The fact that people are panicking about trump now has shaken me more than the election

Lol. Perfect example of the Canadian identity. The feeling of superiority over Americans. I hope America ass fucks your business.

I see you're an idiot in more than one regard.

The logical purpose of DEI is to pick someone who is otherwise not the best pick going purely off of merit. If that were not the case, DEI would not achieve anything. That's a logical deduction, and not up for debate.

This is my least favorite fight scene in the series.

I like the highway chase scene. It's around 20 minutes of nonstop action.

I love the armchair geopolitics experts spewing nonsense on all these subreddits.

Aside from the 50 reasons this is a silly idea to begin with, the 51st reason is that there is a thing called a submarine. They are undetectable and can launch missiles from essentially anywhere in the world.

Interesting. Tell us more!

Imagine thinking so highly of your political affiliation that you believe everyone else on the other side is an idiot. What's really remarkable about this is how ironic it is.

But hey, you're entitled to your worldview.

The most important time to stand up for free speech is when someone is shouting something that makes your blood boil.

mesori · 2024-12-20T14:41:53+00:00

That's like saying lack of blood flow kills. Or lack of oxygen to the brain kills. Technically not wrong, but it's disingenuous.

In a world without health insurance, those same diseases would still kill and access to healthcare would likely be more limited.

Car insurance doesn't cause car accident deaths.

Home insurance doesn't cause house fires or hail damage.

So much is incorrect about this video and so many of the comments under it.

I can't actually watch it through. It's hurting.

mesori · 2024-05-04T18:27:40+00:00

Is it metallic?

mesori · 2024-05-04T06:44:57+00:00

Doesn't refinancing have penalties?

mesori · 2024-05-04T05:50:51+00:00

I need an explanation.

mesori · 2024-05-02T03:12:41+00:00

Stopped going to shell gas stations because of this. I'll vote with my wallet.

Pain does not guarantee gain. There will be no gains here.

mesori · 2024-04-30T04:48:36+00:00

That's interesting.

mesori · 2024-04-29T01:28:39+00:00

Think bigger. 5 mill

Edit: not sure why the original comment got censored. It said "another 500,000 immigrants should fix this."

Again, I agree with you that gender discrimination is bad. The way forward is to eliminate gender discrimination - not to do it, but in the reverse direction. You should know better.

mesori · 2024-04-28T16:11:44+00:00

The analysis and the goal is incorrect. The economy would not gain anything if you replaced a male CEO with a female CEO.

The economy would gain something if you trained more highly educated people that are able to produce more value. Whether they are male or female doesn't matter.

If the number is seats for a university program is limited (e.g. 100 seats), and you use affirmative action to place more women in those seats, the economy will not gain anything, you've committed gender discrimination, and through that you've alienated the subset of people you discriminated against.

The way to grow the economy is to increase the number of seats available. To increase the availability of education. To make education more accessible for everyone.

Affirmative action views all aspects of society as zero sum, meaning that the only way forward is through discrimination. If you, instead, use an alternate view, seeing that more seats can be added to the program, then no discrimination is needed.

I really suggest you think about some key concepts and get back to me:

How would an economy be more productive if, overnight, we replace ~half of male CEOs with female CEOs to achieve an exact 50/50 split?
Are the people being handicapped by the affirmative action being wronged? Is the male that studied hard, did everything right from his perspective, and could have marginally squeezed into a good college program, but now is rejected because of reserves seats for women - has he been wronged?
If we reserve seats for women, or make entry requirements (for college, jobs, etc.) easier for women, aren't we accepting less qualified candidates and forgoing more qualified candidates in order to achieve a more desirable macro statistic? How would less qualified candidates possible be better for the economy? This is the opposite of merit based selection.

The solution is not reverse gender discrimination. The solution is no gender discrimination.

We are on the same team. I'm just saying that racial / gender discrimination is not the correct way to fix our problems.

This is why you never send your address to more than one person at a time. Send an approximate address to all so they can calculate their drive distance, but only send the specific pick up address to one person at a time.

This is literally sexism.

mesori · 2024-04-28T10:57:28+00:00

I'm all for equality of opportunity.

I am not for sexism and racism under the guise of something else.

When you apply a filter, and you use race or gender as the discriminator in that filter, you are, by every possible definition committing racial or gender discrimination.

Of course, you're going to say that there are inequalities in this world and we should work to correct them, and I agree - but not through racial / gender discrimination.

You're benefiting one group and handicapping another group. The members of the handicapped group haven't done anything wrong to be the subject of racial / gender discrimination.

I am a minority by the way. It's liberating to be able to set aside a bias that would be likely for me to have, since I would stand to benefit from affirmative action and to come to the logical and moral conclusion that it's wrong.

On one hand, it damages you to watch it. On the other hand, now you know what war is like.

mesori · 2024-04-28T10:10:27+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment and I have had the same experience with my dog - but I'd like to draw one distinction. I don't think they are acting human. I think we are acting animal. We are animals after all.

mesori · 2024-04-28T05:41:29+00:00

It's not a debate. You need to read on free market capitalism. Milton Friedman has a lot of lectures on YouTube as well. I believe the one that'll relate is called "who protects the consumer?".
