Edit: I can’t edit now. An extreme example. Is calling Hitler a bastard an example of political flame bait?
I’ve been on this site since the beginning. I change usernames periodically. I understand the desire to avoid flame wars. Here’s a sincere question. If I called Charles Manson a bastard would that be flamebait? Are we…
In honor of Sinead’s death it seems appropriate to tear to shreds the image of John Paul II. You are on the wrong side, morally speaking, in this Dang.
We have different perceptions of the reality of the man. I hope, sincerely, that you find peace in Him and not him.

I remember being outraged at her tearing up John Paul II’s picture. The media in the U.S. did a great job of hiding why she did it. I was not outraged at her when I found out her justified reasons for doing so. That was…
Then what was the point of the comment you originally made that I responded to? It appeared to be sarcasm and saying that if management only offer $0.01 raise then get a job elsewhere. That sort of simplistic reasoning…
Sugar is the worst substance for public health ever. It's literally poison. Its hyperbole meant to convey a sense of how bad sugar (particularly added sugars) is to the health of the population. Sugar is in everything…
Sometimes labor has very little pricing power for their labor. There are many instances of this being true. If you don’t agree with this then please read up on labor history.
My complaint is that people often times think something is fair because both sides compromised. That thinking is sloppy and incorrect. A deal isn’t fair because it involved compromise. It’s like when people say, “both…
In the original example I gave a compromise was made. Namely the $0.01 increase in pay. I claim one side didn’t really have bargaining power. Do you believe all instances of compromise indicate bargaining power on both…
Clearly you are not reading what is being written. As stated several times. My objection is your original characterization that the issue of air conditioning was fair because it was a compromise. Not all compromises are…
Pick a dollar amount greater than $0.01 then in my example. Pick the smallest value such that you believe it provides an example of where a compromise is reached but the compromise does not indicate relatively equal…
Given that quote, it does indeed seem like a fair deal overall. I was objecting to the characterization that the part of air conditioning had to be fair because there was an agreed upon compromise. Also, I think its…
> It is not fair in this day and age to require people to drive air conditionless vehicles in hot weather Why? Because my sense of what was is fair tells me this is not fair. To you it is fair. So be it. But it…
I think you didn't read carefully what I wrote. I will state the last sentence again. If it is infeasible to add air conditioning then that is a reality but the compromise is not fair. My overall point though was that…
I disagree. What would make it fair is that they put air conditioning in vehicles that service areas that have a high probability of being very hot during the summer. UPS should pay a price for neglecting the welfare of…
When it uses computers, networking protocols, the internet, etc. then it is a technology. The scale by which these virtual town squares can grow is something that sets them apart from real town squares. In a real town…
It’s been a long time since I programmed and was up to date about these things. In my eyes Mastodon means “Twitter” without moderation. The lack of moderation would be a problem. I have an extreme view in the sense that…
A social network has a duty to take reasonable steps to ensure that bad people can’t easily conspire together to do their bad deeds. Society has a problem in that people engage in shitty behavior. One way societies…
Much higher chance meaning it goes from something like 0.001% to 0.01%.
I believe your analysis is flawed. Children of rich people often times aren’t motivated to be creators or be hard working. It’s not easy succeeding since luck plays a huge role but what is true is the following: Smart…
Justice Thomas said (in 2001) that for the pay they receive no one would take the job if not for the gifts.
A local place near where I live have a 15% employee wellness fee added to the cost of the purchase. This money goes to the employee and is, in essence, a tip. There was no sign stating this fact. I found out after…
Needing to hydrate isn’t an indicator of impending heat exhaustion. I mean, people need to hydrate sometimes in cool weather. The Mayo Clinic doesn’t list needing to hydrate as one of the symptoms to be on the lookout…
