This. A huge amount. (Well done on your successes so far) I had to stop my sister from buying yet another $500 shitbox. Told them to get affairs in order and sort out finance to get a proper good car, something modern, and get it insured. F

The argument isn't whether or not it's a bad hand, it's whether someone should play the hand they got. Saying "the game is rigged, don't bother playing, wait until xyz happens" is, in my estimation, the issue,

Yearly I give about $8000 to my sister, straight cash,. sometimes lump sums, other times, weekly amounts. Money doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to use it, neither does a computer for that matter, evidently. If you&#x27

Basic income would only be used to enslave other countries that don't implement it (much like sweatshops/consumerism we have now) If everyone implements it, then it's pointless, because currency only works when there's a

Have you had any experience with poverty / getting others out of poverty? in which gives you experience to say "yes, this is the true poverty trap!" I know you're being poetic, but poverty is a very real thing. There com

Amazing document; these are the sorts of things i find in my own experience as i try to help my sister out of poverty. I'm very glad that these sort of papers come out and are reasoned about. The "psychology" is perhaps the O

I would reason that a relationship that needs to be enforced isn't "secure." What does "secure in their relationship" mean to you?

by drekipus 3y ago
It's a hypothetical situation for the sake of discussion, not ad hominem.

by drekipus 3y ago
A person isn't a food item, and "formally straight" relationships (including marriages) fall apart, obviously because that person isn't straight anymore.. Which is my point: the relationship isn't "secure"

by drekipus 3y ago
If you felt secure in the relationship you probably wouldn't feel the need. The desire for novelty comes from bored or unfulfilled from your current relationship, which would contest the "security" of the relationship if it i

My bad, I meant voluntary slavery, I don't know what the proper term is.

People having an opinion on something doesn't affect you. Just relax. Swearing at them, calling them out, "people like you" etc, affects them. I have to have this exact same discussion with my 60yo bipolar neighbour who terro

The fact that people have failed and haven't gotten fired, means that there's evidence against the claim, so that it's not absolute. OP is the one claiming monopoly on the truth. "everything sucks and burn those who disa

I, and many other people I know, failed all the time; and we never got fired, we simply learned from it and moved on. People who get fired are the ones who never learn, and have a shitty attitude about failure. I know which camp I'd ra

That's a very good point, but I (like to..) think the slur is used against the administrators.. Ie: "you got beaten by a14yo skiddie, are you daft" ?
