Yes - Building Societies

Also Onlyfans economics follows a power law - so like 5 of the models will be wildly popular and making a fortune, most won’t. Like bands, actors and similar.

No, you have to decide what is right for you and he has to respect it - and vice versa of course. This is essential to be able to give enthusiastic consent! If your mutual needs don’t align it’s also ok to not have sex

And people wonder why we can’t get anything done in this country

The point about centaurs is good too

I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😁

Agreed, we should always expect such coherence and conciseness from our leaders. Up your game Starmer!

That’s the one. Coherent, concise and on point. A very nice change. Why we would ever accept anything less from our leaders is beyond me

No, well done!

That taught me something I didn’t know

If you properly understand something you should be able to explain it precisely to a lay person using straightforward language. Depending on the level of detail, it may take awhile, but nothing need be lost. Jargon is a useful shorthand to accelerate communication between experts, all to often employed to buttress the position of the insecure or gatekeepers

Thank you both for the recommendations

You can’t do that anymore alas (except with the clan Nova) - you’re limited by the number of weapon mounts and heat management is now easier…

Play with keyboard and mouse - makes hitting things much easier. Redesign all mechs to have max armour. For most of the campaign bringing as many SRMs to the field as possible is good. Focus fire with your lance mates - makes them much more effective. Remove JJ - useless. LBX10s are great. Remove useless single LRM 5s and 10s from most things - put a lot of lrms on mechs with good quirks - Archer, Longbow. Keep moving, ideally always at least 45 degrees to your target

Temu are stealing her work and profiting from it. It matters - clearly there are a bunch of people who can afford to keep art alive who are spending their money at Temu rather than with her. Sort that out - currently it’s pretty much a risk free crime for the third party seller- and then art can be less dependent on public spending and thus more robust

Instead we ended up with midsized SUVs and everything looks like a stumpy running shoe. Oh well

Ah - a sensible comment in a thread about a wealth tax 😁. Yes - wealth taxes do raise money if they’re on things that are hard to move - so land, property. Also death duties - add up the estate, take a percentage. Anything else is more trouble than it’s worth. Better to effective and enforced income and consumption taxes.

And no getting away from the fact that it doesn’t solve the problem - to do that most people will have to pay more tax, and government needs to get much more efficient.

And they’ve got my credit card details, and an email address and purchase history more than 18 years old. So use that…
