I have dysgraphia which makes writing difficult for me. I hope you can figure out what I mean despite my issues.
Because someone needs to be enslaved to provide universial health care. If even one person wants to opt out, no matter how wrong their reason you if you allow don’t allow it they are enslaved. (note that there have been many different systems of slavery, but even the best still remones choice from someone). as such I prefer other options if they exist.
There are other options and so I oppose universial health care. Do not confuse that with approving of the system we have.
The worst thing you can do is block people because of their leanings. That is how you get echo chambers. Of course many extremeists on both sides need to be blocked, just make sure you block them on your side too.
They hope to scare enough people to get a change. don’t let it work.
I’m not sure if I could get anywhere and back. Woge I own a gun and you have allowed me to get it on a plane, but that day would expire before I get home and now I have a gun that I am taking through airports and customs.
I don’t think these reach any refinery so that isn’t an option. What is best is anything that sows confusion.
The US (and other European partners) is sending BOTH ATACMS for missile launch sites, and also PATRIOT for targeting incoming missiles. Two different systems for a different purpose and Ukraine is getting both.
We know from many sources that North Korea is supplying Russia with missiles. We also know Russia is using missiles on Civilians. Do we really need any second source to connect the two?
The brutially honest personality test. Which was your standard MB test (not very useful) except it points out typical weaknesses and thus is something to watch out for. I know what I’m good at.
People don’t want to work 3rd shift - the rest of the world (your family, sports…) all work 1st shift. 2nd shift is only slightly better. It is probably better for your life to work 3rd shift for 1 week of every 3, than 3rd shift constantly - those other 2 weeks you can live semi-normal and thus have friends.
It still sucks, probably the best compromise.
One side? Both sides are doing this. The details are different, but both sides are being evil here.
In a few specific areas. None within 1000 miles of my city., the tech is promissing, but only time will tell how far it gets.
If you live where it exists then you should be asking questions. It seems like a dream answer.
Automated light metro. build the same guideways all over. Trains that hold around 50 passengers, half with corgo bikes. Cookie cutter stations that are easy to factory prefab. Stations every mile on the existing grid. Automated means you run 24x7 with frequent service.
the important part: no station is more than 10 minutes ( 20 including you bike trip) to a central station where you can transfer to any many other trains including express toethe rest of the city. The central stations must all be in a zoned high density retail area so you can do your shoping there. there will be a lot of them scattered around the metro area.
the above will be expensive. However once bilt it would be cheaper than cars.
who knows if when they will exist. if they exist they will probably work.
As soon as the armies and governments that buy most of that stuff cares the industry will too. Now money talks end everyone cares about cost more than supply chain so the low cost supply chain wins. Pay more and you can get a different supply chain.
specifc references to pun is the problem. I can accapt that mc speaks two languages. I can accept that they find a good translator as neede, and ths don’t have languare issues. However I find it hard to accept that they are speaking modern english. as soom as you make a pun it breaks the story as now I assume the modern world.
That one is worse in my mind as baring steroids men will be physically larger and stronger than women. women should have motivetions other than marry a strong man (nothing wrong with wanting a good husband, I know many young girls looking for one - but please don’t be the cardboard that is all I want)
It breaks immersion when you realize it. of course it depends on the story, if the story is in a small vilage it is fine but world travelers either need more than one language, or some in story reason everyone speaks a common language.
Everyone is speaking english. Even when the story says they is more than one language, the story is full of puns that dependion english, wsear words from english (swearing is realistict in real life but in books exceccs that shold be cut with no harm to the story)
You are a slave and should opt out of those things.
Your proble is you know what is and cannot imangine what could be.
