This is absolutely hilarious, no matter what I say you will still reply.

Not only do you think central banks are not just a part of but one of the defining features of a classless, stateless, moneyless society, they're the key indicator that a state is communist! Add to that that you confuse different people replying to you with each other (or assume everyone is the same person) and you get this wonderfully entertaining mix.

Tell me, what else have you done deep research on? Next you're going to tell everyone that the earth is flat or something aren't you.

I don't think you know what communism is, but you're not going to listen to anyone that explains it are you?

By all means, go get scammed with crypto. Meanwhile the rest of us are living in the real world where not a single developed western nation is a communist state.

This is exactly my experience as well. It doesn't help that my peripherals are purchased based on if they work with windows so half the functionality is missing on linux, and I'm not about to go buy new ones.

That and fixing any issue can be such a frustrating experience because when you search you end up with fixes for every distro except yours, or the fix for your distro that worked 5 years ago but now doesn't.

My current forray into linux is going well except for taking all day to configure the dual boot though, so maybe some things have gotten better!

This astro turfed guy again? Yikes

1. Commute as part of working hours.
2. Reliable public transit, with the monthly pass paid by work.
3. Salary increase of at least 15%.

I feel all of these are relatively realistic and achievable by my workplace except for reliable public transit which is out of their hands. Thankfully they're still remote first though there have been a few indications that this might change.

Your specs are slightly better than mine and I'm running at a stable 144fps at 1440p with everything maxed out. I guess you're running at 4k? Even so I would expect your framerate to be higher than that

Most stores near me don't let you use the self checkout with more than a basket, but then they will not have anyone at any of the normal checkouts while having 3-4 employees just chilling "watching" the self checkouts.

OK, travelling as a group that large completely changes things! I've never travelled as a group that big and to be honest I doubt I even know that many people total!

I honestly don't think travelling as such a large group is a good idea. Most guides recommend groups of less than 6, which even splitting up you will be well over. The reason for this is you will run into issues with everything. For example if you want to take the train you will practically fill up an entire train car. Most restaurants will not be able to seat you, and those that can will require a reservation. The best restaurants are very often the small hole in the wall ones that seat 10 people and half are taken by regulars!

As far as accommodation goes you probably want to stick to hotels for the simple reason that you would have to book multiple Airbnbs anyway so at least with hotels you can have all the rooms together rather than everyone spread out all over the city.

I'm sorry if I'm sounding negative here but honestly travel in such a group sounds like a nightmare!

No, Suica can be used for all trains in Tokyo. It can also be used in various other cities across Japan as well but that is beside the point.

Different types of card exist (pasmo, Suica, etc) but they're all fundamentally the same and can be used interchangeably.

I would disagree on the Airbnb point, and in fact reverse it. Book a hotel instead of an Airbnb if possible.

People have been saying the Chinese economy is a year or two away from complete collapse for the past few decades, each time for a different reason. I'll believe it when it actually happens.

The point that everyone in the comments is getting at is that it should not be required for people to spend 1000s of dollars a month on a personal vehicle. It's not the transit thats forcing people to be stuck in cities, it's the lack of it and the overreliance on cars that people can't afford!

In Spain you can totally get the bus to most places, especially touristy places! AVE is expensive but there are budget high speed operators operating now and the bus is cheap. All these options are far cheaper than owning a car (and cheaper than owning a car in a car centric country as well!).

Also those towns that don't have good connections it's mostly poor people living there, so rather than being stuck in cities because they don't own cars, they're stuck in poor rural towns because there is no transit to other places!

You're ignoring the thing car drivers complain about the most, traffic delays. To me real freedom is being able to get to the places I need to using my own two feet, without needing to spend thousands every year on a car, insurance, etc. Headphones also exist and let you enjoy your own music while outside of a car without disturbing anyone!

What we need everywhere is a people first policy that makes it so you don't need a car to get around, especially in cities.

I'm not sure what you are talking about with Spain. People there are not "trapped" in cities, they have good public transit in most cities and one of the best high speed rail systems in the world to get between cities, on top of that an extensive bus system that is even cheaper and extensive than the trains.

I think this is the best approach, rather than starting a new comminity and resetting back to zero again.

This app is awesome, has way more data than other weather apps I've used. Really nice to see allergen information as somebody that gets bad allergies!
