Sick people should get medical treatment not because it's 'fair', but because they are sick.
Hungry people should be fed, not because 'fair', but because they're hungry.
Homeless people -> housing, same deal.
So, yeah, forgive student loans. And fix the loan system; it's rapacious.
Fix broken stuff. Relieve suffering. Don't get hung up on fair while others are bleeding out.

@alana Trusting a private corporations centralized proprietary messaging service to have integrity is like trusting McDonalds to serve you nutritious meals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind plays into a lot of things @cosullivan
For example, many animals like corvids and dolphins et alia have a theory of mind.
So, about 25 years ago my best mate died leaving two teens and a wife who had zero idea how to run their business, so I drove up 1.5 hours to that town twice a week for months sorting things out for her.
To this very day I have been loyal to my marriage vows, but my wife assumed I was having an affair.
Why?
Because she was often disloyal and assumed..

Just want to remind our users at #QOTO that Advertising is the one of the only things that'll get you instantly banned here. I've had a lot of advertisers come through, so, fair warning! If I see it, you're on your way out the door!
Love Dave, one of your friendly Mods. <3

Super impressed you guys can write in kana/kanji. Even romaji doesn't help me, because I know so few words in japanese.
I can recognize a very small handfull of chinese characters. You know, the really complicated ones, like 'sun' :-)

How the 'state of self-pity' that is Brexit stemmed from Britain's victory in WW II
Because there's like zero traffic in my area, I made gqrx play cbc fm. It's the middle of the night here and they are replaying prerecorded stuff.
This o'tool makes some good sense. Just turn it over ffs.

I've just thought. The introduction of Kryten on red dwarf was a sort of version of dinner for one.

I don't always agree with Owen Jones, but here he hits the nail on the head.
The Home Office is cruel and incompetent – it is time it was abolished

@pinkprius The "conservatives" (conservative only with regard to their (peers') money) plan for fighting the #climateCrisis are as concrete, focussed and effective as UK's parliament's plans for #Brexit?
