Honestly, boobs are not that exciting.

Have you ever been to a topless beach? The novelty wears out after about 10 seconds and then it becomes a boring norm.

So you feel that women should be arrested and prosecutable if their nipples are exposed?

That's very misogynist. And no, you can't argue for the law to "save the women" from all those perverts. Because the whole point of this is to free women from the bullshit laws that allows society to prosecute them while pulling double duty by effectively shaming their bodies.

Most women are not going to run around topless voluntarily. But, even if they did - say a group of girls or women decided to go skinny dipping or whatever at a lake, do you really believe they should go to jail for that?

Don't mansplane and tell everyone these laws are for women's own good, because they aren't. Inventing this bizarre photographic scenario is just bizarre. It's a fiction of your imagination and is a straw man argument.

You are correct that the true problem is men, but not how you think it is.

Where in the world is that? I have never heard of renters paying for maintenance.

In fact, every single rental agreement I signed over 25 years said "contact the landlord if there is a problem" which was backed up by state law.

Houses are not "one time labor.". Housing requires constant scheduled maintenance and upkeep over time.

Not to mention the financing required to pay for it all,which is normally spread over 30 years.

Landlords also do repair and maintenance (jokes aside) to maintain the property in good working order / habitability.

At least, they are generally required by law to do so. Your laws may vary.

Landlords also prep the unit for habitation between tenants and handle all of the paperwork for rent and utilities (depending).

Maintaining housing is very expensive, and many people cannot afford to just drop $25,000 to redo a kitchen or reroof a building when it is required.

So landlords are basically the middle manager between your living at the property, and all of the maintenance and financial details. You pay rent to them for that service.

Of course de-googling your life is a violation of the terms is service...

Which is incorrect, because Google itself went like 15 years without showing any ads at all to like 5% of their users.

Fuck Spotify, they can eat a bag of dicks after renewing Joe cum-guzzling Rogan for $200million. They deserve to have all of their money stolen.

Dude, the music industry was accusing the US public of theft of music worth hundreds of trillions of $$$ back in the early 2000s. They started mailing random people with $250,000 fine PER SONG PIRATED. I had a friend with like half the Amazon music library on his home computer.

They do not fucking care and yes, have lobbied every politician and AG to be in their pockets.

Facebook and other social media corporations use AI bots to generate "views" to inflate their traffic numbers to entice advertisers. They also use bots to piss people off and drive "engagement.". Which is also fraud.

 

The first commercial PV solar product was nah just in 1909.

See story above, and original article in Modern Electrics magazine in 1909:

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015051407073

EDIT

Since people didn't read past the headline, the article is about a startup company in 1905 that developed a commercial electrical solar panel by 1909 and was worth 160 million in today's money.

In 1909, the inventor of the solar panel was kidnapped and ordered by his kidnappers to destroy all information about this solar panel. He was eventually released, although he did not destroy the solar panel or his documentation, he did shut down his company.

So this is a pretty fascinating development considering that at this time period we actually did have early production electric cars that were manufactured in larger quantities than gas vehicles, and now we learn that solar panels were commercially available, at least for a short time.


And the solar panels could generate a fair amount of electricity:

500 volts per 10 square ft, and a smaller demonstration panel that was 3 ft x 4 ft could generate 60 watts of power (10 volts @6 amps).

Additionally, the panels were designed to charge a battery backup system.
