Anything that reduces harm, is by definition, harm reduction.

Their goal isn’t to get people to vote Trump but push the democrats to work harder for their vote. They post in a gender queer instance.

Words have meaning in political discourse, and no, they’re not.

They’re neo-liberals. Both fascism and neo-liberalism are totalitarian. The former is also authoritarian. And their ways of totalizing are different.

Neo-liberalism appropriates everything that’s not itself and turns it into a commodity. This is its form of totalitarianism; colonialism and cultural appropriation for the sake of the ‘market’. I.e. theft.

Fascism extinguishes everything that’s not itself. That is its form of totalitarianism, genocide. I.e. murder.

Neither one particularly plays well with others (hence them both being totalitarian). And both are willing to steal and both are willing to murder. But the end goals of each are much different and fascism is much worse, as you know as a jewish person.

And a Trump presidency would be a fascist one. With Trans people first on the chopping block after Trump’s political enemies.

So, no. Both sides are not the same. And I’m also frustrated with the democrats. But yes, this is harm reduction. A neo-liberal or a fascist. Thieves or psychopaths. Those are the choices. Or vote third party. Or don’t vote. But in November, we know it will be Biden or Trump who gets the nomination.

I’ll vote for the thief personally. Because I practice harm reduction and live in a swing state.

Yeah I figured it wasn’t really about the money. My thought was if you offer them a discount then they still feel like they’re being treated special, and maybe they’ll be more willing to pay you using methods that you can track better for your business purposes.

Maybe offer a small friends and family discount while stressing things can’t be under the table for tax reasons.

Did you read the article? Google is not an insurance company. So, why is my hospital sharing information with them? And why wasn’t that disclosed in the privacy policy?

Those are the types of questions this study raises.

They’re easy to catch with a plastic cup and a piece of paper.

I don’t think I have killed a fly in nearly a decade.

Making money for shareholders is the only moral compass corporations have.

So… make more money is the right thing to do and everything else is a means to that end. Even feel good slogans and corporate mottos.

Yeah, the word for automatic behavior is compulsion/addiction. It’s a step beyond a habit. Nearly as hard to change (without help) as breathing.

The habit is the part that says oh I should brush my teeth.

But it’s also the part that says, nah, I should just keep playing on my phone.

They’re both habits. The one you engage in more is the one that will probably end up happening without some effort and self discipline.

Making new habits when you have strong habits encouraging you to follow old routines is never easy and takes practice to get right, neurotypical or not.
