In this case the land that contains the crater is valuable because it is uniquely fascinating to visitors, so I would treat it like a national park. It makes sense to reserve it as an exceptional public resource even granting private land ownership as a general practice.

Not sure if this is what you want but this video has them voiced

There’s a similar one for vices.

I certainly dislike Hasan but this doesn’t seem like a fair criticism. Assuming he genuinely is trying to convince people to embrace leftist ideas, it makes sense to use an actually popular platform. He could use something like peertube too, but using it exclusively would be unreasonable. Amazon benefitting slightly from his anticapitalist messaging doesn’t disqualify his arguments. Rather, he undermines himself with more significant controversies.

I just use Stardew Profits

World hunger, global literacy rates, number of people living in extreme poverty, deaths to malaria, investment in renewable energy, the hole in the ozone, homicide rates, etc.

Things going well just don’t get talked about as much.

Normalize including an argument with hot takes

Me when I assign absurd motivations to anyone who disagrees with me

Owls are thought to be wise because of their association with Athena and having dramatic eyes, but they have small brains and are not particularly smart compared to other birds.

Theatre kid if they are aware of their weirdness. Thespian if they are pretentious about it

Kinda burying the lede to criticize his political position when he apparently supports statutory rape.

I don’t know about hard drugs, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Wisconsin had a problem with them. Alcoholism is very prominent here. Here’s a map showing grocery stores vs bars in the US

If you are paying that much for a starter home, you are paying for the location. Not saying houses are cheap, but they are only that crazy in a high cost of living area. It’s not really surprising that houses are expensive in places where everything is expensive. I bought a 2 bedroom home for $175k a few years ago in a city with a population of 10k.

40% is an obvious strawman, but it’s a shitpost so that’s ok.

No one likes tipping culture. But regardless of what we want to happen, the reality is in the US there are jobs that depend significantly on tips for living wage. It is a well-understood social convention, and by making a purchase you are implicitly accepting the expectations associated with the customer. By taking the worker’s time and refusing to pay that part of their wage, you are underpaying them. Your protest against tips in no way inconveniences their shitty employer or otherwise incentivises them to do better. The only one worse off is the service worker you stiffed, and nothing improves.

If you do want to actually change things, you can become politically involved to try to improve their wage so they aren’t actually dependent on tips. Or you can boycott them by taking your business to places that don’t rely on tips. That way the shitty employer actually loses business to places with better practices. But don’t be a dick to an underpaid worker while pretending to have the moral high ground.

Most people lose money to insurance. It’s a method of mitigating risk. You’re accepting a modest regular payment in exchange for not needing to build up a big reserve (or go into debt) in case something really expensive comes down the line.

Life insurance is kind of similar. If people saved the money they pay for it until they do die, on average that saved amount would be more. But having life insurance while healthy and working means that in the unlikely event of your death, your beneficiaries will be compensated for the loss of the income you provide when otherwise they would be SOL.

Many animals we consider herbivores are opportunistic omnivores.

Assuming this is USD, inflation has ranged between 2-4% over the past few years. It peaked at just over 9% during covid. That being said, wage growth has been about the same.

Chuck Norris suggested re-electing Obama would lead to 1000 years of darkness. He wasn’t being subtle even before Trump’s first campaign.
