It's not a matter of the work being trivial or not. You're mainly paying for someone's time. The labor itself is extra on top of that. We need to work to put food on the table and have clothing/shelter. If you're spending your time doing work for someone else, then you can't spend that time on necessities, which means your employer has to provide it through your pay.

Why can't it be both? Just because the work you do can be done by anyone with minimal training, doesn't mean it can't be necessary work for society to function properly.

And what scientific evidence has there ever been suggesting that this is the case? We can't even scientifically evaluate whether another living being has any conscious experience.

What makes a definition then if it's not the usage in common parlance and by experts in the field?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It's similar to the concept of being an outlaw. If you decide to break the laws, then laws no longer apply to you, including those that serve to protect you. If you do not tolerate, then you do not get the protections of tolerance.

Disagreeing with the established definition of a term is certainly an opinion.

But since you've decided not to post this argument, OP no longer has reason to elaborate further. I want to hear about why people hold their unpopular opinions.

From the outside, yes. We don't have anything information about the post-death experience.

So if you don't tolerate the intolerant, then they will be intolerant? I don't follow this logic.

Not having kids to solve the environmental problem is like killing a homeless dude to solve his hunger problems. Sure, you've gotten rid of the problem, but along with it, you've also gotten rid of the entire reason for wanting to fix the problem in the first place.

Couldn't you just leave the country and disappear somewhere with a low cost of living? Not like anyone can catch you moving crypto across borders.

we are [...] arresting around 800 suspects every single month.

Okay, but how many actual criminals are getting convicted with the help of your work? Their focus on the number of suspects rather than convictions makes me think that they were never doing anything useful with the information Facebook provided them.
