Yeah, and for the same reason prisoners should be allowed to vote too

I see what you mean, that makes sense.

You could probably sell it as an incentive thing. Rent your property, pay less property tax on it.

But I’d say the tax on rent should still be there, and be proportional to it. Since the property tax would also be dependent on the value of the property, what you say could still be true.

I’d imagine those would be separate taxes. One is a property tax because you own that property, and then if you earn money from it via short or long term rentals you pay taxes on that.

There’s a lot to unpack here. My two cents are:

• progressively higher property taxes for every additional one (probably with an upper limit)
• restrictions and heavy taxes on short term rentals
• any house that’s not a permanent short term rental (with associated taxation) and has not been the object of a long term rental for some reasonable amount of time, gets forcibly put on the rental market at a government fixed rate
• heavy fines for and seizure of properties intentionally left unoccupied to artificially inflate rents

This is not an objective opinion nor tries to be.

I absolutely used to love Ford Racing 2. Got it from a cereal box or something.

Right now, Supertuxkart

As a former picky eater, lots of foods. Most notably sushi (used to dislike all fish), and bell peppers that moved from disgusting to delicious.

Lots of music. As most kids do (or used to before streaming was a thing) I was locked in a limited set of genres, but I’ve come to appreciate songs I’d have never considered back then.

I use my “body” towel for the cheeks and toilet paper for the crack, same ad when I shower

They’re in on collecting data, like every other company

Teens acting like teens.

There are writings dating back to ancient Greece of people complaining about young people and how stupid/lazy/whatever they are compared to the previous generations.

Maybe we can drop that one already.

The hype train is absolutely dangerous.

The anticipation for HL3 would be terribly high, and so would be the expectations of millions of lovers of the franchise, making sure anything other than a perfect game would be met with lots of negative reactions.

And it’s not just about a single game either. A bad HL3 could end up tarnishing the legacy of the other titles, forever ruining what is now a beloved franchise. Remember what happened to Game of Thrones? Who would ever risk something like that happening? Or, speaking of games, look at how much goodwill Bethesda burned with the release of Starfield.

I agree the price is pretty high for what it is, but I wonder how much adding a headphone jack would actually affect it.

I bought the Fairphone 5 and yeah, I miss not having the jack and I see no reason to take it out

I heard that person actively contributed for something like 2 years, providing actually useful contributions, to gain the level of trust needed to plant that backdoor. Feels a bit too much to chalk it up to boredom.

As for the second part, that’s an interesting question. Are there lots of backdoors and we just happened to notice this one, or are backdoors very rare exactly because we’d have found them out soon like in this case?

Say you’re a dictator without saying you’re a dictator

I never got that Gameboy I wanted, but that’s OK, I’m made up for it using emulators years later.

Shuffle my entire library of course.

Satie after Lorna Shore? Of course kind sir

Well, I thought I had a little insight on the matter since I’m Italian, guess I was wrong. /s

Probably because there is a, perceived or cultivated, associations between Muslims and immigrants/people of color. And if you can’t outright punish someone based on “race” you go after the closest thing.

Based in the news I’ve read, the Russian government, and also the ones of many neighboring countries
