CMV: We should be embracing automation to replace monotonous jobs

For starters, automation still provides jobs to install, fix and maintain software and robotic systems, it’s not like they’re completely removing available jobs. It’s pretty basic cyclical economics, having a combination of a greater supply of products from enhanced robotics and having higher…

My rationale is simple: innocent until proven guilty. My proposal may sound like a blatant contradiction of this principle but I hope to illustrate why I don't believe it is. In a criminal trial, the burden of proof lies on the prosecution to demonstrate beyond all reasonable doubt that the…

These motorsports aren't very technical. Drag racing and land speed racing is go in a straight line as fast as you can. It's when motorsports start to have corners in them that the required skill to compete becomes higher. At least in drifting, autocross, rally and endurance racing, there's a big…

Some hedge funds massively overplayed their hand and exposed themselves to tens of billions of dollars of risk. Sure, the company might not be worth $1000 per share, but the market (with the help of some internet idiots) has decided that these shares are worth owning based on the chance to make big…

I believe that at best, religion has had a neutral impact on human history, but more likely, it has had a negative impact. Quick note, I know ‘good’ and ‘bad’ can be subjective, but will use them here for the sake of readability and general clarity. Also, while I fully understand that removing…

I am not using the word sex worker in a pejorative sense. I mean it literally, any girl who chooses to be onlyfans or other web based platform for the purposes of satisfying someone’s sexual fantasy for monetary exchange is a sex worker. It’s not easy to make a living these days and I don’t hold…

As the saying goes, all forms of government are bad, democracy is just the best one we've got. Whenever I see people talking about warnings against government power, I see two novels come up: 1984, and Fahrenheit 451. I take issue with the latter, and as I read more and more of F. 451, I become…

It may work in the short term, but in the long run, reducing costs of attending college is the best solution. Why? Because the higher the costs of attending, the more students will have to borrow. In the coming years, college costs are expected to continue to rise to a point where the average amount…

Basically what the title says. If Republicans want to start impeaching Jimmy Carter or whatever, they need to stop their childish antics and actually govern using logic Since impeachment proceedings began in a timely manner following the impeachable offense AND apply during the time the president…

The good people of r/wallstreetbets [/r/wallstreetbets] are, at the best of times, a group of people colluding to invest their money in ways that maximize profits to everyone in the group. In other words, they’re a hedge fund. Between them, they realized that they have control of enough assets to…

I’m a layman when it comes to the world of Wall Street, but my current disposition from the outside looking in includes several criticisms. I know there are plenty more knowledgeable people on the subject around so here are my points of contention: 1. Reliability of success - How is the stock…

I think we’ve all noticed how polarized politics, especially in the US but around the world as well, have become in the last 10-20 years. This coincides with the meteoric rise of technology and social media. That is no accident and is a direct result of social media taking over the world of…

EDIT: I wanted to add an example of what I’m talking about, from a comment down below. Consider Steven Pinker; not on the political right at all, by any stretch of the imagination; a scientist, a humanitarian, has spent his career advocating for women and PoC to get into the sciences... but he…

This CMV post is inspired by this opinion piece [https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/05/jj-mccullough-canada-history-conservatives-residential-schools-erin-otoole/] by pundit (and political science graduate [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjmccullough/?originalSubdomain=ca])…

To start, we are deeply social animals and group-belonging is an essential part of human psychology. Shaming is effectively "You don't belong to my group if you act or believe as you do." which might be effective if you the person being shamed had no where to go. However, particularly in this day…

I’ll admit that I wasn’t around in the 80’s to, I guess, truly experience what gave him the respect he’s gotten to this day (though not by everyone, of course). What I have seen, however, involved a massive shift in government activities and sociopolitical standpoints that continue to falter our…

Citizens United is one clear example of this. It was passed by majority conservative justices, celebrated by Republicans, and derided by Democrats. It basically gives corporations unlimited political influence. We are seeing this play out on social media very clearly. Big companies that can afford…

I recently saw an /r/insanepeoplefacebook post where a conservative compared Kelly Mcenany to Biden’s appointed press secretary (can’t remember the name) in terms of looks equating that conservative women are better. In the comments I saw many people bringing up Sarah Huckabee-Sanders and Kelly Anne…

Many school teachers claim that their goal, beyond teaching a particular subject matter, is to teach their students to think critically and be able to process information, but I think they have forgotten the basic building blocks of being able to do that. As humans we have a bunch of natural biases…

I want to start by saying I do not intend to be transphobic. I think it’s wonderful laws are finally acknowledging transgender persons as a protected class. Sports seems to be the exception—partially because it brings up issues of sex rather than gender. My granddaughter is a swimmer and was 14th…

Far too often, I see people immediately reject the idea of self-improvement by claiming it is suggesting "bootstrapping." I am well aware of the bogus origins of the word. As Martin Luther King once put it(to paraphrase), telling a man with no boots to lift himself up by his bootstraps is a cruel…

