the alt right do not argue in good faith.

Heh, I was just on another forum where someone was complaining about Liberals with the exact same argument you're making on the opposite side of the examples you made. People on both sides do this so it says more about the person you are arguing with than their views.

This is the reason why politics generally isn't allowed in the workplace. A lot of people don't know how to engage in discussions that challenge their views.

I don't think this film had any real chance of provoking mass shootings or anything like that, it's far more likely to add fuel to the fire of growing suspicion and contempt felt for mentally ill people. I'm sure someone somewhere will tell or has told me or people expressing similar views that "It's just a comic book movie!" but that's just a huge avoidance of social responsibility.

The movie felt quite sympathetic to Joker, portraying him as someone who was constantly dealt bad hands.

Trump won Times person of the year in 2016.

So I'm not sure why people take this award so seriously.

He dominated the media attention, influenced politics so that people won't take it for granted next cycle (in the worst way possible) and culture, and became president when everyone thought he was a joke from the beginning of the campaign cycle.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure how Greta influenced anything, especially to the point that the Hong Kong protesters have. Heck, I barely know anything about her as opposed to the Hong Kong protests spreading itself across industries and fields.

That's okay, just don't call yourself a history buff. You have an interest in military history or money history in your specific case--that's it. In fact that word "buff" should never exist in this context. I formally study history of various things, but I know only 1/10th of what a historian does (we're talking about the general skillsets of a historian here-not just the ability to remember several thousand pages of information). I am neither a history buff, nor a historian. I am a student of history, that's all.

Well, they're probably using "buff" as a way of saying that learning history, specifically military history, is they hobby. That's acceptable. In any field there's A LOT to learn and you'll never know enough. I have a physics B.S. degree and I tell people I have a quarter of a degree. One of my mentors who has a Ph.D. and has been in the business (not just school) for decades, is always learning something new. In crypto, I still have yet to "formally" code my smart contract yet I'll go on and on about how smart contracts will take over the world thanks to Chainlink if you give me a chance and have been way in the green profits wise.

As long as you willingly spend your time on a field, and enjoy it, claim it as your own. It'll give you a stronger motivation to learn more and do more with the field as you inch closer to mastering it.

I know next to nothing about world history. But since I've been learning to invest for a year now, I've been wanting to learn and have been dabbling a teeny tiny bit about history of money. When you learn about the ebb and flow about money, what gives the USD its value (nothing, or the military are good answers), it puts a lot of actions and decisions countries make in a different perspective which ties into military history to explain why we've gone to a number of wars in the past decade.

That being said...

It's not an argument, because you have no actual stance. The SC ruled they could do it, but that doesn't mean that it's wise, or that police departments do it. That one department did it at that time, that's literally all it says.

It's not standard across the board, but the fact is one department did discriminate along that lines, which was the article we all recalled that you denied ever existing. It is not us that has no stance, it's just you.

It's not really about that. It's about how the show tends to treat the viewers as if they're too stupid to understand what's going on, and doing constantly. It's so heavy handed about having to explain every action he takes, but does so in such a boring and patronizing manner. It just irks me, and it turned out my complaints were accurate anyway.

I had no problem with it because it didn't slow down the pacing. He explained what was going on as it was happening and the explanations were down to Earth as well.

Now if they halted scenes to explain what was going on, a la Hunter x Hunter, then we'd have problems.

Have you been paying attention to the housing crisis in California? Silicon Valley is inhospitable to everyone who's not making engineering wages thanks to the price of rent and everything else rising to take advantage of the high salaries. The end result is that there are essentially slums, blocks of homeless tents with a massive homeless population to boot. NYC residents, already battling gentrification prices, know this is going to get worst with Amazon opening an office in the city.

Read up to page 3 (50 per topic) of this topic so I'm skipping out on most of it. I was thinking the other day that if I were running this country, I would have gone after mainstream media to make some heads roll because of how they manufactured the outrage by the sheer amount of articles twisted for a racial light. I remember the first article by CNN was something along the lines of "Black boy shot and killed by Half White Man". And we had NBC doctor the dispatcher recording and one of the big name broadcasting networks show Martin only as a 12-14 year old.

The amount of controlled dissemination of misinformation was insane and we're still seeing the effects of it today. People should be on trial for a life sentence because this is too much power over the entire country.

If you just include it into the price of the food the restaurant has to count it as sales income. Which means customers have to pay sales tax on it, the restaurant has to pay income tax on it, and the staff has to pay income tax on it. So you're going through 3 tiers of taxation instead of just one. So if you include it into the price of the food it's either going to cost more to implement or less of that money is actually going to make it into the pocket of the staff(most likely the latter)

So tipping was invented to bypass these taxes?

I agree culinary workers are underpaid, but that's not really the service staff's fault

My problem with tipping is that, at the places I worked at, they don't split the tips. They do a great job with the service and get tipped? That's fine. I do an exceptional job with the meal and have the people saying "Wow!"? They get tipped. So what happens is for the "special of the day", we phone it in and experiment on the staff to make the actually really good meals and concoctions. One time I made a nachos and cheese mix to share around and I had a server ask me one time why I didn't make it a special. I looked at my coworker and we laughed at her. Rule of thumb for cooking: if they're not paying for the knowledge, keep it in your head. No need to make your master richer.

Really, they should raise the prices and do away with tipping. Just felt like venting a bit.

I tip 20% and that was considered generous back in the day. I also worked as a dishwasher and worked my way up as a cook. Now I hate tipping with a passion. People will go on and on about how bad servers have it, but ask any server if they want to switch to dishwashing or prepping food. They'll turn tail and bail out so hard.

They're rated just fine. They contributed considerably to history, but the industry has grown a lot as well so they don't have anywhere near as much clout as they used to. You'll be fine if you don't play their games.

Nevermind being able to bypass the entire global banking system, the technology allows for automation like never before.
