Yes, it’s not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.

23·2 years agoExcept they don’t even attempt to look like good people. Satan would think he’s been doing it all wrong, he should’ve just said “I’m here to rule over you all and destroy the world, vote for me”.
I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

271·2 years agoOf course. The more you have to spend on shelter, the less you have for everything else.
Cuts should be made at the top, not the bottom. Always. If you have to raise your rents, no you don’t. You have spare properties, you’re doing fine.

631·2 years agoThey should all be able to vote. From prison, too. The punishment never needs to be to take their voting rights away. If they commit fraud, stop them from committing fraud again.
I’d say if we were to abolish libraries, we should abolish copyright as well, because they serve the same purpose. Copyright is an artificial barrier, a social contract to promote sharing ideas and creative works. There’s nothing inherent about copyright, it doesn’t exist if we don’t want it to. So why should we want it to?

501·2 years agoThe responsibility of parents isn’t just to feed their kids until they’re 18, but to raise them and give them what they need to become independent adults. A responsibility shared with the government through public services and social safety nets.
Without the parents, it should mean the government has all of responsibilities and can’t throw people out on the street if it hasn’t finished the job.
Later that week, Gonzales went to Calvary Church, where a volunteer offered to pray with her and another woman joined in. Gonzales had told pastors at both Calvary and Sagebrush churches that she was homeless and living on the street. One pastor prayed with her and signed her up for a baptism.
Oh, good, there’s someone we can recruit.

Lemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.world•After watching the 2nd episode of 11th season of Futurama, I googled "Futurama S11E02 discussion" (without quotes) and Lemmy.world was the 2nd result. We can do it, guys.
4·2 years agoYeah, I didn’t pay attention to those airing dates, but I see on IMDB they start season 4 on season 3’s Roswell That Ends Well and it’s a jumble compared to the production order. So 5 seasons out of the original 4, then the movies, then 2 seasons per season.

8·2 years ago4 original seasons, plus movies, plus 3 more seasons. Not sure how it ended up as 11, seems the 6th and 7th seasons are divided up into 2 parts each, maybe the movies are counted as 2 as well?
Each movie is the length of about 4 episodes.
