Huh, weird. I have premium and the only ads I see are the sponsor spots creators put directly in their videos. When I go to skip them, it even gives me a button to skip those, too.
But if I saw ads despite paying for premium I'd tell them to fuck off, too.
Our local DSA chapter petitioned our local city council, and we got them to terminate their Flock contracts. Now we're trying to get the cameras taken down as quickly as possible even before the current contract expires.
Most of these people have zero idea how bad these things are. Even a little info goes a long way, it seems.
I am not entirely sure what your question means, but here goes.
The Old Testament (aka the Hebrew Bible) is a collection of ancient writings spanning hundreds of years, primarily focused on the (alleged) history of the Hebrew people and the nation of Israel.
The New Testament is a collection of writings from primarily the first and second centuries CE, focused on the (alleged) life and teachings of Jesus, his death and resurrection, and the establishment of the Christian church.
In both cases, my understanding of the scholarly literature (I am not a biblical scholar I just listen to a few on social media) is that they were written by humans for a variety of purposes, then edited and curated over time to try to establish authority and accrue the power that comes with that authority. No scripture as far as we can tell was ever divinely inspired, let alone handed down from a divine being itself.
The King James Bible is just a translation of the Christian biblical canon, largely based on a prior English translation. I'll be honest I have forgotten the purpose behind its creation, and I do not care enough to go find out.
It's true only insofar as "every man" is expected to literally mean 100% of men.
I think it's fair to say most men don't believe they ever mistreat women, even if they do.
But as a man, I also have learned and grown a lot in this area over the course of my own relationships. So change certainly happens, and it's important we keep increasing the share of men who work to unlearn misogyny and treat women better.
In the US, progressive taxation gets called communism, lol.
But yeah. That's kinda what I meant with my original comment. The more progressive EU economies are, to my understanding anyway, outcomes from the more reformist socialist traditions - using the existing democratic government to round off the excesses of unregulated capitalism. And I would take that any day of the week.
I do wish we could have modern mobile OSs and hardware and cellular connectivity without submitting ourselves to constant and ever deepening surveillance.
Is the communism that you voted out the Marxist-Leninist, "people's revolution turned authoritarian state" kind? I'd get rid of that shit, too.
There are lots of other stands of anti-capitalism (eg, democratic socialism, anarchism) that are probably worth exploring. Even if we stick with capitalism but soften it with socialist policies, that's still way better than the minimally regulated capitalism we have in the US.
If you default to compassion, you'll do alright. Stay cool out there.
Man I really need to figure out this "negotiating" thing.
Fuck you dude, lol. We got a Corolla last year, used, for $22k.
Had to look it up. Yep, seems to be that.
Ew. Yeah I'd be upset too.

Hopefully this was helpful?
Oh shit, my bad. Didn't realize what community I was replying in.
"anata ga omotta bicchi" "you thought, bitch" But like, clearly was an English to Japanese Google translate or something

Beach episode, hehe.
Ooooooh, gotcha gotcha.

"spray exposure"?
Aww. It's cute.
Watched this yesterday. Pretty freaking sweet, IMHO. Very much hoping we get a lot more of it.
Por que no los dos?
