Libertarianism, too. It seems ideologies go out the window when you become trapped in a cult

Disgust is too broad a term. It's a social avoidance mechanism, a pathogen avoidance system, and so much more. If the stimuli comes in through odor, it follows a different path than if it comes in through vision, and if it's an imagined item or something we read about in a book, it follows yet another path. The question is in the OP is so broad as to be unanswerable.

Also, everyone on staff is 100% volunteering their time to help with this, plus all of us members are here voluntarily and are owed nothing... Phi is super polite. My immediate thought, however, was:

Snapchat permanently banned Trumps account today, too. The city of New York has backed out of all contracts with the Trump organization. Marriott and many other companies have pulled contributions from all congress people who opposed certifying Biden’s win. I’m pretty sure Hertz just said they would even rent Trump a car and Nathan’s wouldn’t serve him a hot dog. Okay... that last one was made up, but wow!

I imagine that would help in a number of ways. As it went today, however, they did a verbal call for Ayes and Nays. The chair ruled that the Ayes have it, but a Republican representative asked for a role call vote. Doing so forced everyone to put their name to it.

Each state sets their own minimum wage locally, but it must be >= the federally mandated minimum. https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage

I demonstrated the concept of subtraction to my children by eating their French fries. It worked quite well, and served the parallel purpose of being an education in social interaction with people more powerful,than you... that life isn’t always fair. Sorry... yours is a weird OP

We tend to align in these topics. I’m just trying to present the other sides position fairly

I thought this looked strangely familiar: https://thescienceforum.org/eternal-return-and-stable-time-loop-t3041.html#p40835

Me: This is the topic I want to discuss Others: Discuss topic Others later: It's sorta kinda related to this other topic ... another page of off-topic responses on that other topic... Me: Guys, this isn't the topic I'd hoped to explore. It's interesting, this just isn't the right place Reported. Hoping to split the 2nd impeachment of DJT comments into a separate thread and keep this one focused on businesses deplatforming him.

Not in gerrymandered districts, they're not. What about companies like Walmart who employ more workers than nearly anyone else, yet rely most heavily on that same welfare you cite in order for their workers to survive? I don't see Walmarts profits declining... quite the opposite. You really need to do a better job of rooting your comments in reality than in biased fictions. This is very true and applies well to the massive / global chains of fast food, but is a more difficult argument to make for the smaller / local restaurants and mom & pop shops. If they are barely making ends meet and have 5 employees, paying each of them $15 instead of $10 (while the right thing to do) is very likely going to put many of them out of business. The same issue was felt more prevalently by them when healthcare coverage was required under ACA.

But as swansont already pointed out to you, our elected representatives very much are (except a tiny marginal handful of others here and there), and those are the ones writing the legislation.

I created this thread, and I'm directly telling you it's off-topic. Please take these queries here instead: If you're unable or unwilling to comply voluntarily, I'll report your post so it's done for you. Thanks.

Talk to their marketing and PR departments, then. Or just chalk it up to human laziness when typing. What's the point of this thread, again?

And the business owners who are the ones required to pay this higher wage recognize it comes out of their own profit margin and so rather consistently fight against and attempt to block it.

We also have evidence of how preventing their use from these platforms DOES reduce and even eliminate the spread of their ideas. See, for example, what happened with Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos... how their revenues dried up and their audiences scaled down in size by several orders of magnitude.

And he was impeached on those charges, too... successfully. The question of his guilt was never decided, however, because the Republican controlled Senate rejected the articles of impeachment passed over by the House and refused to allow witnesses and further discussion... basically, a proper trial never occured. Again... this is not a thread about impeachment (unless you're suggesting tech companies have that power? granted... it wouldn't be inconsistent with some of the other ridiculous claims you've made in your various posts, but it's clearly off-topic here... ).

Many have, and work of law enforcement to ascertain their location and charge them with these things continues. It's like you're asking me if the water is running in the bathtub, how come it hasn't overflowed? Well... the water just got turned on a few seconds ago, dude. Wait a few minutes, will ya?

It depends. You need to be far more specific about the actual circumstances and species and protest involved.

It depends on the circumstances. Details matter. What is the environment and ecosystem under discussion? What prey and predatory animals are under discussion? The answer will differ based on those details. There is no "one size fits all" answer.

Because light can never be at rest. By definition it always moves at "the speed of light," and thus it does not have a valid reference frame. A valid reference frame (at rest relative to something else) is required for the experience of time.

Derp... I'm gonna go get another cup of coffee, because I actually knew that before I typed! Thanks for the correction, sir

Your premise is false. You're arguing against strawmen. There is no discrimination based on political opinions. The issue is intent to cause harm toward others, to incite violence, and to encourage sedition against a freely and fairly elected government in a Constitutional Republic. It's the hateful nazi views that are being suppressed. The fact that so many people (including yourself) see that as equivalent to suppressing your political opinion is itself rather telling about the validity of said opinion. Did you seriously just cite Geraldo Rivera as a constitutional expert?!?!? 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂🤣 *** Gentle reminder to all that this is not the impeachment thread. This one is focused on technology companies clamping down on activities that lead to needless death and division.

Good and Evil are also relative terms contingent on subjective biases. What's evil to the prey animal is good for the predator, yet both exist in the same one society together.
