Sorry, but no, I will comment my views as I please, whether they support the status quo or not. As this is a public forum, you'd do well to find a way to cope with differing views. I was poor. I improved my situation. I didn't spe

This comment is absurd to someone living in a small metro area. There should not ever be human shit encountered on a sidewalk. Not once every couple months; never. You've been living in absurdity for so long that you've lost sight

I'm not surprised about this, given anecdata I've heard. I only hope they will vote for different policies than the ones which caused them to leave (they won't)

Covid vaccines have already had multiple recalls due to unforeseen heart complications. These complications were, of course, "impossible" before they began occurring. You cannot, by definition, foresee what unforeseen complication

It's not an issue of data. Wealth inequality by itself doesn't do anything bad, if the bottom can still afford what they need. It's a matter of having a realistic mindset and sense of self determination. A poor person today i

The working class has never had it better than they have it right now, except for a brief period of a few years in the mid 20th century. You wouldn't know it though, from all the complaining. Sure, society "should" keep impro

"We" haven't gone anywhere. If you have to work now, you would have had to work just as much in the Renaissance. Those ideals were by and for independently wealthy aristocrats. The working class has always and will always wor

The past 100 years of vaccination were not MRNA vaccines, and while their safety profile may be similar or the same, that cannot yet be known.

Genetically modifying a food via DNA manipulation is not the same as selective breeding, and should not be conflated. "But it's the same outcome!!!" most people who say this would not be so flippant about genetically modifyin

It's unfalsifiable. "We don't know of any way this could happen, thus it will not happen" is not a claim that can be rebutted until it is proven wrong. "We don't have any reason to believe thalidomide is unsafe

I've been living this way consciously for years. It's not shocking that the sun, which we evolved alongside for millions of years, is probably good to see once in a while. It's not shocking that putting chemical creams on you

I'm still not convinced that the symptoms described in the article can be considered a disorder, any more than 'not exercising' can be a disorder. He's choosing to do certain things and not do other things. The consequen

Because most people are still viscerally repulsed by such shameless promiscuity, even if they rationalize it to themselves otherwise. In my opinion, the instinctual reaction is correct here. It is not normal or cool to be a prostitute.

Yeah, I guess. I try to avoid that as much as I can, such that my rent is currently around 10% of net pay, but I constantly feel an urge to upgrade things (and do, eventually). But it certainly is retire early money if you can fight that ur

Or it could be the things in the hundreds of papers from before 2005, when normalizing obesity was not politically expedient. All you have to do is live in any east Asian society for a period of time to understand that portion control and

The WHO and many other doctors have decided that widespread personal failings are beyond their purview to fix, and so redefined the definition. People simply refuse to take personal responsibility, and in the face of this the doctors are tr

People like to come up with all kinds of 'tricks' to lose weight without feeling hungry. To me it sounds like trying to gain muscle in the gym without feeling fatigued or sore. Just be hungry and deal with that feeling. It's

I got 138 which is apparently 99.5 percentile. I ran out of time on #32. This is about right based on an IRL test I took before where I scored 99.7 percentile. Psychologically, it's hard to remain humble when you always score 99+ on ev

I almost wrote "having a diverse team", but that's incorrect. I have no real problem with anyone having a diverse team. I specifically take issue with seeking one, actively, like you elaborated on. The problem I have with b
