The price remained unchanged for about a year before that. My wife is the one told me about the drink when she was working at Starbucks. I'd say it is a combo of situations causing the prices to go up.
Or, which has been proven time and again, maybe it's corporate greed.

For the people saying they won't reach retirement age and so there is no point to save for retirement, what happens if you do make it to retirement age?

Like, as small of a chance you think it is, what if you beat the odds and do actually make it to retirement with no retirement savings? What do you anticipate will happen?

This is more of a curiosity thing, as I am sure there must be retirees alive today who had the same sentiment when they were younger and I also wonder what has resulted of them.
Oh I'm still putting money in 401k, I'm just assuming I'll never get to see it.

The latter half is correct, but also those countries tend to have great public transport infrastructure. Germany is infamous for it's public transport system and as a result fewer people have cars and just take public transport when they go out drinking.

The U.S., in contrast, was designed with a spread out system which encourages individual vehicle ownership, leading to poor decision processes such as people not wanting to take a cab home and a cab back to the bar the next day to pick up their car, so they feel the risk is acceptable. That situation has been helped with the advent of Uber & Lyft so it's definitely better now than it was before those companies existed.
Oh for sure. I've been to several large European cities and been able to get around without ever touching a car. The idea of even trying to drive in London stresses me out. But even in places like Scotland where those things don't exist outside of the major cities the the penalties are much harsher than the US and it's simply not as much of a problem there.

Per the Scottish Government's website:
Drink driving is a criminal offence with serious penalties: you'll get a minimum 12-month driving ban. you could go to prison for up to 6 months or get a fine of up to 5000 - or both. the offence stays on your licence for 11 years.
It also says you could lose your vehicle. Not sure what that means, like can the Gov seize your vehicle permanently?

Hes panicking. He knows once the current war is over hes done for.
Unless he simply refuses to allow himself to be held accountable. If the military backs him seizing power permanently then who is going to do anything to him? Laws and norms don't enforce themselves by merit of simply existing.

If I remember correctly, it's 21 because of the number of fatal DUI wrecks with drinkers between 18 and 21 are ridiculously high.
Which is mostly a cultural thing, because plenty of other countries have drinking ages of younger than 21 with no problems. There is just something deeply fucked and poisonous in our Society.

There are parts of the homeless population where just giving them a house is a perfectly valid way to end their homelessness, but those are generally not the kind of people who live permanently out on the streets. The section of the homeless population that is the most visible are the kind where just offering them a house isn't going to end things for them.
True, but we also have the resources to help them as well. We chose instead to fund massive police forces that exist solely to be the boot on the neck of the working class.

I like that "sleepy Joe" needs a teleprompter, shakes hands with invisible people, stumbles with his words AND still orchestrates massive electoral fraud that has never been proven beyond "irregularities."

That is one confusing individual... can't even decide if he's dementia-ridden, or mega-conniving on any given day.

Point 8 of Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism points this out.

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak". On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

It's hard to say what exactly can even be done. The portion of the homeless population that makes active camps is going to likely be the kind that need more help than we can reasonably give. If we could promise fair care under forced institutionalization, that could help, but it's doubtful we have a system in place where they'd be treated well.
Reasonably give? My dude, we have more than enough money and resources to help all of these people. It's cheaper to house them than it is to police them but since our society is build on cruelty we don't. Not to mention if we can incarcerate them then the private prison sector gets paid.

I hate how many crossovers and stuff they're doing in this game now.
This. I played super competitively from m10 till Shadows over Innistrad. If I hadn't quit back then I'd probably have quit around they time they started all of these crossovers.

Make of that as you will.
Like any other game that creates a core fanbase that tend to be socially introverted or inept, MTG has a bunch of Nazis, and Nazi adjacent weirdos. Not as bad as say, Warhammer 40k, but they are there. The store I played FNM at for years had pretty much ran them all off.

Average Americans: The homeless? Cant stand 'em. They need to disappear from my view.

Advocates of the Unhoused : Understood, you dont want to see them. What if we provide affordable housing, even free for those who need it? That should address your concern, right?

Conservative Citizens: Absolutely not! They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!

SOME Liberal Residents: Im all for helping the homeless, as long as its not happening in my Backyard.

Advocates of the Unhoused: What the hell.
Me: Arm the homeless so people, especially the cops, are afraid to fuck with them like this.

To the point that both franchises are petty much in a constant state of damage control
No. Trek is in probably in the best place it's been since DS9. The 1st season of Discovery is rough but after that each season has gotten progressively better. Strange New Worlds is absolutely phenomenal.

New Star Wars is hit or miss. Everything tied to the Clone Wars series is good, Rebels was good, the first season of Mandalorian was great. Andor was awesome. Everything else is meh.

The alien franchise has been a dumpster fire for longer than it's been good and I think at this point people are done giving it second chances. A new alien movie should probably get as much hype and attention as any other never-ending horror franchise.
This. I've been angry at the franchise since Alien 3. Not because it wasn't a good movie, it was. I just preferred the direction the comics took the story as opposed to the route Alien 3 and then Resurrection took. Though I will say Ron Perlman was fucking great in Resurrection.

I don't know what this means?

If Isreal is commiting war crimes (I've heard about the destroyed aid convoy before), they will be taken to court and punished for it. If and when they are found guilty in a court of law for war crimes, then they will be found guilty of war crimes. Have they been found guilty in a court of law over such crimes? If so, who would deny it? Why would they deny it?

I hate to sound like a broken record but again, it's not all that complicated.

I've literally said multiple times that I've read articles/watched interviews by multiple people on multiple sides of the debate/war/whatever, have seen many people on opposing sides stating their views (legal and otherwise), and came to the conclusion that - I do not know enough about international war crimes/law to make an informed opinion, and thus will wait for the court to make a ruling on it.

I could literally not be anymore transparent than that. It's all of you who have made up some pretend, invisible boogyman in my posts to attack here.

Yeah I think that's there to just show the disdain the employees have for the people under their care. It doesn't add anything other to demonstrate Sarah's self control.

That kind of violence is why you don't go to a protest of that type without a weapon. I don't care if it's just a fucking rock or a long stick. The cops will not protect you, they want the violence the counter protestors bring, so the only thing that can do is be prepared to fuck someone up if they start it.

Because the system that would allow us to get rid of him is broken and results in the deaths of innocents.

I understand that people think some individuals deserve to be executed. I frequently here about executions and hardly lose sleep over them, because it was very well established that they were a bad, unredeemable person. But the instrument that allows for executions to take place is broken. It kills innocent people. And that system can never be fixed. There will never be a system put in play that can ethically guarantee that only the guilty are executed. And as long as there is a non-zero chance that an innocent can be murdered by the government, I cannot be in favor.
Oh I absolutely agree on this aspect. Our system is fucked. I speaking more in the academic sense here. No one should be executed while there is even a slight question of innocence. Which is why it should be reserved for those like McVeigh, Dylan Roof, James Holmes, and their ilk.

I find it impossible to take perjury seriously in the context of a Republican fishing expedition where questions were asked that never should have been asked, and that was my feeling back then as well.

The most I will concede is that "fuck off" would have been a better response by Bill Clinton to the fishing expedition than lying.
This. The investigation was originally meant to be into shady real estate dealings. The GOP had such a hate boner for Clinton though that Starr's position allowed him to basically investigate whatever he wanted.

Which also why the GOP hamstrung Mueller and limited his powe and scope. If he had the power Starr had, Trump would absolutely have been hit with a dozen or so obstruction charges.
