Nice! I've yet to play BitD but it looks super cool. I'm down to play if we can make schedules work!

I'm interested. What game are you thinking?

In Thailand I paid 20x the amount of a citizen to enter a national park. Camping was free for citizens, but cost money for foreigners (I forget how much).

A resident hunting license in California costs $62.90 and non-resident is $219.81.

In Washington state a non-resident elk tag costs 10x what a resident pays.

In all cases, it's pretty similar.

Other countries already charge a premium for foreigners to visit their national parks. This is not new. People who live outside the country (whatever country) do not support park infrastructure with taxes and therefore should pay a premium to enter.

This is no different than a non-resident hunting or fishing license.

" "In a world full of noise, hear the love choir sing/Together in unity, we're reclaiming our wings," the singer croons. "So sign a petition/come join the fight/let's axe the taxes/bring wrongs to the right."

The song, "Uplift the Dream," is one of 20 tracks on an AI-generated album specifically designed to rally support for eliminating Ohio's property taxes. "

You are absolutely correct

Nutsack is preferable.

When I was a server I hated when people stacked their own plates. First off, I found it performative. Secondly it messed with my system. Thirdly it usually produced a 20lb pile of dishes covered in queso, half eaten burritos, and guacamole that was impossible to carry.

Go Ruck has a lifetime guarantee on all of their apparel. I've got a pair of their pants that have held up to general abuse. I don't have their shorts, but that might be something worth looking into.

You gotta hate money to buy their stuff, though. It's pretty pricey.

"Peters said HOA lobbyists were making headway negotiating the bill and coming to a mutual agreement, but on June 27, the HOA language from SB 681 was added into AB 130 and passed three days later, leaving the HOA industry reeling. “As an industry, this came as a shock,” she said. “Everyone is scrambling to get a handle on the changes.” Peters said no one likes paying fines, but noted that fines aren’t a money-making tool for HOAs."

If it's an industry and has lobbyists, I would venture to guess that it is also a money making operation.

Like, whatever you want to do!

I play role - playing games and cook food. Next month I join a BJJ gym with all the money I'm saving.

I took up candle making as a hobby last year and I play music most days.

I just try to get better at something than I was yesterday and have fun doing it.

What now?

Corey Doctorow's podcast Understood: Who broke the internet? does an amazing job of explaining this. It's only like 5 episodes and worth everyone's time.
