Doom co-creator John Carmack is headlining a 'toxic and proud' sci-fi convention that rails against 'woke propaganda' | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Carmack heads the list of "guests" at the upcoming event that bills itself as a sci-fi convention for people "tired of woke propaganda." I am shocked at this development. Totally. Shocked. -
How do you feel about people working while high or drunk?

If I can tell that a person is visibly intoxicated, I would terminate them on the spot without the least bit of hesitancy. I'm fairly lenient/tolerant about quite a number of things, but workplace intoxication is an area where I draw a hard line. -
My position is that if Christ genuinely wanted the "left-leaning option" to be the default, then he would've explicitly instructed his followers to ensure that the overall societal structure reflected this desire. However, because he was infinitely more concerned with the spiritual rather than the temporal, this wasn't priority for him in the least and therefore he essentially left it up to the individual.

I really have issues with the left's tendency to ascribe a modern political context to Christ's teachings as it's ahistorical, irrelevant, and generally won't serve the objectives of a left-wing ideology. Nothing Christ said even remotely supports an overall leftist reading of his beliefs save from a few highly-selective examples. Hell, I could easily make the argument that Christ espoused a more or less "libertarian" outlook as he never insinuated that "the State" should practice his moral outlook but rather emphasized the actions of the individual. In fact, I really do take issue with the notion that Christ was any type of "revolutionary" as his own "Render unto Caesar" quote genuinely appears to be an affirmation of obedience to temporal authority. Besides, he was only tangenitally concerned with the affairs of this world and directed his teachings towards preparing his followers for the world to come. In summary, resist the temptation to fit Christ's words into a leftist connotation because it really just doesn't work.

It's not like that at all as you simply can't assume that each and every copy would sell at the equivalent of US $70 when converted from the national currency. You also have to factor in the mix of retail vs digital sales as retail sales will result in a lower percentage of the revenue going back to Nintendo as retailers will take their cut, distributors will take their cut, etc.
