The point of a driver's license test is to see if you're a safe driver. Make complete stops, obey the speed limit, and always watch out for pedestrians. That's basically it.

That's not how it was for me. There's plenty of technicalities they can get you on involving rules of the road. There's also stuff like parallel parking.


Rules of the road? This isn't a law exam. It's common sense.

Stay in your lane. Don't follow too close. Don't make a left turn in front of incoming traffic. Wait until the pedestrians have crossed the intersection completely before proceeding. Don't block intersections. Don't turn when there's a straight arrow that says you can't turn. Things like that. Parallel parking can usually make you lose a few marks if you're clumsy at it but it shouldn't auto-fail you unless you come close to hitting one of the cars.

Sure thing buddy. There's all sorts of dumb stuff like you have to turn your tires a certain way depending on parking uphill or downhill, be a certain number of meters from fire hydrants etc.

lmao none of that shit matters in real life, you can forget it as soon as you hand in your written exam to your drivers ed teacher

I'm talking about road tests

When you're parking uphill or downhill you turn your tires in the direction that if someone hits the parked car from behind it will turn toward the sidewalk instead of toward the street. It's a safety thing. But I would be very surprised if this actually shows up in an actual road test. Same as the fire hydrant thing, this would only come up if the examiner tells you to look for a parking spot and park, in which case you can't park near a fire hydrant or a garage entrance. Although I seriously doubt this comes up in driving tests.

Yeah, because I'm sure we all do that in daily life, right?

There were also things like you were supposed to take your foot off the gas slightly and look both ways when approaching a green light, among other uncommon things. I live in a major city so maybe the tests are more strict than where you are. I imagine if you're in a rural area it's pretty much you don't kill anyone and you get your license.

...Removing the cat's nails literally is the definition of declawing.

You could have its nails trimmed at a professional pet groomer occasionally, if you don't want them to be so sharp, I guess.

Apparently declawing is actually removing part of the bone.

The declawing procedure went horribly wrong and I faced a lot of backlash from SJW types. Isn't there any other way to remove cat's nails without the declawing procedure? Like when I had an ingrown toenail removed they put some acid or something on it to prevent it from growing back. Don't any vets do this? Remove the nail and put acid on it so it's permanent?

well, it's certainly conceivable that workers would elect to put a person in charge of making those kinds of decisions.

I'm confused as to why you think input from more people wouldn't give an overall superior result though

so you want to get rid of the CEO, have every worker vote in a new person that would do the work of a CEO, and then give that new person the responsibilities of the CEO with the compensation of the lowest worker lol

That's the basic rule of socialism. The guy sitting on his ass doing fuck all and playing video games all day gets paid the same as the people actually contributing to the society and generating wealth.

Could've sworn it was more along the lines of those able to work, work, and contribute to everyone, even the ones who can't work.

That's the theory, anyway.

People advocating for socialism don't want to work. Why? If they wanted to work they would be succeeding in a capitalist country instead of pushing grocery carts or whatever they do and complaining about high wage earners.

The Bourgeoisie is the class of people that makes money by owning private property. Their money comes from the surplus taken from workers, not from their own contribution. CEOs, Shareholders, Landlords, etc.

OK so here's my objection/question I guess. CEOs and landlords might very well do plenty of important things. I get that having money that makes its own money is frowned upon within socialism, but does it actually discredit the work that these classes do?

what work do CEOs and landlords do that's actually necessary for production or distribution of goods?


Love how people here think CEOs just come in for 4 hours a day for half a week and do absolutely nothing for companies.

Sadly when you're just a low level worker bee who doesn't understand the big picture, you have this cartoonish view of the real world.

Okay, this has been puzzling me. What constitutes work? How far abstracted from direct production of material goods does a task have to be to still be considered work in these examples?

The people who manage workers and assign them specific tasks and coaching in order to be optimally productive - are they doing work?
Human resources and staffing - does that qualify as work?
How about the people managing them? And so on, and so forth? How far up the chain do we go until we decide someone in a particular role is not contributing to production of a good?
How would this apply to the service industries?

this is getting into a discussion of social class, so I'll just clarify a few things.

there are 4 main social classes. they are not defined by how much money someone makes, but by how that money is made.

Working Class, or Proletariat, is the class of people who survive by selling their labour for less than what it is worth.

Petit Bourgeios, or Middle Class, consists of people who own small businesses or do administrative work for large ones. Self-employed people also fall into this category.
Small business owners usually do work themselves, but they still generally make most of their money by paying people less than what their labour is worth.

The Bourgeoisie is the class of people that makes money by owning private property. Their money comes from the surplus taken from workers, not from their own contribution. CEOs, Shareholders, Landlords, etc.

the fourth class is not currently relevant here, but I'll post it if it comes up.

so, those classes largely make up the system.

so, to answer your question more specifically: part of the idea of socialism is that workplaces become directly democratic. most jobs that are not directly involved with production or distribution would be cut, or at least drastically reduced.

Why do you talk like you're stuck in the 1850s in a Charles Dickens novel?

So in classical socialism, is the CEO considered a capitalist who steals profit from the workers? Considering that a CEO would typically make strategic decisions, management etc, wouldn't they be quite clearly distinguished from the capitalists i.e., people who just own stock and expect ROI?

But they aren't the ones pushing the carts and lifting heavy objects so that doesn't count

I can only see being okay with it if you have literally nothing else going for you in life.. and in that case, you're pretty much the exact type of person who shouldn't be having kids in the first place.

At almost 32 I still consider getting a girl pregnant to be the "ultimate fuck up" and I'd seriously be choked if it happens to me. Can't see that changing at this point. It's game over unless you have dual six figure income or some shit. Forget your dreams and wants for the next 18+ years, it's just about the kid now. With the trends kids will probably be living at home until their 30's in the future.

The girl I'm seeing is on birth control but I still feel like I'm taking my chances.

Do you use condoms too or just birth control pills? If you're doing both you're pretty much protected in all but the most ridiculous of cases.
