Because a lot of the burglars are black, which means doing anything about it will be seen as racist. SF no longer release tapes of crimes that happen on public transit for the same reason. https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2

I also find it amusing that in this scenario, we are supposed to assume that crime statistics provided by the police are 100% accurate. Aren't we usually meant to believe that the police are the bad guys who lie about everything?

Did you take them alone? Did you go outside at all? I think your environment really affects your experience. I always tell people to go outside as much as possible, ideally on a nice sunny day. Walk around in a park or the woods and I bet y

I have a similar experience. I first did shrooms in high school and enjoyed it immensely. But in the few weeks after the trip, I felt great . I was way less nervous talking to people, I felt more confident, and just generally better abou

I'd like to know this as well, and if anyone has any sources that cover it, please list them. I'm so tired of the western media lens.

I mean this is a forum on the internet, it's not a peer reviewed medical journal. People come here to talk about stuff. Sure, there are guidelines that encourage thoughtful, well written comments to foster an actual discussion, but the

Okay, I'll bite. Is there any basis in scientific reality? Where is the science that says the six foot rule is not necessary for humans eating and drinking in restaurants?

This is an odd reply - you're claiming someone is wrong by showing them that someone else on this website was also wrong. The commenter specifically mentioned the silly way we have to wear masks while being seated but can then take the

> The "existing body of literature" is dominated by sex-negative academics Off topic, but congratulations, you've just found an example of why the phrase "trust the experts/science" is not a good argument!

I disagree, I think the main problem is that people use the private company argument as a way to mask their emotion-based reasons for wanting someone deplatformed. My brain translates "it's a private company" into "we sh

I am aware my comment is childish and not really worthy of the standards of this website. But I don't mean to "get back" at sex workers, I mean to "get back" at hypocrites who all seem to universally love the privat

Fair enough, but if that's your stance, I hope you're honest and open about it. I am not claiming you personally have done this, but so many people immediately jump on the private company defense when someone they dislike is depla

I think a lot of this is largely due to the ever expanding definition of "sex work". I can't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet that the "sex work" the characters in this twitter thread are involved in is

It seems odd that a study meant to examine bias in media and how it affects viewers opinions would only do this switch one way. It also seems like maybe the participants are just somewhat gullible. CNN and FOX are both terrible and I turn t

I can't help but admit to some schadenfreude here. Where are all the claims of doordash being a private business that can do whatever it wants? Why isn't anyone advocating to build your own food delivery platform?

Agreed. It sucks to experience, but ultimately if you're that shallow then I'm not interested either. I just thought the whole thing was a meme, but it's pretty real.

Those cases are different and you know it. The athlete mentioned above is Lia Thomas. From wikipedia: > In the 2018–2019 season she was, when competing in the men's team, ranked 554 in the 200 freestyle, 65 in the 500 freestyle, and
