What I’m proposing you wouldn’t lose the 300k because you still have your house and you’ll get the 300k back over time. And yes taxes don’t come out of thin air, but the whole system needs plenty of overhauling.

Just being yourself is important for 1&2 (and an actual relationship), too many people out here trying to force interactions just because they pass someone physically attractive.

Everyone now owns wherever they are living. Current owner residents get reimbursed via taxes for their current equity over a period of time. People and government win, corporations take losses on investments and probably come out ahead anyway.

Obviously an oversimplified idea, but I think we should be asking “How can we make this happen?” more often than dismissing outright.

I don’t work in tech but literally just put stickers and opensuse on a refurbished Thinkpad I bought a few days ago 🫡

I usually get people asking for my number or socials when they’re interested, asking out tends to happen over electronic communication after that.

My process is basically

1. Casual conversation- if you don’t hit it off naturally here, let it go.
2. Reciprocal flirting
3. Exchange contact info
4. Develop friendship
5. Ask out directly
6. ???
7. Go back to 1

I also get told I’m very attractive in various verbage near daily so 🤷‍♀️

Idk, just be respectful and don’t be pushy if they’re trying to let you down (and pay attention for if they’re trying to do it gently)

Pot Roast

• beef/pork roast preferred
• potatoes
• carrots
• celery
• onion
• radish
• seasoning packet/stock & seasonings

I rarely have all of the ingredients, and proportions depend on what’s on hand.

I could probably just say assorted root vegetables as one ingredient honestly.

One of my favorite bits in that story is that rib is a mistranslation of baculum.

Or in a resource based economy, production would be decided by the needs of the community at various scales and not driven by sales or profits.

I think the ideal is a system that provides UBI, Nutritious food distribution, needs based housing, universal healthcare, and job services that provide aptitude testing, training and placement.

If 30% can meet our needs, the other 70% should be sufficient to provide the system and framework and enough left over for consumption, luxury and still have room for meritocracy advancement.

What’s the current wealth distribution? 10% holding 85% leaving the rest of us 15% only half of the 30 we need.

Food being wasted instead of given out. Clothing slashed and tossed away. Housing boarded up and left vacant in the name of investing.

All in the name of maximizing sales and profit. Resources hoarded and wasted.

30% of the worlds resources would be sufficient to meet everyone’s needs if properly distributed.

But it’s not because corporations see a homeless man taking a sandwich out of the trash as a lost sale.

We don’t have a resource problem, we have a distribution problem.

Resources are constantly being wasted to accelerate the wealth transfer up the chain.
