This seems lazy to me. I haven't read the report but i'm also not the one writing an article bashing matrix. If i was I'd want to know whether my concerns are still valid, and as a reader i want to know whether the concerns they brought up still apply without having to read a whole other report
Why would 3rd party #2 even try if they just saw 3rd party #1 just get stomped in that way? Why would you start a business, a very expensive endeavour (monetarily, mentally, and temporally), if you knew how and why it would get driven out of business pretty quickly? In the scenario you describe, the pressure is for prices to be higher on average, with dips here and there.
Just chiming in to say that if organizations price fix, it's pretty rare a 3rd party can sustainably undercut them. The price fixers can agree to drop prices way lower, sell at a loss until the 3rd party is forced to price fix too or go out of business, and then resume the fixed price
And even for some types of image editing, terminal is way faster and easier. Some of the things i've done that are a simple command with imagemagick i wouldn't even know which gui app to install, let alone how to do it
You mentioned in the post about fans being split on this album, i haven't heard it yet but i can say i'm a huge fan of the bwomp sound with the traffic cone sax, so i'm pretty split on their music in general. I love the stuff that includes that, or is faster paced, but i just haven't really gotten into their other stuff. I'm pretty sure their other stuff is solid in terms of skill and detail, but it just doesn't keep me hooked in and wanting to listen as much
Also if you haven't already, check out too many zooz
Consider that patriarchy hurts men too. There's a lot of pressure to be a certain way in order to "be a man", no crying or expressing emotions beyond anger or happiness, gotta be tough, that sort of thing. We can and should liberate ourselves from those toxic expectations
Edit: i'm sure someone else might be able to word it better, that's just off the top of my head/how i interpret it
It's on the bottom of the page on web, it's a log of moderator activity. Can't view on jerboa, and probably nobody programmed a notification like that, either not having time or just nobody thought to
Also i agree that the mods are a bit quick to delete posts, there was a post about anti-abortion people or something that i was having a good conversation in which got deleted too
He'd actually be doing them a service, if he knew they would be enslaved and didn't make the experience so vivid for them.
Or better yet just outright saying "don't own people as property" would be nice, rather than saying it's ok pretty explicitly (not in all contexts, etc etc. I don't want to spend the hours drilling into the verses until we get to the part where the person is forced into saying something like "i don't know why god is ok with that but i have to trust he's good")
Edit: also those verses still don't imply that a fetus has moral relevance
A partially knitted sweater isn't a sweater, those don't imply to me that the bible is saying anything about the moral relevance of fetuses in those verses. If they do it has very concerning implications for miscarriages (he starts knitting them but then says "actually i don't want that person to exist"). An all-knowing god would know exactly which fetuses would get aborted and not put as much into knitting them, anymore than someone knitting a sweater that they know would get destroyed after they knit a few lines wouldn't get too excited about it either.
And for someone who claims to not author confusion, there's a lot of confusion around exactly what it's saying here about the moral relevance of fetuses, given we've both interpretted it to mean almost opposite things
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_abortion#Biblical_passages i think the perspective in the allowing abortion column is stronger. If everyone's set apart, no one is, so interpretting that passage as referring specifically to jeremiah makes way more sense. If it meant everyone, it would be easy to change the wording, or just add "and that goes for all humans" or something. Again, an all-knowing god would know a verse like that would author confusion
Also, it being before the womb implies that every unfertilized egg and lost sperm is another dead baby, which is just silly. It's more likely that if an all-knowing being existed, it would know which fetuses would develop to the point of birth and living a set-apart life, and which would not
Also, the implications of that verse applying to everyone does not combine well with the reality of miscarriages
Imagine putting cake batter in the oven and 5 minutes later saying it's a cake
See also: abortion in the bible and the value the bible places on the unborn. Iirc there's also a verse that says something about life beginning at the breath. So before you go on a crusade double check that your religion actually says what you think it does
Also, if it was such an important issue, don't you think god and/or jesus would throw in a verse that says something along the lines of "aborting a pregnancy is wrong"? If they're all-knowing they'd know it would be contested in the future, and 5 extra words in the bible would be worth it for clarity and to prevent authoring confusion. See also: slavery in the bible
