How about tell your friend "hey, I'm not looking for a conversation right now, just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you"?

To the OP: People don't have a right to housing. If the rent is too high, find cheaper rent, a smaller apartment or a worse location. go buy your own house or apartment. Lots of options here and you are entitled to none of them! You are, however, entitled to the right to pursue all of them within the terms that the current owner sets. The property owners hold the cards (always have, always will)... if that bothers you, set your sights on how to become a property owner.

Be fair warned though that by the time you achieve property ownership you'll understand why your current understanding here is wrong.

I disagree. He was flawed for sure. Egotistical, and too extreme. but his fame was due to his critical thinking. If anyone spent the time to listen to him instead of hearing other commentor's opinions ilof Limbaugh's edited sound bites they would understand. Maybe not agree, but understand anyway.

It is a mistake to assume the cleverness of an analogy is proportionate to the accuracy

This is practically the concept of City, County, State, and federal governing

You're an adult. Who messaged another adult about Pikachu on the internet. You got off easy.

Have you tried putting your life on hold and freaking out about it? Because those people appear to be super strong minded and great contributors to society these days....

I don't even know who those people are...

That is a whole lot more than 40k lbs of concrete. 40k lbs of concrete is only about 20 cubic yards.

Hold on, the 2010 discruption is simple capitalism. You can tell because there is a CHOICE to partake in the sharing, and a reward for doing so.

The two scenarios are fundamentally very different.

How about this argument....
1st quote: what if creating profit is the reason a life saving product is created? Then the product will never exist and the people die not knowing that some strangers desire to create profit could have saved them.....
.
Regarding the 2nd quote: this suggest either a system has to be perfect or dismantled. Striving for a perfect system is absurd. Even if perfect is possible, the path to it would definitely be through the gradual improvement of an imperfect system.
.
Those two quotes are theoretically inspiring, but, practically speaking, useless.

Currently, men are supposed to initiate the meeting process in a culture where asking women who are not mutually interested is deemed harassment. Then there are some women who enjoy the pursuit so they'll say "no" when they really mean "keep pursuing, i enjoy the banter". Finally, the luxury of calling foul on any point in the process is a gift heald only by women.

V.S.

regularly get hit on by women and all we have to do is say "no thank you" until someone asks who we're interested in.....

Where do we sign up?

Go woke, go broke

Look at you appreciating your accomplishments!

Agreed. Love & Thunder was sadly disappointing!

Being capable of great harm, and choosing not to makes you virtuous. Not being capable of great harm simply makes you harmless.

Now, the FBI helps protect them.. :/

Hey, given all that was known to humanity at that time, his reasoning (if the story is true) was reasonably sound! It's foolish by todays' knowledge of course.

Ah, Australia and Rome: the two countries know for pioneering the ending of slavery and reation if women's suffrage.
Wait....

Wow! That (lack of) logic is ...... well ...... astounding!

There's a problem with Marx's logic regarding the western world. Nobody is forcing anyone to work whatever job "isn't paying them enough".

Marxism is just a clever way of whining for lazy people.
