American conservatives are trash and shouldn’t be allowed to make political decisions.

Popularity has little bearing on merit.

It definitely changes the options available to overcoming it!

A small club has a bylaw saying they serve no hard alcohol at parties. That’s a real rule that is enforced. But they can change it with an agreement, or just ignore it from time to time.

Something like acceleration due to gravity is going to happen no matter what.

Sometimes cultures have really toxic ideas on them. Probably all cultures have something. Like in the US there’s a lot of “the only emotion men are allowed is anger”, for example.

How do you fix that? Is there a general solution? Because sometimes it’s like enforced by the very people it’s harming.

But it’s all social. Made up. It’s not like physics. We can’t all decide that acceleration due to gravity on earth is now a nice round 10 m/s². But we could just decide working long hours is bullshit.

I’m going to guess it’s the same origin as “the cruelty is the point”. Some people just don’t want other people to be happy.

Also some people aren’t fact driven. Working fewer days feels like it should be less productive, so it must be.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

If it actually did result in republicans being crushed under a giant domino, at least we’d have that going for us.

LinkedIn is very useful for job searching and networking. I don’t post on there, but it was key to getting several job offers.

I’m not aware of any other professional social networks.

I was just talking about this idea with a friend. We decided it would be political suicide in the US for anyone to suggest eating less meat.

People would literally rather see the world burn than give up their chicken nuggets.

I’m not even hardcore vegetarian. I looked at the situation and agreed it’s hard to ethically justify eating meat. So I started eating less. I’m down to pretty much just “sometimes I get a pizza slice with a meat topping if there’s nothing good without meat”. Maybe I’ll cut that out too one day.
