It's as if Toyota and Samsung are adjectives just as the word "dangerous" and "mortal" can be used as an adjective.

The image of asian women in their traditional clothing hints of them gossiping. They are probably talking about some event and one of them comment "Toyota, Samsung, even" to remark the positive/negative significance of the event.

This isn't really about winning or losing (defined by what, exactly? Upvotes? Lol)

It's good argument on differing ideas.

And I only mentioned price caps because you mentioned capping houses owned. Not my intention to strawman you.

You're saying there's plenty of homes as if they are natural resources to be distributed. They aren't. Someone who spends money to build the homes and covers the costs necessary to even start building the homes need to get their return.

Even if they are natural resources to be distributed and enough houses already exists, what are you proposing? Just give the homes away?

You're paying a house and now its worth is more than double the amount you paid 17 years. Sorry, you're an idiot if you think there's a "correct" price of anything. That's the point of prices in market economy. They rise and fall depends on countless economic circumstances. I don't think your old house lives in a vacuum not affected by the economic changes surrounding your town/city or neighborhood.

If you're thinking about housing price cap, let's even stop this discussion because clearly you are not familiar about macroeconomic causes and effects.

What if it's yellow? That's what I want to find out.

Ideal reality: Google doesn't buy advantage from browsers to make their search engine the default. This way, other search engines can compete at the same level, right?

Reality: browser developers will have their income cut down because now their main source of income is dead (see recent news on Mozilla).

Usually these kinds of policies that may or may not come up out of goodwill results in unintended consequences that negatively affect others.

The winner here are the politicians.

I'm with you on this.

In this thread are people who screams monopoly, thinking they know what it means. One comment said Google is a monopoly, followed by "along with "

They're giants because they're successful and good at what they do. They're successful because people are benefiting and find values from the products they use. The moment these giants stops "exploiting" people will be when they stop bringing values to society.

They've confused economic reality with their own ideal reality.

Maybe that isn't a problem

I remember this guy! First fallout game I played, my friend introduced it to me and let me borrow his disk for the PS3.

This is probably the first boss I've fought and in my memory it'll always be an intense battle.

 

Taken on S22 Ultra.

That you pay for just 5 dollars per month.

 

This obviously isn't something new that shows up overnight. We already had dating sims and the likes. But with generative AIs, the catch is that of scale and of personalization: not only it is easier to make thousands of virtual partners at a time, each individual virtual partners can be personalized to our liking.

Not even Huxley could have predicted this lol.
