Idaho, the South of the North. I now live in Washington, where that kind of shit doesn’t fly.

No, you’re fine! I didn’t specify. I lived with it for so long, it didn’t even occur to me to outline the process.
We had to fix it or arrange to have it fixed, then the landlord would verify it was fixed to their satisfaction. The landlord was otherwise hands off until it exceeded the cost limit. This was the norm for the area.
They provide maintenance free housing…
Keep in mind this isn’t always the case. Landlords where I used to live are increasingly requiring tenants to pay for some maintenance costs. A past landlord had us pay for anything $300 or less.
I also use Nova Launcher and had no idea you could do that! Thanks for letting me know.
I keep all my Google icons quarantined in one folder. Case in point:

That’s over 2.5 liters. That can’t be right.
Edit: I hope that’s not right. Ouch.
That’s the one. We actually still use floppy disks in my industry.
I highly recommend mice with additional programmable keys, speech recognition, and programmable foot pedals. I use all three at work and they’re great for splitting the workload across different body parts.
Thank you for clearing this up. I work in semi and I can’t count how many times I’ve had to clarify how CHIPS Act and similar funding works.
Put bluntly, most of the logic in the argument I’m replying to sounds good but doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. It presents two false dichotomies as explanation for issues with capitalism. Hence the first paragraph, explaining why those associations are false.
Then I address Norway in the second paragraph, which is given as an example of “good capitalism”.
What I am reading from your comment is: Norway is not perfect, therefor the argument you were replying to is invalid or diminished. Might not be what you intended, but that’s what it reads like
I’m not sure how you’re getting that. I asked my coworker to give it a read without explaining my thesis and they don’t see it either. You don’t explain why, so I’m at a loss.
I don’t think oppression of the global south is a valid criticism of Norway.
Why not? You again don’t explain why, so again I’m unsure what you intend beyond “your writing sucks and you’re wrong”. Give me some substance I can actually respond to!
Dare I say it: you two are possibly both correct. Human behavior is complex and multifactorial. More than one or two drivers can influence behavior.
Capitalism and being an oligarchy are neither mutually exclusive nor mutually inclusive, nor is the presence or absence of competition neither mutually inclusive or exclusive of oppression of others for gain. One could argue, though, that capitalism tends to eventually lead to oligarchies and, as the graphic suggests, oppression for gain as these are both strategies to maximize gain and the capitalist operator with the most gain can use that gain to further increase future gain, and so on. This can lead to the systematic selection for oligarchic, oppressive capitalists.
Norway is rich, like many other countries, due to its economic oppression of the global South. While its distribution of that wealth is more equitable than the United States, it still relies on the same system of oppression to accrue disproportionate wealth.
Yowza, getting banned for that is ridiculous.
Uhhh… Wait a minute. You got banned over the comment about Turkey potentially coming to Palestine’s aid?
I’m solidly a millennial and I think it’s hilarious. I also enjoy Smiling Friends so maybe I just like bizarre humor.
As someone with dysfunctional hands, assuming you’re not kidding, speech recognition and eye/head tracking has come a long way. Unless your creative project is detailed art. It hasn’t come that far.
I was taught the same. I got extra credit for memorizing that the Nile River was a “notable exception”.
While I didn’t go to school in Texas, our school district used material developed there. It figures.
