How do you account for slaves that don’t do manual labor? How do you account for slaves in gilded cages? It’s not how we usually see it, but a scholar could be a slave.

And profits were maximized with better working conditions and / or the lie you were not being exploited and could reap the fruits of your labor.

Isn’t the idea of owning humans just a fad in the history of civilization? Pure subjugation by force died down and we started experimenting with different forms of exploitation and some justification.

Is it, really? Am I expected to research became someone else wants to change my behavior and don’t have the time to share the research they supposedly have done? We believe in a lot of things based on trust in the system. When you challenge someone’s position, you should at the same time challenge yours.

Maybe that inspired the show Common Side Effects.

Is it right to assume that the USA just refuses to leave once they have established a base?

You might want to add they are in the US in the description.

It was in Limeira, Brazil. It’s rope jumping.

How long have you tried Linux / Ubuntu before you left it? Have you tried other distros? Your issue is real, but the solution might be something more radical than a small fix. Maybe it’s too late this time, but try some options next time you decide to explore Linux.

Love is love, but there are differences, and they should be celebrated.

I always thought of steam as neutral evil for being a corporation, but that was just plain wrong of me. Compare them to Digital Extreme and the fact they accidentally created a lucrative loot box and prompt remove from the game. They actually called the mechanic a slot machine instead of surprise mechanic.

That’s my general go to too.

My current take about sports segregation is that it should emerge organically. As in, if a homogeneous group has so much advantage that no outsider can compete with them, the group should be then relegated to their own category or class. While there diversity, there’s no reason to discriminate against any kind of people.

Do you think that’s universal or only applied to the USA? And how does the article support your opinion?

Police on high alert, woman appears with a gun and is not shot dead on sight. She actually goes back inside to get someone else without being shot again for moving. Not impossible, even credible if what she was carrying was not a gun.

Please, don’t take this to a private conversation if it’s not a private matter. The topic you were discussing would benefit others and being open offers the chance for someone to jump in with a unique perspective.

Now, about the way you expressed your opinion on the assault received. I don’t have a degree in psychology, but I believe you shouldn’t so nonchalantly analyse someone’s behavior after just one interaction and you definitely shouldn’t treat it with levity (“to die on”). Also, personally, I think you should only advise people to seek help when it’s for their on benefit, not because you don’t approve their behavior. You might have had the best intentions, but the language you use is important.

Pelo que eu entendo, pedir devolução dessa forma é por causa de fraude, não de erro. Mandou errado, a pessoa tem que devolver, mas não envolve o banco.

You didn’t ask the same thing.

Thanks. I guess I’m just too isolated from mainstream communication.

I’ve learned people adapt really fast when you take away something they really want to have. In Brazil, WhatsApp blackouts were met with a rapid adoption of telegram. Meta knows for sure they can’t pressure the government through the population here.

Is it just my impression or is this another protest with a short notice? I think it’s really important to let people properly plan ahead and be involved before going to the streets.
