It takes a LOT of work to "earn a living off your looks"

Ignoring the time spent setting up shoots, editing, engagement, etc, and focusing just on "looks", you have to spend a lot of time on working out, make up, shaving, putting together outfits, etc.

If you think that looking good is something that doesn't take any hard work, it's because you've never tried to put in that work yourself.

actively trading is a great way to lose money. You're gambling against the house, and you will lose. Put money in mutual funds and leave it there if you want to invest, go put your money on black or red if you wanna gamble

NFTs are such a banal, dystopic form of late stage capitalism

Paragraph 1 shall not apply if the decision: is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller; is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If you send abusive texts through Twilio, Twilio could lose it's contracts with carriers. I haven't read through the paperwork Twilio makes you sign, but I'm gonna guess the fact that this could happen is in there. Also it sounds like the account wasn't banned, it's ability to send messages was suspended. Because it was being used to send spam text messages. I'm pretty thankful Twilio has automated systems for that

I'm real curious in the details behind their $1 purchase of this asset that turned out to be worth billions. Smells shady to me.

Sounds like we should tax people enough that they can't get "private jet rich", in order to disincentivize those harmful behaviors.

Nobody should have the power that having a billion dollars gives you

You don't get the same withdrawal, and your anecdotes do not indicate that it causes any kind of withdrawal, just that some people find nature/amusement parks more enjoyable stoned.

Do you think that companies pay based on productivity, or based on the minimum amount they need to pay in order to attract workers?

If the former, do you believe that if a remote worker moves from NYC to Idaho, and their employer cuts their pay by 25%, it is because their productivity has dropped by 25%? Or because their employer knows they can get away with paying them less in an area with lower cost of living / less high paying jobs?

It isn't over though. People want it to be over, people are acting like it's over, and cases are rising rapidly. Wanting something to be true doesn't make it true.

No, they do, we just decided to ignore that they do so parents could send their kids back to school https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/08/health/long-covid-kids.ht...

each company doesn't get it's own quota. There is one quota, and companies bid to buy parts of it; higher demand, higher prices.

The feelings are valid - all feelings are valid.

The reactions to those feelings ARE harmful to children, disabled people, and (yes) the unvaccinated. Even if you don't care about the last group, the first two groups don't deserve to get long COVID, or die, because you had a hard feel about having to wear something over your mouth.

If the issue is second homes, we could greatly increase taxes on residential property past a single home.

Your unsourced colloquialisms is a pretty tone deaf response to this comment, but I guess you're demonstrating their point, good job

Do you actually know anyone like this, or are you basing this off of what cable news personalities say?

I know plenty of people with no cable, no Internet other than their phone, living paycheck to paycheck... This idea that poor people just need to stop wasting their money is propaganda used to justify starvation wages

Maybe companies will finally start hiring new developers, instead of starting each of their positions at 2+ years of experience?

Most US cities have a policy of buying homeless people one way tickets to another city, and if they do provide homeless shelters, they are often full, underfunded, and have issues that make using them difficult
