| COVxy 09/02/22 11:18:59 AM #15 | Mia_K97 posted... Oat milk is the closest alternative to actual milk, but the calorie content is much higher than the other two options. Fair, but I usually don't add milk to things because I'm trying to be healthy. I don't drink milk or add it to things very often. So for me that matters less. Like, normally I just drink black coffee/americanos/espresso. But occasionally when I'm feeling indulgent I want to add a cream like product in there. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

So people don't really try to memorize information if they know that they can find it quickly by googling. Doesn't really translate to "dumber" though. Just a different strategy (one that's probably more adaptive given the environment). --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

Yes, because the only reason they started to be called a groomer is because of the right-wing push to label the LGBT community as groomers. And the dude's erratic behavior was very fucking clearly a manic episode. Like, let's get people help, and not shame them for going through mental health crises, even if they are celebs. You just don't have any ability to actually think things through.

| COVxy 08/31/22 7:42:06 PM #106 | Alucard188 posted... So now we're regurgitating talking points. Pro-tip: i don't disagree with anything you said, except the bolded. Because while they are being exploited, if it puts them in a better situation than they were in before, it is literally benefiting them. When you're poor, it's just a given that your life consists of being exploited by others. The question is, pragmatically, what can i do to be better off than I was before. I wouldn't be where I am without accepting situations that clearly were not fair. But they got me ahead! If you remove those, before fixing the underlying problems, which is often what privileged people do or want to do after peeking their heads into the lives of the poor, you have not only done nothing to help them, you've ensured that they never escape poverty. It's easy to say "that's not fair, let's fix it", much harder to anticipate the actual effect that will have on people unless you have perspective. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | Push to lower age of employment to 13 years of age. |
| COVxy 08/31/22 7:09:38 PM #91 | Alucard188 posted... But there is nothing being taken away. They are attempting to lower the age of consent for being able to work. They are fixing absolutely nothing, and are exploiting young people for cheap labour. The pittance you receive to help provide for your family, in whichever financial situation they are in that demands a 13-year-old to work to provide for the family, is lost on the business owners and the government. There weren't enough social systems in place for your family, so you are forced to work or be homeless. At 13. Great fucking society you've got there. Denote the change that's happening here, with respect to a poor person's perspective. What has changed for them? Nothing, other than having the option to work if necessary. Yeah, systemically it's fucked, but for the poor person all you've done is give an option. But nothing about keeping it where it is, or pushing it higher, is benefiting the poor, unless it comes with additional social supports. So, just lambasting this change is showing a lack of the ability to put yourself in the shoes of someone who is poor, and might be thrown into that situation, with the world is it is, not how you want it to be. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 08/31/22 6:40:24 PM #78 | Funkydog posted... So your solution is to let children be exploited. Hey, i'd rather that than have been homeless with my disabled mother growing up! But idk.

| COVxy 08/31/22 6:36:06 PM #72 | Cleo_II posted... No child should have to be in the position to have to work to put food on their familys table. Wages have remained flat while our cost of living has increased. That is what needs to be addressed instead of increasing the pool of child labor to use as fodder. The fact that this point is flying over your head says everything about you. My point is to fix social safety nets before removing options for poor people to stay afloat because they are unfair. Most poor people don't give a shit if it is unfair at the end of the day, they care about getting from A->B. Don't remove their ability to get there, unintentionally of course, by making things more "proper fair". Big issue, when people who haven't been in the situation look down from a place of privilege. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Finding out that coffee and beer are actually disgusting are the most |
| COVxy 08/31/22 6:29:56 PM #84 | LinkPizza posted... I dont think that would just make them taste better, though The point is that when you taste beer or coffee, you think it tastes disgusting because it tastes ultra bitter to you, right? When you never taste any bitter, because everything you eat and drink has at least 20g of sugar, you are super sensitive to it. I don't taste any bitter in coffee, but do i taste nothing? No, because behind the bitter, there's a world of taste there. It's just being masked by the extreme bitter you taste, because you are super sensitive to bitter. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
