Bitcoin’s run up has made a lot of millionaires over the years. People who have no fundamental understanding of crypto currencies are throwing their life savings into Bitcoin, which does not produce any real value to society. When you invest in a company, let’s say a farm, you’re investing in…

My personal rule for tipping is I will tip if the job that the person is doing for me is a job that either: * Pays a wage that requires tipping, such as a waiter/waitress * Is a job that I can do myself, but am paying for someone else to do out of my own laziness, such as food delivery,…

To start, I'm making a completely secular argument. I am not religious and I think people of all belief systems should be able to agree with me. Basically, studies have shown that viewing pornography is addictive and activates the same parts of your brain as addictive drugs like cocaine (if someone…

I don't see why in the 21st century we still insist on separating sexes here. I feel like if there's a conscription law in a country it should be done by both sexes, or alternatively not having a conscription law at all. The biggest argument I've seen against this is stuff about how males…

I believe that human beings, while they are able to think in a more abstract, out of the box way, still retain an underlying biological pressure to reproduce, and the root instinctual desire for the act of sex, and the enjoyment that comes from it, is evolutions way of “rewarding” us for…

Lets take the latest US infrastructure bill as an example: 1 trillion dollars spent. That is an amount I can't really grasp. However if you were to divide it by the US population (330 million) it would come out to be $3030 spent per person living in the country. That's an amount I can actually…

First and foremost, I’m not trying to minimize that contribution that women bring to a relationship. I’ll be the first to admit that I’d be lost without the women in my life, and I’m well aware that there are a lot of men out there that don’t carry their weight at home. But I’m not really talking…

If you have ever seen job postings that are looking for entry-level accounting positions, you would likely encounter the term "Excel" frequently. Excel is one of the world's most used applications, and has become widespread even among non-finance occupations. However, it is worth noting that…

Full disclosure, I don't normally state things this strongly, nor do I really feel this strongly about tarot. But to keep it simple and be transparent, it's how I really feel about tarot. I'm also not looking for a debate, though I do look forward to engaging anyone willing to take on this topic. My…

With the Party’s clear embracement of Qanon, a literal death cult conspiracy theory, anti democratic practices such as voter suppression, the big lie of Trump and the rest of the party, and the attack on human rights such as the limitations on Queer people’s healthcare or opposition to a minimum…

You do not expand by not looking beyond that what you currently know. According to Nietzsche what defines an Übermensch is his quest to always expand his point of view. Way too many people are caught in in psychological trap, which makes them ignorant and dismissive of anything that they perceive as…

I am of Mexican descent, however I was born in America. My parents were born in America. If I go back a couple generations then the term Mexican-American can be applied because my great-great-grandparents came from both Mexico and Spain. However referring to me as Mexican-American does not apply…

First off, I know that child rent doesn’t exist because it’s against the law. This is a “should” post. Children are by a million miles more destructive, annoying, and overall unpleasant than most people’s pets. I work maintenance at an apartment and people with kids get significantly more noise…

Recently a survey came out that more than 1/3 of white students lie about their race on college applications. [https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/education/577722-more-than-a-third-of-white-students-lie-about-their] The students were heavily criticized on leftist twitter and by civil…

Apologies in advance to the people this is going to piss off. For what it’s worth I’m not kidding and I’m not trolling. In the Bible, God comes across as a somewhat capricious and, frankly, evil being. Imagine suddenly we discovered an old magic man in the sky - robes, sandals, the whole bit. Cool,…

Society is going to shit because "news" agencies and "Journalists" are flat out lying and peddling conspiracy theories to a population of gullible people to are easily controlled by fear. Media organizations that lie need to be shut down and or fined heavily so that we can get back to everyone…

This is a post relating to drug prohibition. To me, it seems to be a glaring inconsistency in the law. The State is not there to protect me from myself. Law is there to ensure order between people and my personal right to consume something does not necessarily harm anyone else. Bodily autonamy is a…

