Was that taken off cause people were not able to take criticism?


My guess is that anything that discourages views interferes with the profit flow.

Remember the old saying: "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."

Did not know that saying, but its true.
For me this is the same as taking away freedom of speech from me.

The vote system is not effective, because it assumes everyone's opinion is equal.

So If an idiot, says, Eating meat makes you strong, on the internet that has as much leverage as a licensed physician/scientist saying, no it causes cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Then you have the blue and red maga, who are functionally illiterate, and they just latch onto which ever blip agrees with their existing "narrow" "myopic" world view.

Free speech in general, is too broad a notion to enforce, and that's why we've never truly enforced it. We've done it as window dressing, but push comes to shove, black body bag and an unmarked grave .

I finally didn't get employed at the place where I had had an internship, i.e. modern slavery. It didn't come as a surprise, but it still feels bad.

They never told Tp4 that the hardest thing in doin' dat a capitalism is the amount of day, afternoon, night alcohol.

Seriously what is up with making money, then deciding alcohol+++.

Long term, it seems virtually impossible to avoid alcohol-ism.

Also very weary of "tea",  it's droogs-lite. The source of all conflict.

Met a bio-hazard xpurt 2 day.  Most people's kitchens basically are hazard zones.

Luckily for all of us, cooking is an effective sterilization process.

Heating, yes.

I once ordered a raw-food salad at a café that also served fish. I'll never do that again.

Something ingrained in me since a very early age: Always leave the kitchen cleaner than when you started cooking, and I still strive for that every time I prepare a meal. Admittedly it is much easier to do when you only cook for one.

Hard to know. Neither of my kids got that gene, I don't think they get much satisfaction from being in a tidy space.
