Why, when it takes like a second to just fix it and I don't even know who made it?

I'm sure they thought it was finalized when they put it out.

If pdfs weren't supposed to be edited, they shouldn't have mistakes that require editing.

Don't you mean "fuck immigrants and gay rights" from both candidates?

As far as I know, my sperm donor doesn't have a huge family. All it takes is your one sibling to take a genetics test to no longer be an anonymous sperm donor. Same applies here. It just takes one.

Makes sense if they were caught, the system would bring a case against them. But given the facts of the case, a reasonable jury should find them not guilty.

Boss gifted me lotion once. Was kinda amusing in that it sorta was an insult, but like I sometimes bleed from how bad my skin sometimes gets so it's not like it's some secret. I think she also apologized in case it was weird.

Mine offered to pay me half the rate of my non-management work. But I did get a decent raise for my non-management work from the promotion.

There's always the grey market for getting raws. Of course most individuals probably don't have access to the tools and knowledge to verify purity and going from raws to safe and accurately dosed medicine is another problem. But many people were already going that route anyways before this.

Like the math kind or the chemistry kind?

It's not choosing inflation. As pointed out, it could actually be deflationary depending how how the money is printed. Funding services and taxing the wealthy are two separate issues. Taxes have nothing to do with funding services and are only used as an excuse to not have universal health care or to much on climate change, both of which could be deflationary if funded by just printing money and doing nothing is inflationary.

Of course I also don't think billionaires should exist because they are separately harmful and only are possibly with exploitation. So I don't particularly have a problem with using taxes as a weapon to combat that symptom of the exploitive system, but it's like using paracetamol to treat an infection - its just treating the symptoms, which might be important to not die immediately and to be able to recover, but ideally you also treat the infection directly and then form antibodies to prevent future infections or have other external chances to reduce infectivity. So I'm not opposing taxes, but generally they are a distraction from other issues and meant to bore people by forcing advocates of such policies to waste time talking about boring specific tax policies rather than building a narrative about a better tomorrow.

 

This projection distorts both area and direction, but preserves Melbourne.
