No abortion is MURDER. People who provide them are murders, people who advocate for it are guilty of crimes against humanity and should face trial.
Wow DO, is there anything you hate more than women? What they do to you?
It's a bit like saying that once tractors become commonplace in the 20th century that a lot of field hands were put out of work. In reality, jobs were eventually found jobs for most of them.
In the meantime, I'm sure that the AI which "took their jobs" will be spending money to support the economy in their place.
So many of the books available today are also released in "graphic novel" form. People generally say "at least they're picking up books!", but the problem is that all of the actually literature has been converted into imagery and dialogue, and very little descriptive text. Gone are all of the words that were used in the original to convey specific meanings.
I think there's definitely a number of factors but I'm going to die on the hill of "graphic novels are a problem, not a solution." It's like practicing archery by playing a video game.
You need to take some time and stop and think about just what it would take for you, personally, to look critically at what's going on with Musk. You can't seem to do it. Maybe you have too much invested in it. You are a flat earther on this. Take a breath, take some time and try to come up with what Musk would have to do for you to agree that he's out there doing Nazi shit because he's a Nazi. Musk is absolutely the guy whose wife walked in on him banging the babysitter and he said "it's not what it looks like" - and you're the one believing him, or rather allowing him to continue because allowing the reality to seep in would cause you too many problems otherwise. They call this all cult behavior for a reason.
If whatever you come up with keeps sounding too unreasonable, like he has to show up at your door with a signed confession and a Hitler mustache... then you simply are his Nazi bitch. Earlier you said "if I defend a murderer does that make me a murderer?" If you are defending one in a court of a law as a professional lawyer acting as a part of our justice system, then no, because we all agree that everyone has the right to stand trial and competent defense. However, if you are defending his actions, or defending him from the consequences of his actions outside the scope of professional duty, then yeah - you're the baddie. So change.
I'm sorry, are you actually arguing that you cannot call people Nazis, but only Nazi-adjacent?
You were not "defending a Nazi from an accusation of murder". You were defending a Big Lie that the Nazi produced - saying "no Elon says it wasn't a Nazi salute so it must not have been a Nazi salute". It was obviously an intended Nazi salute, and all the excited white supremacists took it as exactly that. Elon said it wasn't as a Big Lie, because that's the point - he has the *power* to both do the bad thing and then straight up say "I didn't do that", because honesty is only a virtue for the conquered. Perpetuating the Big Lie in the face of evidence is absolutely Nazi *behavior*. Please stop it. I realize that someone upstairs was directly calling you a Nazi and yeah, I understand you saying "but I'm not!", but I think you should look at it a bit more like they are strongly suggesting some of your actions are this Nazi-adjacent, which no one who still values empathy wants to see from you. You can stop. Being a Nazi is a lot like being an asshole - we can stop the behavior, stop protecting the false narratives, and come back to humanity, at least as long as we haven't performed actual crimes we will be hunted down for.
Thing is, it isn't just Auschwitz which defined the Nazis. It was everything they did up to and including that point. I would hope that we can get to the point where we name, shame and blame these fascists in America before we get to the normalizing atrocities point. If people are not allowed to do that, then we're going to get to the normalizing atrocities point, and our surviving generations are going to be stuck with that. We will be the enemy of the free world until we are beat down enough to break us.
Only fascists deal in absolutes.
So there's
We know someone's an idiot because of what they do. We know someone's an ass because of what they do. We know someone's a Nazi because of...
so lyft will pay the costs of owning an fleet? That alone will cost more then under paying drivers to use there own cars!
Those will become assets that they own (with depreciation). Super rich people love putting their money into things they can get at least some back out of, rather than "giving it away" to others who won't produce cash when squeezed. Apples and oranges. Plus, I guess if you look at things from the right angle, wages are theft?
It would put rocket engines on the economy.
What? I hate to break it to you, but the American economy is not as simple as "rich people have everything and are happy", in fact it's quite the opposite. Biden and the democrats "put rocket engines on the economy" in 2021 passing the American Rescue Plan by making sure that real people had real money to spend. For real. And all the right-wing media *hated* it.
Rich people are rich because they *don't* spend their money. All of this money that isn't being taxed from the wealthy is going to be tossed into banks or other direct assets, and the economy will be directly suffering for it, all while a higher percentage of what little the average Americans are earning are going to be tied up in more taxes rather than spending on goods and services. The right is quick to point at the stock market like that is the one and only indicator of the economy, but it's only one part of the whole like Trump appears to be learning for the first time with the jobs report from last week. Wealth transferred to the rich is wealth being *removed* from the economy because they are not active participants who are hoarding their wealth like dragons. Instead of taxing this dragon hoard wealth which is being held outside the economy, we are taxing the wealth that is active in the economy and reducing it. This will directly shrink the economy.
Scrooge McDuck was the villain.
What I said certainly doesn't apply to all Christians - but I fully believe it does apply to quite too many of the self-professed ones.
We know someone is an idiot because they act like an idiot. We know someone is an asshole because they act like an asshole. However, it is far too often that we know someone is a Christian simply because they said so, regardless of their actions.
You're the record holders for bible-thumping, how about "Judge not lest ye be judged" etc.
Christians are the only ones allowed to sin, because they believe that they are the only ones who will be forgiven. It does not matter if you sin, if you will be forgiven.
Now the scientific community has a real chance at bringing forward in-depth cross-referenced research and answer back to all those "un-scientific" beliefs circulting in this mis-informed, biased circle of selfish money-grabbing ancient business models. All on record and destined to jurisprudence.
What do you mean by this? How does this actually happen? The rich people have bought up all the media, and the current administration which they used their purchases to install dictates what can be "brought" anywhere, and threatens anyone who doesn't agree with them with a variety of horrors including against their family and peers.
It doesn't matter what a bunch of well-meaning nerds tell each other behind closed doors. They are an utter minority of the voting populace, and the current administration in hand with the purchased media empires are working very hard to maintain their ignorance.
I hope they do. Price fixing laws will come into play and that's a felony offense.
Who is going to investigate and enforce that?
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.