You know how middle class college students are too rich for grants, but are too poor to afford college? If low-income students can often get a very large portion of their education covered by grants, then the same should be granted to middle class students. After all, it's only fair. Most middle…

According to Google there are 78 gender pronouns now. Thats freaking crazy. I cant pronounce most of them to even refer to someone even if I really wanted to cause I simply can't say many of them and they confuse me on how to fit into my grammer and sentence structure (2 things I already struggle…

mean the title says it all, it's basically creating a one way media service that can beam to you any information it wants, without having to listen to any of its viewers or anyone who disagrees. Impartial and unbiased news should always be viewed from every angle and it should create a respectful…

There’s a big push going on right now to have artifacts currently residing in European museums to be returned to their country of origin. I think this is a dangerous idea in terms of keeping the artifacts safe. In the Middle East for example, we have seen ISIS on many occasions specifically seek out…

It makes no sense that humans are literally not allowed to just exist as humans. All humans have nipples, vaginas, and/or penises. There is nothing inherently "dirty" or "immoral" about them. It doesn't matter that you don't want to see a dong swinging around while you're out shopping at the…

I am honest to god not looking to just rant about how much I dislike him, I am really looking to better understand or have my mind changed on why this person has fans praising his bravery when he clearly seems like a fake. Why is what he is doing OK? Looking at Kaepernicks twitter, his fans are…

After seeing quite a few posts here considdereing sexuality, abortion, transgenderism etc I decided to make a CMV myself. I believe the public is being manipulated to talk about these topics because they are polarizing and distracting from the real agenda of the right: What does the right…

Cards on the table, Although I don't feel like i have a bias against trans women I would feel "ashamed" if my friends found out. As if I was scared of the ridicule and opinions of others. It's also hard to say that I'm not attracted to them because I'm a straight male and I do believe if a man…

When someone says "Plastic" they might as well be saying "Metal" as in "my car is made out of metal". Well you shouldn't drive it then because Mercury is incredibly harmful, so is Uranium and Caesium... If you say your car is made of Aluminium and Steel (Iron carbide alloy kind of) then everyone…

I've seen many dieticians claiming that all intenional weight loss is a bad idea. They cite studies that over 95% of people gain back the original weight and more after five years, and that weight cycling (losing and regaining weight) is worse for you than just staying fat. First, in the case of…

My mother is very adamant about not talking politics at the house. One of our C level executives stated no political talk at work. I understand that politics can be heated, and people have very strong opinions. But the key is to be respectful when having these conversations. I think the ban on…

I’m not talking about taxes on luxury goods or unhealthy items like tobacco. I think those are just. I am also focused strictly on sales tax. While I think income and property taxes is unjust too, that’s not part of this argument since it isn’t unjust to poorer people. I am talking about essential…

I originally posted this is r/tooafraidtoask [/r/tooafraidtoask] and then r/NoStupidQuestions [/r/NoStupidQuestions] but both were removed for bad faith arguments. There is no possible fucking way to show that I am here in good faith so please just take my word for it and engage me instead of…

Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter all began to blow up when I was in middle school, and from the very beginning my fellow students and I were hounded to be careful what we post online as it will be publicly recorded forever and there are consequences to negative actions. Nowadays when adults speak or…

This is not directly about the right or wrong of abortion, but rather about the language used when discussing the issue. I’d prefer if we can keep the discussion to this narrow topic, instead of going down the oft-debated rabbit hole of the morality of abortion. There are enough CMV’s on that I’m…

First of all this isn’t a post to say we should stick to our own or that we shouldn’t all work together. I’m not bashing or belittling any race, sexual orientation. This came about while i was applying for new jobs for the first time in a while and i learned companies are asking when you when you’re…

I know, I’m not the wisest guy here since I’m literally using a social media to say this. But this is less of a rant and more of a conclusion of mine. This addresses all of the recent encounters I’ve had with some specific people online. And judging by the fact of how common it is, you’ve probably…

