How can a document be "real" if it's full of "not necessarily factual" claims?

According to the new york times: > Was the dossier a reliable source of information? > No. It has become clear over time that its sourcing was thin and sketchy. https://archive.ph/2fHH5 This was on page 1 of google fo

This is what I tell my younger cousins about college. Getting an education is obviously the goal, but networking with potential employers so that you have a job/internship lined up after graduation is what's most important.

It also means that you are the one taking an issue outside the US and injecting US politics into it. Don’t do that!

The only person who would gain anything by saying that would be a white man, who would just be told that his opinion isn’t important because he’s a white man.

I have to ask - by "diverse", do you mean "different people from different backgrounds who have different viewpoints"? Or do you mean "people who all think the same way but have different skin colors"?

I don't think it's idiotic at all to think that employees of an apple store would be more qualified to fix an iphone than someone in a phone repair kiosk at a mall.

If democrats wanted that, they would write a bill to do so. Not everything has to be bundled up in a multi trillion dollar bill that involves a ton of other unrelated things. The reason they haven't done that is because they don't

I'll believe it when I see it. I vividly remember getting "credits" for $1 from fafsa, so if it's anything like that, it will be meaningless.

But your argument boils down to "it's what I want, and even though there are people who don't want it, who cares?" Here is your argument, but adjusted to argue for my position. I didn't have to change much! "Us

I don't really understand how your anecdote applies to what I said. What you described is nepotism, I don't really think that the guy was not promoted because he was black, and without any evidence of that being the case, I thin

Okay, fine , if I take away that last bit, would you acknowledge my main point? If this is all just a natural evolution of language, why does it all come from american academic institutions and corporations?

Indeed, but is that really what's happening here? Is it really collective if all these changes are being pushed by american fortune 500 companies, and most people who abide by them are doing so out of fear?

This is a great example of how a lot of these methods of "avoiding upsetting people" seem to really be ways for people to make themselves feel good for doing something that they think is nice, like how almost every latino has no p

This is a genuine question - should anyone take cryptocurrency seriously? To me, the only purpose of it is to make money. It's the stock market, but with less rules, and it's 24/7. People will say that crypto is important

Sure, but even now with the greater visibility we have, these claims are never taken seriously en masse. One group would call you a traitor, and another would call you a conspiracy theorist. I do not have a solution, but I'd just like

I guess the question then becomes " would that name have shown up if op hadn't said it?" And frankly it seems pretty naive to say that it's only an issue because op noticed it this time.

Agreed. I think we need to put as much blame on the carriers providing these capabilities to anyone , let alone the police. That the police are publicly funded and are buying this data with my money is also a huge issue to me, but if I had

This is a really inconsiderate comment. You do not know this guy at all, yet you assume that he's not a good employee because of a mental issue he has. Do you think he chooses to have panic attacks? Can you see how him asking to not ha

Yeah I noticed this too, and I think they're actually referring to his panic attack? I guess I can't say for sure but if that's the case I hope he somehow sues them again and they go bankrupt.

You may actually be able to get more mcdonald's with the same amount of money now. Their app has all these deals like "free cheeseburger on orders of $1 or more", meaning if you spend $1, you get a free cheeseburger. I gues
