The badge lets others know you're a masochistic

Is energy being conserved? Because otherwise you would have an infinite energy source....

Brazil actually held their coup actors accountable.

Is joining a union an individual action or a social circumstance?

I guess my point is that environment (social circumstance) and individual behavior is a gradient. Drawing a clear line between the two so that "individual behavior" is the largest share might actually be unhealthy framing as it takes out of focus how an individual might improve their circumstances.

Individual behavior basically includes what kind of job you're working, because that definitely impacts much of those other behaviors like sleep and quality of food.

People's political views are too diverse for there to be a moderate middle and this has been known for a while: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-moderate-middle-is-a-myth/

Jesus did not get along with the wealthy or their politicians.

It's simple really, facts don't matter to these people, only power.

Peter Thiel must be sad. I wonder if he was the one who hired Milo to trash talk about Loomer to Trump to get her off the campaign trail.

Providing context is a display of liberal bias.

Let's be real, they're not axing it because of diversity, but rather the two words that follow (Equity and Inclusion) are an anathema to share holder value.

Careful, people might start thinking you can teach Democrats to do better by making them loose.

You can't win the medium that is owned by the opposition. Bottom line is they will enforce their rules (and make new ones) against any successful leftist strategy on the platform. And conveniently ignores those same rules in regards to the right.

Lot's of good responses here.

It's not just money they accumulate, but the capacity for violence. In the past when money wasn't enough to get what they want, they sponsor a coup or a harassment campaign or assassination. If they have a monopoly on (state) violence then they can just give their workers company scrip in place of money to spend at the company stores for essentials. They've done it in the past and this time around it might rhyme with crypto. As long as their police have their needs taken care of and get some extra perks, they will gladly bust skills to break those pesky union upstarts.

Seems I guessed that right from the headline. There's plenty to shit on, like their soldiers being sent to the Ukrainian meat grinder. But when you see "country bans cheap food" or "country requires kim jong haircuts for everyone", don't be gullible.

Eztv is good enough for me anyways

This sub has really been cooking lately

It's the prior because it feels more like work to build a Rube Goldberg machine, even though the results are the same.

If effort is the only cost, then yes. If political capital in the form of bipartisan goodwill is your concern, they should not have fought Kavanaugh or any appointment where the odds aren't better than a coin toss.

Ngl, you had me on the first half.
