I feel ya, but what else COULD you describe someone in a single word that doesn’t seem to be able of forming their own thoughts?

The term is followers. The people who aren’t able to hold their own opinions are called followers.

But you could make chickpeanut butter

Assuming there’s tobacco, which is not a safe assumption.

Advertising one thing, and then bait and switching it is in fact not a good design

Yeah it is? There’s a reason your dns confutation has a backup IP address.

I mean that’s fair. It may not even be ego, might be money. But the point stands either way.

Sorta the problem with the joe Rogan podcast is that Joe doesn’t have an agenda, but every guest he has on does. Some folks think that platforming scumbags and allowing them to say awful things isn’t cool, and therefore refuse to go on the show, which means fewer same people and more insane. This then repeats until only insane guests are in the show.

Gotta make a new one where your micro transactions haven’t occurred yet

I mean, it would be in the US where OSHA is a real thing, cause OSHA is in the US, but in Canada which is, iirc, not a part of the US…

Yep

Just cause I’m a dutchman doesn’t mean I drink shit beer.

TIL I’m a dutchman

The argument goes, as a British citizen, you have and continue to benefit from policies that your government made a long time ago. Reparations are not a tax on you, but an expense the government should have paid at the time of the work, but instead it did things like kidnap people from their homes, transport them to where labor was necessary, and force them into work. Now, the people who are the descendents of the kidnapped folks are requesting that the bills their great great grandparents were never paid. To extend that, after slavery ended, many of those who had been enslaved were left disenfranchised, and impoverished to the point that there is almost no possibility of building generational wealth.

As for if this will open the floodgates or not, who knows. An argument could be made in both directions, it’s not as though governments paying one time sums to places is rare, and reparations for wars used to be pretty run of the mill.
