i had roommates in a city where you don’t need a car who would drive their car to work rather than walk a KM. If you asked them why it was ‘it’s too far to walk’.

right, anyone who says anything that disproves you is wrong and bad.
clearly throwing tantrums and calling people names is a thing only very mature adults too. toddlers don’t do that… ever


evidence based science conducted the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Let’s infect black people with syphilis and see what happens! They aren’t really people, so are like monkeys so if they die from untreated diseases it’s not a big deal!
scientific practice both past and present is often rife with racism.
but don’t let the facts of the world get in the way of your worship of science as a religion.


‘social justice’.
Used to care about it, but then I realized over time that it’s mostly bullies and wannabe bullies. And that most people who claim they are for social justice, aren’t. They are just for screaming and belittling other people who are different than them.’
I realize social justice is something you do, not something you say. And the people doing the saying are very rarely doing anything to help the people they ‘advocate’ for so much as they are using them as a soapbox to grandstand about how they are ‘good’ and anyone who isn’t as ‘concerned’ as they are is ‘bad’.


vtubers are just ugly people. they know they won’t get as many views if they showed their real face, so they use an avatar.


More clarity: modern libertarian was revived in the 1970s and blew up in the 1980s and it took most of it’s core thought from classic liberalism, but considered itself a more ‘pure’ form because it takes a more extreme take on the premises of classical liberalism.
Basically libertarians came from people who thought classical liberalism wasn’t extreme, or ‘pure’ enough to be a proper ideal theory from which to create an ideal society. They key figure in this is Robert Nozick and book Anarchy, State, and Utopia, 1974, which he wrote as a response to John Rawl’s 1971 A theory of Justice. Both are considered founding texts for modern political philosophy and political science. Rawl’s work is more in line with classical liberalism, but has socialist leanings, which pissed off people like Nozick, because libertarians thing socialism is bad. Rawl’s book was massively influential, far more so that Nozick’s work was.


No, classical liberalism originates with Locke and Mill. Niether of whom were anarchist, socialist, or communist. Those ideas came 150 years after Locke. Mill was the contemporary of the early anarchists, communists and socialists who all originated in the mid 19th century.


No.
Anarchists don’t believe in private property, especially government backed property rights. They are against the system of private property ownership and think ownership is a collaberative/shared process. Their stated political goal is the abolishment of private property rights. No individual can own land in a anarchist society/government.
Libertarians believe the only role of government is to protect private property and property rights. It’s their fundamental premise of their entire political system, as in government is constructed solely for the purpose of protecting individual’s right to their property and this is sacred. There is no legitimate government in libertarian thought unless individual private property is protected by that government.
That’s the massive difference and what makes them left vs right. Where they agree is that the government shouldn’t be dictating to you own you live your life or what you do with your property. They reach similar conclusions, but their premises on which they drawn those conclusions are radically different if not straight up contradictory.


in America you’d have to be in the top 20% of the income bracket to afford that lifestyle, and in high cost areas, the top 10%.


what about up your bum?


DST shifts make more sense for higher latitude than it does for southern ones. ironically.
I lived in BC. It did suck to only have like 6 hours of full daylight. All of which were during the workday when you were inside anyway.


pretty much.
the same issues all exist, they are just in the morning instead of in the evening.
if you are on DST in the winter in the north it will be dark at 6-8am when people going to school and work. instead of dark at 3-4pm when they come home. Everyone thinks they will be ‘happier’ that way, but once they experience they will be lamenting that it’s dark in the morning when they wake up and we should switch back.
Arizona is in the south, the daylight time shift isn’t as extreme. there is only 4 hour daylight difference, where as in NYC it’s 6 hours. And in Seattle it’s 8. In Miami it’s 3. DST shift doesn’t have much of an impact for Southern states as it does for northern ones.
But timezones are longitudinal and it would be bad for business, etc for Miami to be an hour off from NYC.


Define average?


Lots of people who are atheistic and urban are just as sexist and racist. They just don’t talk about it quite the same way.
I live in the northeast. Racism here isn’t slurs or loud talking about how bad people are. Racism here is calling the cops because there is a single black guy minding his business smoking in the park and it makes you scared. It’s passive aggressive bullshit.


Yeah, default assumptions of your culture/upbringing.
Like how Americans think everyone should be smiling all the time by default. Vs say, Germans who think smiling all the time is weird and they typically only smile at people they know. Those are very two different cultural programming things that often result in cultural misunderstanding and stereotyping.


Hating people by default for being different than me.


my favorite is they append the insult as conclusion. they make an argument and claim ‘and if you can’t understand this you’re a dipshit’. and this is their ‘flawless logic’ that shows that you are a dipshit, but definition of the argument they have made…


yes. they are the type of people who work 80 hours a week and treat their job as their identity/religion/family. and their entire life’s purpose is their career. and think anyone who doesn’t work 80 hours a week and has a life outside of their job is ‘weird’ or ‘lazy’.


i live alone in a two bed and I never close any doors.
I don’t even lock my doors when I leave most of the time.
No. But I’ve been accused of this sort of thing by people before.
