What? What are you even talking about?

Nobody wants racial segregation except the ignorant racists, who deserve the economic damage caused by being ignorant racists.

Forcing an ignorant racist to serve people they hate will accomplish nothing, and certainly won't help their ignorance or racism.

Daryl Davis is pretty vocal about the way he deradicalized KKK members, I recommend looking into him. Spoiler: the secret is shared interests (music) and normal conversation, just getting to know each other.

Jim Crow laws didn't mean that no business served black Americans. Don't skip history class, everybody.

You can take anything and make it horrifying if you want. It's either a slippery slope or reductio ad absurdum.

This is a photographer that wanted to decline a customer, nothing more or less.

A business should be able to decide the kind of services it provides. If I don't want to bake a gigantic 5' swastika cake I shouldn't have to.

At the end of the day capitalism protects everyone against excessive descrimination - business that reject people get less money, fewer reviews, will grow slower, etc. If that business rejects your business someone else will provide it. If nobody serves a community, there's a business opportunity waiting. Etc.

I don't know how delusional you need to be to assume it could EVER be possible that somehow every business would just refuse to serve a population because of X characteristic.

Pharmacists are a strictly regulated profession. The whole job is filling prescriptions ordered by doctors and informing customers (patients) about the safe use of the substances. It's not a creative process and it's not their choice to prescribe or deny medication.

Last I checked bakers and photographers are barely regulated by comparison, and you could easily consider their work creative in nature.

Capitalism isn't a system of morality. Or at least it isn't supposed to be.

The fact that people think more money = moral is one of the largest problems in the world right now.

What? You voted to support someone ELSE'S freedom?

Blasphemy.

You pick songs, they squeeze ads and other songs in between (IIRC) and can gather data from how you interact with all of that.

You're understanding the value of big data.

It's why I reject all of these services. CDs, baby!

And the volume is cranked too high.

And they are intentionally annoying.

And the last time I had a video on without my adblocker, an ad came on that was literally a person acting like they were a content creator. It was over 3 minutes long. I was only half paying attention (I was driving and just listening to the video) and when I realized it was wrong I thought I had bumped the phone and changed videos. It was so disorienting.

All the ads are lies or propaganda. I hate them. I actively avoid products that find a way to force their ads in front of my face.

It's not a subtle ad. Google has sold the top slots of your search to companies in exchange for money.

When your search for "Excel", Google doesn't try to find you the most relevant result. They find you the highest paying ad, and then what you're searching for.

Don't be evil.

Another great way of not getting your civilians targeted is to wear identifying uniforms.

It's almost like Hamas doesn't want to prevent civilian casualties.

As far as I understand that's the definition of fungibility, right? Every dollar is interchangeable and identical?

So there's no functional difference between deleting $1 and creating $1 except semantics, compared to moving $1, as long as the total value doesn't change.

The government just deleting money and printing money to pay for whatever it wants suggests that those things aren't equal, which would be the problem if it were true.

The article sure reads like AI word salad. Unfortunately it's just legible enough that it could just be a dumb human with a thesaurus.

The government website is way more readable.

Yeah I'm as confident about the shit chocolate as this guy is about the chocolate shit.

Textures that you don't have access to because they are all locked behind micro transactions, but one whale is going to buy them all so your machine has to be able to render them all.

Literally all modern evidence points to the healthier tribal and nomadic humans having animal-based diets.

Healthier teeth, healthier skin and hair, longer lifespans, better musculature.

I hate Elon Musk and I still like the cybertruck.

I'm ashamed but I'd probably buy one and be happy with it, 100% in the city, doing mostly light hobby work, towing a boat, or locally camping.

Look at the tires, they are pretty suboptimal.

I switched to an EV 3 years ago and there is way too much torque at low rpm. The power curve just probably isn't designed for loose dirt. Not to mention the cyber truck weighs a billion pounds.

I definitely have one of these.
