“coice calls”

Hehe

Idiots.

You guys really need better hobbies

Exactly.

“Stfu, I need my stat pay”

And they looked remarkably similar! Must’ve been twins like us! Looks like “loving” twins runs through our family.

I don’t think this is it. It’s simply a question of return on investment.

If I had oil industry related investments, I would want:

• supply from my investments to go up.
• demand for my supplied goods/services to go up.

Now if I am a small investor, it would make sense for me to slowly sell off my oil assets and invest into green energy IF: – I believe that there are investment opportunities in green energy that will give me a better return on investment than my current oil investments.

Whenever I sell an investment to pivot to some other investment, I undermine the value of my current investment. How’s that? Because I’m increasing the supply of my investment asset. This lowers the price.

Basically, if my oil stock was worth x, and if I put it for sale on the market, it’s now worth x-y, where y is some positive number.

Again, if I’m a small investor, y will be tiny as I’m not really increasing the supply of the oil stock by much.

BUT. If I’m an oil oligarch… Well, y is going to be VERY HIGH. It does not make monetary sense for me to sell off my assets and move them to green energy. I don’t necessarily have confidence that my losses (y) would be recouped through the ROI from green energy.

I’m a selfish, unempathetic asshole. I want to maintain my wealth. Therefore, I take the cheaper way out -> influence the government to delay green investment, so that demand for oil doesn’t fall.

Market demand. They get built because the capitalists think that people want them to be built. If people don’t want them to be built, they would go out of business and shut down.

But to answer your question, my city is sprawling and growing vertically at the same time. For the new neighborhoods, yeah, gas stations, bank branches and other such businesses do get constructed in the central commercially zoned part.

Lmfao telling it to “not act like AI” in the beginning works for me. I like to tell it to “be as efficient as possible with the word count” to prevent most of the bs. Works decent enough for my purposes.

The university I graduated from: “University of the People”.

It’s an online uni in Pasadena, California. They’re regionally and nationally accredited. From an accreditation standpoint, they’re at par with other unis, so you won’t have to worry about that. Super affordable. Plus, they’re not a for profit thing, so that’s cool too.

There are a couple of drawbacks though. They won’t place you anywhere. I don’t know how the placement for other unis works, but it is quite non existent for UoPeople. The other drawbacks are again all of those that online education has in general.

Separatism isn’t inherently treason. Conspiring with foreign actors to conduct acts that undermine the sovereignty of Canada while promote the interests of that foreign actor(s) is.

Especially when the said foreign actor has expressed intentions to ANNEX US.

The president of another country publicly saying, “we will annex you against your will”, not once but hundreds of times itself is as threating if not more than military buildup.

We’re so desentisized to Trump’s ramblings, that we often forget that he’s the PRESIDENT of the US. He wields immense power and can act on what he says (which he has done almost always).

A foreign power tells us that we’ll be annexed. Their president repeatedly refers to our elected officials by names designated to non sovereign entities inside their country.

This foreign power funds and engages in a separatist movement within our country. How is this not an “act preparatory to war”?

These assholes should be locked up for high treason.

Note: Quebecois separatism is different. It’s really stupid, but NOT TREASON. Why’s that? It would be treason to conspire with a foreign power, and take actions to undermine the sovereignty of Canada.

Had Alberta separatism not had US involvement, it would not have been treason. It would just be a bunch of really stupid people using their democratic rights to act within what they feel is their interest.

But what is happening right now is exactly what happened to Ukraine.

If the current administration is really as “elbows up” as it claims to be, it should prosecute and shut down this US backed operation in Alberta. Not doing so could make us another Ukraine.

Tastes really good even when you have bad/stale coffee. Much better than iced coffee.

Freshly roasted (7-30 days after roast) becomes alive when brewed hot. It’s like tasting higher resolution coffee (when compared to cold brew)

I would agree (not an evolutionary biologist). Game theory at the end of the day ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

• I thought all women had balls.
• Testicles act as urine tanks.
• Sex is a procedure done in a hospital, under the supervision of doctors. A couple goes to a hospital to perform sex when they plan on having a baby.
• Penetrative sex involves parting butt cheeks and “dropping the penis in”. This was my first wet dream lmfao, where I was “dropping my dick” in a hot friend. Except, the friend was a boy and so was I.
• Thinking I was straight.

(Clearly, I got access to porn quite late, and sex Ed didn’t exist at school or home)

I’m sorry, couldn’t help myself… Do you mean <7?

I’ve seen the following types of people:

• People who ask how to do it, and get amazed.
• People who legitimately are not bothered by ads.
• Who think it to be a “headache”, and to just “let it be”.
• Who are incredibly tech illiterate to the point of frustration.

I used to use brave when I just started becoming privacy aware. Here are the reasons why:

• it’s chromium based. I loved the way chromium based browsers looked, especially when compared to Firefox. They had a comforting feel to them, whereas Firefox had a very “office-ey” feel to it.
• I wasn’t aware of the issues of chromium dominating the market share that it does and how monopolization in this manner can be harmful.
• I wasn’t aware of the people behind brave.
• I had seen older people use Firefox (with the default UI, which I didn’t like). That’s why, I associated Firefox with “old and outdated”. I hadn’t seen anyone use brave, and it looked quite good at the time for me.

Now, I use Mercury, a Firefox fork (ikik, it hasn’t seen an update in a long time, shush). I’ve loaded it up with my custom CSS, so its appearance is exactly the way I like.

The reason to promote Firefox is different. As far I’ve observed people here, Mozilla isn’t viewed in a particularly high regard here. It’s just viewed as the “less bad” option.

Google is an ad company. Targeted ads pay more. Invasion of user privacy is highly necessary for having good targeted ads. Hence, Google simply cannot not invade user privacy.

Mozilla is incompetent, yes. But it’s a non profit with a revenue model very different than that of Google.

Blink has a scarily high share of the market. Google is blink’s curator. This gives Google a scarily large amount of power. That is another reason I’ve seen many cite as a reason to use Firefox.

I’ve never seen anyone dick riding Mozilla.