Possible spoilers if you've not seen the movie(though I don't recommend...it's truly awful) I'm 11 minutes in and so far: Mulan has a sister. Apparently her dad is poor, instead of an honored rich man/family. It starts with her as a kid She somehow has magic kung fu abilities that defy gravity,…

Almost everything wrong with our current society can be blamed on boomers, the housing prices, low wages, horrible job market, offshoring to China, global warming, allowing companies to violate privacy rights and roll back our other rights everything was done on the boomers watch and most of it was…

Most (or all) 24/7 news networks like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and such have very biased opinion shows but their true news portion are fairly decent. To use Fox News as an example, the newscast portion of it is reasonably factual but the opinion shows like Hannity are completely independent of facts…

I have a grandfather who is very old. He didn't have a particularly easy life so far but as far as I'm aware he's done pretty much everything he ever wanted to at this point. But his age is creating serious health issues for him. I won't go into details but it's come to the point where he's almost…

Purely from my observations especially on social media, so many people within the Millennial-Gen Z age range have been treating topics of mental illnesses like depression & anxiety too lightly. I have no intention to say them saying they have depression/anxiety/other mental illnesses is not valid,…

Some of the most controversial pardons issued by Presidents in recent history (including the pardoning of Richard Nixon and a number of pardons issued by Donald Trump) were to people who were not yet tried and convicted of a crime. The unilateral and unchecked pardoning power of a U.S. President is…

I don’t believe anything that Donald Trump says, nor his supporters, for obvious reasons, and quite frankly it seems that all media outlets have an agenda to push that leans heavily in one direction or another. Regardless, I’m not personally aware of a single positive thing that Donald Trump,…

This was a failure of leadership and personnel, not the result of systemic limitations that prevented those agencies from guarding the Capitol. The agencies had all the tools and resources they needed to stop it, no new legislation is needed. Past anti terror legislation in the united states and…

Both Democrats and Republicans (I will be referring to these as "left" and "right," as it is just easier to type) have claimed to be the "silent majority." Neither side is truly the silent majority, nor are they a silent group at all. The true "silent majority/silent group" is people who are more…

Here's the case study: I noticed that After George Floyd was killed last year, a lot of white and otherwise very privileged people started using the Blackouttuesday tag to post black squares, putting BLM slogans in social media bios and using Breonna Taylor's murder as a buzzword, calling…

More often than not it seems to be a common notion for people to judge and or ostracize others for spending their money in certain ways, when said spending threshold exceeds an arbitrary amount where one could be considered 'wealthly' to make such a purchase. Some common examples: houses, super…

I saw this as a non-American left-leaning centrist. In more than one thread recently about Bumble allowing people to filter by political belief, non-Americans were shocked that people filter by political belief only to be downvoted and for people to defend why they wouldn’t even want to be friends…

I don't think peddling radical, violent conspiracy theories should be protected by free speech. I think we need to find better ways at combatting all of the false information being spread as fact. It's now been proven to be dangerous if left unchecked. There needs to be some way to restore faith in…

CMV: If it is racist to require voter ID, it is racist to require ID to buy a gun. I just don’t see a way out of this one. How can it be racist to require an ID to vote (18 yrs old citizen, not a felon), but it isn’t racist to require an ID to buy a gun? It’s almost the same requirements (18, not a…

I would guess that a typical Democrat gets their news from CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NYT, etc. And the average conservative gets his news from Fox News, Talk Radio, OAN, Breitbart, The Daily Caller, YouTubers like Stephen Crowder and Ben Shapiro, etc. If you go more into the fringes of the right…

I'm an anarchist, and I do not sympathize with Trump or his supporters in any way shape or form. I noticed, however, that a lot of my fellow comrades seem to be oddly complacent in being quick to call the 45th POTUS a fascist. This is simply not true, and I am against this way of describing Trump's…

Pretty much self explanatory. A reason i say this is an unpopular opinion, is because literally everyone does it. I'll be watching something then someone will do the exact thing, i hate it. a big part of watching TV or Films is watching character development, the beauty of watching TV is watching…

Look, I know people need to be treated equally, etc. but blacks have suffered more than anyone else in the U.S. when it comes to racism. Latinos may be discriminated against by racist Americans, but blacks were the ones who were taken from their land and enslaved. Latinos did not suffer…

I would like to clarify that I support the impeachment and don't think there is anything wrong with it. I just think that it is time that the young people were given more chance to express their voice and have a more balanced understanding of what the youth wants. It's because of speaker Pelosi and…

This assumes the bread is consecrated, as in the eucharist. As I see it, if Catholics believe that: Sex within marriage is allowed, but outside of marriage is sinful; Nuns are married to Christ; The eucharist transubstantiates into the literal body of Christ; then it follows that they should be…

There were white nationalists at the insurrection of course, but they appeared to be a minority of the participants. It seems to have been a mix of QANON, Proud Boys, evangelicals, military, backwoods hicks, and it was mostly white. (but not all white) By calling this group “white supremacists” or…

In modern economically liberal democracies, for-profit corporations often have far more direct and unchallenged authoritarian power over all aspects of human life than government agencies. Their success in capturing government regulatory power through lobbying and corruption in the past several…

