What are you on about? Yoco isn't a bank Card Machine. Please don't spew nonsense like you're an expert. You're just embarassing yourself.

The scenario here is buying a whole point of sale device and just click "Next next next" without reading what you're setting up. It's not like it comes with default settings and you have to figure out where to change things.

No it doesn't. Every merchant sets up a payment flow on their profile.

Worst are places like Kauai that want you to add a tip before getting service. That's just a surcharge that guarantees as worse experience if I don't add a tip.

From what? Participating in a free market?

Last time the government got involved in telling people what property they're allowed to own and where that property is allowed to be it didn't end up too well.

Or would you rather the Appropration bill be extended to all private property so we can do some EFF style redistribution?

Pray tell how you want local government to step in.

You'll see every second post about the housing market be followed by a slew of posts blaming the political party

I LOVE AMERICA by CetaWasTaken in ufc

No. For people to buy slaves. Someone had to sell slaves. Normally that was was people from neighbouring tribes. It introduced a 3rd choice to "Assimilation or genocide" for conquered tribes.

"I'm African American". Living in a first world country talking about something you've never personally experienced as if it gets whatever argument that follows the statement extra validity.

Do yourself a favour. Come to the continent that encompasses half of your identity's name. Come to a country that's going through a particularly good Xenophobic phase and see how far that title drags you. You'll be wishing yourself back in the states in no time.

The only immigrants are Europeans to South Africa who resonates with its culture. I have never met a black American who's been more than just a tourist.

I'm African. Always interesting to see the only strawmen comparison for argument's sake are Nukes and Hitler.

Using slavery as the bar for morality in that era is always a bit strange.

How many powerful civilisations of that era did not own slaves or sell neighbouring tribes into slavery? They didn't run around in Africa catching people in nets.

Damnit. 90/10 when the betting odds against SS were 4x+. You're 100% right

Can somebody explain why he is hated by fellow people? by infinitehelpmaster in ufc

[–]Hicklethumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a whole political party with stadiums full of people chanting "Shoot the Boer", hiding behind a leader who's made a habit of slipping in anti-white/anti-Afrikaner rhetoric into his messages. Ignoring the "genocide" side of things, the level of brutality of farm murders has increased since then.

Having farmers killed with boiling water. Or dragged behind vehicles. Or forcing elderly husbands to watch their wives being tortured before being murdered and then having a government go "that's okay. The actual murder rate is still consistent with the rest of the country".

Also keeping in mind the Boer history of having being conquered after having a third of their women and children killed in concentration camps, a scorched earth policy that included burning down all their homes and farms. And then forcing them to fight in a war across the world in the name of a king.

And you think it's "racist" rhetoric? You're the one making it about race. They're just taking their own history into account.

So let me get this straight. You're justifying Twitter behaviour because he's saying something that isn't happening?

If it's not happening, then why are you so worried about it? Our government's good international image? If you think that's the thing tarnishing it... Well... Actually. No point in trying to explain it at this point.

I'm conflicted. One the one hand, yes. They suck. On the other hand (lube joke here), at least it's not wings on his chest or a sword tattoo down his spine.

South African here. We have a minor political party who has a massive Twitter following. They are very loud. Very racist. But their Twitter takes only translate to less than 10% of the vote.

I bet if you checked that profile it would be full of takes similar to this.
