Can you provide any kind of source on the "proper use case" and "the larger group"? It would be nice to have something to reference other than your personal anecdotes :^)

You seem to be arguing under the assumption that every truck in existence is "working" 100% of the time, and that no one buys trucks unless they need them for work. This is not the case. If a job requires a truck, so be it. I&#x27

I wish we could all move on from saying "diverse backgrounds" and just say what we really mean: "not white".

Does it though? A few years ago, google opened an office in a relatively boring area of my small city, which is on the border of an area with a lot of low-income residents. Now, that place is full of nice restaurants and super expensive hig

If the relationship still involves lies and cover ups that caused a future pandemic to get out of control leading to millions of deaths and massive global disruption, what is the value of the relationship?

Your reply assumes that these businesses must continue to exist at all costs, effective moderation be damned. If it’s true that they cannot afford good moderation, then maybe it’s not a sustainable business model? I know online content plat

As an extremely cynical american, my view is that we don't do anything because guns are a big industry in america, and industry controls our government in all the places that matter. But my point was more that we only ever talk about g

The propaganda is what allows elites to exist at all, whether they're aware of it or not. If all us regular people stopped bickering over gender identity and really opened our eyes to see how bad wealth disparity really is, we'd r

I think the point is that if you asked someone with a job such as a janitor or an airline luggage worker if they'd rather get paid to do something that they enjoy doing, the answer would be yes 100% of the time. To go even further, the
