I'm ready for the guillotines to make a come back at this point. I've lost friends to this; it's personal.

Demanding anything of a representative that goes contra to their donors, who grace both sides with their money, is a quick exercise in failure.

Even if it exists, it's not something the public has true access to. These laws are not made for the benefit of the masses.

Ultimately, it will be less about what is 'right' and more about 'well it happened so long ago in the past and there is nothing we can do about it now' See the current plight of the Native Americans for what I fear will

Thank you for pointing that final point out: as I read the article, I was feeling that something was off with the labelling of the imposter.

I don't think it's an issue of getting the same amount done in fewer hours, I think that those hours are likely the actual productive hours anyway so we might as well adopt that schedule as you advocate.

I think the animus is against overworking people for low pay with virtual monopoly protection against labor unions or alternatives, although I'm sure there are those who also advocate for universal basic income. I'm not sure that

How can we determine what the percentage is? I'm also in your boat in feeling well compensated and not overworked, but I anecdotally feel like I'm very fortunate in this regard despite what I thought was the norm.

I do find it odd that, given the reported reduction in carbon emissions from covid, that governments are not outright mandating work from home for compatible jobs as an easy win to this problem.

I don't think strawmanning political parties is particularly helpful here.

Disclaimer: I'm not defending their point of you, just reasoning through it. My naive take is that it calls into question if the supposed catastrophe (from the 40%'s point of view) is real if the leaders aren't taking it seri

For now; new laws should be created to take away that right.

Very interesting; I wonder if the reported viewership dropoff is because the numbers come from cable viewership numbers only, drop in interest in the Olympics in general, or what this article is talking about regarding making it so hard to

This is what I do as well; I would add the caveat that foreign news sites written in english are absolutely pushing propaganda on you regardless of whether it's about internal politics or foreign politics. Russia Today is even up front

I'm not sure that's actually the case here; anecdotally, but a lot of the criticism of the former president at the time came from his bold statements that he never bothered to correct. Though, to be fair, that's probably not

The problem is that the people admitting these mistakes were not necessarily the political figures advocating them to the populace at large. I imagine a fair bit of opposition to the safe vaccines we are able to enjoy is due to skepticism o

Your point is well taken: I want to argue with you that Camp 2 will never be seen as correct, but as I see restrictions lifted despite the large number of unvaccinated individuals which remain, I can't help but wonder if it will actual

I think part of the problem people are having with the vaccines which have proven to be well-tested and safe is that there is already a non-insignificant portion of the populace that thinks most vaccines are unsafe by nature.

Yes, currently they can. The argument is that this is not desirable given how much sway these companies have over politics. For example, I have read that Donald Trump was elected as a result of Twitter; I wonder if he can win re-election wh

Any chance of that working went out the window now that they demonstrated the willingness to kick people off of the service altogether.

Who gets to decide which state is hostile? We should be friends with Russia, not blaming them for all of our woes.

I had no idea; most history taught in the states appears to focus on non-european events until, suddenly, holocaust.

by kuraudo 8y ago
The problem there is that pre-european American wars aren't as interesting as, say, any era of China's blood-soaked history. Not all conflicts are created equal I guess.

I think you hit the nail on the head. The fact that you're also tested on useless tidbits like the kind of pottery some tribe used is soul crushing as a child.

That or they don't care. I'd be very interested to know what kind of positions the friends & families of these judges hold related to the mergers they approve.

In a perfect world, what you said would be how things are actually decided.

I get what you're saying, but that shouldn't matter in a sane world. This merger is bad news for the citizenry.

I don't think it's possible to deny it at this point; you'd have to be blind not to see the hatred directed towards white people. This behavior is both encouraged and protected by the culture & institutions running the we

This isn't exactly the best time to be a white male. There is a lot of hatred, both institutional and cultural, directed their way.
