You also “pay” for our huge corn and gas subsidies, to bomb brown people, and to practically give away the anywhere from $80 to $200 billion in PPP loans that went straight into the pockets of the 1%, but that never seems to bother you lot.

The only thing I like about my credit card is that it’s more protected from fraudulent transactions than a debit card. That means I’ll use it for random gas stations and the like, but anywhere I know I’ll go out of my way to avoid it.

It’s total bollocks that financial institutions managed to insert their own tax into a huge portion of consumer commerce, let alone how badly they take advantage of the financially illiterate and the desperate. There’s no reason credit card merchant fees should be so much higher than debit card merchant fees, but they are.

“Wow denmark’s doing a good thing I hope others follow”

“Reee what about completely unrelated bad things Spain has done”

Why would anyone even bother arguing with that, engaging further with you wastes everyone’s time

What a super relevant and definitely good faith point to bring up!

I’m failing to see in the article any sort of control for the whole “higher rate of liver failure” - that’s because of alcoholism. It says those accepted advance the same - but nothing about why others are rejected. If they’re rejected because they still don’t have their alcoholism under control, that’s the same treatment any other race would get.

Is it great? Hell no! Have native americans been dealt a shitty hand and is their tendency towards alcoholism due to society failing them? Absolutely. But being denied a liver transplant due to not being expected to take care of a new one is just standard fare. Solve the issues driving them to alcoholism, the liver transplant system is working fine.

Souls games are honestly just pretty rhythm games. The queues are obscured and the timing can be quite silly, but it’s the same core gameplay.

Oh wow, lookie here folks, we have a rebel who isn’t interested in one of the largest sporting events of the year. Ladies, please form an orderly queue.

“No system is perfect” motherfucker we can see how free/cheap higher education works in several european countries and yeah, they use grades to select students, same way U.S. schools do.

Also, how is the free market any better than your first ~~strawman~~ concept? Only instead of the gubmint telling you you can’t go, it’s exceeding expensive educational facilities and the circumstances of your birth.
