@jabberwock951 @tonymac5 Actually, no. Mandating an entire population takes a drug with no long term testing is an idiotic risk to take. Letting people choose to take it is fine.
If you don't understand this you understand less about risk analysis than I do, which is pretty fucking terrible.
@AtlasEmperor One person from a community is a lone sicko. The moment it is more than one person involved it has a culture. If a group(more than one) is not pushed back against it speaks to a cultural problem. Yes, priests in Christian church too.
@Bradley3561 @ThomasSowell He shot down the nature iq thing. Not that it is impossible to be true, but that it is impossible to test for in any meaningful way so you can't get knowledge from it.
@ThomasSowell I don't think his evidence that the civil rights movement slowed down prosperity is solid. To me it can also be explained by the growth being sharper at the beginning because of the low initial base then as they come up each bit of growth is more difficult.
@SAVoltolin @IndianaModerate You are exactly why socialism does not work. You are just making up definitions to suit you. How are people supposed to choose how and where to allocate resources when people can't even agree on definitions? If you were in an actual socialist community you would get booted out.
@SAVoltolin Nobody is against voluntary socialism or communism. But once your group gets big enough it will likely tear itself apart. Unless you are in a magical group where everyone shares the exact same values and desires.
@Kaimandante I've never heard anyone say that is rule #1
It might be good advice to a limited extent in certain domains, but I've only ever heard anything resembling that in something like a pep talk.
Today I'm seeing a lot of 'steer clear of cluster B' posts. And the comments are exactly the same as when people used to post that 'how to identify a narcissist' shit.
You and your ex didn't work out, maybe one of you is an asshole. Bleh
@ajanbahu1 @SarahTheHaider I see tons of truck drivers, couriers and whatnot. To be honest the only thing that has pissed me off enough times to think it might be a thing is the way some stare at South Asian women I'm with. My wife is half Paki and her and her cousins get starred at all creepy.
