Exactly this. I am “in favor” of nuclear energy, but only in the sense that I’d like fossil power to be phased out first, then nuclear. Any money that could be spent on new nuclear power plants is better spent on solar and wind.

This looks like stable diffusion’s idea of a WW2 plane

I understand the sentiment of not wanting to pay much money for clothes you don’t wear much, but SHEIN is an especially bad fast fashion brand with horrible working conditions and sometimes even toxic chemicals in the clothing. Just google SHEIN toxic, you’ll find several sources

I once tried to apply for unemployment benefits for a period of 3 months between jobs. I now have a whole folder with all the documents I was sent. My application was, of course, denied.

Another thing I can never unsee :(

If only, I know so many people who don’t bother with adblocking at all. I honestly have no idea how they use the Internet without going mad

Consciousness and conscience are not the same thing, this naming is horrible

What would a plasma be? Same as the gas, but the wojaks are all angry?

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

They really do want an Ig Nobel Prize.

Of course force may need to be used when people act criminally. In case of tax evasion, that may be seizing the amount owed and/or imprisonment in severe cases.

Say someone steals from a store and the owner demands it back, but the thief says “nu-uh”, what then? Is it morally permissible to use force to get your property back?

Ah yes, the well known connection between “let’s have a very high tax bracket for billionaires” and “let’s literally go and murder rich people because I don’t like them lol”, you got me. Oh, and sanctioning criminal behavior with prison = psychopathy, got it.

Good idea, will do tomorrow.

Here’s a good visualization of the wealth the richest people on earth command vs pretty much everyone else: https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

A billion dollars is so incomprehensibly more than anybody needs, no matter the size of their family, that there really is no reason to take these things into account. As for who decides what is enough, it’s the people allowed to vote.

As for the donation example, yes, that is worse, since for every billionaire that miraculously donates some of their wealth, there are loads who don’t. So better tax them all than hope that maybe a couple of them decide to be nice for once.

“I know bonds, I have the best bonds. This is the best bond in the history of bonds, maybe of all time.”

More or less correct, “Vorschrift” refers to the work you are obligated to do according to your work contract. You do exactly that and nothing more.
