The stock market should not exist. Investing in companies is fine, but we shouldn't be able to buy our sell investment shares like a commodity.
All subsidies should not exist. They only alter the supply/demand in unnecessary and damaging ways. This must come with ending commodities trading like stock market investing.
Fractional measurements are better than decimal measurements for anything where the level of precision is important.
Decimal measurements can only increase our decrease in precision by a factor of 10.
For example if your precision is accurate to 1/4 of a unit, you can represent that with fractions no problem.
What is that in decimal? "0.25" implies precision to the hundredth of a unit.
What if your measurement is half a unit, but it's precise to 1/64 of a unit? Just don't reduce the fractions. "32/64ths" is more precise than .5.
The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars movie since the OT. Then they "course corrected" after listening too closely to online discourse, and ended up really ruining the franchise.
The vast majority of humans are actually nice, altruistic and not selfish if you treat them with respect. And hence anarchism would not resolve in everyone killing each other.
Here's something about American politics to provoke a lot of people, especially on this site:
Donald Trump should be elected in 2024 purely to serve as an exam to the left. Liberalism clearly doesn't work anymore, there's a lot of discontent in the world and a shift towards far-right politics, while left is almost non-existent in almost any country, it doesn't have an answer. With Donald Trump getting elected for his revenge term and demolishing democracy, hopefully it's a catastrophe strong enough for the left to wake up.
Coffee tastes bad, coke zero is great first thing in the morning, and egg nog is better without any alcohol in it.
If you actually want to do some about climate change, step 1 is to stop having kids.
My opinion is this: if you can't be bothered to use proper grammar and spelling and express yourself clearly, you should shut the fuck up.
Onions taste gross and have no tangible benefit to cooking. Fight me.
Death is fine and jail is mental torture. People with downs syndrome and similar are forced to live a tortured existence by people who think they're good for subjective them to that.
Andor was a garbage show, and The Batman (Robert Pattison) was a garbage film. Both are lauded and deserve less than none of the praise they get
