Sure, but if you think about it, isn’t this the opposite of greed?

Modern workplaces doesn't work. Too diverse. Like gay vs straight different religions, single parent etc.

Coworkers should date. It should not be a taboo. It should be a regular, normal thing that lots of people do!

Just calm down. Maybe it was auto correct. It turned my I'm not interested response to I'm not inserted.

“Not interested in working for a jew”
This kid applied to our job on handshake, we accepted him, and then he responded this.
He probably knows nothing about Jews accept for what they tell him in college and on social media. Sad world.

Let's not be naive, they already know whose using what.

[sheila @Fiery_Sheila]

Honestly it'll probably be are you over 18, yes.

[Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 @ezralevant]

That's the thing about making kids under 16 prove their age.

It's a back-door way to make everyone over 16 provide their ID, too.

Canada's authoritarian government wants to track everything everyone does online.

They're just pretending it's about kids.

Blind submission to authority is the result of propaganda and indoctrination, but it's also the result of bad parenting. Raising kids who aren't allowed to say no to you is raising adults who don't think anyone should be allowed to oppose their rulers.

That's mainly what you're seeing in the comments section of any viral police brutality video with people defending the cop's actions and saying the victim should have complied with commands more perfectly. All they're really saying is "Don't disobey Daddy and you won't get smacked!"

You can see their parenting in their faces when conversing about politics and news in person. Discuss the latest act of war or abuse with someone who's been trained to reflexively obey authority and you can watch them running calculations trying to find excuses to justify why the powerful are correct in this given instance, even if you're presenting them with brand new information. They never pause to reflect on whether their apologia is grounded in facts or morality; they begin with the assumption that the authority figure must be correct and work backward from there.

All the worst things that have ever happened were the result of people obeying authority when they should have disobeyed. Genocides. Wars. Slavery. Tyranny. Injustice. They were all made possible by obedience, not disobedience. And that remains the case today.

If you want to raise kids who'll help make the world a better place when they grow up, then you've got to put your ego in the back seat and let them say no and walk their own path, because you are teaching them how to relate to authority in a world where the authority figures are the villains causing all our problems.

Obviously you can't let your kid do things that will cause actual concrete harm to themselves, but most of the limits parents set on their children from day to day have nothing to do with protecting them from harm. If they don't want to kiss Grandpa then don't make them kiss Grandpa. If they don't want to eat this or that food then don't force them. If they reject you or hurt your feelings, don't put the needs of your ego in that moment ahead of your desire to raise a citizen who can defy authority when that is what's called for. The real material harm they cause by defying this or that social convention or going against your personal wishes is basically nothing, especially when compared to the harm that would be caused by training them to blindly obey authority in a world that is ruled by psychopaths.

It is absolutely necessary to set boundaries with your children at times, because you need to be modeling what healthy boundary-setting looks like, and because you don't want to raise a malignant narcissist who thinks the world revolves around them and their desires. But it is equally necessary to show them that their own boundaries are legitimate and permissible, because otherwise they won't set them in their own lives.

So many abusive dynamics arise from the erosion of people's healthy "no". That's how people wind up joining cults and getting trapped in abusive marriages, and it's how they wind up consenting to the rule of abusive governments who should have been overthrown long ago. Their healthy "no" was gradually worn down, first by their parenting and then by the psychological manipulation of the abuser.

"No" is an essential skill. Giving your child a healthy "no" is as important as teaching them how to meet any other developmental milestone like walking, speaking, reading or preparing food. That's how you keep them free from abusive relationships, and that's how you keep their minds free from the propaganda of the powerful.

@business If @POTUS @EricTrump pardon this goon, then corruption couldn't be any clearer. This individual single-handed bankrupt tens of thousands of Americans, including powerful ones who will turn on the President if they haven't already. Absolutely no reason he should be pardoned. None.

Has anyone ever managed to explain why so many of the best software engineers in the world are trans women? And why this same pattern doesn't show up in other technical fields?

Marx accused capitalism of reducing human life to money, but his own theory also reduced human life to economic relations.

The banks are going to get massively hit. No one will want their mortgages anyway because housing prices will go quite a bit down. Hopefully.

[David Parker @david_parker]

I still can't get over the fact that the Canadian government is not ashamed by the fact that they are giving people money for groceries. In any normal country, this would be an abject admission of total failure.

[Brandon Weichert @WeTheBrandon]

So now we’re totally in it. Don’t be fooled by the Pollyanna’s out there. Trump has not been wrong. I’m willing to bet that he was lying all along. He uses negotiations as a cover for surprise attacks. He lies about peace deals to keep the markets from crashing. He used a “ceasefire” to buy time for whatever remained of US strike packages to be deployed—undercover—against Iran. I, too, am doubtful that Israel could have struck Iran this way. I believe US assets either assisted or did it and Israel simply took credit.

[Wopavelli @TheWopObama]

In American slang we often refer to money as “benjamins” this is a subtle reference to Benjamin Netanyahu, an American folk figure who takes all of our money
