  • So just indirect payment via taxes then. So the bill still comes due.

  • Don't we like video games to relax after a hard day's work?

  • Any governing body of any form needs attention, particularly ones that have the power to tax.

  • Steam Reportedly Blocks LGBTQ+ Game Tag In China, Following Similar Censorship In Russia

  • Unfortunately in a lot of places anti-lgbtq isn't necessarily a class war, that is it's more of a culture war.

  • So hand over an extremely lucrative market to a competitor who's willing to obey a sovereign nations laws?

  • So $58.33 per month or like 3.65 McDonald's double Bacon quarter pounder with cheese meals per month.

    It's always worth making sure the union is working in your interest and not wasting funds but beyond that the money will pay for itself generally speaking.

  • My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at

    Jump

  • That's the cool part, this pizza actually sets the temperature for you so you don't have to.

  • It's that time again

    Jump

  • Hear me out, just start a religion where fireworks are a form of religious ceremony. Although you'll likely still pay tax on procuring the materials to manufacture the fireworks.

  • So is the argument that doctors and medical staff should be unpaid if the patient dies? Or maybe the government pays the fees if the patient dies?

  • Whoops, tee hee. Let's all just forget about that little mistake.

  • Flock says its cameras don't track people. Training videos say otherwise.

    Jump

  • We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoings.

  • Going out and meeting people I don't know seems to leave me quite rattled

    Jump

  • I don't want to discredit anything you're feeling but if you can manage it's nice or freeing to be unattached from the outcome of a moment, without desire for this or that to happen or not happen and accepting whatever ends up actually becomes reality. That's not to say you come off disinterested or bored towards whoever you're interacting with, but maybe attached to the moment the same way you might be to a show you enjoy watching.

  • Do you recognize all 300 continents?

    Jump

  • It's been interesting to watch the rise of essentially professional debaters debating with unknowledgeable randoms. I've seen it politically both ways. It would be nice to see a proper debate format, aka 5 minutes opening statements, 15 minutes main argument, 15 minutes rebuttal, and 5 minutes closing statements between two knowledge debaters on opposite sides of the political spectrum. It wouldn't be rage bait clippy algorithm inducing content but it would be a lot more intriguing.

  • Canada cleared to enter Eurovision if they promise not to sing in Canadian French (Beaverton)

  • Lol Beaverton

  • "influencers" are setting us back

  • It's a tough problem. Those who are intelligent typically do not want to be politicians. A problem as old as society, the best rulers are typically the last people who would want the position.

  • "influencers" are setting us back

    Jump

  • Most likely. I think we've lost the plot globally. Society was meant to increase the quality of life of humans. In the origin when a society or more so a town failed to benefit people could just transition back into hunter gatherers and leave.

    I think the other part of this is we don't need to be beholden to a political philosophy devised by people who were essentially unconcerned by the scientific method or not even aware of it in their time. That is it really doesn't matter if a policy is quote unquote socialist or capitalist or anything if it measurably optimizes the HDI, GDPPP, and environmental impact better than another policy. A lot of this political philosophical infighting seems more like a divide and conquer tactic than people collectively working towards a more fruitful society. I think we can step back from myopic world views and embrace a multimodal system that's a little of whatever literally works the best.

  • I don't think E-corps are structured similarly, that is if they are using a scientific method to discern their policies it's towards the end goal of increasing profits and market dominance more so than human and environmental wellbeing. So you may be right in one aspect but the target is totally different.

    Yes, yes they are

    Jump

  • Lol it's probably been about as long for me since I read it. That sounds about right. It's a good analogy though.

  • Cola is just herbal lemonade

  • It's just generally beneficial to be aware. Besides that, if you are interacting with someone who is bigoted in some way it's useful to determine which type they are. If they are just sold to the narrative then it's easier to open up their mind. If they are aware it's bullshit that just benefits them then it's pretty difficult.
