I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

It also gets rid of useless administration and enforcement costs.

Dollar Tree, too. A friend of mine worked there for two weeks, quit when her first paycheck came as a debit card.

Wait, so you're hoping that the American government is covertly manipulating the roughly 1 in 3 Americans who watch the Superbowl expressly to retain the incumbents power because it means we'd avoid a fascist autocracy?

So Rogue is like Dean Pelton in this?

Gay doesn't even begin to cover it.

In your opinion, who is worse?

There's also a huge risk of this being misapplied. I remember way back in PS2 days, I was struggling with a jumping puzzle in the original God of War so much so that the game jumped in with a prompt offering to turn down difficulty. But turning down the difficulty in God of War reduces combat difficulty, nothing to do with the huge friggin' hole I kept falling into from mis-timing jumps.

Honestly, every game I've played that offers scaling difficulty based on performance has been because I sucked at the platforming parts that they couldn't make easier with a setting. Maybe it's a hint that I should stop playing platformers.

Where I live, all care has a six month wait list. I started a new job with new insurance back in April, still haven't been able to get in anywhere to see a new PCP. My dentist canceled an appointment on me last week and rescheduled it for February.

People say socialized medicine leads to long wait times to see doctors. Well, I'm not seeing them now anyway, so at least it's less or of my pocket.

That's because you're reading the chart wrong. It's showing the change in wealth for those age brackets across time.

People that were 40 in 1990 had a bigger share of the wealth than people who are 40 in 2020.

Over 70% of Earth's surface is water. Water is reflective. The Sun is protecting itself!

Find a few dozen people you like and start responding to their posts. Other people will see them and reply to them, and you can build up a network of people you interact with socially.

It's not quick, but the patience helps to filter down to just the people you actually trust and want to interact with.
