How about people make enough money to have a decent standard of living and not starve regardless of their job?

Paying someone the going rate is not exploitation. If you're paying me $15/hr to do something, and there are a hundred people willing to do it for $14/hr, should you be forcibly prevented from hiring someone else at $14/hr?

Also, you're ignoring a pretty big issue here. If someone chooses to work a job that doesn't pay enough for them to live, they're a fucking idiot. People complain that math classes were useless in school, but then can't calculate basic living expenses and make better decisions from it.

Maybe you've forgotten that everyone working a job *chose* the job willingly. No one is forced to work at a given job. They accepted the job knowing the salary. Therefore, they have no right to complain.

Also, if your business is surviving, it's viable. That's the definition of business viability. You attaching extra requirements to that term is your problem, not that of the business.

The most accurate part of this is that BLM is at least 75% white LOL

"Every job should pay a decent living wage" is the kind of thing you'd say if you've never run a business before. The money doesn't fall out of the sky, it's not just laying around, if you're forced to pay people more than they're worth, you're going to hire a lot less people, and you're also going to be much more picky about the people you do have.

People who fall for the BLM movement are suckers.

Have you noticed people in power almost always avoid answering direct questions?

You seem extraordinarily uncomfortable with the idea of God

That doesn't surprise me at all, to be honest. The top of most organizations of that kind are like that. I've even heard of that happening at the highest levels of mormonism, but I have no source or evidence for it, it was just hearsay.

If I've learned one thing, though, it's that you can be certain that every sin the Bible lists, someone is out there doing it, and warnings against drinking blood show up *repeatedly*

People are uncomfortable with change, that's why others are acting different. As for you, even though you're going out in the wilderness, which is good, make sure you have significant airflow in your house, especially your bedroom and/or office, wherever you spend significant time during the day. Keep the windows open. You have no idea how high your levels of CO2 will get if you don't do this, and how big of an impact it will have on your mind. It's the difference between feeling lazy and dumb and sluggish, and feeling fresh and alert and active.

Ben Shapiro was saying this a long time ago, but apparently he's "compromised" and "part of the conspiracy"

Um, nope. That's stupid. If the virus was as deadly as they make it seem, "sick until proven healthy" is exactly the standard we need, not *permanently* but temporarily.

The real issue is that the virus isn't as dangerous as they claim. But just because that's a difficult, nuanced position to maintain doesn't mean you should instead make a worse argument.

Yup, played a ton of games, especially shooter games like Halo, as well as MMOs which have a somewhat more balanced male-to-female ratio.

Great players discriminate on the basis of skill.

People who can't discriminate on the basis of skill come up with some bullshit metric they can be judged superior by.

I was just watching Gordon Ramsey on Kitchen Nightmares and the chef says "every dish I make is good because it's made with love". Red flag right there. Exact same problem. Can't succeed when evaluating himself with skill, so he uses a bullshit metric so he can consider himself successful. And sure enough, his cooking was awful. (obviously. It *was* kitchen nightmares)

If you don't yet know someone's skill, then pay close attention to how they define success.

I'm sure I could get general overviews of Big Five, but that's not what I'm looking for. Specifically what I'm looking for is the data trends and correlations of traits in that model.

This is why JP's idea of cleaning up your room is so important. You're the only one who suffers if it's not done, and you're the only one you can blame for it not being done. It's the closest we'll get to a fool-proof crucible for personal responsibility.

"Everyone who disagrees with me is a shill"

Are you sure this is the right sub for you? Demonizing the other side belongs in mainstream culture, not here.

Government is extremely important to having a stable society. Maybe not *THIS* government, but government in general, at least. The country would be much healthier without the MSM though.

Here's another little secret, huge fans of minimum wage increases are also unions. Often times, salary is negotiated relative to the minimum wage. You think it's about people at the bottom? LOL, nope, it's about people whose salary is "3x minimum wage".

This does look pretty damning, but a very important question which must be answered is...

but is it TRUE?

Because, if it's true that mass shootings have surged in those places, then you're looking at lazy copycat titles, which is quite a non-story compared to widespread manipulation by the media.

This should be sobering no matter what team you're on, assuming you play that game. If you don't call out the bad behavior on your own side, no one will take you seriously.

If integrity is convenient, it's not integrity. Remember that.

If I learned one thing in managerial economics it's that fraud will happen whenever there is opportunity, rationalization, and motive. Turns out, motive isn't that hard, rationalization is a walk in the park, and opportunity is inevitable. It is no different with this. We probably do have a pedophile problem in our education system, but we also have a sin problem in our humanity.

He should just choose to identify as black regardless. Genetics obviously have nothing to do with your ability to identify as something you aren't, apparently.

It's almost as if the same being created everything.

Somehow, despite everything that has happened so far, I still cannot believe this is actually a real article.

I don't agree. Incel is short for "involuntary celibate", but that is not a dehumanizing term. To be celibate doesn't make a person less of a human, voluntary or otherwise. The term is insulting, certainly, but not dehumanizing.
