Not really, it may use electron for the front end, but a huge amount of what makes vscode useful and fast is the native binaries that power all of its functionality.
When it comes to your weight, it's not about pushing the thought of your weight gain out of your head. It's about combating the lies that you are telling yourself about your weight gain: that it means you are lazy, unlovable, disgusting, etc. The way you be happy in spite of your weight gain is not to either commit to the work or choose to ignore it (although for peoples health it's definitely good to commit to the work) but is rather to not view your weight gain as a statement of your self. You are not your problems, you are not your weight.
As evidenced by the poster above quoting MLK as if MLK would be opposed to CRT. Also interestingly, the post on the front page the other day discussing that MIT lecturer who argued that everything in college should be based of merit and fairness instead of taking into account race and discrimination and minority status. Like you said, nothing about that is strictly racist, but it does result in race biased results. Namely that white and often east asian families are more likely to have their children be setup in early childhood to be on a path to ivy league (prep schools, private tutors, etc) than black, latino, and indigenous families. Just boiling it down to merit, or who "deserves" to be there completely ignores the circumstances and challenges faced by minorities and disadvantaged people to get to where they were at.
Ehhhhhh. This isn't really that close to truth.
These claims are based off of something called the International Poverty Line. This is the poverty line of the poorest country in Earth. In 1990 it was surviving off of $1/day. In 2015 it was survivng off of $1.90/day.
There are not many places in the world people can survive on $1.90/day. I don't care what the IPL says, you are still in extreme poverty if you can only scrounge up $2/day. Many experts argue that the real poverty line should be $5-$15 dollars a day in order to meet peoples basic survival needs. Besides, most of those gains made against poverty were made in China.
The reality is, while people have nicer things the poor are still getting poorer. While more people are getting out of the International Poverty Line, a disgusting amount of people continue to live in poverty. And the third world's continued exploitation by liberal developed countries (not at all claiming the illiberal countries are doing better, just the Liberalism is the prevailing ideology in the world) is a huge cause of the issue.
Says who? Our survival, as does the survival of almost all life, actually depends on Cooperation. I'd highly recommend checking out the book Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Pyotr Kropotkin. You can find it for free online (legally, its public domain) https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/4341 .
No. It is not. People have been selling their wares at markets for thousands of years. Capitalism has only been around for about 500 years.
Capitalism is a system of economics where the means of production (Capital Goods) are owned privately by the owning class (The Capitalist). It's a relationship between the owner class, and the worker class. Owning the farm and employing workers would be Capitalist. Selling wares to a market is just commerce/trading.
>You aren't required to present your ID to other (non official) citizens on the street unless they are working in an official capacity or the law dictates that you must do so,
That's because no one owns the streets. There's nothing wrong with someone carding people before letting them into their private property. Which is what FB is.
>Imagine if you were asked for ID each time you bought a burger at McDonalds... Pretty silly right?
That would be pretty silly. Not illegal. But silly.
What? You don't need authority to ask to see someone's ID. I have to show my ID to every cashier when I buy beer, or weed. I give my ID when I take a test drive in a car, when I apply for a rental. There's nothing nefarious about asking for someone's ID and it certainly doesn't require any 'authority'.
We thought it was going to be exhausting like you said, and one of our guys even brought up that he was very introverted and didn't know if he would be able to do this. To our surprise, the days go by faster (not just because they are shorter), we get done with more work than we did before, and although yes we are tired after working all day, we all look forward to doing it again the next day.
It's true, mobbing isn't for everyone. But for us it couldn't have worked out better.
Outside of that, things have been running smoothly.
