I believe he is also on the record saying that being detained while having to prove your citizenship is a minor inconvenience. He definitely seems to be speaking from his own perspective rather than that of anyone likely to have to deal with the outcome of these rulings.

Sadly, this is consistent with my experience with hospitals. The schedules are constantly in flux and no one bothers to tell the patients/advocates. It really sucks and seems unnecessary. Sorry that happened to you.

Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

I hope that’s more clear.

Ah yes, like food, water, and air—impossible to live without!

Word to the wise: leaving makes space for alternatives that clinging to hinders.

Thanks for your reply, and good luck with your mysterious education campaign!

Sorry if I’m being dense, but just to make sure: you’re saying China is preparing to protect itself from an upcoming Japanese invasion?

Interesting. Genuine question: how do you propose to compel to work those who are wealthy enough to live without working?

Under this plan, would the farms be nationalized, or would people be forced to work for the profit of private farm owners?

I thought someone running for political office can’t be arrested or tried for a crime in case they eventually win election (at which point all possible charges are automatically dropped)?
