There are old methods of getting lumber from trees by cutting them short and letting the limbs grow back. The Japanese “daisugi” and European “copsing” are two different styles of the same idea. The fact that we don’t see those done much in the modern era makes me think that the industrial-capitalist mind would not comprehend the idea of waiting for leaves to fall.
Not only because of that, but it was definitely a factor.
I know these tech bros are just jerking each other off, I don’t need to see their wank material.
Build housing that would be rent-to-own. The only qualification would be paying first month’s rent and a deposit, then if you stay for 15 years you own the place. Price it for minimal profit (5-10%) and build/renovate a new set every year.
Show would have been Starblazers or Robotech (Americanized Space Battleship Yamato and Macross/Southern Cross/Mospaeda, respectively.) For movies probably Akira.
Jesus, is there any way both sides can lose? Because fuck ticket scalpers, but fuck Ticketmaster too.
I brought a sample of some porchetta I made to a coworker and he said he was leaving his wife for me. One of the best compliments I’ve received.
Buy several really good pizzas and share them around with whoever is hungry.
Ross Perot got 18.9% of the popular vote in 1992. While he didn’t get any electoral votes he likely prevented a second HW Bush term.
Just to clarify your second statement, gaslighting is when person A tries to convince person B that person B did not see/hear/experience something that person B did in fact see, hear, or experience.
In OP’s situation, their girlfriend might be gaslighting OP if she texted “I’m getting an Uber home, see you in a bit” and then got mad and insisted she had told OP to meet her at the door.
All that said, I will echo many others in this thread and say that just because it isn’t gaslighting doesn’t mean OP is in a healthy relationship. OP, please insist on relationship counseling at a minimum.
Dave Chapelle had a whole bit about this before he decided to double (and triple, and quadruple) down on transphobia. He makes the very salient point that these things are delicious.
Melon with something savory is a widely popular choice. See: honeydew with prosciutto/parma ham and cantaloupe/honeydew with tajin (Mexican mix of savory spices.)
Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.
Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.
All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.
24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.
After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.
Depends on a number of factors. A ton of companies have moved to web based tools for a big chunk of their workforce. If those web apps are more or less standards-compliant you could pull it off with minimal retraining.
I’d work on forestation, planting permaculture food forests.
Did he actually defend that subreddit or is it more of a general “this happened and he didn’t do anything about it until he had no choice?”
Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?
Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?
People who were already poor would remain so. Most people who aren’t wealthy can’t afford to own acres of land that doesn’t produce crops. If leaves suddenly became money, that would not change the fundamental needs people have of food and shelter. So you’d have the wealthy with vast swathes of forest that would slowly die as they carted out a lot of compost for use in markets, and people who live in apartments or other rental situations would never see a leaf on the ground again. You might see suburban homeowners get really good about caring for their trees and planting more, so that’s one possible benefit but overall this would be a nightmare.
