"We falsely claim to be society's bodyguard, and this is how we're treated? As people you just expect to put themselves in harms way for your safety?

"The fuck is up with that?

"No, I don't know what a bodyguard does. Why do you ask?"

Oh no. Won't someone think of the people who are attracted to and hold a state monopoly on violence.

This. One of the points of this whole endeavour is self-hosting, in the name of resisting centralization.

Imagine if Mozilla had hostes its website on Geocities.

And won't somebody think of the private sector! It just doesn't have enough control over the public good!

corporate profits decrease very slightly

This is the thing that people will reflexively point to, but this:

quality of life increases

This is the real issue. If quality of life increases, workers are less desperate, and are less willing to put up with their employers BS. Moreover, if other jobs are also paying a living wage, it's much easier to quit.

We have seen, over and over, that businesses are willing to spend money to exert control over workers. They'll do it even if it means a decline in profits, or even in revenue. Because at the end of the day, if you have your needs met, any money left over is just power, and power is meant to be used to control others.

Maybe people should just understand that you don't @ me if you don't want me to chime in. It's actually pretty fucking rude.

Yes! Also just recency of posting vs recency of replies/upvotes.

Hey, that second array is the whole diet of someone I knew in university who "hated sauce".

Is this guy Trump's VP pick because he's the only person he could find that talks like Trump? The guy's a rotting word salad machine

Aww man, am I the only straight person in the room again? Story of my adult life

By the way, the spell does not allow for divorce - it's strictly "till death do us part".

Which has... consequences

Is great until you need a job. It solves the 2 language problem right up until you're working with others.
