There's a recent anime called "The Great Cleric" that addresses this slightly. People with the ability to heal may charge crazy sums, and even the knowledge of spells that could help may be financially gatekept because of the wealth generated by healing.

No. I disagree on both examples.

Edit: And I don't see how Germans asking Germany for a ceasefire is an argument against my statement.

I think we, as a people, should stop demanding ceasefires when we aren't actually in the conflict. It's all just virtue signaling. The counties actually fighting can be the ones asking for it since it would actually be them having to follow through.

We aren't doing a genocide in Palestine... feels kinda wrong to diminish the meaning to include people not actually committing the violence while a large portion of their population protests any support the country gets.

It was slow, but I remember a major crack occurring watching Stephen Fry being interviewed when he paraphrased David Hume, paraphrasing Epicurus.

If God is unable to prevent evil, then he is not all-powerful. If God is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not all-good

Things start to fall apart from there. All the other Bible stuff can be explained away as being recorded by imperfect beings, but the core notion of a good God worthy of worship ends with the trilemma.

I think this is some 4d chess shit where they realize they can get a bunch of people to void their warranty on their vehicle by making easily bypassable paid service locks in vehicles.

The only way to stop this is with regulations.

It's important to remember that they don't believe this stuff because they are simply stupid, but they have a confirmation bias that many reasonable people would fall victim to.

When you are successful and have the weird version of modesty where you are uncomfortable taking credit for your own work but somehow believe you are a personal beneficiary of "God's Plan," your faith will skyrocket.

If you really believe in God and believe you are blessed, you'd be an asshole not praise them loudly and publicly.

I'm an atheist myself, but I don't think Christians who act this way are being crazy so much as consistent with their beliefs.

It's a baller move. It probably annoys the person at the customer service counter in the moment, but I respect it.

This really is it. I managed a grocery store for years, and the problem these companies have is thinking that the self checkout can replace too many cashiers. Note that it can take the place of 1 or 2, but really, the boon of the self checkout is to really function as the best express lane ever. It should take the heat off your normal cashiers and provide an option best suited for quick purchases under 10 items.

But what ends up happening is schedulers drop their usual front end down from 4 cashiers to 1 and a self checkout host and completely nullify any gains their customers would have gotten from the enhanced service options. People really do like self checkouts but resent the hell out of being forced to use them as a blatant cash grab.

Because you wanted to. You intentionally misconstrued comments to talk shit online, so I trolled you further to make you do It more. You can dish out exaggerated responses but couldn't just drop it when I made it clear I wouldn't be shamed by your crusade.

Next time, don't bother with the virtue signaling, just tell your truth and refrain from trying to tell people they support slavery or some ignorant shit you obviously know isn't true.

I'm not exploiting them. I'm buying stuff about 6 steps down the line from their initial labor. If you let yourself be enslaved by feelings of oppression by existing in a global economy, you'll perpetually live in the stone age.

If you want to do something about it, you'll have to go fight a warlord or slavers or something because refusing to buy anything with a battery I just not living in the real world.

It's anecdotal, but also widely reported by pretty much everyone who's bought a car in the last couple of years. I bought mine a year ago. Literally nothing but full trim on the lot, and they just took delivery the day before. My friend works for the dealer group, and that's why I bought from him, but it's been that way for a while, apparently.

Of course, if the dealerships want to report what they are ordering to sell, I'm sure people would be interested. The car companies might have the data somewhere in their meeting notes since they are publicly traded, but that would just say what's ordered from them, not necessarily where it goes.

Way to invalidate someone's personal life experiences there bud!

My first thought upon seeing this image was that it reminded me of tubgirl.

I would, but they probably would still mine it anyway to survive. Human history is full of people risking their lives for survival. We make the trade willingly at every turn. Diplomats can play the shame game with their governments if they want, but I'm no diplomat.

I'd like to see more rpgs with skilling systems based on use. Similar to what valheim and skyrim do but greatly expanded and pure. Like I don't want a single player level or skill point bottleneck. I want silly things like eating running and jumping to scale to absurd levels. I think you should be able to be one punch man if you really go hard on hand to hand.

And because I'm a gamer, and therefore hate myself, make progress slow. I liked how slow Outward felt when I first started and how little confidence the game gave me in my character at the start.

Fallout 76 has aspects of this.

I wasn't using the wireless functions of my router either.

I live here. I don't care about the environment costs in another country if their government doesn't step in to protect them. Whe used to mine super dirty in the US and its way safer now than it used to be. As the market grows, the demand grows, and hopefully, the countries most impacted by their own dirty practices will step up and help their citizens run cleaner operations with the added financial security. I'm not gonna act too concerned about it, though if the people actually impacted don't care.

They can sell them, they just don't want to order what people want to buy. It's actually them ignoring the legitimate intention of the phrase: "The customer is always right."

Whenever someone says that, this is actually what the author meant. If your customers keep coming in to buy size 8-11 shoes and you only want to stock sizes 12 and 13, you are wrong. The customer always knows what they are willing to buy. Some people can be coerced, but you can't make someone who doesn't want a truck for 100k buy one.
