So do (did) Palestine
So do (did) Palestine
I can only speak about the US, but sadly, the unhoused die of hunger, preventable disease, and exposure all the time here. And unemployment does not cover a 1 bedroom apartment in major cities, nor does it qualify you for the outrageous requirements of most leases. You may be right about the status of the poor in the EU though.
They eat cleaner food and have more amenities than a King, but they certainly don’t live better. The point of the article is that the rising tide is floating a few boats wayyyy higher than the rest, and the overall growth does not justify the fact that people still die of hunger, get evicted while working multiple jobs, fall ill and are saddled by medical dept for life (US only), and shit like that.
MBA idiots and Economists consistently overestimate the abilities (and the underlying nature) of AI, because the output of AI is so much like how they speak: eloquent, confidently wrong, unconcerned with ground truth. They see themselves in AI, and they consistently overestimate themselves and their abilities.
You just said the word tho
EDIT: sorry, not trying to be snarky. You’re right, but your misstep points out the problem
I am truly sorry if I hurt any feelings. I honestly was not aware that we as a society decided that using that word is insensitive. I (34M) was sexually assaulted when I was 8, FWIW, and I understand that words have power. I just didn’t get the memo in this case.
What is the considerate way to title this post?
I’m not OP, and it’s literally in the title. Be an adult.
EDIT: I obviously don’t understand what the issue even is, because you just said rape. Is the word okay for comments but not titles? Or is the problem that you don’t have the reading comprehension skills to read the word in the title and infer the nature of the content behind the link?
If your delicate sensibilities can’t handle reading this, imagine how these prisoners feel. This SHOULD shock you, and maybe that shock will motivate you to action against it.
Most interesting definition, I think, comes from contrapposto. Can it die? No. So long as it retains its “shape” more or less, it functions. If heated or denatured, it no longer functions. More like broken than dead.
Wrong. Talk to him every day. Hang out on some weekends, and become friends. Plant subtle notions of egalitarianism through your friendship and generosity. Ask him thought questions about his beliefs, but not in an accusatory manner. Teach him to actually think for himself, to keep an open mind, to seek evidence rather than faith to form convictions. Slowly show him by example what it means to be a good person who cares for their fellow human beings.
Then you plant some drugs on him while at work, and call HR with your suspicions.
Enough. As in, don’t need more (total) than we have already. As in, we can slow the growth rate to roughly zero. This means we can have slightly fewer babies than in the past, or that more people than before are encouraged to not have babies without you jumping down their fucking throat about replacement rates and whatnot.
They implied there should be less children, not no children. Reductio ad absurdum.

We ALREADY TRIED this tactic when we got lazy and apathetic about Hillary, and that’s what gave us Trump the first time around. If we had showed up like we meant it in the primaries, we could have had Bernie.
When we sit on our hands, the wolves lunge for our throats. It will take decades to undo the pillaging of another Trump presidency. Good luck surviving to the next election (assuming Trump permits one) if you’re gay, brown, happen to become pregnant, etc.
You didn’t answer my question. What. Does. Apathy. Do.
True. Such a system shouldn’t be maintained, and we have the right to demand better. HOW is opting out of the democratic process going to do that? (Not rhetorical; please answer this)
Whether you like it or not, It WILL be maintained, at least in the near term. Change is slow. But Trump WILL be the replacement if your plan of apathy prevails. It really is that simple.
Didn’t answer the question. What happens in November/January?
I happen to agree with you, what we have is not an actual democracy. But the two options for change are working within the system, or tearing down the system. Apathy for the system brings no change. The single most misguided idea of your little apathy movement is believing that stamping your feet in frustration is actually DOING anything.

The door was opened normally by the driver, it was just forced open the rest of the way by the motorcycle.
