That’s why I started with “if”. It’s not the case here in Chile.

Holy shit!!

I love you. <3

Orthodox economic thought suggests that in the labor market, whenever wages increase without anything changing in the underlying supply and demand, employment would fall… I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never been big on religion so I suggest taking that with a grain of salt.

Regardless of your conclusions and what you make of the orthodox argument, it is important to consider the total cost and aggregate risk of a company of hiring a woman vs a man or other genders. If, for example, regulation establishes that women have the right to a different amount of postnatal days off than men, that would be risks that companies would take into account at the moment of deciding who to hire.

It really does.

“Hydrogen” by M.O.O.N. (from Hotline Miami).

I agree. This is definitely an ideal context to talk about politics.

Did you know that the US government keeps and provides access to a database of dad jokes on fatherhood.gov, one joke at a time?

You could also snag this full dad jokes database from kaggle which contains over 13k dad jokes.

Hope you both enjoy!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you make the best of your time left.

Regarding your question, idk I’d send an email to everyone I care about. Possibly a diff one for friends and family.

Here’s a jumping off point:

Subject: Well… I Guess I’ve Got Some News!

Body: Hi everyone, So, you know how life has these unexpected twists now and then? Well, I guess you could say I just ran through one of those and boy is it twisty! I didn’t exactly sign up for it, but here it is. Long story short, I’ve been diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. (As BenFranklinsDick suggested, use chatgpt to spitball ideas)

Best of luck, friend. And maybe keep in mind that just cause things end, it doesn’t mean they lose their value or meaning. <3

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment thoughtfully. I understand our disagreements better now, and I apologize if I came across as arguing in bad faith. I’m sure you understand my perspective better now, and I appreciate you addressing it with respect.

Peace to you and all those you care about.

How is it bad faith?

Edit: Seriously, could someone please explain how my phrasing is inflammatory?

The blue genocidal party lost just as I told them they would if they didn’t listen and stop doing genocide. So I guess I’ve been vindicated in my demands they stop.

Do you think this will have an impact on the actual genocide, though? Do you feel like you’ve done enough? Can you fairly and honestly say this is something you care about if this is your only action regarding this problem?

Are you really going to debate bro me on whether I assumed you to be a white male or not?

Yes, this is definitely what I want to do with my afternoon (this is actually not sarcastic). Did I remove any relevant context? Please elaborate if you care to continue this surreal tangent.

You placed “white males” as a standalone group in your comment.

I did.

white males are not seperate from other groupings of people

dismissing the struggles of other groups

Any chance on giving that statement second thought? I think you’ll find something interesting.

Oh, you just are a debate bro

I’m unfamiliar with the term. Maybe if you clarify I can tell you if I feel identified with the definition.

this is when you, sarcastically, pushed the white male victimhood narrative.

Erm… So by me suggesting their vote was lost, i implied they were victims? I’m sorry but I disagree.

my rebuttal of the white male victimhood narrative signals to you that I support white males being victims

No. I think you may have a fixation with victimhood and its implications on the value and humanity of people, and I think you’ve pushed this fixation in every point during this exchange, projecting it into my arguments.

rank white males at the top of a victimization totem pole.

This is another example of the former. You seem to be under the impression that victimization is a ranking system.

Maybe I should clarify. Under my perspective, everyone deserves to be listened to, have their humanity accepted and treated with respect (even in situations of conflict and mutual destruction). You, me, white males, bolivians, jews, palestines, fundies, tankies, billionaires, criminals, war criminals, nazis, hitler, genghis khan. Everyone.

The reason behind this is that without that basic extension of empathy, all possibilities of consensus are lost before a conversation even begins. Do I always extend these basic forms of empathy to everyone? No, sometimes I’m a dick, but I do try.

My original point was about the consequences of the lack of willingness to convey these basic forms of empathy to white males in the election (this doesn’t imply i consider them victims. I don’t.)

What I’m currently trying to convey now is that victimization is not a ranking system, friend. And voting or not voting for someone is not an effective course of action to solve anything you truly care about.

I’m sorry people you care about are suffering. <3

Edit: I don’t think I did, and I honestly have no use for information regarding your sex, gender or ethnicity.

Maybe do some self reflection and growth

This is universally good advice.

The most basic thing I’ve done was demanding the genocidal party stops doing the genocide if they want my support which I’ve done since oct-8, their refusal to listen doesn’t change my demands or how serious I was in those convictions.

How’s that been working for you?

Did I?

I believe you did. You referred to me “doing it to them (other people)”. I’m other people.

You pushed the white male victimhood narrative

Did I? I didn’t, in any way, make a judgement on the value or ethical implications of the dehumanization of white men (even the poor ones). I didn’t imply it was right or wrong. I merely suggested, sarcastically, that it was a big factor in losing the election.

You seem to be under the impression that this dehumanization is warranted, though. Do you think this mindset helps the problems that our societies and democracies are currently facing?

Do you think ranking people regarding their levels of assumed victimization due to ethnic, sexual or identity backgrounds is something desirable in general?

Food for thought, my friend.

Who cares about genocide and actual demonization of immigrants.

I mean… Do you? What things are you doing to address these issues?

Edit: Also, did you assume I’m a white male? I’m not.

It does, doesn’t it? My font has betrayed me!

Maybe your pixelz were trying to minimalize it even more.

I might be, but do you feel like my statement was unfair? Do you think it was unwarranted?
