I don’t know about ancient duel rules

It was simply a war, and no rules.

😁

Edit: Given the previous rules that you must maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area,

It said that I get money for such a lifestyle.

But now you add that I must actually move before I even get that little money.

You definitely want to clarify your “Question”.

would you rather choose to opt out and not have the money at all?

No, I would still play that game, but maybe my way of spending would concentrate even more on those where I expect something back.

you can continue to work full time and a half

I don’t have that.

your basic ass lifestyle while not helping anyone.

I don’t have that either.

You get to keep enough to maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area

Don’t know why I must move to a cheap area… no, I would probably decide to stay here at least for half of each year. My lifestyle remains modest as well, but I would actually rebuild some parts of this old house.

the rest of it has to go towards improving the world in some way.

There’s only a small part of the world that I could actually influence so far in my life.

With the billions, I would try to expand this radius of course, but only slowly, only reluctantly, trying to stay wise. I would focus at first on the ones that are closer to me, and mitigate their needs. You did not require me to improve the whole world after all.

There’s a difference between long and longest, and I think that counts, too :)

IMHO there are a few, very few, things that Usa should forbid their own people to say.

Glorifying slavery might be one of them. But sadly they are not ready for that, yet.

Care to tell more?

Why would they make their own products illegal in Europe?

Nobody has called for Quentin yet?

Tunnels are extra dangerous. Not because of the likelihood of an accident, but because of the situation if an accident happens. It blocks the tunnels easily, fills it with smoke, and kills hundreds.

Except newly built tunnels in rich countries.

OK. Yes, then I want to get this shock :)

Mass-Produced

I want to see these masses who can pay the million :)

Never start a headline with “Anti”

People who read it wonder what the n and the t are doing there…?

thought my class to write a standard 5-paragraph essay and made all tests essay questions,

I would rather teach them to give short and precise answers LOL

Student: AI, write my thesis for me!

Prof: AI, was this thesis generated by AI?

AI: yes, of course, you poor human!

Prof: …shrug…

Problem is, they still find it OK to make somebody’s life miserable as soon as he is suspected of anything.

“Innocent until proven” has no real meaning, and I have never heard that someone got paid back for all the damage that was done to him during a false suspicion.

When a car ran over the person who walked right next to me.

For about three weeks I was having bad thoughts going round and round in my head all day long, and I was barely able to do my work.
