I just read a story where a cop visited someone based on a noise complaint and ended up gunning the young Airman down while he was on a video call with his mother and gf… So from my perspective, cops are the danger.

When I worked in healthcare there were days where I clocked in at 7am and was forced to keep working until 11pm without any lunch or dinner break. Worker rights in the US are almost completely non-existent and the way some workers get treated is hellish
These days, profits growing slower than anticipated (but still growing) is framed as losing money.
Maybe, but I am boycotting all capitalist entities the best I can. If I need something I try to buy used or from worker co-ops or to check it out from a library or pirate it.
The global medical community had to beg the US to ban lead from consumer products like paint and gasoline for close to 80 years and our politicians kept taking bribes from lobbyists to ignore medical science… But did we learn from that and ban lobbying? Nope, lobbyists are now bribing politicians to ignore the plastic epidemic and global warming
Replace guillotine with imprison and lets include all the lobbyists, Super PAC members, super delegates, and politicians who accept money from foreign fascist states (like Russia and Israel)
Oh, sorry. Your joke went right over my head.
Eh, Dave Ramsey has some good advice but he also has some really terrible ideas so I strongly recommend going with someone else.
Clark Howard, the Money guy, and Jill Schlesinge are all many times better than Dave Ramsey.

Good point. They even have the same amount of number of syllables.
Also, Butterfly sounds too much like Butt-fly
Eh, for me, it’s more like: capitalism is a deeply immoral system so we have a moral obligation to avoid supporting greedy, souless corporations that exploit the labor of others. But it is important to note that pirating from small indie companies should be avoided. Maybe download the game to give it a try, but if you like the game then absolutely go buy it or donate to the creators
I lost a bunch of journals somehow when they made one of the bigger changes to One Note. I have no idea what happened and maybe it was my fault for not backup my data better, but I lost years of journals that I couldn’t recover (i wasted weeks trying).
Also kinda shitty of those companies to charge educational instutions
It really is, but what can do? Capitalism exploits everything for profit.
That is sort of like complaining that people think of the US when they hear “school shooting”: The US has something like 20% of the world’s prison population and we likely use complete solidarity confinement more than any every other (developed) country combined together… So the term is rightfully US centric because, like school shootings, solidary confinement is far more of an issue in America.
"The European Court of Human Rights distinguishes between complete sensory isolation, total social isolation and relative social isolation[30] and notes that "complete sensory isolation, coupled with total social isolation can destroy the personality and constitutes a form of inhuman treatment which cannot be justified by the requirements of security or any other reason. " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_confinement
If the European courts find it important to distinguish between types of solidary confinement them I feel like posters should as well. Otherwise you can’t blame people for defaulting to the most commonly used type of solidarity confinement.
And the US has far more prisoners than Europeans do and we use solidary confinement far more often.
As someone who is on the spectrum, I hope you don’t find this offensive, but have you considered that you might be on the autistic spectrum as well?
My first degree was in medical science, and it has been a while, but I am pretty sure our neural pathways are nothing like a Turing complete binary machine so it is pretty weird to try and evaluate people in terms of “human bytes”
I think this is more of a capitalism problem then a societal one. Capitalism creates extreme wealth disparity and since wealth buys political representation that creates a situation where our politicians serve the rich and not the people. Some people call this Late-stage-capitalism or terminal-stage-capitalism
Is it even possible to get a job without internet access these days?
Same. Here. I have a s21, but it is frustrating how little control I have over the device. Garbage apps like chrome are taking up a huge chunk of my storage space, but my phone won’t let me uninstall them.
Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.
