One alternative is to criminalize fantasizing about other people. Isn’t it gross that a person can create the likeness of another person in their mind and perform all sorts of sexual depravity with that unreal image? Absolutely disgusting a

Not going on vacation is not a hardship. Edit: This guy’s parents might have actually been through some shit. Asia was not a nice place over the last century. If he had said something like ‘my parents escaped pol pot’ or something ummmm, ac

Language is probably a decent one. If there was a major language shift in your family tree within the last 500 years, you can probably count yourself as disadvantaged in a lot of ways. This includes Africans, indigenous people, but also peo

Hey friend, don’t judge. The world is progressing as it should. There are a lot of people and we don’t really know how to give them super productive things to do, so they chase what they want. We have enough food to feed the world, and yet

Thirdly, let's do away with the idea that government is apolitical. There’s also no fighting in the war room!

Schneider Electric has a fairly large presence in the US...to what I can imagine is a huge benefit to both Europe and the US. Bosch, VW (let’s forget the scandal for a minute)... This goes beyond so much more than this particular article. T

Substitute humility for salt and personality for the tripe and cabbage. That was Christ’s message after all, right? Beyond any supernatural phenomena, the whole New Testament seems to be a testament to humility. Like, ‘I am literally God an

Eh, I prefer to think of it as looking at your foundation, or roots. It’s just a slab of concrete, where the stuff on top is a bit more elaborate and abstract. Looking back should be like looking at your foundation. It’s supporting everythi

No, it’s absolutely fantastic advice. But there’s a second part of it that needs be attached. Be yourself, and be ready for feedback. Your self might just be awful. I think everyone has this happen to them, where who they are needs some adj

Yeah, I went through a phase where I’d be hyper-aware if talking about elite or exotic things with people. It’s pretty patronizing, that I or anyone would think that the other person couldn’t handle the conversation or something, when most

If you include the notation used in math and science, then the actual level of literacy is at the same levels as you would have seen 500 years ago. It’s actually kind of similar; the liturgical class was literate enough to read and study th

I definitely played too much when I was in high school. It was a symptom of a bigger problem though. I’d also crunch a lot of numbers trying to optimize my characters’ stats, and that inclination definitely stuck with me - it’s basically my

The unfortunate part about this is when a child isn’t allowed to follow their inclinations, in effort to keep up with today’s preferences. Happens so often and it’s super sad. But yeah, fortnite, it’s pretty much team activities in the 21st

Like some other posters have said, it is very trivially true what you say. In ways we can’t even really even think of. All of these articles, it’s like, news flash, the world changes. And goes on. And on. Has for millions of years.

Yeah, it was truly a power shift from landed aristocrats to bankers, merchants, and lawyers. Poor people more-or-less stayed poor. And think of it, the entire French Revolution juxtaposed with the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism. I thi

All complex organisms have some level of resource-intensive, executive control - civilizations are no different. Most people wouldn’t even know what to do with the means of production, other than in aggregate by buying stuff in a semi-free

Agreed. There isn’t necessarily a strong black or Chinese nationalism movement in the US, but it does make sense to target the behavior of ethnic nationalism as opposed to any specific brand of it. It’s: ‘We don’t like it when individual et
