  • Some of it stems from religious zealotry (marriage is sacred and permanent).

    Some of it is a misguided attempt at rectify the 'single parent' problem, believing that two unhappy parents is better than one parent divorced.

    Essentially if you make divorce harder, more couples will be forced to work through their disagreements and reconcile.

  • It's just so hard to see where we transition from here.

    We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy... And now many services are being automated. So what's next?

    I'm in favor of the automation but recognize it's going to cause pain in the near future.

    I've seen people tout a 'creative based economy', but to be honest LLMs and GANs seen poised to grab that sector before anyone in service can transition to it.

    You'd hope all of this would mean an easier life, but so long as capitalism is the name of the game there is zero incentive to spread the benefits among all.

  • ... That is generally how it works where I live, yes.

    Police causalities caused by actions intended to stop a felony are charged to the felon and they are held responsible.

    Not that I fully agree with the unscrutinized part but your analogy isn't the best.

  • No.

    It's cheaper to out source it this way because as their farmers are contractors they don't have to adhere to the legal responsibilities they would if they ran them in their own.

    They can keep their contracted farmers in debt to them indefinitely and essentially have a class of indentured servants.

  • That's how they used to be in the early days of the Internet. The earliest online multiplayer games like Cyberstrike charged by the hour. Cyberstrike cost six dollars an hour! Games in the BBS days were by the minute.

    ... Not that I feel there is any reason to bring that back. I am ok with live service games charging a monthly subscription though.

    But the idea itself isn't as unheard of as everyone here acts like it is.

  • Same thing applies to humanitarian aid.

    If Hamas has hijacked or is operating in those places then they become military targets.

    As far as white phosphorus, it depends on how it's deployed. If it's deployed for masking, tracing or identifying then it's legal.

    If it's being directly used as an incendiary then that's illegal.

  • As far as international law goes no this is not a war crime.

    If your military takes refuge or uses a civilian center for military operation then that location becomes a valid military target regardless of the risk to civilian lives.

    Basically Hamas is commiting the crime by purposefully setting up in these areas. Once they do that then civilian death is acceptable collateral damage, legally speaking.

  • While the tone of this post is mocking, it's a very real thing that having the social skills to match someone else's vibe during an interview can help tremendously with helping the interviewer see you as someone who can fit with the company culture.

    I see people who struggle with getting jobs often are lacking in those sort of soft social skills.
