I somewhat agree… but struggling with WHO updates and submits their resume for “fun”?? Like, just getting the “setup” for those job applications is ACTUAL work, in and of itself… For half those applications, you need to deal with creating an “application portal” account which stops me before I get anywhere… 😅 Why even submit the resume, at that point? What am I missing here…? People like the entire PROCESS and/or think it’s “fun”??? Is it “really” possiblye to find any aspect of the process… “fun”? I suppose I’d agree if misunderstanding it?

While not thoroughly informed on gun evolution, definitely agree! They were clearly used in the 1500s onward, at least for European usage. 1806 simply marks a year of notable military pistol production (like the Harpers Ferry model) although maybe others?

Whoa, whoa, whoa… Slow down there, boss! You’re suggesting the US gov’t is setting up a false flag event via entrapment??? UnHeArD oF1!1!!!111!!

This is actually false in a literal translation sense. That’s the interpretation/implication of the title. Similar to how you would interpret the title of a biography called, “Abraham Lincoln”, as “The story (of the life) of Abraham Lincoln”, despite the latter not being the actual title.

In this case, the title is literally “Odysseyus” where “-us” is the nomative (subject) case case marker required in Latin. The English literal translation is, therefore, simply “Odyssey”, his name.

Because it’s an epic story, however, it matches English and general writing conventions to translate it as “The story/journey/epic/tale/what-have-you of Odyssey.”

Over time, especially in English, “O/odyssey” has taken on a more generic term, as well. So, adding the extra stuff in an interpreted translation (vs. literal translation) also helps differentiate the title of the book from a generic odyssey that might be a grand adventure by/with a different main character.

$150 per hour? I’m in salaried software engineering and barely making a third of that after a promotion.

If what you propose happens, all the prices of everything would skyrocket… It seems good on paper, but it ignores all the greed of capitalism…

For better or worse, (the latter for rich folks…) there “needs” to be tiers of incomes (in Capitalism). Bumping the minimum just bumps the prices. We’ve already experience it with minimum wage bumps in the US. We don’t have an actual solution that works at the moment in the US because minimum wage increases automatically lead to greedier CEOs.

A social security number/card is not exclusive to citizens. Green card/permanent residents, for example, usually get them - particularly, if planning to/already working.

Any kind of national/citizen id would need a whole new process and require it be provided to 100% of existing citizens. Time-consuming and certainly a cost associated with the process.

It’s one of those “in theory” easy things, but a lot more difficult in practice, I imagine.
