Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.
Okay, honestly? Hear me out because as an European one thing stood out to me.
Why didn’t NYPD catch him? Because he fled using… public communication transportation. It’s too out of this world for them to be able to track him down. No protocols. No nothing. Because nobody, ever, uses public communication in USA.
Edit: And it seems I am the bigger joke for writing public communication when half-asleep. ._.
Poland, 1,1% according to google, your point?
Both Japan and Korea have very specific cultures, and yeah, they screw their work life balance. IIRC Japan is currently working on changing that. But that’s their culture - part of their nation - and flooding it with immigrants erases not only bad parts but also good ones. Hell, look at Germany that struggles with immigrants as far as I know.
Maybe economically yeah, I rather thought culture wise where relying too much on immigrants brings it’s own set of problems.
Also, I know that what you speak of is normal, but damn does it sound bad…“come to us to work for pennies in jobs we would rather not do”…
My first reaction was that immigrants are not the solution.
But then, that’s USA…you all are technically immigrants so whatevs, maybe it is the way.
The hell’s going on in USA…?
Where I live I’m barely seeing homeless, and when I’m seeing homeless then it’s due to their own choice of preffering alcohol over shelter, so I don’t care that much (still getting them food if they ask and I have the means).
Does america not have shelters for homeless? Or do more homeless prefer deugs of any kind over shelter?
There is propaganda and then there is fact that nobody teaches their children about budgeting and financial responsibility. Do not treat credit like money you own, do not allow yourself to perceive luxury items as something you need, be mindful of what you can actually afford. Today people seem to have problems with these ideas - lack of education on the topic and aggressive ad campaigns by corporations resulted in that.
But while we cannot change masses, we not only can, but we should point this out to as many people as we can. Often all you need to notice something is for someone else to ask question about why that happens. And yeah, sure, maybe helping one or two people won’t make a dent, and even then these people may already be past saving or simply unable to pick up new habits. But if every mindful person tries to help someone else at least once, shift in society is guaranteed. And such shift will result, maybe, in actual change.
And, on a more flat approach - being aware of your own budgeting limits, spending power and how much money you use is not actually yours tends to radicalize people against the rich.
I’m going to be brutally honest.
No. You don’t need that phone to survive, solid but low end one will easily carry you next 3-5 years. No, you do not need to go for McD for breakfast - eat a homemade sandwhich. Takes the same amount of time it’d take to get McD served to you.
But today a lot of folk take a lot of shit for granted or worse, needed, and it’s pitiful.
Fuck, that also is due to corporate ads and framing. But people need to wake up and stop fueling this shit on their own. And stop blaming schools - this shit is for parents to teach ffs, like the rest of actual household chores.
Also I am not arguing for everyone to live frugally but instead to learn a mindful way of spending. If you actually have free money, money you own and not a credit, then sure, treat yourself.
I admit I lack the ground to stand on here, so I’ll back off. Most of my experience is more of me and people I know - I know I had sbortcomings and mental problems due to parents divorce, again know few people who were raised withoit father. That’s mostly what influences my view.
However examples you raised are hella interesting, but I also cannot help but wonder how these children grow up compared to 2+1/2+2 family. There are for sure differences - after all even higher amount of children bears high influence - but I wonder what these are. Will look for it later. Thanks for dropping these.
I do not agree that people in such kind of relationship are any worse for each other than in normal case. At least if they entered it knowing that it’s something that works for them. So i won’t dispute this.
About children tho…isn’t it actually proven that children need designated father and mother figure? I know of few people who didn’t have father figure and they are all kinda damaged. Though probably such family could simply designate two main guardians and treat rest as close aunts and uncles…so dunno, maybe a moot point.
The proper way is to respect the law and vote for it’s change, not to break the law and cry after a fact.
Probably lack of evidence. Escalating without evidence will give China political leverage.
I mean, yeah. But also not everyone.
It worked well for so long because it is a good solution. Allow users to block and let everything fly as long as it’s not a personal attack. The community will relatively quickly sort itself out.
Sadly, today there are exception to block button working >:(
Edit: Hell. isn’t BlueSky pretty much riding this today? People made blocklists and give fuck all about the less nice side of the site. And people who are intersted can keep seeing stuff.
Yes you effing can. It’s called block button.
Or, ya kno, to another AI center.
Most prolly another AI center.
I prefer the goofy ball.
even without real competition on the market,
Which is the effect of
giving the customers the best most experience possible
…
Yep, you are right.
Send someone sick with COVID.

Jump forward like you would like to do the jump to roll thingie. Now, he didn’t outreach his hands, so that means that just after photo was taken, dude perfectly bodyslammed the camera xD
Aaand have the worst aim possible when it’s actually needed. USA is known for guns, ffs, you had so many chances >_>
Transportation. Thanks…writing half-asleep didn’t work out for me. :/
