For popular stuff I stop seeding when I've uploaded 10x the download size. For other stuff I keep it uploading forever.

WTF, mate?

I think that it's not always just about harassment, but sometimes just wanting to be left alone?

I'm not sure why I have even one parallel cable, but I do. Surely I could just buy one online if I ever needed one. 🤔

I just spent a week in Texas in places that had plenty of people living and presumably working close together. The infrastructure is a hellscape of concrete and asphalt and monstrous pickup trucks. It has nothing to do with being a big country and everything to do with culture and policies.

My parents are American and I spent almost half of my life in the USA. Like you I have also traveled around the world. Possibly my view is skewed because I'm currently traveling around the Gulf states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) on vacation and they are super poor, but to claim that the US is better than almost anywhere in Europe is crazy to me. Japan and South Korea and New Zealand also seemed nicer. Heck, you only have to cross the border to Canada to get to a place more more rational. Every place has problems, and not every place is great for every person, but the US is far down on the list of places that I would want to live ever again.

Not necessarily.

Increases in productivity could have been split between labor and capital, giving benefits to both. (Or even better, gone just to labor, but that would not be a "both lines go up" scenario.)

Sorry that your ass-kicking little trailer was stolen. 😟

The post I was replying to literally started with the words "I don't understand".

Because they believe that a fetus is a human being, and that killing a human is murder. I find it sad that so many people cannot understand that many Christians really believe that.
