Yes I would also love a new calendar. But we can hardly come to consensus on getting rid of daylight savings time let alone a new calendar lol.

I don’t see why it sucks, it just makes sense to start it on the winter solstice as the days start to get longer and longer / shorter and shorter depending on the hemisphere you are in

I wouldn’t mind 6 days on 4 days off

Eh fuck religions, they can keep their old antiquated calenders.

I would like this calender but we would need to adjust it so that new years falls on the winter solstice.

Plus the 5 leap days would need to be a global celebration / holiday period, and the 6th day every 4 years a massive holiday.

I wouldn’t mind a 10 day week if it meant work 6 and then get a 4 day weekend.

But who am I kidding our corporate overlords would expect at least 8 on and 2 off

Land of the free, bitches

I can’t even trust that I will have a pension when my time comes around.

If you have medical records, do they keep a DNA record of you?

If you don’t keep a record of yourself and don’t have any ID on yourself when you call, if you don’t give a name can they match your DNA or something?

Think of it this way, new game.

First month you get $0.01, the second month you get $0.02, the third month you get $0.04…

Keep doubling that for each month you stay in this room, to a maximum of $1.5 Trillion after 4 years.

Each successive month has a 1% chance of resetting the clock.

How many months do you stay?

Don’t forget drawing on the walls with your shit

I’m not saying getting rid of local representation is the solution, necessarily. In fact, I personally think the opposite is true and we need more local representation.

It’s just with the current system, local representation is kind of useless and supports gerrymandering and corruption.

If I were in charge I would demand political parties to disperse completely and local representatives be the only people on the ballot to go ahead and make decisions for the people who voted for them. Vote for the person not the party.

When everyone votes along party lines, why does it matter if you have local representation ? Barely any of them actually vote how they think their constituents would want them to vote, they vote however the sorry tells them to vote.

South Africa has ~64 million people

Which is less than… Britain (~69 million)

Which is less area on the displayed map than the red section.

I wonder if you could make a 1m thick foundation of this stuff beneath each house which works as a sort of battery for the house in case power goes out.

They aren’t affordable because every contractor out there is being paid by investment firms to build glass steel and marble condos that can be rented out for $4000 a month instead of drywall, wood and laminate ones that can be rented out for $2000.

All of the existing drywall, wood, and laminate ones built 30 years ago are falling apart and no new ones are being built

Starter homes do not exist anymore because no one builds them. Only luxury homes for the boomers to downsize to and pocket their fortunes as they move out of the big city.

Hey, he knows he doesn’t like tomatoes. That random liquid could be delicious. You never know until you try it.

Just scoop it out into the trash. Might be compostable?

Some people actually put it into the fridge and use it to cook later, depending on the source like bacon fat or something.

I mean, we can very extremely petty when slighted.
