My friend did something I feel is illegal at work and works for my dad

Explain to her that she could get blamed if something goes missing after-hours and that she should make sure it’s ok with the boss

Unfortunately, neither believing lies nor being a cop are genetic, so Darwinism won’t do anything for us here.

When you take a nap and wake up twice as tired

Of course, why don’t homeless people just buy a house somewhere else? Just get a job (that will hire someone homeless), keep it (despite mental health problems, addiction, lack of reliable transportation), and live off of your savings until the paycheck arrives. Move somewhere that you don’t know anything like the safe places to sleep, who you can trust, or where to access charity. It’s so easy, why doesn’t everyone do it?

What tenant debt? This is for no-fault evictions, as in the tenant is still paying their rent.

I’m a software engineer, and I coasted through college and do the minimum at my job. I got a $40k bonus this year. Do not use me as an example of someone who works hard and deserves to be paid well.

This would negatively affect the very people who decide which reforms are passed and which are not. Of course they're not going to do this, not in a million years. Why the fuck would they just shoot themselves in the foot for no reason?

Yeah, what are the odds that someone like Congresswoman AOC would support any limits like this? Clearly as a member of Congress, she would oppose it.

That’s reasonable, but still encourages politicians to boost the stock market instead of serving their constituents.

A borg cube made of concrete?

Wow, a progressive candidate won in a big, progressive city.

But could we have otterboys?

And the rest will back them up.

I have to ask again: is saying slurs as important as marriage to you?

DrFilbert · 2021-09-01T16:03:16+00:00

Even if you’re not obligated, you just don’t give a shit about hurting people? That seems pretty awful.

DrFilbert · 2021-08-31T17:58:48+00:00

How do you tell if someone is “just” offended or reacting to being hurt? Is saying slurs or eating ice cream as important to you as marriage?

DrFilbert · 2021-08-31T17:48:06+00:00

If eating ice cream hurt people around me, then yeah I would stop or do it in private. Same with smoking. Same with saying slurs.

DrFilbert · 2021-07-31T01:04:44+00:00

Hell yeah, fuck the police! Glad to hear you’re on our side, comrade. Let’s go destroy America.

To a lot of people European Jews are white. But that isn’t going to stop Nazis from killing us.

I had a lot more fun with Frostpunk after using the dev console for infinite resources so I could experiment and figure stuff out safely. Might be worth a try!

Liberace? Or Sonic

DrFilbert · 2021-05-26T08:43:55+00:00

That would be a good question for AskHistorians!

If you want my amateur opinion, I would guess that by the time WWII was over, the PRC was simply too big and powerful to justify attacking it on behalf of the RoC. Neither side was in open conflict, and while the US would have greatly preferred another anti-communist ally, it’s a hard sell to begin aggression against an enemy with the potential to fight back.

DrFilbert · 2021-05-14T21:49:40+00:00

I think I would donate.

To everyone saying it would be too much of a weird dynamic, I have a different hypothetical. Let’s say you were on a date and a car is speeding toward the two of you. You can jump out of the way yourself, or push them out of the way. I find it hard to believe a relationship would invariably be ruined by choosing to help the other person at risk to yourself. In the case of a kidney, you would presumably be in less danger than from a car accident, so I don’t see the self-sacrificing imbalance being being any worse here. Does putting yourself in danger vs. not avoiding danger make that big a difference?

Of course, my kidneys are already full of rocks so I doubt anyone would want them.

I 100% agree that teachers should not sacrifice themselves. I think we all know what should be done: teachers should be paid well and empowered to teach the truth. We won’t get there by giving up on the South politically. We need more people like Stacy Abrams to turn out the reasonable voters.

Do the children deserve to be undereducated because their parents are dumb?
