Barring any eye issues, I remove them always when speaking to people. I find it disrespectful to speak without making visible eye-contact.

It’s quite obvious who funds it. The media companies. Bit of cognitive dissonance going on between the two, eh? Go watch a commercial, buy a product and hate somebody should not be a mission statement. Some good folk out there pursue the truth regardless of the “very expensive” façade but they don’t live in the corporate/capitalistic structure of “very expensive”.

Good news. We need more journalists and less “media companies” in this day and age.

While investing money to create good documentation is the preferred way, I cannot trust it to be accurate in this day and age of cutting corners. It takes a bit longer but I’ll always look at the code itself to get me closest to the truth of what is going on under the hood.

Came here to say this. That movie showed me depths of fear I didn’t know I had yet, it could have had better production values.

I balk at the idea of paying to dump your junk in a landfill site. I pay myself but that silly system only leads to broke people having to dump elsewhere.

I always like that jazzy intro tune to “The Nanny”.

I’ll do you one better. All political/economic systems are just an extension of human nature.

I liked reddit but came here because I’m Canadian and am trying my best to ween myself from american products and services due to the american administrations newfound disrespect for my country. Also, tariffs.

Certainly. It was a myriad of complexities.

Hillary, Trump won because people were sick of the entrenched insiders like yourself. Your opinion means nothing.

A rose is a rose is a rose. I get your point though. Terms must be defined specifically in order to hold academic discussions. Welfare is called socialism by some.

Socialism in america only exists for corporations. “Hey bankers! Screwed up again? Here’s more money to play with.”

It was Hobbes who said…

“But his Lordship [tells]us that God is wholly here, and wholly there, and wholly every where; because he has no parts. I cannot comprehend nor conceive this. For methinks it implies also that the whole world is also in the whole God, and in every part of God. Nor can I find anything of this in the Scripture. If I could find it there, I could believe it; and if I could find it in the public doctrine of the Church, I could easily abstain from contradicting it.”

Evolution of human behaviour is slow. Right now we are all enmeshed in the dawning discovery that the current way we run society is falling apart at the seams. Just enter the core of almost any city in North America and you’ll see what I mean (and not just N. America). It’ll take a while to set itself right, or it may all just burn in a raging nuclear fire launched by a pissed off oligarch who does not get his way.

Definitely not forward progress towards a better day.

That’s a good quote! Thanks.

I’m starting to see that most Canadians are more interested in american politics than in their own countries politics. When a gigantic behemoth is wounded, and about to fall, you get a lot of rubberneckers. Sadly, I include myself in this list.
