While I understand the purely legal arguments regarding lowering the minimum age to 18 for gun ownership, I think it's a terrible idea based on common sense. Kids are mentally maturing at a later age compared to previous generations, therefore, if anything, we should start changing other things...

The facts about the post where that poster claimed 350% increase are clear. All you have to do is look at the photos of the receipts and the food on the table. 1. He was clearly comparing January 7th, 2024 and December 4th, 2024. Not even comparing 2023 vs. 2024. The receipts have dates on...

@Vince, I was reading the post that you linked and it clearly included the receipts from two very different restaurants in one single post on Dec 4th and claiming it was a 350% increase. His receipts show one with being 19,400 and the other 71,000. Going from 19,400 to 71,00 is a 266%...

The claim of 350% increase is false or very misleading at best. That poster was comparing the prices of two different restaurants from two different airports, with the key difference being that one appears to be a full table service restaurant and the other a quick service place. Look...

While doing the tests with my eyes open, I was beginning to think I was immortal, so I thought maybe I was doing the test incorrectly. I decided to try doing the tests with my eyes closed and even after multiple attempts, my best time was about 40 seconds on my left leg and 50 seconds for my...

I am not familiar with the circumstances that led to the dismissals of the other officials. However, in the case of the foreign minister, she has to be fired for what she did. There are two possibilities for why she voted against the US regarding Cuba: 1. She voted against the US knowing...

This simple test of standing on one leg can can indicate how well you’re aging. "Adults in their 30s and 40s could balance on one leg for close to one minute. Adults in their 50s were able to stand on one leg for about 45 seconds, and those in their 70s for 26 seconds." How long can you stand...

I would consider 11.7+ million times to be fairly frequent. Also, 'according to the data provided by ICE to Rep. Gonzales, over 435,719 convicted criminal immigrants were on ICE's non-detained docket.' 13,099 of them are convicted murderers. Those are just the ones they know of, the ones...

A few months ago, speculations, devaluation fears, probably caused by intentional lies posted by those who would benefit, caused the rate to quickly jump to ~1500 from ~1000 . I think it was prudent for Milei's administration to fight that market manipulation even if it meant doing some...

@Johnny, since you're in the banking industry, you must know that terms of the loans are never changed by the lenders 'out of the goodness of their hearts' as @Uncle Wong correctly pointed out. It was obvious that Milei was visiting the countries that would help support their case in their IMF...

@StatusNomadicus, when someone is working and providing a service, they are "contributing to the society", not just "using the society." Yes, they work at a store, one that you walked into willingly and can exit without making any purchases. Do you think the prices at that store would be the...

I would go there instead:

That makes me not want to go there!

There is nothing wrong with living with your parents until you actually need the extra space, perhaps until after you get married and/or have a child. I think such arrangements should be encouraged and not looked upon as some kind of failure. It's good for the finances of everyone and also...

Glad to hear things are working out. It takes courage and compassion to give someone another chance. The theft of food and toilet paper are probably the only things I am willing overlook once, I would agree with others that the theft of money or jewelry should result in immediate dismissal...

Forecasts are never guaranteed to be accurate or even close due to various unforeseen reasons. However, forecasts do have an effect on people's behavior and investment decisions. That in turn has an effect on future inflation rate. Consider what would happen if they had forecasted 310%...

1. I respect people's choices when it comes to vaccines, regardless of their rationales behind their decisions. With that said, I personally believe in getting all required and US CDC recommended vaccines. There are risks and side effects, some of which are higher for certain people and for...

Apparently you should get the Yellow Fever vaccine at least 10 days before going to Iguazu if you haven't gotten it already.

If you believes Milei went to Paris mainly to see the Olympics, consider the following: 1. If you look at the countries with the most voting power in the IMF and the World Bank, you should notice the importance of visiting the US, Germany, Italy, and yes, France, unless you think the Argentina...

Just a few things to keep in mind: 1. As I explained in the post linked below, it's important to consider what date range you are comparing to get a better perspective before making a conclusion about a trend...
