Update: the original poster replied to be with the anti semitic dog whistle of the day. So I’m right. Maybe next time you’ll believe someone when they call bullshit on discrimination.

Either way I’m about to hop into a plane to the Bahamas so I’m gonna go wash my brain of you people. Reply if you want, but I’m done.

12/10 add in bud.

I’ve still yet to lie. I’ve quoted the sentence in question. By the votes, it seems like I’m the one breathing here. In fact reducing their quote to a “memorial” is the biggest lie in this thread so far.

Maybe you should take your own advice, breathe my dude.

You read it, I’ll quote it for you

Where’s the homeland states for the gays roma and trade unionists?

How is that not asking for equivalency? Asking for the same reparations for a dramatically different cost of life.

I’m not. I’m quoting them exactly. And if that’s not how they meant it, I’m sorry. But those were their words.

Really? Because I’m replying to a comment that in context that I just put it in. Is stating that 6 million Jews is the same as 15k not Jews.

Context matters. The Holocaust happened. People matter, and regardless of who they are from birth, they matter equally.

Quick edit: I’m sorry if that’s not the way the original poster wrote it in, but I’ve seen so much antisemitism in my life, disguised in so many ways and I’m tired of hearing that I’m worth effectively nothing as a person.

Let’s be fair to your comment though. No Jews weren’t the only victims, but. But. 6 million Jews, 4.5 million Russian civies, 3.3 million Russian POWs, a few million more POWs, and then let’s be absolutely honest. Miscellaneous.

Like yes, they did kill off 15k homosexuals, and that’s absolutely horrifying, but in comparison, what was the Holocaust about? Jews. And a convenient place to dispose of POWs.

pacman in my opinion is the easiest package manager ive used but even so if it is that difficult then they can use a GUI package manager that would come pre installed on most GUI arch based distros

Recognizing that’s your opinion, in my opinion it’s the hardest I’ve used. The commands are all flags, so you have to remember letters instead of “install” or “upgrade” if you want to use any packages outside of the like 4 in the official repos, you have to enable AUR, which is effectively just installing from source from some random person’s GitHub repo, in which any number of things can go wrong. I mean, there’s a reason there exist a bunch of different wrappers for pacman.

Okay but like, how often do I actually have to wash a hoodie?

Yeah I have to agree with everyone else. If this is a question you’re actually asking, it’s probably a question for your doctor, because the actual answer should just be “just breathe dude”

I mean you attacked me because you didn’t like a logical, obvious, critique of something. Which again, I never said it was bad, I just said it could be improved. And you said things that I just repeated back at you, and now you can’t handle your own words?

Goodness me indeed.

Of course the CEO equivalent exists in government. It’s just a management position. Equivalent services will need equivalent management.

A CEO is not a manager. You’re already embarrassing yourself here 😉

Perhaps you didn’t read my comment. I’ve been a treasurer for a number of medium size charities. I know exactly how much money is needed to support the charities objectives.

I did read your comment, but I kinda assumed you either were lying or getting really defensive. There’s a lot of waste that wouldn’t exist if they were consolidated into the government.

Do you realize that there are multiple charities for the same thing, which just means more and more waste?

For example?

Yeah sure, since it’s already been brought to. The red cross does blood donations, but they’re only 35% of America’s non profit blood donations, there’s also America’s blood centers and vitalent and more! So much overhead! If they were all one organization, you could eliminate much of the overhead and more effectively coordinate the blood donations.

Sorry mate, this is just an absurd thought bubble borne of naivety. Get involved in a charity and you’ll understand why it exists.

Sorry mate, but you’ve got your head up your ass and you’re getting defensive.

I have been involved in both charities and government.

I mean, you can look anywhere, whether it’s upwards of 70% of medical donations not being used: https://academic.oup.com/inthealth/article/11/5/379/5420717?login=false#151492984

Also you can dive into the problems with definitions of “the cause” https://hbr.org/2009/06/beware-of-highly-efficient-cha

A charity can loosely define what counts as their cause which means they can tell you that 95 cents on the dollar go to the cause, even if it’s only 20 cents.

Moreover it’s really suspect that the rich keep getting richer even in the “nonprofit” sector: https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/4/24/15377056/big-charities-best-charities-evaluation-nonprofit

Furthermore, even from an innocent standing. When you have multiple charities working on the same thing, that’s crazy inefficient.

Let’s talk about the Red Cross, great organization. One of the things they do is blood donations. They’re responsible for about 35% of the blood donations in the US, the rest come from other non profits.

That means there’s competition among the non profit blood donation organizations to provide blood for emergencies. Whether they want to compete or not, they have to.

Just from a blanket statement, if you moved all of those blood donations under a single entity, you remove a lot of inefficiencies.

You don’t need to advertise for multiple organizations, you don’t need to coordinate with all those different organizations during a crisis, you don’t have the same overhead for the same problems across multiple organizations. It’s just by design, inefficient. It’s not their fault.

So first off, you can totally volunteer for government things. I mean, I can volunteer at my local government library for instance, there’s nothing about a government contract that removes the ability to volunteer.

But I wouldn’t need to have volunteers if the red cross and all competing charities were swallowed up into one thing.

There are a bunch of organizations that do the same or part of what the red cross does. That’s a lot of wasted time of resources, that would be better spent lumped together as a collective unit.

Charity is simply one of the places you absolutely don’t want competition/capitalism. You want oversight and efficiency, that’s the government.

That was the point of my comment.

I think ideally the point of charity organizations should be a stop gap measure that identifies issues the government needs to address, and then temporarily addresses them.

How that works in practice 🤷‍♂️

I’m not saying the soup kitchen shouldn’t exist. It’s absolutely necessary, it should just be part of the guaranteed baseline, provided by the government.

The CEO equivalent doesn’t exist in government. Your entire argument is pointless.

Do you realize how little a CEO does?

Do you realize how little the actual money donated to an organization trickles down to the cause?

Do you realize that there are multiple charities for the same thing, which just means more and more waste?

In fact in pretty much every instance of a modern government taking over a service, it becomes cheaper and more efficient. That’s why many governments run utilities, and healthcare.

Look I’m not saying your service is useless, but I am saying it would be more efficient elsewhere.
