Which raises the question of "who are we to determine what values a society should embrace"? Doesn't that make us cultural imperialists/colonialists?

Why does that matter, he owns it. Why is everybody so emotionally invested in how much control Elon has over a website that he owns? There are a lot of websites.

Isn't this proof that the grading of companies is like the TV show "Whose Line is it Anyway" where the scores are made up and the points don't matter?

Doesn't this go back to the whole "if you don't like it build your own" argument that wrongthinkers have had to listen to for years? A business isn't required to support content they don't agree with, or someth

Well not quite. On page 32 of their Annual Report you can see in the income statement where they are earning millions in interest[0]. [0] http://www.ior.va/content/ior/en/media/annual-report/annual-.

It looks like the Catholics don't consider any interest to be usurious, only excessive interest (which leaves a lot of wiggle room).

That doesn't at all read as being forbidden. It reads like Jesus giving advice to people to give freely and not expect anything return. Not seeing any Thou Shalt Not's or other sternly worded proclamations. Which is probably why a

Won't be long until the Government puts themselves in charge of this, making sure you only communicate with approved sources. For the children, of course. And terrorists, or something.

> Christianity forbids usury as well I don't believe this is correct. Admittedly I'm agnostic though, so I may be mistaken. But I've studied the subject quite a bit as an outsider.

I never brought up sex. I asked for some examples of genders that aren't man/woman, and then for a description of how one transitions from one of those to another. Nobody seems prepared to answer that question, yet it is a require

"You'll own nothing and be happy" They just can't stop themselves from saying the quiet part out loud.

> Latinx was invented by white people to alleviate their own guilt. Doesn't that describe pretty much all of this nonsense though?

This is 100% incorrect. They do not pay all of their players the same. The better players make more money.

That's simply not true. If I see an apple and someone tells me I must refer to it as an orange because that is what they want to pretend it to be, then the best course of action is to either tell them that it is in fact an orange, or t

Which is why I brought up how miserable they all seem to be. All they do is bitch and whine and complain about life, but then they sit at home and do...nothing? This is an entirely solvable problem.

One could argue that it creates an incredible imposition on logically oriented individuals to tell them that they are bigots if they're not willing to play pretend.

Well, they're not in the workforce, which was the point. What they're doing with all of their free time almost doesn't matter. Well, until they start bitching about how they don't make enough money and can never buy a ho

I think that's the issue though right? If we accept that it won't necessarily make sense or follow any logical consistent rules because its subjective, then how exactly can we expect other to take it seriously? I'm not trying

> The types are not important, imo. IMO, they are. How else can we explain it if we can't define it?

by yucky 4y ago
Yes, I'm sure there are some men that do it. There is no data to indicate that the MILLIONS of men disappearing from the workforce are supporting themselves from OnlyFans. So we're back to the original question again.

So then what you're describing is essentially just another word for personality? Also, I said nothing about sex. I said I understand the genders man and woman. I don't understand any of these (50+? More?) other genders. So I was h

by yucky 4y ago
Well, yes. Considering this is a NEW development, listing a bunch of things that aren't new doesn't exactly answer the question, does it? That leaves your argument consisting of...OnlyFans?

More evidence every day that the unipolar world of the last 30 years is splitting into a multipolar world. This will only give more reason to China to sidle up closer to Russia. Here in the West we have this impression that it's essent

That only applies to TV broadcasting rights agreements between teams, it's nothing like the actual league antitrust arrangement MLB has. This is why you always see competing leagues springing up in football, but not baseball.

by yucky 4y ago
I don't believe this is correct, which is why competing leagues pop up every few years. You might be thinking of Major League Baseball?

My agreement is with the IRS, not Accenture. The IRS is 100% responsible.
