Then why does going faster also make it easier to balance on something without steering, like a snowboard?

My assumption is that when you’re standing still relative to the ground you can fall in many directions, but once you start moving momentum limits the directions you can fall to the ones in line with your motion. So the faster you’re moving the fewer directions you need to worry about.

A lot of asexuals who masturbate don’t do it with a sexual mindset, it’s more like an exercise to relieve stress or get a little boost of dopamine.

It would be like asking “what do people without food fetishes think about when eating?” Idk, whatever is on their mind. They might think about how good it feels, but they could also be thinking about something totally unrelated.

Guided missiles are usually guided by laser or gps, this missile sounds like it’s more of a fly by wire remote control situation, like a fpv drone.

I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It’s funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.

“Obviously I couldn’t dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game…”

It’s sort of like The Button thought experiment.

Like a reverse Enders Game, where the fighters believe they’re fighting a war but it’s actually a simulation. I think there was a Star Trek episode about that, A Taste of Armageddon.

I’m not sure that fire-with-fire strategy is the most effective. At least historically it seems to have mixed results. I think going after their economy makes the most sense: sanctions, refinery attacks, sabotage; hit them in the wallet, break their capacity to continue the carnage.

I don’t really want us to get any further into the murder-drone business than we already are, but it does seem to be the way conflicts are going.

Maybe war could just become entirely drones, so instead of people dying it could be a giant game of BattleBots.

The problem with billionaires dying is that inheritance is taxed less than any other transfer of wealth, so their money just moves to someone else. It’s like a cursed spirit seeking a new host. We gotta exorcism their money away.

The power of Marx compels you!

You don’t think she faced an imminent need of self defense in the house of the man who abused and trafficked her? We don’t know the details, but that seems like a pretty threatening situation to me. We can say that she put herself in that situation, but so did Rittenhouse.

Well, not 100%, Rittenhouse didn’t face a day of jail time. Though I guess he killed two people instead of burning a house down.

Well your taxes are usually automatically deducted from your salary, but taxes on tips have to be accounted for by the worker. If you’re only paid $2.13 an hour it’s easy for tips to make up the bulk of your pay, leading to a big debt on tax day if you haven’t property accounted for how much to withhold yourself.

Kamala also wants to remove subminimum wage for that reason. But removing tax on tips does reduce the burden on tipped workers to keep records of every tip they collect.

IMO we should get rid of subminimum wage, raise the federal minimum to $15/hr, and let workers keep their tips if people still feel like tipping; it works great in Washington State.

The biggest difference between Trump and Harris’s tax free tips is that Harris wants to limit it to service and hospitality workers.

But it just might be a lunatic that seat is for.

They usually only use the horn at crossings. Automated trains are grade separated. The SkyTrain rolls through Vancouver all night and you can hardly hear it.

Trains are way easier to make self driving too, we’ve had autonomous trains since the 60s.

Ignoring the fact there’s no sales tax on many of the largest expenses (food, rent, healthcare), $14.70 + 10.4% (the highest sales tax in WA) is still lower than the lowest minimum wage in Washington, and in rural Oregon counties the minimum is only $13.70.

You call that a living wage? In Washington the minimum is $16.28 statewide, including tipped labor, and it’s $19.97 in Seattle.

What’s wild to me is that the cost of a meal is the same as in places like Pennsylvania where a waiter can be paid as little as $2.83/hr.

Almost like the cost is set by the market, and the owners will cut wages as low as they’re allowed to simply to take more for themselves.

He’s certainly a clown.
