Isn't the name Askr?

Depends on the language. In Swedish it most definitely is Ask. Which, not very coincidentally, is the word for the ash tree as well.

This was invented, roughly around the WW2 era, as an incentive to work for any given employer. It's not gone away since.

Paid vacation is a good incentive to work, I'd say. Plus it's really fucking healthy.

Adding sales tax wouldn't be complicated at all wtf

It would involve "tax wars", which, as awesome as they'd be, no local government actually wants.
Sales tax in the US needs to be vastly more transparent, instead of being a "surprise" at the end of a transaction.

The only instance where it is transparent, right in the price, is when buying gasoline.

Hey, you mean that actually informing the customers up-front about what they need to pay would involve a tax war?

Nah, I read an explanation that said something was lost in the translation. I may not have gotten it exactly right but it was something along those lines.

Not so much lost in translation in the literal sense as lost because the context of that time isn't familiar anymore. At that time the masters held their clothes with one hand and would strike their subjects with the other. Turning the other cheek would force them to not do a backhanded strike which would be to recognize them as equals. Jesus was an instigator of a revolution, that's why he was crucified. This was telling subjects to peacefully revolt.

For Yuffie, essentially just pretend you're not interested in her in all the dialogue and she'll tag along. It is very possible to go through the game without ever encountering her, though. I like picking her up as early as possible, which is really early. She has a subquest in her town that can be pretty tricky on disc 1. Similarly, getting Vincent when you first arrive to where he is can be challenging. Doing it later makes it super easy.

Isn't an issue for us. Granted there was a long process of positive reinforcement via a "we see a sticky note, we immediately reset your password" policy. Granted ours isn't super complicated (8 char, spec + num). However our endusers are really compliant towards the policies.

I would happily accept a password reset every time they found my sticky note

But "listen and believe" would give a dangerous amount of power to half of the population.

You can listen and choose to not take a stance until the matter is properly investigated and prosecuted. There's a difference between questioning the victim at every step of the way and waiting for the facts until you decide what to think.

It's really amazing how much of this bulls*** you see with rape and with nothing else

One story that has stuck with me is from Bjsta which is really close to where I grew up, from maybe 10-15 years ago. A 15 year old girl got raped by her classmate and was completely shunned by the community. Even after the boy confessed in court, people took his side, he was invited to join the school's summer holiday kickoff celebration, etc. Even after he raped another girl and confessed, the whole community took his side. It was so bad her family had to move. And that's in progressive Sweden, a country that spends a lot of energy on research and changing public perception of rape victims.

I can't understand why you are so scared to read the chapter...or at the very least not speak about things you haven't read. It is mind boggling but go ahead and take that one video where he is talking about another side of the rule and completely negate the actual words that he wrote down.

Dude, if Peterson tried to publish a paper where he would justify being completely wrong with "that's not the point I'm making", it would get rejected super hard and would probably hurt his reputation.
