insurance on the new Lambo? Fuck you.
Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.
Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia… for a while at least.
Its also available as a one time lifetime payment.
I had a Volvo V70 that I could get an extra 30hp for $2000 through the factory supported polestar tune… I decided not to because I couldnt try before I bought. If I could have bought it for a month then decided I probably would have.
The Lemmy community is outraged by this, car enthusiasts just see this as business as usual.
It wasnt the “toy thing” theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.
The patern on easy money tends to be - buy something that 15yo boys lusted after when its 15 years old and hold it for 10 years then watch the values climb over the next 10 before they plateau and then drop.
Middle age is a bitch.
Nah, a well done custom will retain most of its value provided we arent talking about hyper individual customisation. Theres a lot of dead time involved in a well executed custom and theres a value to it being already done that a lot of cashed up people are willing to pay a premium on that offsets the outlay, You usually wont make money though.
99.999% of used sex toys by owner absolutely.
That 0.001%… massive increase in value.
I guarantee you theres a guy out there who would bankrupt his family for something thats been in Keira Knightley.
The nature of the fediverse means bad actors could run rampant, jumping instances and usernames to turn the place into a shitshow.
The only reason it isnt happening already is that we arent worth the trouble.
The only way to avoid it once a certain size is reached is a paid moderation team with a mission statement to stamp that shit out, which means a budget is needed which means backers/investors/advertising… and tou get where this is going.
Your life, your body, your choice and all.
But if you dont have a legit medical reason that having children would be ill advised I wouldnt do it. I never wanted kids, I hated kids. But people change, had one at 35 and another on the way at 40…
21yo me absolutely should not have had kids, I would have been a fucking terrible parent and I’m glad i didnt.
Yeah the whole “Why would anybody want…” line of thinking is dumb. What we want is awesome, what they market it as is pretty good and the bullshit we get are 3 different things.
