you’re worried about Elon Musk? the scam artist whose employees literally hide their work from him so they can get anything done and who does nothing but bankrupt companies he buys?

You saw how they handled the Eptsein redactions, right? They’ve drained the federal government. I wouldn’t assume any level of competence at all.

The thing about working for evil people is it’s not just the work. You’re surrounded by people with no morals day in and day out, so you’re never safe. Everyone around you will cut you down to get ahead- that’s the job. You’ll be forced to develop paranoia, no way around it. You’ll be forced to do that to others as well, and you’ll lose sight of why that’s a bad thing. “Everyone does it,” “it’s just part of the game,” “I had it worse before,” or “I deserved it.” It’s bad for you. I don’t want to be around those people, personally. If you have any critical thinking and empathy at all, you’ll see through them and recognize that they’re just always horrible.

Not going to prom. Really don’t know on what basis people would say that.

A lot of countries do have tourist areas where staff are taught to speak English and will take USD. Like the only places in Spain I went where someone didn’t speak English were a beauty store and a taxi stand. Otherwise there was always at least one who spoke English. The card reader allowed me to choose between USD and Euros. Touristy areas are designed to accommodate foreigners.

Did they complete rehab? Do they have a recommendation letter? Do they pass a drug test? I’d be more concerned about that.

I can’t speak to dominos, but most pizza places have switched to using apps for delivery. Except, since you’re not the one booking through the app, there’s no option to set the tip ahead of time, so your food is guaranteed to take an hour and be cold.

It’s not conservative, it’s nazism. Compassion is banned, building a strong society? forget about it.

If you refuse to consider anything other than randomized control trials science, then you believe we don’t have proof that smoking causes cancer.

but it’s still a question because I’m not 100 percent sure of my point of view.

Good. Your viewpoint is irrational. That means, it’s not based on facts or evidence. It’s completely made up based on your mind’s interpretation. Nothing in real life suggests anything like that will happen. I see from your post history that you like to write fiction. That can be a somewhat common issue for authors. They spend so much time in their own heads making things up, that they lose track of the line between what they’re making up and what’s around them. You occasionally see stories about crime novelists who murder. They spent so much time writing about it that they start to genuinely believe the world works like the things they write. It’s important to keep yourself grounded in reality. Language models randomly generate words based on the statistical relationship between the words. Meaning, you input words, and it tries to output words that are commonly associated. It doesn’t know what the words say. It cannot think. It is not actually answering your question.

It depends on the context. Some people might consider their family information to be private and not want to share that with random strangers.

Acknowledge your own limitations. The reason you think in the way that you do is that you were taught to think that way. You have been exposed to thousands of ideas that form the foundation of your belief system, and you can’t convey those efficiently over a few social media posts. You can’t teach everything to everyone.

Some people absolutely are born fucked up, but way, way more people are just born into fucked up situations and neglected until they explode.

"Simply put, the better alternative to prison is to create and put people in social environments that don’t tolerate crime in the first place. " what does that look like in practice, if not prison/execution.

It looks like early social intervention that helps people succeed without breaking the law. The reason American society is this fucked up is the fallacy that everyone is responsible for themselves. Absolutely none of the rich would be rich without extensive support given to them in every aspect of their lives.

The territory of Kaliningrad belongs to Lithuania. It’s not like there isn’t enough space in Russia, give me a break.

Puppy training class, or if the dog is not a puppy, you may need to get individual training lessons.

I am in fact supposed to be working more than 8 hours/day.

That’s kind of going against the point of being a journalist. If a journalist opposes what a country is doing, the thing they can do about it is to go to that country and report on what’s happening.

There is no dispute in rescues. Whoever is there first can take them. That’s just practicality. You’re not going to leave your own citizen there when you’re there for a rescue. Outside of that context, you’re subject to the laws of the nation you’re standing in.

Republicans clearly don’t. I imagine there are going to be a lot of bribes paid to keep him from doing it.
