  • Hexbear seems a little passive, they could be a little more aggressive in their interactions. Also they don't include enough random spam and shit posting when they find a thread they want to interact with. What's really sad though is that they only tend to engage with one or two representatives instead of sending every user on their server into the thread.

  • I used to get some very good games out of discount bins and off the bulk used shelves. Lots of games that didn't get the a-list treatment in advertising or were from smaller studios. You could pick up 5-6 games for $30 so it was worth the risk of buying them based solely on the cover.

  • Fermentation is unlikely to create something that will cause worse than mild stomach issues. For homemade alcohol to be really dangerous you have to distill it and distillation without a license is already a federal felony.

  • My mind can't comprehend those walking and biking numbers. The walking is about 70 miles a day. That's more than double the average distance of a one day ultra marathon done everyday for a month and a half. The biking distance is about 255 miles a day. Roughly 2.5x the average daily distance for the Tour de France. I want to meet the people who can do that.

  • That corrupt people using positions of power to harm others should be brutally murdered in the streets? That's what I got from the books. Maybe most people who use that symbol have read different books though, they do seem to have gotten a different message.

  • He's pro choice and proposed federal legislation to guarantee the right to both medication and surgical abortion and to require insurance to cover it. He has sponsored bills to protect IVF and other reproductive treatment, to give everyone paid sick leave specifically including parents taking leave to care for sick children, to expand Medicare to cover all citizens.

    I'm not sure how much more he can support the right to bodily autonomy.

  • The lyric is "I owe my soul to the company store". Sold requires a conscious choice, willingly entering into the agreement. Under a company script system children are forced into labor as early as possible to help pay the family debt. In less than a generation teenagers are given the "choice" to go to work or see their families already meager income reduced to cover "their portion" of the family debt.

  • The criticism isn't about a fair fight, it's about the unnecessary cruelty in the treatment of the animal. An important part of hunting ethics is minimizing the suffering of the prey. Kills should be as quick and efficient as possible.

  • Generally C-level employees and officers are prohibited from selling for several months after an IPO. The restriction is common for a couple of reasons. First is it protects initial investors from added risk of the sale by the people running the company being perceived as a red flag causing a significant drop in the stock price. Second it protects the C-level employees and officers from the appearance of insider trading.

    The SEC has rules in place on how high level management can trade in the stocks for their own companies to make it difficult for them to trade on non-public information. A large stock sale shortly after a significant event like an IPO can trigger an investigation. To sale the shares legally before a 90 day cool down had passed they would have needed to file a notice of the sale with the SEC and provided justification for not observing the cool down period.

  • Socrates answered this. If morality is objective or has an objective basis then it is necessarily independent from any God or god's.

    Edit to add: If you're interested in the concept of an evil God in the context of Christian beliefs I recommend reading "Answer to Job" by Carl Jung. He doesn't exactly make the Christian God evil but ascribes moral failings to God and frames Jesus as the redemption of God instead of the redemption of man.
