I've posted some challenges myself and will occasionally take a stab at guessing one of the entries, but I don't get around to engaging every day or even week. For me personally, I think the game is very fun, but the number of challenges per day/week is too high. If you scaled back a bit, I think you'd get more participation on each individual challenge.

How about, instead of creating a for-profit industry that will gradually canibalize the public funded healthcare options, until they've become the only option and start squeezing everything for more money, we invest in the public system so it can address the issues we currently have?

Suggesting private healthcare to address a public healthcare issue is akin to fixing flaking paint by burning the house down. Instead of, you know, investing into some paint and fixing it.

That's the worst part imho. We should hold Ford accountable and demand that money back if they unilaterally decide to axe the plan we collectively funded.

Remember how we used to think people should retire in old age, instead of running a country? Pepperidge farm remembers.

It's a good thing the Republican leadership is as incompetent as they are morally bankrupt, but that doesn't mean they haven't managed to stumble their way into pushing the US to the brink of a dictatorship. As the KGB used to say, a lot of them are "useful idiots" which can be orchestrated by careful external manipulation.

I'm not onboard with that conspiracy, as there were certainly attempts on his life throughout his reign. But I do agree with the relevancy of that Sun Tzu quote.

By 1943 Hitler was making such poor decisions it would've actually benefited the Nazi war effort if he had been removed from power.

That last part is the terrifying bit, honestly. Trump is an egomaniac with the attention span of a toddler. He's an unguided projectile of spite and vanity.

Imagine someone competent filling his shoes with the unprecedented powers that were recently granted by the supreme court and the rabid MAGA fanbase behind them.

The potential for lasting damage goes (even further) off the scale. I shudder to think what that might actually look like.

Honestly, in the event Biden loses, the best hope the US has is Trump's general incompetence.

As another Henson user - get yourself a variety of blades to test with them as well. I find that the RK blades they ship with their razors aren't great for people with coarse beards and/or sensitive skin. You can get sampler packs of a variety of blades to test which ones work best for your hair and skin with various resellers online.

Same, but in summer. The 24/7 nearly equal intensity daylight does a number on your internal clock and experience of time. 10/10 for wildlife though. Puffins everywhere. Plus whales, seals, walruses, and polar bears in the wild are such an impressive thing to see.

This is veryh much on the nose for western Canada (at least, BC from my experience). By the time we get to vote the winner is already called.

It depends on where in Sweden you live of course, but I always loved the moment the first snow was on the ground. It immediately makes the entire surroundings feel less glum, even during the short days of winter.

Agree on the impact of climate change though. The seasons used to be reliable like clockwork, and that hasn't really been the case for the last decade and a half or so.

Yeah that makes more sense and how I've understood it to work. Guaranteed retirement =/= retired.