Reading through the main arguments and talking points going through the internet at the moment, it seems like people have pitted the following arguments against each other when discussing the banning of Parler, Trump, and others. * On the one hand: “Trump, Parler and the other banned voices were…

I am no fan of Parler or Trump. I’m pretty far left and am terrified by the state of politics right now. No more Nazis sounds pretty nice. However, it worries me that a small handful of companies were able to essentially ban a political group from online discussion. Sure, they showed restraint in…

All these "power mods" that moderate multiple big communities do so because they don't have a life. Removing posts and comments they don't agree with is all they have going for them. I just feel bad that nobody loves them so they have to come here and gain some fake sense of authority by silencing…

I’m kind of tired of people telling me I’m racist for "automatically assuming others have the same skin colour" as I do. I think that’s not racist, that’s natural. If I grew up in a country with a mostly white population, I’m likely to imagine someone being white if I have no additional information…

I can’t stand him and I find it difficult to understand those who follow him most of the time. I listened to his “save the vote” speech and I thought “am I wrong? Is there something I am missing? Is there a grand conspiracy? My anchors in fact based reality helped me, but his speech was inspiring.…

Assume any precedent could just as easily be used against you if a different ideology was in charge. That should be your litmus test for outrage vs. support. This is turning into a censorship witch-hunt against people who, agree with them or not, justified or not, already feel like they’re under…

Science and practical experience both show us that humans want ritual, purpose and a sense of greater connectedness. Religions give human beings a framework that addresses these psychological and emotional desires. This is not to say that any given religion is correct or not, but it fulfils…

I’d started off by saying that i’m poc gay man, I’ve experienced both extreme racism and homophobia. I’m here for outing racists. But I do NOT see people talking about how insane homophobia is in the black community. Some black people are pretty religious, and there’s extreme homophobia there that…

Basically, after today, I’ve seen both sides of the political spectrum in America talk about the other like dogs. The left can do one thing and they’re villianized for it but then the right will do the same shit and get villianized by the left. It’s all hypocritical af. I realize we’re fairly…

I just don't understand how there are still people out there that believe the election was faked. It is simply un-American to be going against democracy like this. Even Trump's own vice president, being Pence of course, has stated that the elections were not fraudulent. I simply can't wrap my mind…

I want you to poke holes in this simple if A and B then C must be true argument. CMV: If you believe life begins at conception AND in birthright citizenship, then you must also believe that a person who was conceived in a country must be given citizenship to that country solely on that basis,…

Any fines, judgments, what have you should be paid via a community service. No more of this "legal for the rich" mentality. What ever the "value" of the fine is, should then be divided by what the minimum wage is of the state crime was committed in, or fed min if Federal crime, to determine the…

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/26/us/mimi-groves-jimmy-galligan-racial-slurs.amp.html Here is an article explaining the situation ^ Reasoning: 1) The girl said it when she was 15 (4 years ago) -Mrs. Groves said this word as a child. Was it right? Absolutely not. But 4 years is enough to change…

Living in Georgia, I have been inundated with mail from both parties, their candidates, and various third parties on both sides (I kept count, we received 89 mailings last week). Daily we have things placed on our door handle from these same people. We receive at least one visitor every 2-3 days who…

I think I’ve said it all in the title, but yeah. If people shouldn’t “focus on getting a significant other, it won’t fix your life” then how come there are so many so-called ‘losers’ whose lives miraculously seem to get so much better once they have a significant other? I’ve seen people go from…

PHOTO ID verification, to be clear. I think that every looks-centric social media app like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok should require users to be at least 18 years old and should require ID verification to create an account the same way that some online investment apps do because: …

Everybody likes to complain about the unpopular beliefs like anti homosexuality or for a while their anti mixed racial couples that stemmed from the church. However, outside of certain periods of time and sometimes being behind on what progressive attitudes are being held by the masses, religion was…

There's budget for healthcare, criminal justice, education and most aspects of society but so little attention paid to how individual parenting possibly plays the biggest role in how a child turns out as an adult, physically, mentally, financially etc. And all these individual outcomes cascade into…

There are certain things and attributes it is illegal to fire someone for. Mostly protected characteristics, like sex, race and disability, as well as protections from being punished for refusing unsafe work and the like. I think most people can agree that it should be illegal to fire someone…

I'm a 24 year old adult male living in Iran, I've lived through 12 years of mandatory sex-segregated school only to be introduced to a sex-segregated society where interacting with the other gender is deemed illegal by the horrible islamic law imposed and enforced on the poor people of the country…

Let me preface this by saying that we look at glitter all wrong. Most of us look at it as just another piece of the artist's toolkit, but the fact is that glitter was weaponized long ago by people willing to send envelopes full of glitter to your enemies, or even by the infamous porch-pirate revenge…

It's usually subreddits about idiotic people, rude and mean people, Karen's, John's, stupid conservatives, stupid liberals, etc. Any kind of people that provoke hate in you and a strong sense of "I'm better than them" or just gossipy interest. Constantly focusing on humanity's negative side may…
