Why don't you give folks water?

It's not simply a matter of the water bill, but also what culture it promotes around their service, what customers (or "customers" in quotes) this attracts, how this affects other actual customers and so on.

McDonald's have bought or rented the place, own the equipment, pay their staff, and pay taxes. They did all this to offer a specific service. You can take that service or leave it. They're not a public free water dispensers, or social services, or whatever role people are trying to impose on them.
I’ve talked with a friend in NZ who have recently purchased 5 houses all to rent, all have mortgages, and none in expensive cities (think South Island outside CHCH and Queenstown). They work full time in Auckland in a business they run.

The housing crisis has been this way since at least 2000 or so. It won’t change until:

- Stamp duty for buying rentals / converting to rentals, maybe 10-20%

- Limit the number of existing residential properties a person can own to 5 (no lower than 3). Maybe allow them to buy more than 5 if they pay a high stamp duty (eg 60%).

- No limit to number of new residential properties a person can build (Ie encourage adding new stock to the housing market), so long as it doesn’t involve the demolition of an existing residential property.

- Higher buy to let mortgage deposit requirements on existing properties (maybe 60%?)

- Higher interest on buy to let mortgages (maybe the govt charges an additional 3% on top of the interest as a form of tax)

- Maybe some more draconian stuff like unable to sell a property as a rental if it has been a rental for at least 2 out of the last 10 years. Ie making the only people that could buy it owner-occupiers.
As others mentioned, definitely both.

There are only few venomous snakes in Europe, the most common one is European viper (Vipera Berus, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipera_berus) - but it's not deadly unless you get an alergic reaction. So most people don't consider snakes in Europe as a threat or deadly danger.

It's not a consistent position in any way. After all, they still eat food.

Insects are many, they're small, and they're everywhere. Between growing, harvesting, processing, transporting, putting on store shelves, buying, transporting home, and putting in the fridge, you can bet that any piece of produce is highly likely to have dead insect pieces on it, or in it.

It's like people don't realize what the biosphere is made of. It's not a magical land where living things frolic - it's a dense soup of things that live, and things that once lived. The soil in which we grow our food is made of dead bodies mixed with sand, infused with nanobots that forever try to recycle the carcasses into more living things.

No, worrying about insect biomass is not the best thing to ground your ethical framework around. Otherwise, you'd best not breathe - the air is full of dead bodies too.

On the one hand I tend to agree that many environmental consequences are really not appreciated and that lithium tends to get an unusually high amount of attention in comparison, but I also think maybe that's actually reasonable and a good thing.

The reason I think that might be the case is because lithium-ion batteries seem to be on track to become pretty ubiquitous. It probably won't ever be equivalent to oil products, but it'll probably get far closer than most things. Yet it's still relatively early days. We're not at the point where fundamental change is impossible.

We're increasingly aware of all the problems with oil-products, but... not so much is happening about it. They are so fundamental to everything that major changes are exceedingly difficult and expensive.

With lithium-ion batteries we aren't there yet, but we're getting closer every day. If we put an outsized amount of attention on the problems now, we have a better shot at actually fixing them, as bigger changes are more feasible now than they ever will be in the future.
Definitely, and also a factor of what people are willing to lend.
The people who check facts, empirically at least, believe there is a single source of truth on any topic and see their role as guiding people towards it and/or whacking people who are talking about a topic but not considered that single source.

Very few fact checking organizations appear to actually use critical thinking of any kind. They claimed they would be but they're just journalism interns normally, so they just degrade to assuming that whatever the government or ideologically aligned academics say, is the truth, and anything else is wrong.
I promise the people in FAANG are not more rewarded or happy than you on average, at least with respect to their job. I’ve been in them, and people either complain, or are jealous of the people making startup millions.

They are close to zero (I think).

Most McDonalds (I know of) either have free refills or provide pre-filled cups.

So this mainly prevents you refilling "to often" or with "to old cups".

The huge majority of people will not "refill to often".

But homeless people might try try to get some extra drinks by refilling using old cups or cups from other people.

But they also don't really have the money to buy additional drinks.

So no relevant amount of not sold drinks are missed out on.

At least IMHO and with the kind of McDonald I have been in.

I look forward to your similarly vitriolic complaints when a politician you support wins the premiership (not the football one).

The fact that prime ministers are answerable to parliament, and that parliament is sovereign, is IMHO the single best and most important feature of the British political system.

Contrast that with presidential systems, particularly that in the US in which the president fulfils the constitutional role of an elected George III circa 1790. Which for some reason Americans seem to think is somehow modern over 200 years later. If one of them goes off the rails you're stuck with them for years. Our leader of government serves at the discretion of our elected representatives and can be turfed out at any moment, which actually happens and isn't just a theoretical mechanism. An excellent arrangement.

