can. they can.

• looks around the office cubical farms *

they form a call centre?

my statement stands, especially since it works for everyone else.

no idea about "clicked", but we all wanted to know.

you mean the online game based on the book?

also, there are indeed lots of books with other names. Millions and millions of books with other names. You should visit a library sometime. Will blow your mind.

I don't know if that is actually the case or not, but regardless, yeah, it's overall a pretty bad system.

it is possible.

"preinstalled". lol.

America's hat/touk!

it would surprise you to learn that many business owners are shit at their jobs. You've never heard of mechanics ripping off people for headlight fluid? Or shoddy construction work?

This isn't a landlord problem. it's a human one.

"shareholders" have nothing to do with any part of this conversation.

UBI has nothing to do with preventing profit. Which is good, because we shouldn't be preventing profit. We should be preventing exploitation.

you should be paid enough to make a profit. profit = money left over from being paid after expenses.

If you spend some time - any time - you should be compensated an amount that allows you to do things you actually want to do.

I'm not sure you knew what the word "profit" means, but hopefully you do now, or can find a better way to express what you mean.

there absolutely should be a profit for rent. Being a good landlord is work, work should be compensated. Taking the risk of ownership (low though it might be) should be compensated.

The issue isn't profit. The issue is a) artificial lack of supply driving up prices b) greed and exploitation of basic needs.

In some countries, like some of the USA, you get clean drinking water pumped into your house for your toilets. However you do the math a) people need to work on the system to keep it working and they should get paid a living wage b) water is a need even more than housing. We pay for water, and people make profit on it. How you pay for it - taxes, city rates, privately - whatever, you pay for it.

that isn't the issue, just like paying rent isn't the issue. it's the amount which is.

the solution is simple and already exists: universal basic income, and make basic needs like water and rent limited by this amount.

you can.

We can assign a different number only if:

• Sequential numbers assigned to members of the same family are causing problems.
• More than one person is assigned or using the same number.
• A victim of identity theft, who has attempted to fix problems resulting from the misuse but continues to be disadvantaged by using the original number.
• There is a situation of harassment, abuse or life endangerment.
• An individual has religious or cultural objections to certain numbers or digits in the original number. (We require written documentation in support of the objection from a religious group with which the number holder has an established relationship.) To request a different Social Security number, contact your local Social Security office for an in-person appointment.

he's not wrong though. they are toxic cesspools.

my favourite part is how while yes, developers can still release software for the Quest 1, as long as they also release it for the Quest 2, users are not allowed to even search for it.

SEARCH is blocked/filtered (for new Q1/2 apps released after April 30). What the hell.

How does that make sense?

we call that setting "the Riker".
