You talk as if benefiting the ruling class was an unwanted consequence of these laws. It’s not. The markets need to be free for the rich to benefit but restricted for the rich to benefit. And maybe some crumbs will fall of the table and the poors will think that the rich are so generous.

The irony of a group called “Mom for liberty” asking to censor libraries…
And why is sex such a bad thing? Why should we ban sex acts from being depicted? The debate is so steeped in religious ideals that some assumptions are just taken for granted.
I’m overthinking this.
If everyone gets the full mark, it’s not a random variable anymore, you would have a collapse of the probability distribution, that would tend to a Dirac delta function. In this case, the very definition of “quartiles” would fail. So, yeah, there would be no one there because it wouldn’t exist.
You can’t skim an audio file, you have to listen from the beginning to the end. Audio makes symbols that are often used in programming difficult to parse or confusing. I… really dislike this
Finding a way to use less agricultural land is great, but I find the mere visual of these farms quite dystopian.
Same here: very far from top result, and links to this same article.
Ideally, yes. Practically, nature needs a lot of space to be able to act freely. Protecting only asking a River might not give nature enough margin of maneuver, so we might need to still take some actions.
A lot depends on your mindset. In particular nowadays, we are constantly focused on the future. Everything is seen as a stepping stone towards something else. So naturally, happiness becomes a faraway goal: “I’ll be happy when that happens”, but as son as that is reached, a new goal appears. To be happy, you need to live in the present. Accept the limitations of it, and thrive on the rest. Not every situation allows for happiness, but most allow for at least some happiness.
I also think that humans are social animals, so happiness should be found in the connections we have with others, friends, blood family and chosen family.
Me too! Makes the political memes even more fun! (I like watching the world burn, on many metaphorical levels at once)
Math is life!
There is no such thing as a non-political discussion either! ;) everything is politics in some sense
Is the generation of wealth really the end goal, though?
On top of that, yes I agree that there are various declinations and modifications of capitalism. And yes, democratic socialism is still a version of capitalism, but one where the harshest edges of capitalism have been significantly smoothed over. Looking at Europe, they are also under capitalism, but implemented significant socialist policies, and the problems there are less extreme than in US. And still, this meme would apply.
