Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@layxsnv Before ChatGPT, everyone would say C One day AI decided that a comma goes before “and” which has now changed perception. It’s also one of the key giveaways that someone has used AI to write their text because the majority simply never did it. It’s a new phenomena

Have we seriously gone from “toxic masculinity” to “toxic paternity”? My husband got baby fever before I did. He’s the reason our family started when it did. He wants to “fill up our minivan” (only one seat left 😅), and watching him fawn over our newborn makes my heart so full. Men absolutely have paternal instincts and denying this only serves to further alienate them. How about women stop policing men’s motivations and emotions and just let men be men for once?? Leave the men alone.

Funny how all the Liberal shills are all coming out at the same time saying PP is stupid for not wanting high speed rail. There's no business case for this. There really isn't that much business people traffic between say, montreal & toronto or montreal & quebec city. Freight yes, but people for business? No. 1.4 Trillion in debt. 80 billion this year alone. But we don't have a coast to coast pipeline. These retards (a) don't know how to count and (b) have no sense of priorities. Since the Ukraine war started, the europeans have literally been begging us for LNG and Petrol. The US is taking ours instead and selling it to them at a profit while we sell our heavy crude to them at a discount. Absolute insanity. How do we even pay for this?

Just remember, they intentionally released bio-engineered tics in lyme so that you could never enjoy the outside or hunt deer meat. the us govt intentionally released this on americans to make you more compliant

Ah man, I'm going to regret typing all of this, but it literally does. Firms already sell goods or services at different price points for different demographics. This is what seniors or student discounts are. The purpose of the discount is -- in economic terms -- to capture a segment of the demand curve that the firm would not capture without the discount. Certain students and seniors are on fixed incomes and will buy a *widget* if it is at a lower price point, but not otherwise. The firm doesn't want to lower the price for everyone, however, as that would lead to lower overall profit. Inversely, firms will also mark-up products for those that are most dedicated to buying them. This is why hardcover books exist and are released before softcover copies. Hardcover books are considerably more expensive to buy than softcover books, but only marginally more expensive to produce. The publisher is capturing a small segment of the demand curve at a higher price point than they would if they only released the softcover version. These are the people that want the book the most and will pay more to have it. Algorithmic pricing is these simple economic functions at scale. It allows firms to capture segments of the demand curve they would not if they only used a common price point. It literally enables poorer people to pay less for goods and services.

@soyakais demisexuality is a label under the asexual umbrella denoting people who feel little to no sexual attraction unless they already have a strong emotional connection with the subject. this therefore excludes hookups, celebrity crushes, and attraction to acquaintances and strangers
