Yes. Alberta’s unions should realise that this is the END of the union movement if they allow it to stand.

Hair clipper. Paid for itself in two uses. It’s been years.

Esperanto. Logical. Clear. Easy.

And yet homicide is so much higher in the USA than other wealthy countries.

It means “if Allah wills it”, so similar to “God willing”.

That’s surely accumulated wealth rather than the grey hairs?

At first I thought “oh, I wonder if my favourite text editor is affected by a similar bug, and I wonder what actions make it vulnerable.”.

Well, of turns out that the action that makes it vulnerable is installing separate malware with admin privileges. I will do my best to avert that danger, but I wouldn’t class “third party malware with admin privileges can replace part of this program with its own code” as a serious vulnerability in this software specifically.

What a silly article.

It’s called an analogy.

I no longer expect you to express understanding, since you’re so hell bent not to.

That makes zero sense logically.

Freedom of clothing includes freedom from clothing. By wearing clothing in public you infringe on everyone else’s rights.

Freedom of reading means freedom from reading. By reading in public you infringe on everyone else’s rights.

Freedom of speech means freedom from speech. By speaking in public you infringe on everyone else’s rights.

You see? It doesn’t make any sense and is actually the opposite of freedom.

Don’t try to argue that your prohibition as liberty. It’s nonsensical and the opposite of liberty.

Trump is a weak, weak man who is genuinely upset when people don’t pander to him.

You keep pretending all over this thread that you would be increasing the income of everyone. You’re ignoring completely that you change the tax system so that wealthy people pay more than at present so it’s not inventing money, it’s redistributing it. You also cancel a bunch of social security programs that it replaces.

Your sums are based on false assumptions and you’re just spreading your FUD which is itself based on ignorance and fear. Stop trying to sound like you know something about it when you keep multiplying the population by the payment as if that was relevant in isolation of everything else that’s part of UBI.

If you want to sound knowledgeable, first so the reading work of learning.

But I think you don’t want to learn you just want to criticise because you don’t like the idea of money going from rich to poor.

Tell me you don’t know how UBI works in design or in practice without telling me you haven’t learned much about it at all.

Take my angry upvote and get out.

I hesitate to ask, but how was he trying to stimulate himself that he ended up pissing all over himself?

So, basically, everything I said was true about you. I wonder why you spend all this time and effort trying to sound otherwise. Why not just say “of course” at the start? Or even “I see no real moral distinction between Biden/Harris and literal fascism, and will always find ways to blame Democrats for the evils of trump” it would have saved so much disagreeing with me.

I was especially amused at the characterisation of the only two real world choices for president as a false dichotomy! You’re so living the stereotype of an ivory tower theoretical communist.

Now that we’ve been all around the houses and you’ve evaded the real life D vs R question literally every time I asked it, I’ll just put my original point here:

I have the feeling that you would be inclined to deny the distinction between the Biden presidency and the trump presidency that followed it.

I don’t think you’ve proved me wrong in any meaningful way whatsoever.

You are unable to coherently make any genuine criticism of Mr Trump without watering it down to the extent you can switch blame onto Biden or the Democratic Party for it.

This is not because there aren’t extraordinarily stark differences, nor that you’re unaware of them, but because you refuse, despite evidence to the contrary, to shift from your belief that in politics there is black and there is white and there exists no grey.

Maybe someday you’ll realise that the real world isn’t perfect and that if it were, we wouldn’t need socialism or communism in politics anyway! Maybe you’ll realise that awful comes in different degrees as well as different flavours.

I think you’ll find that I’ve mainly been asking you questions rather than misquoting you, but OK.

I thought it was very very clear indeed what the two alternatives were for who is in the Whitehouse, and I’m sure we’d agree that they’re are theoretically much, much better alternatives like actual left wing parties, but no, I wasn’t asking you a theoretical question about parties that had no chance of winning in the USA at all, I was asking you about the real world. I’ll try again.

In your view, is it better for America to have a Democrat in the Whitehouse than a Republican, or not really?

Would it have been materially better for Harris to win rather than trump?

Would it have been better for Biden to win than trump?

And in your view, is it better for America to have a Democrat in the Whitehouse or not really?

Are you in any way able to criticise Trump or the Republican party directly, or for you is public enemy number 1 the Democratic Party?

I have the feeling that you would be inclined to deny the distinction between the Biden presidency and the trump presidency that followed it.
