Apparently I've been listening to the new Gunship album too much, said I was in the top 1% of Gunship listeners.

I think the feature is cool and I'm looking forward to it personally.

Maybe they should have made it opt in, but social features like this on other platforms like discord and stream aren't, so .. eh.

Some of it stems from religious zealotry (marriage is sacred and permanent).

Some of it is a misguided attempt at rectify the 'single parent' problem, believing that two unhappy parents is better than one parent divorced.

Essentially if you make divorce harder, more couples will be forced to work through their disagreements and reconcile.

It's just so hard to see where we transition from here.

We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy... And now many services are being automated. So what's next?

I'm in favor of the automation but recognize it's going to cause pain in the near future.

I've seen people tout a 'creative based economy', but to be honest LLMs and GANs seen poised to grab that sector before anyone in service can transition to it.

You'd hope all of this would mean an easier life, but so long as capitalism is the name of the game there is zero incentive to spread the benefits among all.

Discrimination against who?

I imagine for the pay.

How are they not?

This comment is the equivalent of some guy telling you that you'll be paid in exposure and that the exposure is going to be worth way more than money in the long run, just trust me bro.

'the allies did worse than the Holocaust' is certainly a hot take.

... That is generally how it works where I live, yes.

Police causalities caused by actions intended to stop a felony are charged to the felon and they are held responsible.

Not that I fully agree with the unscrutinized part but your analogy isn't the best.
