Well yeah, and one of those exceptions is hundreds of dollars worth of tips that you get as part of your income.

You don't need a card reader since you can just transfer with Cash app Granted, I don't know about the UK's homeless situation but in the US this has definitely been common since I was homeless about 8 years ago

My friend, you are far out of date. Many homeless people will take digital currency, because it's harder to get robbed when your money is on the cloud.

But you do have to pay taxes for gifts over a certain threshold. In a practical sense it only ever applies to things like cars and very expensive items.

Give money to people if you feel like being generous, regardless of what you think they may or may not do with it.

The block button exists for a reason. People will definitely come at you and egg you on to argue with them and I'm like I don't give a fuck about entertaining you

Strikes and boycotts are forms of protest

So why didn't they just build the canal in the area between the Bronx and marble hill?

I use AI to help organize my thoughts. It's excellent as a brainstorming tool. I've become far more productive because of it.

Sure, there's something stopping to someone from merging these technologies into one product provided they're willing to pay for the licensing where applicable

Yes, in the same sense that electric heating led to the loss of chimney sweeps. Instead of becoming a chimney sweep, that person becomes an HVAC. Even if AI becomes the predominant way of producing content there will always be people who have to make creative decisions.

Music is the language of the soul

Most manufacturers pump in fake engine noise anyway these days. I don't see that changing with EVs.

Sodas in general make you thirstier and hungrier, which can lead to overeating. Diet sodas have artificial sweeteners many of which are linked to a host of medical problems.

Water is water. Our bodies literally evolved to drink it.

Even if you qualify it to say only the desirable land for housing, that land is still a finite resource.

At the a macro level land is a finite resource no matter what. It's a complex subject and our statements are definitely not mutually exclusive.

This would have been better with Queen Elizabeth given that she owned a gold plated Wii and regularly played Wii sports bowling on it

Housing appreciates in value because there are more people year to year but the earth doesn't make more land year to year

It could be designed in such a way that the weapons are integral. So not like you just get a full Glock 40, but probably ammunition and maybe some components which can be salvaged. Still, an awful idea to make killer robots to use on the populace. It's bad enough that cops rarely live in the neighborhoods they patrol but now they're literally showing up as a faceless machine

Because there may be some other individual whose life is in danger such as a hostage situation

Probably same as a police dog. What exactly that is I have no idea tbh

Theoretically, cops would use this instead of themselves to go up against armed criminals. In reality, it's just another weapon for them to use against all of us. "We have investigated ourselves and found it was a malfunction. The officer will go on paid leave for the stress this situation has caused."

That's impossible! Anyone who's eaten one knows the egg is flat. Round eggs are a NASA conspiracy /s

Presumably they're from a place which isn't stupid and includes taxes in the price

Wouldn't reintroducing an extinct species end up having disastrous effects as an invasive creature
