Food service and retail needs to exist, (commercial sales) call centers should be banned and their owners shunned from polite society.

So, you like to make “guilt by association” arguments and guess at hidden motives instead of countering someone’s actual arguments. Did JK Rowling speak at a Heritage foundation event? Does her views generally align with the Heritage foundation, do you find?

Yes, obviously her evil plan was to pose as a feminist since her youth just to enable a devious undercover attack on trans people late in life. A good thing so many people online are seeing through this malicious disguise.

“Nazi” is short for National Socialism, yes, as in social ownership of the means of production in service of the national state. Don’t confuse the lazy modern usage of the term “socialism” for the actual historical definition.

And the whole point OP was making is Rowling and Trump are not working together. In fact, they take diametrically opposed stances on most, if not all, issues. And even if you see the end result as equal, they do not agree on this issue either. Their motivations are very different.

So you’re comfortable being vocally opinionated about topics you admittedly have next to no knowledge about. Seems like you yourself might have something in common with the average Trump voter.

As a left-leaning feminist, why would she like Trump? Whatever your opinions of her, even her enemies call her a TERF; RF stands for Radical Feminist. Hardly Trump’s primary demographic.

I don’t live in the US and I don’t have this problem, it returns results from my area in my language no problem. You can also create a lens that locks results that originate in a specific region, haven’t tried that myself yet though since the default works so well. But perhaps it depends on where you live.

Give Kagi a try if you haven’t already. It’ll cost you a little but you can try it for free (100 searches I think) and see how you like it. The advantage of paying for search is of course that you’re no longer the product, so no more selling your data to ad companies every time you search something, plus it’s actually in the providers’ interest to make searching a better experience for you. Just the fact that I never have to see Quora in my search results ever again (I can just block their site) would be worth the price for me. It’s just a little thing that made a huge difference for me since I search the web so many times daily, and for a long time now the results has been mostly useless.

Honestly, considering the genre and the ambition and intent of the song, the lyrics are a notch above the competition at the time. Lynott wrote some really good lyrics at times and while this song is admittedly not the best example of his writing, at least it’s got believable characters and setting. I’d rather hear a song about young working class Irish people and their life-affirming ways than what most other hard rock acts were writing about in the 70s and 80s.

Libraries.

Any university that doesn’t charge tuition fees.

Well, what about

Volvo plunged into Norway fjord before ‘quietly awkward’ occupants rescued by passing floating sauna

All those things are abhorrent, still not the main point, core or raison d’être of religion in any way. One could perhaps say it’s a recurring theme in certain traditions, particularly of the abrahamic variety. Your perspective is very limited and very west-centric; ironically a very christian worldview.

Still wrong. As you are probably aware, religion (broadly defined) as a phenomenon is present in all known cultures throughout the history of humanity, in a myriad of different shapes and forms. The common thread to all of them is not morality.

Well, the main “point” of religion was never to be anyone’s “moral compass”.
