Religion doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. They may just have been personal enemies.

What?

How? The money was spent and they're not making a profit.

How can it be money laundering if they're spending the money and not making a profit?

Inflation must have affected their costs. Made them tighten the belt.

How in the living fuck do you make an "energy efficient" stove?

You make it work under different principles. A lot of the heat from fire stoves floats away without doing much. Inductions stoves are more efficient. I think that's the idea behind these kinds of moves.

All marxists are hypocrites. They're in it for themselves.

Nobody needs a VR internet. Nobody needs Facebook to monopolize the VR internet ecosystem. It was a bad idea from the start, product of desperation over the social media site having peaked already and no clue where to go from there.

I'd rather live in a society where people spend the few seconds it takes to clean up after themselves, personally.

Me too.

The idea of redemption is a cornerstone of our civilization's foundations.

I'm conflicted about it. Nobody that I've discussed the matter with has ever changed their opinion, for either side.

In my opinion, prisoners should receive minimum pay for their work and should be able to vote in prison. Ex-prisoners should be able to buy guns and vote.

Interesting. It's the same matter with emptying one's food court tray in the bin versus leaving everything on the table. Many people don't do it, some people do, and some people say it's wrong not to do it, but there's a counterargument: In my country, there are people hired to pick the trays up and wipe the tables, just as there are people hired to return the shopping carts. Since the system is already in place, returning the cart and cleaning your table, if systematic, would cost low-skilled jobs. Is it really the right thing to do?

Intelligence isn't everything.

...which has led to a number of weird/funny stories that begin with "florida man".

Sacrilege.

What was the original post about?

I would call it womanly histrionics, but it's exaggerated even beyond satire.

This was probably REALLY mandatory.

I interpreted that as a rejection of extreme reactionary counter-positions. To "diminish one's higher nature" sounds to me like an appeal to reasonableness.

I'd rather have capital to start something new. I don't want to be a warden for zombie IP's in a company infected by marxists.

One affected seller said

Etsy must have thousands of sellers, if not tens of thousands. It bothers me that they just got a single person to say what they wanted for the headline. There's something wrong about that practice.

God is calling for martyrs, I guess.

I'm trying to be positive here.

Married to them.