First off, what I DON'T mean by this: - Parents on maternity leave of newborn children - Parents of children with special needs - Extreme scenarios, such as having 8 kids I'm talking about what the average common scenario. One parent is at home while the other works, 2-3 kids, that…

I will preface this by saying that due to the Pandemic, the USDA is reimbursing school districts through the 2021-22 school year so all students are offered free meals, but this should not be the exception. Though a large potion of school children are already eligible for at least reduced school…

I have seen a number of posts across Reddit (particularly r/antiwork [/r/antiwork]) that how employers exploit employees when it comes to calling in sick. One such situation I have seen mentioned a lot is that employers are requiring doctors' notes on, or after taking a sick day or face punishment.…

Title says it, the idea that if some rich dude just donates part of his money and it will fix world hunger is just, extremely stupid, naive and utopian. The US governament alone spend more than 6 Trillion Dollars in 2020 alone. https://usafacts.org/state-of-the-union/budget/ Money alone won't…

It is with great fear that I am asking this and trying to reach an understanding. Someone on Facepalm was banned for saying basically what this title says and made a thread. I commented that thinking such was a great way to breed actual racism, not thinking much of it. I was banned from Facepalm…

Firstly, since I've used "better", in this context it is meant to describe "effect change in behavior with increased frequency" since we are discussing a moral system which chiefly exists to guide conduct. Qualifying statement: I am not specifically arguing for any particular system of morality…

Sometimes I hear from comments online and even YouTube videos dedicated to the subject, that it is offensive for non-disabled actors (example: Daniel Day Lewis, Tom Hanks) to play disabled characters. Instead we should have disabled actors play these roles because they truly know what it is like-…

So in the UK after the recent murder of an MP (the second in 5 years) the government is now considering removing anonymity in the UK for social media platforms. This is the same government that also tried to make you require ID to view porn and that has made it illegal to cause a disruption while…

TL:dr see this if you want to get a quick education for the purpose of constructive debate [https://youtu.be/7Uu36ekmU3U] I am sick and tired of seeing people support the hijab without having any prior knowledge of what the hijab means and how it rose to ubiquity in Islamic nations. SO HERE’S A…

This excludes people who physically can not get the vaccine, I actually feel sorry for you and the view some people have on you… Do I understand the Liberty argument? Absolutely, even though I can’t personally resonate with it… Regardless of that, it’s still endangering other people, since the…

You'll often hear the that 100 companies produce 71% of carbon emissions. This is technically true given a couple of definitions. You'll also usually hear people say that because of that, we really just need to get those 100 companies to clean up and we'll solve climate change. This, however, is…

Recently there has been a lot of talks about the shrinking middle class, lower wages in relation to cost of living, and not enough "educated" Americans for certain positions. I am of the opinion that this has all been the caused by corporations no longer looking to train up or spend time on local…

I'll limit it to Canada and USA, but I am sure this applies to others. When I hear people being concerned about low birth rates, I think, even if that's a problem, what can we do about it. I would like my view changed because right now I'm a pessimist. Please note that this post isn't about…

I started thinking of this after seeing this tweet. It's an asexual model advertising an asexual-themed lingerie line. https://twitter.com/SophNar0747/status/1453702975222919168?t=2zXdqNmFzX5C8xV7pUL99A&s=09 Apparently the accepted definition of asexual has broadened to include people that enjoy…

When people claim to oppose capitalism or socialism, they typically don't know what they are talking about. I'm all for questioning the status quo, but these words get thrown around so much that they've lost all meaning. So, why not be more precise? Let's have discussions about economics, human…

I went to college and worked hard and got a 4 year degree. I then got a job paying the equivalent of 25 or so an hour, with small raises each year. Now that the service industry is spiking wages over 20 an hour, middle class wages already in the 20s per hour have not gone up and probably will…
