      Yep, i complitely agree with you. The biggest problem is that people just tend to look at it as something short term they could potentionaly take advantage of. I believe we need more credible people and more projects that will solve this problem. Personally, i hope all the steem will be eventually delegated to decent and relevant platforms since selfvoting and shit like that lead us nowhere. Appreciate your time.

          I do agree with you, beach for me as well and the playing in the water, the run around is just fun. The last time I was at the coast I went for a 4 hours cruise and time flew quickly I wished the cruise was for the entire day...

            I will definitely go for the beach as well and especially now that I live in the inland I will never turn down the chance to spend time at the beach.

            Though the mountains can be very exciting for hiking.

                😊 I can truly imagine what you are saying, I think it narrows down to if one live in the inland or the coast.

                The mountains can be fun too with hiking and climbing...

                  At the end of the day we are blessed with nature here and both the beach and mountains are just breath taking.

                  Thanks for your answer

                            Thank you for your answer and the pictures. The beach it is, we have more people opting for the beach and I'm definitely part of them.

                                  I have kind of the same perspective. When Steem was $3 I would hardly earn one Steem a day... Now seems easier to earn it, to find good posts and to get noticed.

                                    In reading the article you cite, some reasons for this happening, despite its dubious morality, are:

                                    —While most requests for child brides come from Mexico, the majority that are approved come from Middle Eastern nationals. That means there's a combination of cultural and religious acceptance, at least among those who practice it, and the United States has had a hard time when it comes to sorting out Islamic differences between freedom of religion and the law. Even, admittedly where there shouldn't be a moral equivalency.

                                    —In order for this to work, underage marriage needs to not only be acceptable in the country where the child bride is from, but it also needs to be legal in the state where she will reside. Many states have the legal marriage set at 18, but also allow for certain exceptions. It's these exceptions which are allowing, or aiding in permitting this to continue, even though the specific result is probably unintended.

                                    —In many of these cases, parents and family are complicit. Even in the United States, minors are not afforded the same privileges and freedoms as an adult, and so as long as a parent is giving permission, the governing body (state or federal governments) will look the other way. If there's evidence of child endangerment, or something else, than the government may step in, but again, religious freedom and what is constituted by it can be a thorny issue.

                                    —There are those in the U.S. Congress who want to shut down this practice by closing what they call a loophole in the laws. We can only hope that they can find a way to do so that won't open the door for something else, be it religious censorship, or something else bad.

                                    —Wondering when this might actually be fixed is a good question. We are living in a strange time where a lot of what has been considered socially if not morally unacceptable is now perfectly permissible. As those social or moral moorings erode, it opens the door for many other practices to be considered, if not allowed. Without clear boundaries, an anything goes kind of attitude forms, and it becomes even harder to stop things that only years ago would have never happened, let alone be considered.

                                      The total supply number I took from coinmarketcap so its not my calculations and honestly I have no clue what will happen when the total supply will be mined. I was thinking though how the rewards pool will work at that time. Where would the rewards still come and so on...

                                        Since the question presupposes that there's a good reason for me taking pictures of the inside of someone's shop, convincing a shop owner to let me do it would be relatively simple.

                                        There's a couple of reasons I've done this in the past. One is, there's a product my wife wants me to buy, but I'm not sure which it is, so I take pictures and send it to her via text. The other, as a newspaper owner, I wanted to highlight a business and thought it would be good to show the interior of their store.

                                        In either case, the photos benefit the store owner, so it's a simple matter of announcing my intentions from the start. I think as long as someone is upfront and honest with what they want to do, and it's something that actually benefits the store owner, it won't take much to convince them.

                                        However, sometimes the store owner/manager/employee still won't allow it because of corporate policy.

                                        A friend of mine and I wanted to put together a website/mobile app called The Hungry Traveler. The idea was, we would have a comprehensive site/app with information and photos regarding all the places to eat within a city. We hoped to get businesses to pay for this eventually, but the idea was to get it out there, gather a following, and then take care of the revenue side.

                                        Well, we didn't get very far, because McDonald's corporate policy didn't allow for any photos taken by anyone other than their own official photographers. The pictures they produce, of course, are very polished and show things in the best possible light. We weren't trying to make things look bad, but we did want to show original, untouched photos—in other words, show this particular McDonald's as it was.

                                        We found out after that McDonald's wasn't the only place with such a policy. I guess we could have lowered our standards and used press kit photos, but it seemed to take away from the whole reason for doing it, so we were basically stopped in our tracks. We could have just gone with local people, who probably would have been just fine with what we were doing, but that would have shot the idea of having every place to eat show up on our site/app.

                                        Branding, image and security are three pretty important things to shop owners, regardless, so even if you do have good and proper intent, you need to make sure you can deliver decent pictures of the places you photograph, or you will wind up in trouble anyway.

                                        Yes, the photos would be for my Steemit blog and I'm always asking permission and I'm often told NO! They don't care about my reasons, they are afraid of tax man and inspections.

                                          Did you try Titanfall 2? I feel like it was a phenomenal game, and grossly underrated. If you like CoD but don't like the recent forays, you might want to give TF2 a try.

                                            Do you prefer the modern Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider, it do you prefer the old Eidos TR? I haven't played much of the old stuff, but I quite like the new rendition. Very fitting for Lara...
