It's interesting, I agree with what you say here and this is what I thought you were saying... But when I read it the first time without additional context it kind of sounded like the argument was that we are infantilizing the older individuals. It appeared that the argument could have been: we make the "rules" and apply them to the older half because they are the ones who are incapable of dealing with their emotions, needs and desires.

You are right that it is in the subtext. This is the same poor argument that men are unable to control their desires if a woman wears revealing clothing... Just restructured around women being "taken advantage of" by a "smarter more mature male".

It might also have been why the other commenter thought you were defending the conservative position. There are two steps here that you made when the intermediate step could also apply and would be an honestly revolting position to defend. I couldn't quite figure out if it was a reasonable position or a very well hidden dog whistle.

Serious question, who do you think is being infantilized here?

[–] fkn 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many services... Maid service in hotels and hotel services in the industry as well. Taxi/goods delivery(not just food, but things like target 2hr delivery)....

I'm not saying it's good... And I think the fundamental problem exists in these jobs as well... Typing should just not exist. Japan, for example has no tipping... It's ducking fantastic.

Everytime I hear about someone or some agency asking for a lie detector, I know that they or the people running the organization are full of shit.

On a cosmological scale the real answer and 4 are effectively the same number.

Edit: not sure I understand the down votes...

I thought this rule was about Minecraft until I read the comments...

I think it's more classless as in you don't have to pick fighter or wizard... You can just put your points in whatever skills you want and build novel characters. 🤷

It's more like 16% sentenced to death are innocent. The point of the seemingly endless appeals is that the process is so fucked already more than 15% of the initial sentences are changed during appeal because someone somewhere fucked up... And you want to add more people to this process?

😂 Do you not understand hypotheticals?

It obviously isn't. You can see it sparking in the video as it energized the wire. If it was to ground those minor sparks would have been massive arcing and that wire would melt.
