   Freedom of choice is better than having to stand on the bus, even if it is possibly better for your health. Which it probably isn't, as public transit is how infections spread quickly and efficiently.

   Thanks to Uber, my girlfriend can enjoy safe reliable transportation to/from work, allowing her to sleep an extra hour daily while not having to inject herself into rush hour crowds in metro, not even mentioning creeps and pickpockets.

    straightforward tight-aggressive is a slightly losing strategy at these stakes due to rake (mostly because the other 8 players at the table are also using it) Also, at 25nl there are many who play for living, as $500 is a decent salary to t

    basically, your argument is that you know better than the market. Let me assure you, this isn't so. Source: grew up in the USSR.

    >> There's no historical context to the game of chess that has traditionally favored men over women? See, maybe there was. But you're claiming that this historic context is the sole explanation for all observable difference.

    i'll repeat this slowly just for you: it's obvious that physical characteristics are different, so by extension it is not impossible that mental characteristics are different, too. Exhibit A: top chess players. Exhibit B: it is kn

    Russian TV has operated in patriotic imperial brainwashing mode for the past 15 years (and their culture in general - for the last 300 years), so no surprise here.

    > "Have sex or starve" can be seen as a breach of consent. By extension, "flip the burgers or starve" is a breach of consent as well, so forced labour/slavery.

    From what I gather, liberals in general tend to say that sex isn't special (anyone can freely have sex with whomever they want and slut shaming is wrong), but, at the same time, that sex for compensation is literally rape (because it&#

    Human trafficking victims working at US farms and such probably outnumber prostitutes by at least an order of magnitude. Should farming be outlawed? (Btw are they actually victims if they are willingly doing it?)

    Look, you have to understand something: in Russia, human life has no intrinsic value at all, so it's not a conundrum in any way. New weapon can kill more people, all by itself? Great, bring more of those! If you don't believe me,
