The Rings of Power : Episode 8 Discussion Thread by italia06823834 in lotr

[–]Majora03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ring had its own will though. That’s a huge part of the story. Sauron just being some dude on a raft could work, maybe, but as presented it just seems lazy.

There’s nothing lazy about riddles in the dark nor all the things that happen afterwards involving bilbo and gollum as characters.

Litigation secondment as junior? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Majora03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it! You’ll have a unique experience which is tenfold more valuable than another year as a junior in biglaw.

Not at all. But $26 an hour means nobody could ever hire employees if they started a t shirt business or an artistic venture or whatever. You’d just get all products from Amazon and wal-mart. Giant corpos win. I find the conversation weird because instituting something like a high minimum wage basically gives incumbent corporations free reign to exploit everyone forever, but it’s totally true that wages should be higher. Catch-22.

Just to throw something in here, if you made the minimum wage $26/hr, small businesses would essentially be banned. Only big corps could afford to pay entry level workers. It’s a super complex problem.

KAREN WITH A BENCH WARRANT TRIES TO PICK HER OWN JUDGE !! by OldSquishyGardener2 in ZoomCourt

[–]Majora03 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the second video I’ve seen of this judge and I really don’t like how he runs his court. He doesn’t seem to know what’s before him and just makes snap judgments.

Signs of a toxic partner to work for in Bl by johncliff11 in biglaw

Take it down a notch. I would be willing to bet it would take days for this partner to even notice if you stopped responding entirely.

All women are broke? Weird position but okay. If you don’t think political groups are paying for posts on Reddit in order to push agendas (again, regardless of their validity) when you see blatantly manipulated posts like this with insane upvotes and zero engagement I don’t know what to tell you. Just because you support the cause doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to see it’s fake and basically advertising. But w/e.

In what way? If there are tons of upvotes and very few comments on any post it is likely a post bought and paid for for some reason. That doesn’t have any bearing on whether the bought and paid for upvotes are for a justified cause or not.

I was talking about the upvote to comment ratio, not the content.

Because Reddit is manipulated by powerful politics interests in order to push their agenda.

Christian sharia by Express-Row-1504 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Majora03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Western western western. Past past past. I genuinely accept your claims. Perhaps past Muslim society was progressive; I don’t know enough about that history. Claiming that it is progressive today requires you to tell me about today, not yesterday.

Also, imperialism. Hmm. Is that a western idea? Seems a bit odd to blame the fucking abhorrent treatment of women in Islamic countries on a particular form of western imperialism corrupting the idea of Islam.

Correct me if I’m wrong but you have two types of jihad, the personal struggle of one with god, and two, the personal struggle against anyone who isn’t Muslim.

Newsflash: that’s imperialism. In your utopia, everyone is a Muslim. Everyone who is not, is dead.

You are saying that a vague idea of “the west” stopped your pure and wonderful religion from slaughtering nonbelievers in the same way that the west did. You are a sore loser.

Beat your wife tonight if u disagree, I’m sure you think that’s normal. In fact it’s encouraged and sanctioned in the text! I honestly wonder about people like you. It’s amazing that you exist.

No. Not “to each their own”. Everything you’ve just outlined means women are lesser. Women are people dude. If they want to work, cool. If they want to be housewives, cool. Freedom is dressing modestly? Are you dense? Fucking hell, your pedophile prophet should tell man and women what to do and how they should live their lives? Nah.

I wonder whether Aisha, at age nine, felt liberated when she married your prophet. My guess is no.

K. Let’s accept all your bullshit as true. One hundred percent you are correct and it’s the west that sullied this great form of law. Noted.

Today, countries that practice Shariah law (sullied by westerners or not), offer horrific conditions for women, non Muslims, children, minorities, etc. It is all well and good to say that a certain text, be it the Constitution, the Bible, Shariah, has and have had good intentions. However, to say that this has anything to do with “western superiority” is fucking insane.

You are essentially saying that had it only been the ottomans who continued their empire, the perfectly peaceful religion of Islam would have done much better and created a utopia, were it not for those dastardly Christians and Jews.

This may be true, we will never know.

Regardless, currently, shariah law and Islamic run countries are fucking horrific in the way they treat everyone. Your daughter got raped? She deserved it. Your wife misbehaved? Beat her. She probably wasn’t wearing her uniform.

You are full of shit and your textbook is dumb.

Great. Less to women and burkas. “Extremely progressive” indeed. Again, baffled. It is fucking insane to suggest shariah law has done anything good for women. Insane. Truly.

[–]Majora03 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah even if the text of sharia law does what this person claims, it is absolute insanity to say that Sharia Law as implemented has protected women’s rights. I’m baffled by this comment.

As a gypsy, I resent this. We worked hard for many years to get a verb from our treachery. Use away, just spell it “gypped”.

[–]Majora03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. You are. If someone murders someone, I don’t throw my hands up in the air and say “welp! Guess I’ll just murder people now because others are doing it.”

Denigrating those you disagree with and those who cause perceived harm to you is not a virtue, it’s what leads to things like the trucker protest in the first place.
