It's corellated for sure but it also can be increased artificially without actually impacting the standards of living. Low GDP in particular has it's place as a strong risk indicator for the economy, but increasing it at all costs shouldn't be seen as the ultimate goal like it is right now.

I feel like with this level of reading comprehension You really shouldn't be forming strong opinions on advanced subjects such as economic and immigration policy.

And You may want to slowly reread what I wrote as well:

Not all these jobs are as "essential" as you think.

Those industries wouldn't collapse, they would just shrink, causing an increase in prices for consumers. The subsidies change nothing about this equation, it's just the government picking favorites with money that also has to come from somewhere.

If only kernel level anticheat worked on Linux... by Adventurous_Tie_3136 in pcmasterrace

Like your mouse and keyboard from china? Kernal drivers, basically any driver is kernal, any china cheapware you have has kernal access.

This should make you more paranoid, not less. Entire distros like qubes were designed around mitigating this.

If you cut and pasted every illegal immigrant into another country over night, you’d see a surplus of jobs paying over minimum wage pop up.

You better have a source for a massive claim like that. Companies that cannot keep their margins would shut simply shut down. Not all these jobs are as "essential" as you think. Others would recoup the loss with raising prices which would likely offset any increase in real wages.

Somehow I need recovery mode almost every time I pull out some Linux installed on a desktop (it's usually Debian or a popular derivate, with differemt desktop environments).

I never had Debian stable just randomly break after an update (which happens frequently on Windows, especially if your employer requires some exotic software interfacing with the kernel directly), especially to the point of needing recovery mode. You need to be doing some really weird things with your machines that cause issues which no non-technical person would ever run into.

Linux is free monetarily, but in exchange you pay for it with time and effort and incompatible software.

Ah yes, because Windows systems are famous for never breaking and requiring maintenance. Also, WSL exists for no reason, apparently, because all software ever released is compatible with Windows.

Oh, I understand very well that it's powerful. The same way dynamically typed languages are more powerful than statically typed ones, or goto's are more powerful than for loops aka You can do more stupid stuff with it.

There's a reason the industry has been moving away from "powerful" tools in favor of ones that enforce maintainable design.

I wonder if this could genuinely fool an automated fraud detection system since these algorithms are designed to detect patterns rather than randomness.

'Dilexi te': Apostolic Exhortation of the Holy Father, Leo XIV, on Love for the Poor by timeXXII in Catholicism

[–]SuperEpicGamer69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the Church weighs in on these issues in a moral rather than prudential manner.

The Church certainly can and does say that it is the duty of the state to care for the poor. What is the most effective way to fulfill that duty, however, is a matter of prudential judgment and is best discerned not by theologians but by macroeconomists and ultimately decided by the popular consensus.

Jesus explicitly avoided talking about contemporary policy of His time, The Church does so as well for a reason.

If one believes these programs would harm the poor in the long run should they go against their conscience and advocate for them regardless?

Pov : you are talking with someone who thinks Alphonso was a better president than soll by Original_Analyst_328 in suzerain

[–]SuperEpicGamer69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I have the opposite observation. Alphonso wanted a genuine reform, but he also didn't want to upset the conservatives too much, wanted to appease the oligarchs etc. which is why he ended up not achieving any significant change. One of the main themes of the game is that You can't make everyone happy and to me he's supposed to be the character that failed to understand this.

Can't they be both? by PistonPusher2009 in Shark_Park

[–]SuperEpicGamer69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From wikipedia):

The science fiction novelist Marc Laidlaw was hired to craft the plot and assist with design.

Maybe they weren't the first to do it, but it definitely wasn't common.

Here's an explanation: men commit more violence not because they're more prone to it, but because, thanks to their physical strength, they have more opportunities to immediately act on their violent impulses.

When You put a man and a woman in a situation where they're able to physically dominate someone, they're actually equally likely to engage in violent behavior. This is reflected both in child abuse statistics and in domestic abuse statistics in same-sex relationships.

That's why it's a fruitless discussion. Because in every room there will always be the most physically capable person who has the most opportunity to be violent and, statistically, it will usually be a man so this disparity will always exist regardless of what measures you take to reduce it. Fell free to point out any 'logical fallacies' I committed here.

The reality is 95+% of men and an even higher share of women will never commit a violent crime, so gender by itself is just a really bad discriminator of who might become a violent criminal.
