  • A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school.

  • Capitalism absolutely encourages and instills messages of “having things and showing disposable income means you are higher class”

    This is not by any means unique to capitalism.

    There will always be markers of social standing, even in a completely post-scarcity Trek-communist utopia.

    Blaming an aspect of human nature on an economic system is silly.

  • Which also is a huge thing capitalism feeds

    And you were off to such a good start, too. If only this didn't predate capitalism by several thousand years :(

    It turns out even in a perfectly egalitarian society people will still compete for mates, and where teaching malea how to compete for mates gets filtered through idiocy, you end up with toxic masculinity.

    Hell, if you're being totally reductionist (and if you get to be, everyone gets to be), then you're likely to experience more support for toxic traits in both men and women in an egalitarian society, because social differentiation becomes even more important.

  • ‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control

    Jump

  • We aren't anywhere near a "tipping point" with regard to tipping. This is just a small number of people not wanting to pay for things, and not realizing that if tipping went away they'd still pay the same fucking total cost.

    If your server makes a living by your 15% then the actual service you're being charged for costs 15% more than your menu price. You're just paying part later.

    Your alternative to tipping is just servers being paid out X% of food sold, which means that food is going to cost more.

    Being bad at math is no basis for an argument.

  • Hamas blocks foreign nationals from leaving Gaza

    Jump

  • He probably blocked you because you argue in bad faith and lie about your historical examples - like pretending Vietnam wasn't a war of two established, professional militaries just as Korea was.

    “You name it, I’m sure Israel would be on board with that” How about just releasing the Prisoners for the hostages and going home?

    This, for instance, is an insane proposition and you throw it out like it's the obvious good choice.

  • London set for massive pro-Palestinian protest demanding Gaza ceasefire

    Jump

  • It's less the factual nature and more the presentation and what is implied.

    Jump

  • How bad do you think Israel is at carpet bombing? Honestly, multiple weeks of carpet bombing, by any modern estimate, should dismantle all of Gaza. That very demonstrably has not happened.

    So are they really, really bad at it or are they not attempting it?

  • Terrorists come kill your family. You call the police, and someone replies "there's been enough violence." Meanwhile the terrorists continue to advocate for killing your extended family as well as numerous other families, and you know these threats are credible because they continue trying

    How sensible is that, to you?

  • About 100,000 turn out in London for pro-Palestine rally

    Jump

  • In London, some of the protesters chanted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, despite a controversy around the slogan’s meaning.

    From the article.

  • Jon Stewart’s Apple TV Plus show ends, reportedly over coverage of AI and China

    Jump

  • I am questioning where I supported Chinese government policies here?

    Because the initial concern was pay, and that's due to not understanding economic factors. I don't support Chinese labor regs at all.

    In fact I said

    "Companies that appease the CCP are the problem" which I also thought was a nice little pun, given the show being discussed.

  • Chinese people deserve jobs too. Comparative advantage is a good thing that helps everyone involved.

    The Yuan is currently trading at 7.32 to 1 USD

    Companies that appease the CCP are the problem, not companies that leverage exchange rates to better lives globally.

  • This is a moron's interpretation of what is said above.

  • Israel has bent over backwards for the people in Gaza, including offering multiple peace deals and land that was literally never "Palestinian" as their own country.

    When terrorists hide in civilian areas, the civilian deaths are the fault of the terrorists, full stop.

  • Palpatine returned through clones and Sith magic, explained at the end of the story

    The character Poe Dameron knows nothing about Force magic, which is why he says "somehow." He is working from limited information and is not an "author voice" to the audience.

  • Tulsa mom pleads guilty to allowing 12-year-old daughter to get pregnant by grown man

    Jump

  • Everyone in this case is just stupid, and stupid people aren't a threat to society, and putting these people in prison hurts the already-traumatized girl even further. She should be removed from the home and both adults should be liable for child support while also under a no-contact order until the child is 18 and can decide to continue it or not.

    This probably doesn't need to be said but Oklahoma is a shitty hellscape.

  • Lmao my town is in an uproar because there is no bussing for the high school, but my town literally voted to disincorporate (and won!) rather than pay a double-digit yearly increase on their taxes... to pay for bussing.

  • What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?