Fair enough. Facebook is often criticized around here for handling policy violations in an opaque manner. The court simply says that principles of due process should apply when users are banned or censored.
Your post implies that "ideal" is well defined. I disagree. For what it's worth, I vehemently disagree that libertarian freedom is an ideal in theory or would be tolerated by the vast majority of people if applied in practice.

I would assert that most everything that most people actually enjoy in life is directly or indirectly scaffolded by a combination of socialism, capitalism and authoritarianism—and would be made worse by the actual reality of libertarian freedom.

I really can't agree. Rimworld might be more accessible, but it lacks DF's depth of simulation. Even if you ignore details in DF that are generally unimportant (e.g. all the intricate details of a dwarf's personality and the precise genetics of their facial hair), Rimworld's lack of 3D and fluid simulation alone make it vastly simpler.

But what really annoyed me about Rimworld, and why I never really got into it, was how "gamey" it feels.

One element is, the mechanics of random events, which feel extremely arbitrary. I'm not talking about random animals coming onto the map, that's little different from a legendary beast turning up in DF, but things like a solar event causing all your batteries to blow up for no reason. And random events seem to happen every few minutes. Whereas in DF, pretty much everything that happens, happens for a reason. There's randomness, but it's not completely random. If your fortress is wealthy, it will attract invasions. Forgotten beasts actually exist on the world map and have a history. That sort of thing.

In addition to that, crafting and combat are extremely simplistic compared to DF. In DF, bootstrapping an economy which can actually craft everything you need from scratch is actually fairly difficult and requires significant planning and investment. Many things require multiple stages of processing, and it can be very hard to find the particular raw material you need. In Rimworld, you pick up a few raw materials and can manufacture an assault rifle in a couple of minutes. And that assault rifle doesn't need ammunition, and is hopelessly inaccurate beyond 10m or so, for some reason. Compare that to DF where when a dwarf shoots a crossbow it actually does a 3D simulation of the bolt's trajectory. And in the background it's also simulating things like the bolt's temperature, and when it hits the target, it determines what happens based on the density and strength of the bolt's material and the material of whatever it hit.

You might expect free basic water, what we in the UK would call "tap water". But that's not one of the options - the picture shows Dasani, which is a product that's marketed as a premium water competing with mineral water. I wouldn't expect to walk into a restaurant and get free mineral water, regardless of my housing situation.

(In reality Dasani is just filtered tap water, and is infamous in the UK for ending up less pure than the tap water it started with and having to go through a huge product recall before they even released it. But, as silly as it is, it's still a paid product.)

"higher levels of education generally correlate to lower levels of belief in things like conspiracy theories"

Higher levels of education correlate with believing in different conspiracy theories. Here are some conspiracy theories that educated people routinely believe. Please don't argue with me about whether you think they are or are not true, because even though the term conspiracy theory is often used as a synonym for any false belief, in reality it just means a belief in the existence of some sort of conspiracy.

1. Russians / generic bad people manipulate the uneducated masses through Twitter accounts.

2. Oil companies are trying to suppress the truth about climate change.

3. Systemic racism exists against black people.

4. Relatedly, American conservatives are trying to stop black people voting by insisting on voter ID standards.

5. A patriarchy is keeping down women.

In all these cases, a large group of people is identified, a collective action ascribed to them that they would themselves deny, and then it is asserted that they're lying and their true motivations are different to what they claim. That is sufficient for these things to be conspiracy theories. I personally also believe none of them are true, but that's actually irrelevant to the point under discussions.

Around 17% of the Netherlands is reclaimed from the sea or lakes. The largest project (the Flevopolder [1]) was 240,000 acres, reclaimed in the 1950s and 1960s. Most of the land is still just meadows/grasslands (it has 2 towns with less than 350k inhabitants in total).

Meanwhile, in Amsterdam (less than 30min away by car or train) house prices keep increasing by 10%+ YoY. It seems that lack of physical land is not the main limiting factor.

I'm not sure what you mean, I mean what have the arguments you commented on to do with "the rich".

In the end there is a very large swath of people between poorish and not rich which go to McDonalds.

> homeless are simply problematic

Idk, I can't speak about the homeless in other places but at least where I live it's most times not too big of a problem. But then I could imagine it quite a different situation in other places. Like e.g. where I live there are places the homeless can go to to take a shower, it's not perfect but in the end except a few exceptions most homeless tend to be at most a bit smelly and in turn it's not a problem in most McDonalds if they would pass by there.

I would argue the problem is to give this job to a for profit consumer electronics company like Tesla at all. Tesla does not have the culture to engineer a nation-scale production site, they only know how to prototype.

The correct solution, I’d argue, would be to set up the different public governmental departments how the different departments are set up at Amazon: they have a public interface at everything they do and they do it to a level that you could sell it to the outside. And then to give this job to the public.
