I’d never had a gun before I joined the army After I got out I was shocked to learn gun without a safety were a thing. Still just seems insane to me even though I get why they don’t.

apparently easily.

whats wild is its already trademarked by Microsoft for numerous use cases and by Meta for this specific use case. I just don’t know how you don’t check on that.

well the right thinks anything that makes you not exactly like them is a crime. Including thinking and having different opinions and ideas. Therefore they do adhere?

I think you might be leaning towards the paradox of intolerance and the recent solution for it which has become very popular.

A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

This philosophical concept seems paradoxical but actually it’s been solved via another philosophical concept. The social contract. Hate speech in almost every instance violates the social contract thus putting those who engage in it in violation of the social contract. It is not being intolerant at that juncture to remove that person from society. It is not intolerance but a violation of contractual obligation.

It’s has been truly bizarre watching that country commit to communal suicide even as an American. You out Murica’d America.

when you delete your account it also deletes your history. I assume she isn’t a content creator so the rest won’t be concerning. The next time you login using your gmail it will just be like when you first logged into youtube.

youtube has a delete option that will wipe the recorded trend. then just watch a couple of videos and subscribe to some healthy stuff.

The growth here is all that really matters. Anything else is irrelevant. People should focus more on the success of this community rather than the failure of another. If your mad at reddit and truly think others can do better elsewhere. Here is elsewhere let’s make it better.

so a real question if a one instance decided to setup for advertising and used that money to pay mods would that be acceptable?

most of what’s happening in todays world is not a W for capitalism. Modern conservative thoughts on capitalism have long abandoned the necessary regulation of free markets we enforced for 2 centuries. capitalism only works if markets continually divide winners at the top. If you don’t bust monopolies then capitalism begins to rapidly break down. We’ve known that for a long time and only recently stopped. You lose all the benefits of capitalism without that feature. What we have in America isn’t capitalism really at all anymore. This whole concept that the government has no role in capitalism and free markets will always correct themselves is a myth and we’ve known that since before America. John Locke knew that he was a tax collector for the english crown.

they won’t they don’t care to go anywhere near reality. It would never fit their perception of the world.

I have a samsung flip. I cannot tell you how much I love this phone.

The president appoints multiple people on the board of the fed. But that’s about it. More to your point neither the fed or the president has any control left on the main causes of inflation. Principal of which is corporate greed. Every major market in the US is an unnatural monopoly due to the fact we stopped busting monopoly’s. Corporate greed would not be an inflationary cause but since there is so little competition in markets they can conspire without communication. Neither the president or the fed have any levers in which to do anything about this realistically since half our legislation is wholly owned by those same companies that hold control over these markets.

Companies very literally trained judges through continued learning requirements to not fight monopolies. The only bar for a merger today is a single question “Will prices go down” companies lie saying “yes” then it gets approved and there is no recourse or follow up.

They further make fallacious claims like “Monopolies don’t exist without government!” Which is a total farce perpetuated by the same groups. It’s meant to have people vote against their interests. Monopolies are an inevitable consequence of capitalism. It must divide at a certain point or stagnate.

I wasn’t comparing them at all. If one or the others interest happen to better align with yours then thats a happy coincidence. For all but 1% of Americans the DNC will better align with their interests and covers a far more diverse group of interests. Just don’t confuse that with your interests being priority for them outside of their need for your support.

We have two organizations that peddle in power. The GOP and The DNC. They are private “non-profit” companies. They have employees and everything and they are free to do whatever is needed to push the candidate they think will best serve their needs first. They both sell that power to clients. These days those clients are more direct and they collect through campaign donations, job guarantees, speaking fees, consulting contracts through families, trade deals, stock tips, family opportunities, Since Citizen’s United PAC money, and sometimes but rarely nowadays direct pay offs. The corruption is right in the open the difference between here and elsewhere is its all perfectly legal.

Sheep hear these terms from talking heads on tv and radio. Those talking heads don’t know and/or don’t care what those terms actually mean. They only care that the sheep don’t know what they mean. That way they can apply whatever traits they need to apply to them to illicit an emotional response they need, then apply that term to the entity or event they want to target. Then the sheep regurgitate those arguments to others convincing fellow sheep and gaslighting others with their stupidity. One of the reasons arguing with these people is so pointless. You may as well be arguing with a voice recorder they have no idea what they are saying and an appeal to logic is useless as they are incapable of such a thing. I’ve actually broke people a few times where the just begin looping and eventually they just break and devolve into racism or some similar bigoted viewpoint these pundits latch onto for their appeal to emotion.

I checked and am definitely a robot.

Not exactly what happened they made a bot that will take a limited set of commands but you not actually a mod. It’s more of a joke (obviously). All you can really do is lock and unlock and remove comments for people under a certain score

Furthermore, there is no contractual agreement on how or when they donate that money. So for example those companies might and likely will hold that money in trust to the non-profit. That way the company can use money as a hedge on taxes in future fiscal periods if they had an excess.

Just FYI this is a sort of scam. The company donates the money on your behalf and they get the tax write-off for your donation while also appearing philanthropic for PR purposes. that’s why they do it.

EDIT: US companies cannot do this in the US you can claim up to $300 on taxes. This is legit in the US.
