Consciousness and conscience are not the same thing, this naming is horrible

I understand the sentiment of not wanting to pay much money for clothes you don't wear much, but SHEIN is an especially bad fast fashion brand with horrible working conditions and sometimes even toxic chemicals in the clothing. Just google SHEIN toxic, you'll find several sources

And especially the French, who just barely did not elect a fascist very recently, must be really behind Harris being beating Trump.

No no, that would be absurd. You'll also be turned away if you are not on the list if you're unlucky.

Here's a good visualization of the wealth the richest people on earth command vs pretty much everyone else: https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

suspiciously specific

If a character in a post nuclear apocalypse has a better diet than you, you should reevaluate your life choices. Although I agree that irradiated water is probably not worse than the 2000+ kcal Oreo milkshake I've seen

I once tried to apply for unemployment benefits for a period of 3 months between jobs. I now have a whole folder with all the documents I was sent. My application was, of course, denied.

It can, if some laws are changed. Which is possible, although the largest video game producers will probably raise hell to not release any control they have.

I wish, but I don't see it happening. Most people are just content with seeing ads absolutely everywhere, I just don't get it.

A billion dollars is so incomprehensibly more than anybody needs, no matter the size of their family, that there really is no reason to take these things into account. As for who decides what is enough, it's the people allowed to vote.

As for the donation example, yes, that is worse, since for every billionaire that miraculously donates some of their wealth, there are loads who don't. So better tax them all than hope that maybe a couple of them decide to be nice for once.

Welp, exactly. Fixed it.

There seems to be a fan at the top. It's a weird layout regardless.

Another thing I can never unsee :(

Holy shit I did not know his connections to right wing politics. And he is incredibly stupid too: According to wikipedia, he says he supports the CDU (christian democratic union, but they are actually non-christian neoliberals) due to having christian in their name. That's like being a democrat and supporting the DPRK

Good idea, will do tomorrow.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

And what, someone's account being new means their contributions are somehow worth less? They were not actively trolling or anything

Of course force may need to be used when people act criminally. In case of tax evasion, that may be seizing the amount owed and/or imprisonment in severe cases.

Say someone steals from a store and the owner demands it back, but the thief says "nu-uh", what then? Is it morally permissible to use force to get your property back?

Ah yes, the well known connection between "let's have a very high tax bracket for billionaires" and "let's literally go and murder rich people because I don't like them lol", you got me. Oh, and sanctioning criminal behavior with prison = psychopathy, got it.

I recently switched from Windows 10 to Nobara Linux and it's amazing, right now I'm playing gta 4 which only required some tinkering to work without issues. Highly recommended

This, also mbin
