The benefit is kids with a roof over their heads instead of living in a car. It's having a private bathroom so you don't have to take a shit in the street. It's somewhere secure to put your possessions while you look for work.
It's not enough, but it's something.
We should find the middle ground where the immunocompromised die and the reactionaries still bitch about it. /s
I don't know if they have something like a community college where you live, but they are more open to older students. I went to a community college in my late 30's and I loved it. There was a couple times where people seemed annoyed at the old guy try-harding, but it was overall a positive experience.
If you already have a degree you can skip all the intro classes where you'll run into the annoying business degree kids who ruin humanities classes.
58% of Democrat senators voted for it, 39% of Democrat representatives voted for it.
This was only a year after all but one Democrat voted to give Bush a blank check with the previous AUMF. It gave him unilateral power to launch military operations around the world without oversight. It was used for 20 years to send troops to 10 different countries.
Both parties are beholden to the military industrial complex.
You can say it hasn't been hacked, but many people who have used it have been hacked. It's not just people who didn't know how to secure a computer, either. The biggest exchanges have all been hacked at one point or another and lost crypto, some of the most recognizable names in crypto have been hacked. What good is a currency that isn't safe even in the hands of experts?
Ransomware could not exist without crypto. It cost the world 159 billion in downtime in 2021 alone. This doesn't account for the amount of ransoms paid and business/personal data lost.
You hand waved away the environmental issues by putting it on the rest of the world to generate cleaner energy, but the whole problem is that there isn't enough clean energy to meet global needs. If we could stop wasting 127 terrawatts of energy on Bitcoin per year, we would be a little bit closer to that goal. The problem isn't clean energy, it's a useless currency that can only exist by a competition of wasting energy, water, and chip manufacturing capacity during a climate crisis.
It has a huge pile of problems and negative externalities and what did it all achieve? Make a bunch of VC and early adopters rich? Enable crimes that didn't exist before on a mass scale? Enable money laundering? It's a solution still in search of the problem.
Gates's philanthropy is doing harm, though. His foundation funds school choice initiatives and lobbied against COVID vaccine patent wavers for poor countries. He was also a good friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
The vast majority of sales jobs exist to manipulate people into buying something they wouldn't have otherwise bought. That's the whole purpose of the job. Otherwise it's just a pointless bullshit job where what you do doesn't matter at all. Most people who work bullshit jobs come to hate them. They feel trapped because having a job where you get paid well for doing nothing is supposed to be the dream.
I think sales tends to make you a worse human being as well. The jobs tend to create a culture where lying and manipulation are not only permitted but praised. Your coworkers will celebrate screwing people over and you'll absorb their horrid justifications for what they do.
The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread
In my experience those pizzas are designed to be cooked from frozen on a bare rack. The dough is almost fully cooked already, so thawing probably won't make the dough less dense. Cooking it on a sheet will probably make the bottom less crispy.
A lot of stores sell fresh premade pizza dough, but even a frozen dough ball makes much better pizza. If you really are pressed for time you can buy premade sauce, preshredded pizza cheese mix. Throw it together on a piece of parchment and cook that on your heavy baking sheet.
True crime communities become unhinged so quick. They get emotionally invested, posting about how sad they are, or vengeance posting about how the perpetrator should be SA'ed in prison. They start developing parasocial relationships with the people involved, posting memorial collages, etc. They overanalyze every new detail and draw connections between everything.
I used to enjoy following the Jeremy Dewitte case, the serial police impersonator who videotaped himself pretending to be a cop for years. It was fun, but the communities following the case went so hard into analyzing every little detail that they became convinced that everything was a conspiracy. A bunch of "influencers" started making channels pretending to have inside information, claiming to have sources inside the police or personally knowing cops involved in the case.
Most of the tubs I've had in america are too small for me to actually use. Both too shallow and too short. Half my body would be out of the water.
My last bath was also around 10 years ago in a hotel that had a nice deep tub.
