That’s Reed Hasting, founder of Netflix.

Isn’t that effectively what they’re doing? They’re using their riches to pay the people with the necessary institutional knowledge to build it in the USA.

It sounds like increased lifespan for men is the reason for the rise in cases.

My money is on Laz making it notoriously impossible again next year. No way he lets this continue lol.

The browser extension permission model is so bad. It’s prevented me from using 99% of extensions I was interested in.

There’s a difference between them having a record of your purchase and them accessing that record for business analysis reasons. If Walmart operated a medical clinic, would you comfortable with their corporate data scientists accessing your

Unfortunately, it doesn’t allay the complaints of driving up the cost of housing for locals. I’m not sure if this is a problem for bigger cities, but there’s been increasing criticism by locals in ski towns and resort cities of remote worke

There are precisely zero examples of anything being shoved down someone’s throat. Unless you’re so incredibly sensitive that the mere presentation of a gay person living their life constitutes shoving homosexuality down your throat. As I sa

I asked for specific examples. If it’s so obvious, it should be easy to provide a couple. If you’re so confident this is occurring, provide examples and be able to defend them. Gesturing broadly at movie titles tells me that you may be awar

Can you provide some specific examples of Disney movies shoving something down your throat? I see this language used frequently but have yet to see any examples of it actually occurring.

It’s both. Tens of thousands of units are owned by individuals looking to cash in on Airbnb in any given city.

In a perfect world, I would agree. But in reality that will never happen, and young people continue to suffer in the meantime. Housing should have never been allowed to become an investment.

by PierceJoy 3y ago
That is exactly what’s happening in many places. A new condo development went up near me, and over 80% of units were immediately purchased by investors. Not giant corporations, but local individuals buying for mainly AirBnB use.

Yep. Studies on helmet usage in skiing and snowboarding showed that as helmet usage became more common, brain injuries increased. People felt more protected and thus took more risks.

I agree that the scale is different, but even the way you’ve phrased it sounds pretty comparable to how humans learn and produce art. Besides scale, how is it different?

> Everyone must do X so that I can feel safe. Why are you assuming that it’s “I” and not “everyone”? In my experience it’s the latter.

I've been watching a lot of "Ozempic experience" YT videos recently because a family member is considering it. It seems like by far the most common side effect is a few weeks of diarrhea. After that, some nausea. Overall, I g

The parent referred to affirmative action, not a specific case. Affirmative action is practised by many organizations in many different forms. That’s what I was replying to. If you’re genuinely interested, you can find well though out opini

True, but many forms of discrimination are legal and good. Minimum age to drive is ageism, but I think we would all agree that it’s a good form of discrimination. You say “no matter how well intentioned” as if the intention isn’t important.

I agree with almost everything you wrote except for the conclusion. In no way is this a third world level of care. Your statement that middle class Canadians are being forced to travel to the US to receive basic services in untrue. The situ

I ctrl-f'd that link for the words "X-ray" and "Xray". No results. Please quote the part that proves I'm wrong.

It's not terrible though. I broke a bone 6 months ago. 2 hours in the ER including x-rays. Orthopaedic surgeon consult 4 days later, including more x-rays. All at no additional cost to me.

> Six month wait time to get an x-ray for a hairline fracture, This is a complete fabrication. You can get an x-ray for anything same day in any Canadian city. There is zero backlog for x-rays.

Based on all available evidence, it is probable I am right. We have no evidence of increased rate of incidence of ALS, which you would expect to see given how many people were vaccinated. You linked to a single case report. It does not esta

Very sorry about your Dad, but you have no evidence vaccination was related to his ALS. Hundred of millions of people were vaccinated in short period of time, and there is obviously a group of people who were always going to develop ALS wit

The number of deaths isn’t the whole story though. Smoking might take 20-30 years off your life. These drugs are killing people in their teens and 20s. The affects on their life are also not the same. We don’t see smokers trying to inject n

I don’t think anyone was telling tradespeople to learn to code. It was more like liberal arts people working at coffee shops. But even so, tradespeople should pray that white collar jobs don’t go away, because otherwise their market will ex
