FTFY, at least here in a certain country…

Oh. I thought mirth was just gladness; I guess I was leaning more towards something like “amusement.” Either way, got it.

Did you know that Monopoly was originally invented by a woman whose point was how horrible monopolies are? It originally had a co-op mode that could topple monopolies through unions and co-ops.

Her game was bought by a jerk who removed the co-op mode and then claimed Monopoly as his own game. She died penniless.

If the capitalist system incentivizes me to outcompete others and hoard my wealth and, conversely, punishes me for my altruism; then, I am forced to play by the rules of such a system.

So change it… or be a pebble in the mountain of change.

Use Qalculate!, the only calculator app everyone needs.

I’ve never heard that being a reason; I’ve always heard that they were following the single-minded devotion of John the Baptist and Jesus.

If money were no object, I would build a reusable-glass network and force Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, etc. to start a global glass shipping program to take customer-returned glass products (like after you use up all the vinegar, mayonnaise, etc. in your glass jars, etc.) and get them back into the production factories for reuse. All containers would follow standardized sizes (several dozen classifications) to make reuse easy.
