Is the company you work for 100% moral (whatever that means)? Seems like a bad reason to want to axe someone.

Wanting a sane and stable and reliable device is doing evil? Oh please. If the changes happened that people (who apparently don't use iOS) wanted, iOS would turn into the godawful shitshow that is Android. No thanks. If you don't

No no, you see, responsibility goes to the top, unless it lands on your tribe. Then it only goes to the nearest opposing tribe.

It did address what you said. You are demeaning people with trauma when you say “lots” have “BS” traumas. It ties in with people doubting their trauma. You don’t get to decide what is and isn’t trauma. You aren’t the arbiter of what is trau

Nice cynical, cruel take. It says more about you that you believe people who speak about their trauma are only doing it to play victim. You ever wonder how trauma is passed through generations? Because of the premise you are saying: people

You immediately assume the worst possible intent from those statements. Your cynicism casts it as some hollow statements, when most likely it was just people sharing there lives. Some might be fake, sure, bet I bet most aren’t. Try to be mo

If you believe that at all. Most virulent racists say whatever to justify their actions. These noble-but-misguided excuses are disingenuous.

Alcoholic and abusive father, enabling and abusive mother. Lived adjacent to the 'ghetto' neighborhoods in a city with a high violent crime rate. Things got a little better financially in my mid teens, but the damage had been done

It is really a shame people fall for this garbage after Iraq.

Do you have any other source on this? Searching around showed nothing.

Cool story and all, but it does have to do with poverty level. Did you have to worry about food or housing situations, have to take care of the household and siblings cause parent's were working, deal with substance abuse of parents, o

He said macro level. In other words, statistically kids do better when they are in a wealthier household or have higher educated parents. You also never mentioned what exactly your social status or wealth was then. Were you living in povert

You are so educated, surely you can provide a short summary explaining your views. >But I still saw people plowing fields with oxen. I've seen very poor people in developing countries, but I haven't seen that first hand. The le

Violence is wrong. At the same time, actions have consequences. Perhaps the Israelis should have been worrying about the diaspora when they were lynching Palestinians in the street.

How did Cuba and Vietnam improve? What was wrong to begin with? What is the difference between communism and socialism?

by whydoibother 5y ago
You didn't even address what I said, and instead resorted back to black and white thinking. All while telling me I am the stupid one. Okay. P.S. Cuba and Vietnam are still around and still socialist. Edit: Actually, looking at all your

You are quick to insult people's intellect while spouting western propaganda. People love to trot out the USSR as a failure, ignoring that a major part of that failure was due to Perestroika and Gorbachev. As for Cuba, the US has waged

ISIL existed/exists directly due to America’s waging of war on Iraq. It’s disingenuous to list that there.

Aren't most miners in China and use coal power? Seems like it is contributing to destroying the planet then.

> 1. Illegal immigrants driving down wages > 4. To get workers companies hire illegals or pay higher wages Seems to me number 4 invalidates number 1. The companies who refuse to pay a livable income are driving down wages.

I'm bringing this up because you said people's lives are the sum of their actions. I think we both agree psychological trauma can affect people immensely. However, your statement saying they can just go get help is really hand-wav

by whydoibother 5y ago
What about people who suffer trauma, childhood or otherwise, due to the decisions of others? Saying people's lives are strictly in their control is just not true.

What a strange and cynical view to hold. Maybe people talk about safety out of a genuine care of others? Or maybe they are into doing things safely and like to share that.

It is one more house they won't be able to buy and build equity with. Meanwhile, they will have to pay more than what the mortgage is to rent (you are extracting some kind of profit, after all) and have nothing to show for it at the en

I am assuming you are basing this off the failed and racist public housing that has existed in America. There are better ways though, I assure you.

Somehow, I imagine you aren't in Portland or haven't spent a lot of time downtown. You are regurgitating right talking points.

That is possible without landlords. Gov't provided housing, for instance.

by whydoibother 5y ago
No, they don't. Landlords are complete drains on society. They don't 'provide' housing. They limit supply and drive up costs for everyone else.
