The ones who went to hell might appreciate the extra water.

Spiders work fast. They rebuild webs in a matter of hours. It's not a realistic demand.

Though at the time the amount they wanted was not worth the grief so I just moved on. But minor deposit frauds are extremely common and almost always unpunished. Landlords have essentially nothing to lose by trying it, certainly not morals.

There are many arguments to be made here but this isn't one. The money can have conditions attached to it. For example, give an amount now and agree to some target being reached within 6 months and so on.

No surprise there. Most social programs are very productive with good returns.

It's just much more efficient to teach and reward than let it get bad and punish. Jails, for example, are super expensive. An inmate not only produces nothing, but also costs 10s of thousands of dollars. Over here, that averaged £50k a year per inmate when the average income was close to half that.

Which is why I laugh at the recent migrant boat bs where the government is spending a similar amount of money instead of putting people through skillup programs and such.

How many people eat food because they know they need it vs because they just want it. I think chronic boredom is like that but worse and far more subtle. It amplifies a lot of our other issues, such as adhd and obesity.

And I don't think you need to be bored to enjoy good entertainment. Not to mention the industry runs on greed mostly. It would be in their interest that people didn't find the problem as that could lead to people finding a cure. How would e.g. Netflix keep profiting from producing such poor content? How about those who profit so much from feeding ads to our brain dead states?

I just wish they'd take me on a date first.

I would ask about their favourite project for that company. You can gain so much insight from this. Do they look happy when talking about it? Passionate? Overcoming challenges or being defeated? And much more.

There are certainly some of us who don't deserve the air we breath but to say we all deserve to die includes a lot of good people.
