I dont know about you but I really enjoyed this policy as a 22 year old with 10 years experience vs a 30 year old bootcamper. "They have a family they need to support and you're more of a risk" I'm glad we have really innovative policies that allow businesses to grow like this.

>one of the best predictors of overall success in life

...define success? It sounds like you're implying wealth is a meritocracy.

I don't think stoic philosophy is going to do much for financial problems that break your hierarchy of needs.

Correct, you do not understand the argument. Even if it was made explicitly illegal, you can create your own "facts".

When you #define hippie whoever you want it to mean then I guess anyone is as greedy as anyone else.

how does giving an anecdote about a dating app experience presume anything about the OP?

>I'm a progressive liberal, but I believe this is hogwash. Many countries have a government issued national card for citizens. It's not a huge deal. Activists have made it seem like it's a way to suppress voters but I think that's largely BS.

Have you tried educating yourself on the matter? For "some" reason, there are large swaths of land where people have to travel 25+ miles and pay with their already taxed income just for the displeasure of standing in line at the DMV/etc.

Tell me how much of a priority this is to someone who might not be able to drive their own car, or take time out of their job for.

I don't understand why someone would front their statement with "I'm a progressive liberal" while remaining intentionally obtuse, unless they're arguing in bad faith to begin with.

bananocurrency — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 17:38:02 +0000

this is an interesting way of looking at things -- to compare the potential discovery of mind control to the investigation of a long time grifter. Your phrasing almost makes it seem as if there is just as much truth to each "rumour".

I feel the same about my EKG. What's a quarter second when it comes to measuring a heart? Who cares about precision.
