There is motivation to do better - inventors are praised and financially rewarded, and those who successfully apply new tech are too.
Sure, an inventor won’t turn billionaire, but he also won’t run a risk of losing it all trying to apply said invention. Market actually scares many off, it’s not simply a land of opportunities.
Not in percentage terms. Yes, you have to put smaller amounts, but they also make a bigger dent in your overall finances because you earn much less, too.
Socialism and planned economy, ban on private enterprises
Not only does it aim to stop neverending inequality shift and enshittification, it also helps to save Earth by putting an end to overproduction and bullshit consumerism
Countering on a 20’s side:
On the other hand, would you be at the same point in life if you would save every penny?
Having savings could greatly help you now, but what if you’d never experience whatever you spent your extra on? Maybe it was something new, or simply something that helped you deal with a compounding stress, or maybe you can simply remember your carefree times with warmth in your heart.
It might not be visible at the first glance, but it is important and it might have changed a lot more that you think in retrospect.

We’re going for a diplomatic victory, too.
For once, they do something right.
Fuck the army. Especially American.
Should be locked from applications. Only fairies will pass!
Imagine being the top star and never even getting a copy :'(
As any lover, I hope that day never comes :)
I wish you to find the love of your life, and never again experience the pain of breaking up!
Gonna take one more ride to my beloved girl this weekend
2,5" drives are usually slower, but still about 5400rpm, which is on par with many NAS-specific 3,5" drives.
Also, you show Barracudas here, and I’d warn against them in a NAS environment. If you pick among Seagates, Ironwolf series might be what you need; otherwise, WD Reds reign supreme, just check that the specific drive you’re looking for uses CMR, not SMR.
To begin with, they operate with some very shady definitions of left and right.
Any political coordinates centered on American view of left and right are super skewed and already biased. If you consider Democrats to be “the left”, boy something is wrong with that.
And when this happens, what you think is “unbiased news” is really just two flavors of right-wing propaganda, one a bit more extreme than the other.
When capitalists are doing minor successions to be just a bit less evil, this is not “left”, and whatever is between that and fascist dictatorship is not the enlightened center.
TL;DR Ground News is one of the places that teach you the position between American Left and American Right is actually neutral and balanced. It is very much not.
Universal healthcare doesn’t “bring down capitalism” and doesn’t mean socialism. It’s just a norm of civilized capitalist world, one of the achievements of the working class that became entrenched in policies. Same for guaranteed income. All good policies, but can absolutely exist in a non-socialist world.
Socialism is characterized by common ownership of the means of production, i.e. all the big businesses go away and the control of industries is public, either through government or worker’s cooperatives.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans offer anything close.
(Socialist political groups can advocate for things such as universal healthcare/UBI/etc, but their endgoal has to be the eradication of private property)
One should note that American Left is literally only left by weird American standards.
Literally everyone outside Land of the free will tell you Dems are moderate rights, and the truth is super far from “between Dems and Reps”.
America hasn’t seen a healthy political debate since the Red Scare. With the real left eradicated and members of any left organizations, let alone past or current member of the communist parties, becoming essentially enemies of the state, politicians felt comfortable instating that Dems are “actually left”, so as to gradually put real left to serve a slightly leftier flavor of capitalists.
And as such, you don’t see the actual unbiased debate you expect. You see two kinds of right-wingers debating how right America should go.
Real “unbiased” center, by international standards, is more left than Democrats, even. It’s around Bernie Sanders.
And the left is about dismantling capitalism and building a real socialist state. Like, USSR socialist, not Sweden “socialist”.
There’s one more thing to consider: when we think of aliens, we constantly think of those blue human-like creatures based on carbon life forms.
Most likely, alien life will be formed entirely differently: maybe it will be silicon-based, maybe something else, or a planetary mind, or something we can’t even imagine.
And no, we didn’t contact them yet and are unlikely to in many, many lifetimes.
This is often seen as a positive measure as well, because it reduces the risk of bribery and other sorts of corruption. One wouldn’t risk an already great income for a chance to get a little extra.
Hope you can recover!
Had suffered sound damage prior, my ENT doctor said I was super lucky to not cross the line after which it would get irreversible.
Currently having no ear sounds above normal.
If it’s actually tinnitus, no
If it’s something that makes you think you have one, yes
I was under the impression that people in primal tribes just die before this becomes a massive problem
