So one of his examples is that he bought stolen goods and when they were returned to the original owner he felt he deserved them as well? If he didn’t submit a charge back he’s complicit in supporting this fraud. The vendor should have offered to sell him a copy for the price he paid to the scammer instead.
Good luck getting getting them to pay for a trans operation.
Cool. Not at all what I was arguing - too hard to see from up on your high horse?
I was hugely impressed by how well Caves of Qud handles controller support. Definitely worth a look if you’re interested in how these types of games can maintain access to so many different functions.
Speaking as someone who has been subjected to slurs and violence for who and what I am - why should simple exposure to slurs be where we draw the line? For me it was almost always about the hatred behind them; discussions about someone else’s hate for me are going to hit the same whether the words are printed or not.
I don’t think the word should have been censored here - either print it or drop the quote.
Nor do I think a report critical of someone using slurs is normalizing the use of them by quoting them. This isn’t the casual use of slurs in everyday language as a synonym for bad.
You might need to try a different therapist.
I can’t tell whether this is supposed to be advice on what to do or not. I can certainly see people getting upset at all of them for putting your feelings and perspective at the forefront however.
Thanks. That helps. I guess I’m just used to less precise usage, whether something is linear, greater than linear (exponential) or less than linear (logarithmic). I don’t often hear people talk about polynomial growth.
What do you think exponential means?
Is the primary that big of a deal? Given the limited time for campaigning it seems reasonable that the party appoints a candidate they can all get behind.
I don’t really understand though - we don’t have primaries here. We expect our politicians to exhibit the suitability for the role by convincing their colleagues to back them - kinda like they’ll have to do in the wider government should they get elected. The parties just publish their lists of candidates (ranked) and we just vote for the party.
Another concern is just where the labor is supposed to come from
The USA unemployment rate is currently below the long term average and they’re planning for mass deportations.
What are they going to give up doing in order to restart basic manufacturing?
It’s not surprising that people don’t show up to vote if they don’t believe they have a voice. Provide proper representation for them rather than the slightly different shades of purple on offer now. Allow them to voice the nuance of their positions and you’d probably have Kamala as the president elect right now.
This is just the trolley problem - you’re trying to force them to pull a lever when many people feel that the only moral choice is not to.
Give them a way to participate and they’ll be able to weigh the options.
Then work to change it. Your voting system is broken and makes millions feel disenfranchised. People should be able to vote their conscience without worrying about stupid political games.
I’ve criticized then for their voting behavior as well - that if they want outcomes aligned to their values that dictates a particular voting strategy.
But you don’t get to blame them for the outcome. That’s on the broken system, and the failure of the losing party to appeal to them.
They should be allowed to vote while incarcerated as well.
Sure, but one side seems to be advocating for more of the same shittiness we’ve had for decades, and the other side for a final solution to the Palestinian problem. It’s not like the choices are equal.
It’s the responsibility of the following car to maintain the appropriate distance, not the one in front.
Nice of you to highlight that you think traffic jams are worse than accidents as well.
I think most places would view such a refusal as grounds for disciplinary action against the lawyer.
New Zealand for example has legislation to address this: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2008/0214/latest/DLM1437864.html
There can be good causes to refuse a client, conscientious objection is not one of them.
Both graphs are showing the same thing - Russian currency weakening. Your’s just shows how many rubles it takes to buy a dollar (not something you want going up if you’ve got rubles).
Thanks!
I missed the site wide rules.
Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they’re probably violating it themselves with their moderation.
