Both parties dislike losing? Guess they’re basically the same.

Removing a threat doesn’t have anything to do with justice. You can punish criminals to deter future crime and hopefully prevent more suffering than you inflict. Inflicting suffering for the sake of vengeance is wrong.

I was about to mention this too. The idea is that you invest it and only take out enough to cover your expenses. People typically use 4% as an estimate for average annual growth in the stock market, so 25x your annual expenses would theoretically allow you to maintain it indefinitely.

For reference, $40,000 annual expenses (including taxes) would require $1,000,000 invested, so that’s an easy reference point.

Yeah, it’s essentially triaging people in need. If money is the limiting factor for how many people you can save, then not using it to save people efficiently would make you an asshole.

It’s the literary equivalent of depicting one side as the chad and the other as the soyjack. It forgoes an honest representation to appeal to those who already agree with the core opinion and act as bait to people who disagree.

Something like that is fine for being funny, but for a serious issue it sidetracks the conversation into why the soyjack side is a strawman.

“Actually, the good ones don’t mind getting lumped in with the bad ones.”

Are we being serious?

I am so disappointed that such a modest claim like your last sentence is seeing such ridicule. I don’t understand how people here so deliberately ignore that “all men” statements invalidate people callously, including quite a few people sharing their own experiences in this thread. The best compensation they can get is being told they are actually “one of the good ones”.

It is unapologetic prejudice from a community that really has no excuse for not knowing better. Please continue to demonstrate how untrue their words are.

Yeah, I imagine this would be awkward much more often than it would be well-received. Most people aren’t trans, and assuming their costume is secretly a cry for help is likely to embarrass them. It’s the one time of the year you are supposed to be able to dress weird without people making assumptions about you.

Same for me. A few comments are unlikely to be persuasive by themselves but they are great at introducing me to new perspectives. It’s not uncommon with some follow up research that I do change my mind, and comments are what get the ball rolling. Especially true for topics I haven’t thought much about.

Voting provides feedback and a way to democratically determine something’s visibility. I would call it a stretch to say something is invalidated just because it’s unpopular. The only benefit to having a popular post/comment is better visibility. The points themselves have no value beyond what you personally give them.

Some people will filter what they say to exploit this system, but no system of even modest complexity would be fully immune to that. If there is a problem, it’s the users having poor judgement, but it’s beyond the scope of a forum sorting system to save people from themselves.

Haven’t used latex for any actual papers but when it was pitched it became pretty clear it was for power users. I just assume it’s working like they want it to.

Also, word formatting has a few options to determine how the formatting should interact with text that even has little example icons for it. IIRC I just did wrap text and moved it around easily once I was finished other editing.

The TOS can include things that a judge refuses to honor. Even if you ultimately only have a digital copy of games, purchasing them still gives you reasonable expectation of continued access absent good cause to lock you out. Removing access without a good reason is then effectively false advertising.

They said they’re out, sorry.

I certainly dislike Hasan but this doesn’t seem like a fair criticism. Assuming he genuinely is trying to convince people to embrace leftist ideas, it makes sense to use an actually popular platform. He could use something like peertube too, but using it exclusively would be unreasonable. Amazon benefitting slightly from his anticapitalist messaging doesn’t disqualify his arguments. Rather, he undermines himself with more significant controversies.

It seems like it’s based on portions recorded for the food type 40-50 years ago.

So they are going to run smaller than modern portions if people eat more now. Similar products should at least have similar serving mass, although there is room for adjustment for practical reasons like rounding to whole units. I’m not sure how new products without an early analogue are set.

They would be better off not judging people for any selected difficulty then.

I am sure it happens but it is illegal for restaurant owners or managers to take even a portion of servers’ tips.

I’ve had this argument with people on lemmy many times. People recognize tipping is a bad system, and use that as an excuse to abandon the people who are unfortunately dependent on it. As if the system will change by stiffing the workers with essentially no power.

BK has the impossible whopper at most of their locations, which is an innovation vegans/vegetarians appreciate. McDonald’s barely attempted with plant-based options. They even use beef in their fries.
