Buying things is literally the economy. People spending money into it improves the economy directly. The velocity of money is a key part of a working market, and the rich impart very little of their wealth into it.

You think it's reasonable for one of the few people that doesn't know how a half century old piece of media ends to stifle discussion for everyone else who does?

You might have a case for a new movie or show, but something that was public knowledge before the moon landing? Whose story has been repeating in our culture in various forms for six decades?

No, thats not a reasonable ask.

The job was literally called "computers." People that did long and tedious calculations to output mathematical tables.

The extra panel hidden by the red button is also a great magic school bus callback.

Not surprised Thiels/Musks paypal/venmo are onboard.

This is just an absurd attempt to derail arguments about fair taxation by waiving a red herring around about people being able to voluntarily increase their own taxes, as if asking for a fair system is the same as utterly destroying your own solvency.

Book is 60 or so, the first dune movie is 40, the first new movie is nearly 4. There are 20 year old TV series and 30 year old video games. There are Dune RPGs that could legally drink if they were made of flesh instead of paper.

Spoiler warnings have expired entirely for Dune and Dune accessories.

Sounds like someone separated his brain from his body to either sell to medical science, a university, or the army, and instead fucked it up.

Maybe legal, probably not. Its common in the US, and deeply fucked up.

I dont know the article, but looking for work generally helps me when im absolutely fucking done with a job.

Yes, its more work, but it makes all the "huge and terrible" problems of your main job seem smaller, isolated, even stupid. They matter less because you dont have to depend on that job anymore, so you actually do get better mentally.

Then, if the job search is good or the second job is enough, quit that first fucker and be totally done with all the stress.

At least lift some different rocks in some different ways.

City has 10 parallel car heavy paths to get from point A to B : normal, good, as it should be.

City has 9 parallel car heavy paths and 1 person/bike/transit path to get from point A to B : A travesty, doom for business, the unraveling of all civilization.
