Right, it adds a moment, which is force times a distance. Which doesn't need to be explained to the average reader, but at least the article should say it puts more weight on the neck, or something like that.

It's quite odd indeed - there's no links to actual research to back up the claims, her statements aren't clarified (saying tilting the head down adds weight - at least specify that it's adding weight to the neck or somet

I see people downvoting so I just wanted to say, as a person with anger towards my dad, this makes some sense to me. He was a terrible father, and surely a large part of that is due to something like poor mental health from a rough upbringi

Is there anything an average person can do to help? An organization I can donate to, or something I can bring up to my representatives?

Aabsolutely. I use glass bottles for water storage, and while they're a bit cumbersome to refill, I won't ever use plastic for this again. It's nice to know there's nothing leaching into my drinking water, plus carrying

I think part of the point here is that some commodities may have highly variable prices for discernible reasons - manufacturing costs, supply/ demand, etc. - and it makes sense to try and get a good deal. For other products, like groce

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I would agree that most of these make a lot of sense if you can afford them. I wonder what the order of importance is - I had a doctor tell me it was sleep > diet > exercise, but where do e.

These all seem like false equivalences. I think it should be "stamping out _online_ murder" etc. And this makes more sense - if people can no longer pursue illegal activities online, they may do so in person. Which I still think i

Even without new vegetarian options at grocery stores, I've been okay with cooking once a week for 2 or 3 hours. Breakfast is an egg casserole/quiche with veggies and chorizo spices or hashbrown. Lunch and dinner might be a lentil

I think it depends on how they go about their lifestyle. Shouldn't we be free to choose whether we want to settle down in one location or wander around, as long as we're not hurting anybody? It seems unlawfully (un-American at lea

I'm confused, you're saying TopHat, the one "changing for change's sake," is doing a bad job, but you're also saying GP is wrong for calling them out?

Is it really "such a straw man"? Serious question, I'm trying to figure it out. The part about "just to listen to some music" is definitely exaggerating, since OP wants to listen to music and relax. Also, GP doesn&#

I'm not sure if you read the entire article, but two of the tips mentioned are talking to coworkers, and taking breaks like walking around. I think it would've been nice if you gave credit to the article for mentioning tips that h

Based on the current political climate, this kind of action also seems to be a ways off. While a clean revolution in laws like that of the 1970s would do much to bring about change, it will be a while before things are bad enough for enough

Thanks for this, it's a good reminder that I should also look deeper into claims!

Maybe you should though. The people receiving the increased donations would probably support that - you did well and increased the value of your donation, so you can be rewarded for that.

In this case investors saw his donation as a sign of lack of confidence in the company, which indicates that he chose to make the donation when he thought he could get the biggest tax break from it. I think it'd be fair for donors to g

From the article: "News of his donation sent GoPro shares tumbling as much as 14 percent the next day, as investors interpreted the move as a lack of confidence in the stock." It's not about wanting the stock to do poorly; as

I thought the tone was reasonable - I don't think NYT said anything about donors spending the money on themselves later. Here are the issues it points out (I had posted this somewhere lower): One issue mentioned by NYT is using DAFs to

He didn't actually give away money though, he gave stock which has since decreased in value dramatically. So he got a huge tax break because of the original worth, but if the stock continues dropping it might not even be worth anything
