Ah, shit man.

Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his “most important connection”.[15] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work.[16] U.S. Vice President JD Vance “has cited Yarvin as an influence himself.”[17][18][19] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump’s second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin’s ideas.[20] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was “an informal guest of honor” due to his “outsize influence over the Trumpian right.”[21]

So as far as quality of life, it wouldn’t even cost them anything.

That was my point.

There are near 800 billionaires in the USA. Assuming all only have $1 billion dollars and it is all invested, applying the “4% rule” gives a sustainable $40 million each per year. With $10 million to personally spend, that gives $24 billion a year for charity and public works.

I failed to find a list of the costs to solve various issues. Homelessness could be solved in a couple years.

The numbers provided are just a starting place. Many problems are extremely expensive. Actually working to solve them would help.

In case this is helpful (to whoever)

Response Options:

• Sure is. Bob is great. Is there a problem?

• That makes sense. Who is Bob?

• Sir, this is a Wendy’s. Can I cake your order. (Only applicable if you are on shift at the Wendy’s you work at.)

With 7 billion current humans, and many more dead, it is unlikely any problem was not noticed.

Sometimes it was intentionally setup to be a bother, other times the fix takes more resources than a single person can apply.

No. Sometimes.

Beards are sometimes like that too.

Let’s talk more about the headbands. I use the cheap elastics and haven’t had an issue. Have you tried a large handkerchief?

April 15 this year? Starting April 14.

Can it be a Lemmy App, or must it be a Mastodon App?

I ask as I didn’t know the difference when I started.

Get enough sleep and take care of yourself.

Everything is easier after that.

That budgets for households, businesses, and goverments have much to do with each other

Edit: fixed typo. ‘nd’ to ‘and’.

Hose off the caustic with hot water

Wear eye protection if truly hosing. You don’t want that shit in your eye.

As others have said, but I want to make more clear, she could be dealing with shit she isn’t ready to share. (Death, Failing Grades, etc)

Reaffirm the friendship. Let them know you are there for them. Ask if they want to do something districting. Hikes, movies, or sit silently looking at the wall.
