They are. Ticketmaster does dynamic pricing now for big shows. Accurate pricing is basically inaccessible beforehand; there’s no chart like in the past with various sections costing specific $s. For the Taylor Swift show in Seattle they pub

We shall see. The Supreme Court heard arguments in Haaland v. Brackeen last week about this very subject (regarding if the Indian Child Welfare Act violates the Equal Protection Clause). We’ll know the outcome in the Spring.

For what it’s worth - I have never seen ‘incestuous relationships’ used in any way other than the common usage of referring to ‘nefarious bedfellows’ Edit: grammar, for clarity.

Generally you just have your wages garnished for as long as you have an income. This would include Social Security. If, somehow, you came into significant funds again you could probably negotiate a one time payment to satisfy the judgment.

Social media is dramatically different in that most kids[0] now have a social media machine in their pocket and at their beck and call all-day-every-day. In years passed during school hours kids had much less dragging their attention away f

Anecdote of one: I am an American that does not own a microwave and does own an electric kettle. We are legion.

Nobody I have ever met is against circumcision because it is a common practice amongst Jews. Everyone I know, including myself, is against it because it is a wholly unnecessary and irreversible procedure forced on a child before the child h

A point of note: the phrase was popular in the climbing/skiing/snowboarding/mountain biking communities years and years before the frat boys appropriated it for activities mostly pertaining to drinking a lot and being a degen

As another commenter pointed out, I bet this is from people being a bit young when Seinfeld came out and not getting the humor. I always thought Seinfeld (the show) and Seinfeld (the comedian) were both square and not edgy at all… then I wa

In the last decade I have never paid more than $0.00 for an iPhone. Just wait for mobile carriers to offer free phones. I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon 2 weeks ago and got a 128gig iPhone 13 mini for free. I actually wanted the SE becau

Are people surprised by this? The vast (super?) majority of people on this planet seem to consciously claim to know or believe in supernatural things they cannot possibly know and that there is absolutely no evidence for. People appear to b

Just a random example: I’m involved a bit in the Magic: The Gathering resale market and I know plenty of unscrupulous sellers who would gladly buy fake stamps to send their merchandise if it would save them even a few cents on every sale. P

Again, from Taubes’ own webpage: “In Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes tries to bury the idea that a low-fat diet promotes weight loss and better health. Obesity is caused, he argues, not by the quantity of calories you eat but by the qua

Avid hunter and meat eater here. Getting in to spear fishing next week. I cited to those three studies because they were directly funded by Taubes’ foundation and designed to prove Taubes’ claims and failed to do so .

You can read the studies here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2673150 and here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/oby.22468 They are both thoro

Taubes is probably not a good citation for assessing scientific theories… his own initiative, NuSI, funded studies that debunked his primary dietary claims and yet he continues to peddle the same lies to this very day.

Ownership and use are two totally different things though. I lived with a wealthy family in Hamburg and they owned 2 cars and a vacation home in Southern Germany… and they seldom drove except to the house in the South (sometimes) and, maybe

This is known issue, at least of late. There was a recent article posted here (can’t find it right now on mobile) about how that New Car Smell is caused, to some degree, by known carcinogens.

Tangentially related - it seems there are other things that, if experienced early enough in life, have significant health benefits that are triggered if-and-only-if the catalyst occurs at the right time. For example, pregnancy at a young ag

It’s not writing it off (whatever that means here) but if you’re asserting Buddhism, Daosim, and Shinto do not have many foundational faith-based/supernatural elements you may want to review their sacred texts. Jainism I am less famili

Because the whole premise and foundation of religion is that you ought to believe things absent evidence and without good reasons (that’s what faith is). If you have good reasons to believe something you give the reason; religion does not a

This is just a silly red herring - the two issues are not mutually exclusive and addressing the one does not detract from addressing the other. Can someone help me understand why people think that thinking this way is productive, or intelli

If we’re to move humanity forward, intellectually and emotionally, caring about what is true and what is not is important. Regardless of how appealing and placating the lies and delusions are, the truth is superior.

Even if true, George Bernard Shaw dispelled the notion that it is important decades ago: ‘The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness
