That was the biggest mindblow for me, and I really appreciate that the first biblical scholars didn't try to bury the truth when archaeology conflicted with the bible.

How does that video not have more views!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME
Many of these answers are great, thank you for being graet, lemmy is great.
This is a much more legalese take, I feel like some folks would disagree in terms of the spirit of wage theft vs the letter of the concept. I like it though, I appreciate it, I appreciate you.
I'll buy 3 more, thanks for the advice
Interesting, interesting, I appreciate the perspective that wage theft can be committed by employees, although I'd be comfortable committing wage theft against my company, if I was paid hourly, they fucking suck.
Wouldn't the exemption be considered wage theft though? What makes this scenario more complex?
I say we just ignore it, everytime someone mentions it one red blood cell enters the Muskian dick
Well my night is ruined
I'm not even into star wars but star wars fans ruined star wars for me. Ahmed best is my liiiiiiiiiiiife.
I'm a software developer who fell in love with teaching. Unfortunately many companies providing an education in writing code are scams, and I'm sad to say I'm working for one right now. I've been playing with the idea of having free "learn to code" streams, to give people the education without ripping them off.
I also am interested in getting into music production ( I have a year of piano lessons under my belt! humble beginnings lol), and I have an eccentric art style if there is a desire for visuals that don't feel derivative and samey like most modern art efforts. Attached is my most recent art piece.
I'm not just interested in teaching, really I want to just find other people who also enjoy creating and sharing information. I don't care about being rich or going viral. I just want a social ecosystem where "Wouldn't it be cool if..." is likely to be followed up by "Yeah, we should try it", or "No I already attempted that, but here is what I learned."
Anyways I'm here to help how I can!

A number of homeless are indeed are victims of our terrible socio-economic system. However I have heard many homeless outreach workers say the same thing "The ones who stay homeless are the ones who stay addicted". Addiction is a serious issue and the challenge of beating it is nothing we should dismiss, however it is clear some people end up homeless due to drugs and stay homeless due to a refusal to get clean. When your life is centered around just getting high, you won't care much about anything else. All the horrors of living on the street disappear once you get your fix, and some people are okay living like that.
I guess I'm writing all this to say that homelessness is a very complex and nuanced issue. They aren't all victims, they aren't all criminals, they aren't all mentally ill, they aren't all addicts, and for some its the only life they've ever known.
This is why the conversation around homelessness is so difficult. People just latch onto their idea of what being homeless is then build their argument from there, dismissing the remaining context of the concept.
I highly suggest doing homeless outreach to broaden your perspective on the matter (look up a local Food Not Bombs group if you live in a city!). If that isn't something you'd like to do, there are plenty of videos on youtube that give you more insight into the homelessness experience. Obviously watch out for the videos that treat living on the streets as a spectacle or oddity, I absolutely hate these videos because they serve to shock and entertain, not educate.
