And if that was an actual statement people made, then you'd be right to say that. However, I think we can dispense with the strawman. Ownership exists in the real world, which means it necessarily conforms to the laws of the society in

Which is why that’s an extremely simplistic view. It’s literally the simplest possible idea of ownership.

by baseballdork 2y ago
I would say that _your_ idea of ownership is simplistic. You seem to be implying that ownership is only possible if you can own something in perpetuity without any related responsibilities. It's the same idea as "taxation is theft

What information would you add to make it more well-rounded? I think usually things like the economic cost of wolves diminishing livestock are usually included in these discussions, but that's not really articulated here.

This all makes sense to me. Reddit, as much as I loathe the latest changes, still has a ton of value when searching the web for things. Twitter, on the other hand, has lost practically all of its value. Any time I get linked to it, I can&#x

> By filling up seats with lower fares, it allows the whole route to be profitable. Is this assuming that there would be empty seats if the hidden city nonsense wasn't allowed?

It's really absurd to get punished for paying for a flight and then not taking it. Sorry I either allowed you to double sell a seat or fly slightly more economically without my added mass. You could fix this by not charging me more for

It was called out because OP used "Inshallah". The argument is that it's cultural, and complaining about it is silly.

Shouldn't that be detectable?

by baseballdork 2y ago
Nope. Legal and approved only. If it became available over the counter at the pharmacy (at a reasonable price), I’d take it.

Interesting! I assumed that it would be fairly popular in the gym setting, but I had no idea it was already. I don't take gear, but I'd take GLP-1s. It seems like a no-brainer.

Great question, but unless it’s really detrimental, it wouldn’t be a huge deal. You’re likely going to be losing muscle mass on a cut anyway, you’re just trying to minimize it.

Generally, short buff folks aren't having breakdowns about being overweight and unhealthy.

by baseballdork 2y ago
I suspect GLP-1s will find their way into the gym as well. I'm currently on a cut. It takes some pretty rigid discipline and some overhead for doing things like meal prep and whatnot. Ozempic is basically the perfect cut supplement. Wh

I’m having a real hard time understanding what this comment is saying. Are you asking what high side computers are used for besides reading classified information?

I can believe it. Dunno how reasonable it would be to risk having someone in an altered state of mind on the ISS. What do you do if someone has a bad trip or decides to make poor decisions?
