That’s a misbelief, most lottery winner do just fine long after winning. We just only hear about the ones who go broke because that’s report worthy.
And it’s almost impossible to go broke with winning 1 billion. Even if you are only left with “only” 500 mil after taxes, and you manage to lose 99% of that, you are still left with 5 million. Which is still enough to have a comfortable life.
Biden is an average to above average president.
It’s mostly republican lawmakers passing shitty laws in republican states that makes live for many American worse. DeSantis is the one fucking up Florida. Gregg Abott and Ted Cruz are fucking up Texas. Biden has very little influence on that.
And Biden is fighting the terrible decisions from the previous Trump administration. Were many shitty things are only now starting to show their full efect. Like the increase in higher income tax for lower brackets. Or deregulating coal mining operations that were in place to protect rivers, or defunding the women’s health budget. Most of these things take time for the average person to feel the impact. And Biden is actively trying to reverse some of them. He recently signed a new bill that gurantees funding for women’s health research. Biden rejoined the Paris agreement (which Trump left), with the goal of reducing emissions and combating climate change. And a lot more. But just as with the negative efects taking time to be felt, so does reversing them.
Biden for some reason just isn’t liked by many Americans. It has little to do with his policies or (in)actions as a president. People like to bring up the geonicde for why they don’t like him. But many of the same people have been critizing him before the situation in Israel even started.
would be like if someone an ethincally Asian UK citizen won miss UK and then got accused of pushing an Eastern standard of beauty in an ethnically Anglo-Celtic-etc nation.
I mean that is happening all the time. Especially if the winner is black. So the controversy isn’t new. It’s still racist and stupid.
Except there are raw ground meat dishes. Beef tartare is raw ground beef and the Mettbrötchen is raw ground pork. So it certainly can be consumed safely.
The USDA guidelines for food safety are extremely conservative when it comes to spoiling. On one hand it makes sense because we don’t want businesses to gamble with their customers health for higher profits. But it also means people are quick to dismiss them because so many of the guidelines are broken daily without incident.
You could start as a ranch hand, especially if you know how to ride. You can work on both a regular ranch or on a “resort ranch” that focuses on tourism. You just have to find a ranch that has around that 20ish employees.
But then it would fit all of your points. You are spending your whole day with the same group of people.
Drifting between groups will depend a bit on your exact duties but no matter what you are going to get to know everyone and work with others occasionally.
New things are constantly coming up to do. Your duties also change with the season. And even if there is “nothing” to do you will still hang out with the other farm hands.
You have that authority over you in form of the ranch manager/owner.
Pay isn’t great but it might come with free lodging, then it isn’t that bad.
It’s not a legitimate competition, that’s the entirely point. The claim is AI models rely on stealing content and changing it slightly or not all. And if a “regular” journalist does this, they would get into trouble. Just because the entity switches to an AI company doesn’t make this business model legitimate.
A few years ago there was a big plagiarism scandal on IGN because one of their “journalists” mostly took reviews of other people, changed a few words, and published it. Obviously that’s not fine.
Started playing yesterday, I can agree. I just need to get used to playing slower. It’s so easy to put it on speed three and then suddenly I am falling behind and can’t deal with the issues anymore.
That depends a lot on the exact prison. Because many prisons don’t follow guidelines and provide less food than they are supposed to.
In theory, inmates are supposed to get between 2,400-2,700 calories a day. The actual amount might be closer to 2,000 or even below that. For a small person that might be enough to sustain themselves but bigger people will lose weight.
Unless a prisoner has money. Then they can use the commissary store to buy additional food and eat as much as they can afford.
And that’s for the entire western world. Some countries are better at enforcing guidelines than others but every country has a few prisons that are run terrible.
It should be common knowledge that you can’t just bring prescribed medication into a foreign country. There is even plenty of OTC medication you can’t bring into some countries.
Heck, in many places you can’t even bring fruits, meat, or dairy. Not doing your due diligence before traveling is on the person traveling.
I don’t think she deserves to be in prison for that and I would assume if relations with Russia at the time were better she would have just been denied entry/fined.
But breaking the law is still entirely on her and returning such a high profile prisoner in exchange for her mistake stings.
Yes, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hades, and Hestia are the children of Kronos and are the ones that killed him .
Your calculations to get 100% are right but you are off for the 50% and. You are only considering one specific outcome. But it doesn’t matter if the first question is wrong or the second so the chance is 0.250.75+0.750.25 which is 37.5 or double your answer. We can double check it by looking at it from the other direction.
The chance of failure is 0.75*0.75= 56.25%.
So there is a 43.75% of passing the first go around. Split between a 6.25% to get 100 and 37.5% to get 50.
Same mistake for the second calculations. 44.22% is the chance to get 50%
That’s a fair point. But many of us are also tired in the afternoon or in the morning and we still do stuff.
I get not doing something because you have no motivation but if the motivation is there, take advantage of it.
You could still mop the place. Or at the very least sweep it. Or do all other cleaning tasks that don’t involve the vacuum.
As I said elsewhere, I get it if you have no motivation. If you don’t feel like doing something, it’s hard to get started. But if are motivated it’s better to do something than nothing.
Kids being able to openly participate on porn sites would be a feast for pedophiles and groomers. We already have enough trouble with that on social media and dating sites/apps. And while in an ideal situation there just wouldn’t be bad people, sometimes we need to protect people from themselves because of others.
So while I am open for a discussion about lowering the age requirement, I still firmly believe a minimum age is required. But whether that’s 14, 16, or 18 I don’t know.
I know it’s a meme but I don’t understand why people don’t just use night motivation at night. Nowadays there is only a very limited amount of activities that can’t be done at night.
I am in favor of stricter age verification for certain content. Not only for porn but also dating apps, social media, online shops, etc. But the current methods of age verification are a privacy nightmare and go well beyond what is reasonable. Especially since companies can’t be trusted to not do bad stuff with that information.
What is necessary is a double anonymity age verification service. Ideally run by a company that by law is required to be very transparent. That way we don’t have to provide personal information to companies that have no actual need for it but can still reduce the amount of minors getting into places they shouldn’t be.
Yes, it won’t be perfect, yes there will always be bad actors, but it will still do more good than harm.
I personally am open for a discussion about reducing the minimum age to view porn. I don’t have strong feelings either way.
Don’t read to much into it. This is a pure publicity stunt to slow down the rate of people leaving the church. But they don’t change at their core. In a few years from now we will find out about all the abuse and dirty businesses going on right now that the Pope and the rest of the Catholic Church is sweeping under the rug as we speak.
They have done similar publicity stunts before. Pope Francis was preaching tolerance and acceptance of homosexuality as far back as 2013. Did things really improve since then?
I see it the same way as Nestle announcing some kind of charity or “commiting” to some kind of sustainability. Yeah sure it does some good but they only do it to hide all the bad stuff.
I almost exclusively use wired headphones. Only time I use the Bluetooth is when going the gym.
I don’t feel like the cable is inconvenient at all. But there are advantages in the two things I care. Better audio quality and no battery to worry about. So I prefer the wired one and use my headphone jack almost daily.

Your assumption of what the graph displays is wrong. Yes, it lacks a lot of information and the post could have clarified more.
But at the bottom of the graph you can see that the x-axis is years. Which is a strong indication that this graph displays the life expectancy of latin american countries. Whicha quick goolge seems to confirm. And it shows that El Salvador ranks poorly even amongst them. Since most migrants move to a country for a better life, the pool of countries that El Salvador can pull from is rather small.
But that obviously misses the point that many people who would move to El Salvador on using this opportunity either move there to help improve the situation for the average person. Or at the very least would have enough money to afford a better lfiestyle and not be affected by the average life expectancy. Which obviously is going to be low for a country that suffers from poverty and gang violence as El Salvador does.
So the “general” assumption of migrants moving to a “better” countries doesn’t quite apply here.
