Giving a minority different treatment will cause resentment in the majority. Anything from a scoff because they don’t get told off for telling a mean joke about you to a lifelong maga supporter if you think you did not get a certain job because of affirmative action.

I don’t think anyone is better off in a more polarised society.

Is it okay to make a joke about keeping queers on a leash during straight events?

Two words: Nintendos lawyers.

Having porn as the background saves you about 9 minutes of deciding what to crank it out to, you can just get started.

Can you name another game that everyone else knows and can show the battle of wits?

You don’t get access to anything you’re not working with and if you do have access and they found out you used it to spy on your kids then you’re probably getting fired.

You have to convince the swing state undecided voters, not new yorkers.

If looks is 10, personality is 10 and smarts is 1 it’s still a 7 average score which is pretty good.

Just have to look out for dangerous combinations with dumb. A stubborn risk taker for example.

At work I’m paid for it. The software is very much specialised and while probably possible to run under Linux it’s just too much of a headache.

Unfortunately depending on where you live this may just be reality.

Setting up a website, paying for an admin, bandwidth only to hand money to you makes no sense.

It’s specifically designed to give you the rush of gambling. Dream about winning big, the excitement of doing your analysis deciding who to bet on, you bouncing on your couch when you’re watching, the rush when you get it right.

You would not expect me to build a rollercoaster and then give you money to ride on it?

I’ve used the same pfp which is a photo of myself with a funny mask since 2007.

Need a longer runway.

The warmup takes ages, no matter what I’m doing.

It does not sound like something I’d get into. But if I know the Internet then there is an (unfulfilled or I’ve just not heard of) niche market for that too.

When the battery does not hold long enough. I don’t care enough to put effort into my phone anyway. I pick between the cheaper models at the local store despite work paying for it.

When we had a couch at the old office I used to have a nap in it during the afternoon coffee break.

It looked easy but It’s ludicrously difficult to do. Russia tried something similar in Ukraine and got bogged down in a war they still have not got out of.

The fact that it worked and did not turn into another black hawk down scenario is like you say months of preparing, someone on the inside high enough to have information and dislike Maduro enough and a good batch of luck.

Running fast food chain at day, liposuction clinic at night.

Europe would not be able to help much even with greenland under control. The US navy is much stronger and a lot of Europe’s navy is tailored for coastal defense.
