Europe has many more Social policies than the US, but it is nowhere close to equally parts Socialist and Capitalist.

Socialism means that the Workers own the means of production, and there is no country in Europe where that is the case.

Social policies != Socialism.

Capitalism is better than feudalism, yes. The problem is that Capitalism inevitably gets to the point where it is more detrimental to the population as a whole than it is beneficial (Global Warming, Wealth inequality, power imbalances, etc.), and that point is now.

Capitalism did bring us many advancements, but we have outgrown it. Just because it did good things at some point doesn’t mean that there isn’t something better. We should all be striving towards better as a species, but we aren’t.

Also worked there. There is no McDonald’s that has ever allowed tips. It’s against their corporate rules. I even saw an employee get written up for accepting a tip, once.

He was a white collar working class guy. His work history is full of positions at various tech companies working as an engineer. It doesn’t appear that he was handed any sort of dynasty.

He was upper class, and he had better opportunities than your average American, but he was still a worker.

Maybe his family did, but judging by his work history, he wasn’t personally wealthy enough to be owning a country club.

If he was “owns a country club” rich, his work history would mostly just say “Owner and CEO of whatever country club”.

There’s no reason to work any sort of normal job if you have that kind of income rolling in.

Here here. I’m poor as shit, got no insurance whatsoever, 60k would be somewhat life changing for me. I would never ever squeal on a comrade like that, even for millions.

No way that he personally had more money than the CEO, from just looking at his work history. Maybe his whole family has more money than the CEO, but if we compared whole families against each other, the CEOs family would still come out on top.

This was my thought process, too. If they got a framed guy here, the actual CEO killer would likely or hopefully do something else to let the public know that they were still out there.

It was. If you go through the OP thread, one of the responses is a picture of the dialog window that this user clicked through saying, “these changes will be IRREVERSIBLE”.

The OP was just playing with a new kind of fire (VSCodes Git/source control panel) that they didn’t understand, and they got burned.

We all gotta get burnt at least once, but it normally turns us into better devs in the end. I would bet money that this person uses source control now, as long as they are still coding.

I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not. There are too many people out there that sound just like this.

To put the shoe on the other foot, how would it sound to you if someone on the Carnivore diet, or on the Atkins diet called themselves a minority?

It just doesn’t make sense, because dietary choices, are just that, choices. While actual minorities, like POCs and LGBTQ people, are born the way they are. They don’t have any choices in the matter.

Don’t get me wrong, dietary choices can be a super serious matter, and I am not saying that people aren’t discriminated against for them. I just think its wrong to call someone a minority based on any sort of dietary choice, at least in the same context that minority is usually used.

Humans stink, drool, and take horse sized shits, too. Great Danes are more loyal and friendly, though. I mean I understand not wanting to home one, but hating them for existing seems weird.

They are most definitely classifying any sort of anti zionism as anti semitism. They are completely different things. The Gazan population are also semites, so it doesn’t even make sense.

There is definitely the Nazi kind of antisemitism that still exists in little pockets around the world, but the rise of anti semitism that the media is talking about is mostly just people being against Israel’s genocide, and not people condemning Jews as a whole.

That TP looks great for removing the static from between your cheeks.

I do wonder how much of that is Russian psyop. I feel like the whole chapotraphouse thing was started or at least very influenced by bad actors and propaganda bots. That place was a shitshow, for sure.

Fur, anime, and CSAM groups have a not so insignificant overlap of members sometimes, sadly.

Lemmygrad and Hexbear most definitely do not tolerate homophobia, though, so I don’t think that user would’ve lasted long there if they were a lemmygrad user.

Ooh AviSynth looks really neat, I am definitely going to play around with that. Thanks for the heads up.

I will always support someone’s right to burn an inanimate object that they own themselves. I would think that person is an asshole, but would not feel threatened by it in anyway. I am what those BLM flag burners would consider a POC.
