It doesn't make any sense to do this as a metaphor. Chocolate is typically divided into evenly sized chunks for measurement purposes, regardless of the evil practices of the chocolate industry.

The metaphor is asinine the explanation is confusing and it's lost on almost everybody who buys this.

I have had this brand of chocolate before and it is quite good however.

There are two primary systems of law in the United States that absolutely must be reformed above any other branch or law.

Immigration and criminal justice.

These systems in the United States are archaic third world and downright discriminatory to anybody that goes through them.

They are truly terrible.

The fact that we even have such systems in place in the United States is mind-boggling.

Other countries look at us and simply call us barbarians.

Bail is an option for the courts to use to insure someone that might be a certain level of flight risk shown up to court.

It's not 100% necessity. People can be released on their own bond commonly referred to as a "personal bond" they don't pay anything and just promise to show up.

Has this bond system been abused as a form of oppression. Of course. We're human after all and there are corrupt shitty judges on the bench.

But for the most part the bond system does function.

This is a very good question.

I'm assuming you mean a range around $5000?

In that case there's really not much in that specific price range.

Ranges in general can cost between 500 and 3000 dollars for a regular range you can get at your local appliance retailer. Here in the states that would be like home Depot or Lowe's.

If you wanted more high end than that you'd have to go much higher up in price. Like past $10000. It's a weird market for ranges.

I recommend Frigidaire for cooking appliances in general they make really good ranges. For less than $1000 dollars you can get a very decent appliance.

I lack a belief in a god or God's. That is not a world view.

However my world view stems from human secularism. One does not have to be an atheist to be a human secularist.

Lacking in particular belief does not define me as a whole person.

If you don't believe in unicorns that doesn't make you a "ununicornist".

In the same sense not believing in God doesn't necessarily make me an atheist.

But more importantly you're not using the words you're using correctly which is why I included the definitions or the concepts you're missing. I can tell you simply ignore those.

Just using Google ai. Think before you speak.

world view: a particular philosophy of life or conception of the world. "I have broadened my worldview by experiencing a whole new culture"

Atheism: disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

Atheism is not a worldview in the sense that it is a lack of belief in gods, and does not provide a comprehensive view of the world. However, many atheists tend to have a worldview that includes empiricist, positivist, or materialist beliefs, and a strong belief in science. This worldview is sometimes called "scientism".

Atheism is the rejection of the idea that gods exist, and is not a belief system that answers other questions about a person's beliefs. Atheists typically believe that the existence of gods is highly improbable, and that there is no persuasive evidence to support the belief.

Atheism is different from identifying as an atheist. While most atheists hold an atheistic worldview, not all of them do. In fact, only about half of those who hold an atheistic worldview identify as atheists.

I work in appliance repair. My favorite appliance to fix are sub zero refrigerators. They're easy to work on, straight forward and the company continues to support their product as far back as models from the 1970s.

Subzero makes nothing more than household appliances a thankless industry plagued by planner obsolescence and they can supply parts for their appliances longer than a medical company.

Uhhhh being on time is the worst! I want to wake up naturally and go to bed whenever the hell I feel like! I can get the same amount of work done 11am to 7pm rather than 9 to 5.

That's a hard yes.

Atheism is not a religion or worldview.

Atheism is the lack of a belief in a god or God's.

Many atheists including myself adhere to the statement of simply being unconvinced that there is a God or having no credible evidence to indicate a God's existence.

Maybe the form we were filling out legitimately needed that information but typically outside of a very specific set of data. I don't see why any form would ever ask you what your religion or lack of religion might be.

People who know.

The ending of that movie still haunts my dreams.
