Nobody in Canada wants to be called American.

This is a language and continent model issue, the lack of understanding is not in the side of the Americans or the rest of the anglosphere.

I'm 46, I wish I could go to bed at 22 again.

Well I've got bad news for ya, there's nothing any better that's yet been devised.

Human nature is not great, and barring a massive population collapse this is how it's gonna be.

And frankly, it's better then it's ever been in all of human history for those of us in the developed world.

Neither is correlation with atrocities proof of the economic system NOT being ethical or the way we should run society.

The point is correlation is not causation, and in fact we KNOW that capitalism is better then previous systems.

We also know if no other system that works to replace capitalism yet, other then the previous and worse systems.

Not the guy you responded too, but his point is obvious.

The assertion that capitalism is the root cause of the atrocities listed based purely on their existing at the same time is evidence of nothing.

People have always been like this, increases in technology have helped increase mans mistreatment of his fellow man. Economic system be damned, that's not the point.

Or do you think mercantilism or feudalism where actually any better?

So, in a nutshell, the assertion is that gender is entirely nurture and not nature.

Yeah, sorry, that is an extraordinary assertion and I'm going to need extraordinary proof.

Are there people for whom gender and sex don't neatly match up, or even those for whom it is purely performative, sure.

But they are statistical outliers, and not representative of the majority experience.

People can be different then the statistical norm, and that's ok, but to assert that this norm is entirely cultural is over the top self serving.

100000% yes.

Learned this one long ago.

Took years for my wife to understand it.

The cheapness is STRONGER then my ADHD.

Yeah, the "discussions" in the 90s where about normal behavior in the 70s and 80s.

Hell the 80s religious and political scene in America is what inspired A Handmaids Tail.

If 90s shows make you clutch your pearls god help you if you catch something from the 80s or 70s.

Didn't he invent that new cereal varnish?

Ok, but, why is microwaved water any different the water warmed in a kettle?

This seems like a pointless thing to get worked up over.

Title, start date and time, job title is about all that's on the "contract".

Rolls and responsabilities, not anything else, are not defined.

To where?

Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

I'm fine, it's not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.

My dude, that's exactly what I'm talking about. That's me in fact.

Even if I had a contract it wouldn't matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

That's the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

.

That's cute you believe that

Bullshit.

Hell they are in the same time zone, it's just a straight shot down i75. What's this opposite side of the country crap?

They are different, but a swing that big to the left in Florida is almost impossible without a national swing of serious size, thus Michigan which leans left already would be in the bag.

Unfortunately it's not a bait and switch, there real issues in how we're failing boys and men are surely contributing to this concerning trend.

Especially when we blame the victims.

These "True Men" ass holes are simply swooping in to prey on the young men who've been left behind, like any cult leader would.

It's highly improbable though. If she flips Florida, a state she's down in despite the headline, she most likely won Michigan by a wide margin.

It's possible, but like pigs learning to fly possible.

No longer true with real ID.
