You require documentation so you can check if they have a criminal past. If there’s no documentation then treat them like someone on parole and give them an ankle monitor. It’s not rocket science, we just our politicians’ job security depends on not fixing problems.
It’s not even profitable though… At this point it seems it is just about control, like they would rather have a money pit then let independent workers, ie creatives, have any profit.
It’s projection. She knows that in her retirement she has stopped “providing value”. I doubt she paid you for the ad-hoc legal and accounting work you did for her, so she is happy for you to provide value without compensation. I would simply tell her that if she doesn’t want to have to find her own retirement home she needs to start paying for your services. This is the kind of person who thinks value is what you pay for, so long as she isn’t paying you she isn’t valuing what you do for her. The whole “you are a negative value” is exactly what she is to you, she is taxing your time, energy and emotions to make up for some perceived economic loss for raising a child she chose to have.
It took me about 4 tries to find a good therapist. I know it’s discouraging but keep your eyes open for a good therapist.
“I have money in the bank that measures my value”
Remember, every accusation is a confession. If you don’t want to be a waste of time to be around then don’t act like that’s true of others.
Back in the day people would gather on a porch and play music. Relatively free. Wish I knew how to play an instrument …
Oh I didn’t mean that I am a contrarian, obviously we are the exception 😉
More like Jesus became a big problem for people with power and was made to suffer for it. Bonhoeffer was not saying that we should conceal our suffering in a way that it isn’t a problem for others. This was is in a larger essay about how people cope with Nazism at the time, very clear-headed but was calling out those who did little because they didn’t want to suffer and how we judged harshly those who lost everything.
I prefer Bonhoeffer’s take: we should judge people less by what they have or do and more by what they are made to suffer.
Lots of people on the internet are competing for who is the most contrarian.
Yes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.
His donation pledge was more of a flex because he’s increased his net worth more than he has donated. Also, people who were friends with Epstein should not get to decide where that money goes.
The guy is on the Epstein list and his wife left him because he was too friendly to the guy…
He also fucked over our public education system
Most people are living paycheck to paycheck… But if you mean owning stock or a retirement portfolio makes you a capitalist then I think that is still incorrect. People who actually own the company of whose stock you “own” can make decisions that will ultimately decimate your retirement savings while enriching themselves.
It is also true people benefited from Obama’s DACA program. This isn’t a simple trolley problem let alone a single track
I’ll just tell that to my brother in law who just got released from ICE custody. Like I know this picture is probably true for Gaza, but it isn’t for many of my neighbors and family.
You play a different game so that even if you lose on the propaganda front, you still win gains elsewhere.
Software is part of the superstructure comrade.
If they are allowed to train on OSS code then the same is true of proprietary code, they use the same legal mechanisms. Get your code off GitHub…
