They can add a secondary title. And they're drafting legislation to change the primary title. Seems pretty simple.

None of what you said is true. You're the bubble I'm talking about. Until people like you start dealing in facts the pendulum will continue to swing right as it pushes people like me further in that direction.

This is it, exactly. I used to be a very "live and let live" type of person. Then the relaxed "let live" part got abused. I've seen what happens first hand having lived in NYC for 6 years, and now living in London.

This is how you lie with statistics. What percent of the US population is eligible to vote, what percent actually voted, and which percent did Kamala receive?

49.8% of the population voted for Trump, myself among them. First time voting Republican. Everything I've seen so far from Trump is what I voted for. And almost everything Democrats have said and done has reaffirmed my choice. Every on

It's about leverage, which you mentioned. If you have no leverage during a negotiation and your counterpart has can say 'no' without having to give up anything then you're screwed. America doesn't have to be the bes

It's almost impossible because one side goes into a tizzy when Trump's name is mentioned, then the other side or just people in the middle like you have to calmly layout their argument with evidence. There is one side that makes i

If the thing you did when entering a country was break the law by entering illegally, you should be removed. Just like if I broke into your house, I'm no longer a guest -- I'm a criminal. You're finding nuance where there is

Guests in a country should follow some basic rules, starting with the laws. Who here would be happy if you invited a guest into your house and they ignored your customs like no shoes in the house or clean up after yourself. Why should count

For the Americans looking at this act, you're maybe putting it in the context of American politics and thinking who cares if the porn sites have my face or id. But in the UK you can be arrested and jailed for saying something online th

It's not as simple as Woz good, Jobs bad. We wouldn't even know who Woz was without Jobs. Sure Jobs had character flaws but everyone does. Is there a world where you get get a person who has all of Jobs's positive traits with

The problem I have with ozempic is that it's a bandaid on a deep wound. If I can take ozempic, eat poorly (just less volume), and still lose weight then my and most people's lazy brain will say keep doing what you're doing. W

Not all problems, but yes too much fat is one of those problems that's easier to fix.

Doesn't ozempic just make you eat less because you're less hungry?

Two things get in most people's way: nutritional knowledge and emotional control. Health and age is a factor for some ofc but can you honestly say that people know the nutritional value of what they're eating and also can emotiona

This, like much of the pharmaceutical approach to well-being, is treating symptoms and not the problem. Metabolic dysfunction? Fix the metabolism. Poor understanding of nutrition? Fix the understanding. Lack of emotional or self-control? Fi

I'm an American living in London and I'd gladly return to the US just for the healthcare. Granted I'm in tech so that's steady employment with benefits, but there you go.

We pay either way. Pay to stay healthy or pay to stop being sick. You only get so many chances to be sick before you can't come back from one, or it alters your life so severely you'd wish you were dead anyways. I'll opt for

You're implying there was an abundance of diversity of thought before 2024 or 2016. Was there? Academia has been this way for decades.

Your response reveals the way you're thinking about this. i.e. If I accept and employ a conservative person then I'm aligning with conservative values and betraying liberal values. What the GP is proposing is abandoning this black

The people who are pro illegals either 1) face zero consequences for not enforcing the border laws, 2) illegals themselves, or 3) people who are anti-anything-Trump/Republican. America isn't a town square that the world is somehow

We might know the inner workings of the "machine" but we can control inputs (food) and measure outputs (weight). Let's say I eat 3 hamburgers per day and gain ~1kg per month. If I reduce that to 2 hamburgers per day I maintai
