Many groups have wanted an "online passport" for a long time now and it's hard for me to not see this as another attempt veiled by "won't someone think of the children".

Once this starts it'll be required for everything.

I was referring to the perception from the results of the trial by the public, but you've given me quite a bit to mull over. Appreciate the context.

Yeah you're right and I think we're looking for civily liable instead of conviction in this scenario - not that it should make a difference.

No, you made a series of claims above without evidence. Let's start with your claim that instant gratification has spilled into the workplace and is a cause for the problems as you see them.

Disagree - there is a degree into which the needs of a managers direct report should be taken into account. Ignoring these needs in full comes with the risk of turnover and productivity loss. It's a balancing act between business and employee needs. Again you're taking it the the extreme by saying an employer should kowtow to the employee when the reality is that it should be a good balance in an ideal scenario and not entirely in either direction. A balance leads to the best outcomes for both parties.

As a native English speaker I fully agree that your intuition makes sense and I've also always hated this phrase because it does sound backwards.

I fell into this bottomless pit and don't know when I'll upgrade. My 2070 super is great but showing it's age and I've waited so long that now effectively the entire interior of my case needs to be upgraded. Just can't justify the cost right now as I know it'll amount to 1k+

This is a good take but it disregards the realities of the financial recipients being unable to account for funds spent. I agree there are special circumstances but we need to have visibility to those realities as benefactors. Otherwise how can we allocate funds democratically.
