  • I switched when the answers I got started to become bullshit. I’d google a simple question just to double check if it was correct, but it gave me something completely different. Something so out of the realm of possibility that I was baffled.

    I check the sources for the answer and they were not even related. After that I started paying more attention to how messed up google had become, and I had enough.

    Google scholar however is still something I need… even though I dislike American corporations.

    I used to work at a petrol station, that used to be part of an auto-shop.

    I was young and could barely a thing about cars. My boss, a grown woman, had worked there for several years, knew every item we had in stock, what they are used for and all the different names people have for them.

    Whenever we worked together, people would still ask me for help even though I was busy doing something else. They’d rather stand and wait for me to be free, than ask her for help.

    I’d make a point out of asking my boss for help with finding the items they needed.


  • I have a parent who will intentionally set his children up against each other to make them dislike each other. Why? Because he finds it entertaining.

    He would take or break something you had, and blame one of the other siblings. When he got called out for it, he’d threaten with a beating. Physical abuse happened, but not nearly as often as psychological. And it was all so he could gain trust, power or just be entertained.

    To me, that’s an evil person. Intentionally hurting others and taking joy from it, is pretty bad. But it’s a whole new level of evil when it’s your kids.













  • What does the word libertarian mean to you?

    Are you thinking of right or left libertarian, the most well known is right libertarianism? Or are you thinking of what America means is libertarianism, because that’s something COMPLETELY different than what the rest of the world thinks. We do not have the same cultural inheritance, and what you think of as libertarianism isn’t exactly what others think of it as.

    If we have a form of “true-libertarian” it’s basically the idiots driving around claiming to be a sovereign citizen. To me the comment you replied to doesn’t really give that vibe. He seems more of a “Yes, we need government intervention to prevent extreme negative outcome”. That doesn’t really match with a the simplified way you portray “libertarian”.
