Most politicians in the West don’t actually care about humanitarian issues in China. That has almost nothing to do with why we don’t play nice.

Then shouldn’t it either be changed to “of any cause” or terminate after “dying”.

I don’t need the acrimonious screeds of a racist incel to tell me how language should function. I communicate daily, in English, both on and offline, and have yet to witness this breakdown of communication you’re decrying.

Unless he paid for it I don’t see how the two things are remotely equivalent. I’d take someone having thousands of vile images on their computer over someone who abused a child or animal even once.

Prescriptivists try not to be weird challenge.

The majority of Republicans, both voters and lawmakers, held the same beliefs as the rioters about the credibility of the election. I doubt the majority of people who are pro Palestine have much against Anne Frank, but you’re free to do some of your own polling.

Actually plenty of Nazis are pro Israel, it might even be the default position. Israel can be both a place to send Jewish people to get them out of your country and an example to hold up of successful ethno nationalism. On top of that Nazis would revel in the deaths of Palestinians, the bigotry of Nazis extends further than antisemitism.

Better that only you know than everybody knows but nobody wants to talk about it. Communal shame is terrifying. Here’s an excerpt from the story Guts.

This friend of mine, he waits months under a black cloud, waiting for his folks to confront him. And they never do. Ever. Even now he’s grown up, that invisible carrot hangs over every Christmas dinner, every birthday party. Every Easter egg hunt with his kids, his parents’ grandkids, that ghost carrot is hovering over all of them.

That part also confused me.

It was, I’m pretty ace but still enjoy lewd humor for whatever reason.

More of a bean-licker.

Non sequitur and you ain’t cute.

So reactionary, you going to start complaining about loud blue haired feminists next? Apparently it is too much to acknowledge those who can’t advocate for themselves, but perfectly fine to participate in their genocide.

The problem isn’t that AirBnB gets a cut, the problem is that they make such a process more efficient and accessible. Property is a finite resource, especially when talking about a specific area like a city. We don’t want to turn cities into amusement parks that the workers have to commute an hour to get to, even if that’s what is the most profitable. Housing should be affordable and available for the people who actually use and make the city run daily.

Amazing music tagger and batch renamer, for those of us who still have all our music as files.

Yes, some people being pushy and judgemental is the real travesty. Not animals having their autonomy and lives taken. I didn’t realize we were supposed to coddle people who we see partaking in grave abuses.

People also continue to benefit from the work of slaves in the past and even present. What’s your point? Do you think slavery is ethical? Is someone choosing to avoid products created from slave labour not a more ethical choice?

I became a vegan at a time in my life where I was close to being homeless. It might be hard for some people to switch to a plan based diet (veganism is more than a diet) depending on their access to a grocery store or food bank or people who can’t choose what they consume such as children, but it is definitely not a luxury.

If you create data with the intention for that data to be used with a program then that data becomes a part of that program and you are therefore programming when creating that data.

You’re implying that you would have been a customer. Maybe they lose some current customers off such tactics but if their stuff is being reposted everywhere a lot more people are s hearing about the existence of the service who have never heard of it before, and some of those will be new customers. Obviously many will find it distasteful, but most weren’t customers in the first place.
