Women were supposed to perform all the domestic labour. All of it. That myth of liberated soviet woman shatters the second you learn about any aspect of the soviet existance.
30 years later, and I still can’t convince my mom that doing all the domestic work and be toe-to-toe with men in a workplace isn’t something all women are just have to do.

as a parent it is still not your job to make it easy, yeah?

As a parent it’s your job to make it safe. They will do it, you can’t stop it. But if you allow it, if any problem arise they will not hesitate to ask for help immediately, and that’s the most important.
You can provide them contraception and morning pills and not rely on their teenage hormone filled brains to get it themselves. If they’re doing it in your home, they will less likely to do it while drunk under the bridge.
It is similar to alcohol situation. If your teenager wants to drink alcohol, it’s better you give them guidelines and help, and it’s better they get a six pack of beers with their friend in your home, than a bottle of moonshine with their 29 years old buddy Craig they met in a toilet of a waffle house.

This is also a “you” problem. Fix that at your earliest convenience.

they’d have done NOTHING

That’s not fair. They’d have elected him President

Believe it or not, bees aren’t supposed to be immortal. Dead bees on random pavements are just sign that bees exist around somewhere.
Not good would be not finding anyone, drad or alive.

I’m very specifically gesturing at the fact that US government is an insanely complicated thing, that is unbelievably hard to operate, but insanely easy to break, that’s why people who want to use it to achieve anything generally fail, but people who want to break it achieve it with ease.
And that’s only one of the specific things I’m gesturing at, very explicitly actually, nothing vague about my gesturing.

Ok.

Even if everthing they were saying was true (it wasn’t), the amount of shoplifted goods pales in comparison with the amount of money their CEOs pocket just because they feel like. If you’re really concerned about the losses, maybe that’s what we need to panic about

He absolutely was, but it is also tangential to what I was talking about

The lengths you go in order to avoid engaging in good faith talk are fascinating, really.

I clicked one once by accident when trying to select it. You can be as diligent as you want you still will slip up from time to time

Oh, you’re lucky too, I made a comment in the beginning of the conversation that could satisfy your curiosity. Granted, it requires to read the whole paragraph of text, so you may never know what I actually mean

That’s the whole point, when you do useless shit like buying from one corpo instead of another, they only need to buy couple of politicians to succeed. The only way for you to combat it is to elect politicians they can’t buy and apply political pressure to the rest of them, so they can’t buy them all. If instead of that you play their game and try to outbuy a corpo that owns half of your country already, not only you will lose every time, you are actually what doing exactly they want you to do.
“No ethical consumption under capitalism” is about this, not anything else.

At this point it’s not even funny. Do you do this with every conversations in your life, or did I get lucky? Do you understand the theory of mind? Do you understand that you actually need to listen to the person when you talk, and not just invent what you feel they might say, and then argue with that for some reason?

You can use Bitcoin miners for that

3 or 5 was always my goto. That being said, I didn’t have to write anything by hand in the last 15 years, and I’m pretty much forgot how it’s done

I mean, it was one-sided conversation from the beginning. And only you had the power to change it, all this time.

And my point was outlined in the comment you refuse to read.

Voting with the wallet is mostly bullshit, it’s a myth corpos are telling people so we regulate them less. They have so much power to inject themselves into human’s lives, make themselves part of your existence. You can for example try to walletvote Microsoft out of your life whatever the fuck you want, while you were trying it, they bought a politician or twelve, and now they’re part of your government, your education system, your military, and your finance sector.
While democracy still exists, the only way to fight corpos is the governmental power or regulations.

Companies that do anti-consumer practices shouldn’t think it’s the norm. The more we fuck Apple, the less other companies think that it’s OK to fuck consumers.
