That's the Free Market. Your skills to the highest bidder. Where are their strong libertarian values lol?
Kind of like a fascist would since they don't actually believe in a political ideology. They can be kind of hard to spot until it's too late. The core issue I have with Communists is that you're all so desperate for numbers you'll let anyone in, including fascists, and when the revolution comes through, all the real Communists mysteriously disappear and we're left with something that isn't Communism.
Death by a thousand cuts kills us all.
America was founded on the principle of no official state religion and has fought against it ever since.
Amazon made a lot of money shipping products to people and AWS to the tech industry. They haven't made a lot of money doing anything else.
Wow to the people downvoting you need to rethink your definition of informed consent. Julian Assange is a repellent sociopath to anyone with two eyes and an open mind.
The Old Testament is a founding document for the kingdoms of Israel and Judah that establishes their lineage from the original humans to legendary Kings. Plus a bunch of laws, instructions for worship and whatnot.
People just took it too seriously and now we murder eachother over our imaginary friends.
I dunno man, a first hand account of the decisions made during the worst pandemic in 100 years might be valuable. Oh and it's written by the dude who did more to stop the AIDS epidemic than anyone. Yeah, I'll have more of that and less of your 💩
"It harms men."
So does rat poison. You walk back no fault divorce get ready for a return of mysterious deaths of shitty men.
Remember VR in the 90s? First generation generative AI is that. Hopefully some of these dinosaur tech giants manage to collapse themselves chasing after it.
Liberals promise everything and deliver a quarter. Conservatives promise everything and keep it for themselves. Canada should see what the NDP can do.
Then the religion should adapt to the climate.
The more rigid and fundamental the sect is, the more likely children are being abused. Not just kids by the way, women and men as well.
It also applies to all received religion.
The religion absolutely has a component in the molestation. At the very least it provides built in authority, trust and respect for the pedophile. Beyond that idea that a non existent entity can forgive any transgression against a child and welcome you into their realm is disgusting.
See you in 10 years after you have a long heart to heart with Christ and he tells you to get back into the ministry and stay molesting children again.

Regarding the anti-Kobe bias on this sub
We all know about it, and we all see it. It's obvious. Nobody ever wants to admit it, but it's there.
People on this subreddit hate Kobe Bryant.
The first question to ask: why? Why do you all hate him? The obvious answer: you didn't watch him in his prime.
Likely explanation: I know that most of you are around 14 or 15 years old. That means you only got into basketball in the last couple years. So you never watched Mamba in his prime.
And because you didn't watch him in his prime, you try to compensate for that by diving into stat sheets and analyzing box scores. But here's the thing: basketball isn't played on Excel spreadsheets. The moment somebody brings up "true shooting percentage" or "win shares" I know they know nothing about basketball.
Kobe's game cannot be encapsulated by one stat. He's the second greatest SG ever, and one of the 5 best players to ever play the game.
So when I hear somebody say that LeBron James is better than Kobe Bryant, I laugh, because I know that anybody who watched Kobe in his prime wouldn't think that. Unlike you guys, I have watched basketball for a significant amount of time, so I know that Kobe is better.
You might be jealous of Kobe's five rings, or jealous of his status as the greatest scorer in NBA history, or whatever. Unless you're a Bulls fan who watched basketball in the 90s, or a Lakers fan who watched basketball in the 2000s, you don't know what real, cold-blooded, killer instinct, will-to-win basketball looks like. And there's nothing wrong with that.
This sub would make you think that Kobe isn't even a top 100 player ever.
So don't go spouting bullshit about players you didn't watch. Talk about your "greats" like LeBron James The Best Player in the World™, but leave the Kobe talk to the adults. Fair?
We examined the injustices of prison labor nationwide — and lay the foundation for a more equitable path forward.
Any Country that mandates that Prisoners work for little or no pay while incarcerated is supporting institutionalized Slavery.
I'm putting the ACLU argument forward as the Pro position as it is very well written and touches on all the points that I would simply be restating.
Have fun!
