You're correct. I'm sure they have reasons that can be speculated about (probably money ), including that they don't want to run controversial ads though I don't know if they have imposed the same criteria to different t

by fritztastic 4y ago
I disagree. I don't think ads are the same as individual people being able to express themselves, and having one conpany reject political ads isn't preventing the politicians from expressing themselves altogether. Hulu also has di

It can be incredibly draining. I think it's important to also have boundaries and know how to "pick your battles". Some people are unwilling or unable to open themselves up by being sincere, having a genuine discussion can le

I think, from anecdotal personal experience, that a lot of people harbor deep seated emotions of anger, fear, and hostility. This makes it really difficult to communicate with them, as defensiveness and distrust are often a part of their re

I don't see the big issue with this. Hulu isn't under any obligation to accept any content. As much as I may agree/disagree with the topics of the campaign ads, I really don't think these (probably) polemic video snippet

Maybe revoke the incentives for those who currently already own multiple properties. No sense in putting an additional financial barrier to people attempting to purchase a home to live in. Investors will be slightly affected by this but it

I agree, decentralization of food production is critical to sustainable and reliable food production. Some places even have community compost centers where people bring their scraps and can get compost for their gardens. A shift in growing

According to Western European culture, sure. Apparently people started thinking of it as an apple because of a choice in translation. Realistically, scholars believe the forbidden fruit referred to is a pomegranate- because geographically i

Someone's feeling of safety/nervousness has more to do with a variety of different variables that are unique to them, the place in question, and the situation they're in. Personally, I'd rather be alone on foot in NYC th

I went to NYC many many times when I lived in New England, my cousin went to school there and took the train down multiple times a week for years, her mother worked and lived there for decades, my father went there every week for work for m

NYC gets dozens of millions of visitors annually, in addition to people commuting in daily and people transiting through the city. So, while the number of crimes is high, the number of people actually in the city at any given time is multip

I sometimes refer to Every Noise at Once when I'm looking for the right music as background when I want to focus. https://everynoise.com/ For me the music has to hit a balance between being engaiging enough but not too

That was the first thing on my mind, also. I found that book during a really difficult time in my life and it really helped me find an optimist hopeful perspective when everything seemed hopeless- it inspired me deeply.

There is a book about how people come together during times of disaster, called A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit. One of the distinct things I got from it is how the media often focuses on the gruesome details rather than how peop

Simply put, it's a trust issue. I think in many places people establish a relationship with their primary doctor, where the Dr knows them and their medical history in detail. Growing up, my family doctor had treated my family for gener

by fritztastic 4y ago
It's not that doctors resent people improving their health, it's that people are wary of their healthcare services existing in a for-profit system- these types of scams play to the paranoia and fear that people associate with medi

I thought it was just annoying that they're often on the top results of searches and thought of them as just digital clutter. But for people to post outright dangerous and deadly instructions is negligent at best and I would say more a

I think for many of them they direct themselves to the subject passionately because it is easy to advicate for an unborn person. The unborn don't have flaws that make their lives unworthy of advocacy- unlike the unhoused, migrants, fel

I think most important is considering the 1A. I don't think it's likely to persuade people on this topic, change their minds about what they believe in regards to the subject. But surely we can agree the 1A should be respected? No

Seems like a rather strange thing to believe, given that they're essentially worshipping a being that would send an unborn person (in their belief) to suffer for eternity for the transgression of not being able to prove their worthines

We read this in 8th grade, and I remember connecting to it very deeply. I think I related to it because when I was very young I was mostly oblivious to the people around me, I lived in my own imagination a lot of the time- probably to escap

I could see something like this being a nightmare for non-native speakers. English is my second language, but I speak it fluently so this is somewhat coherent. However, if I encountered something like this in other languages I understand bu

I was about to write something similar, but your comment did so much more eloquently than anything I'd be capable of producing. My ultimate viewpoint is that criminalization makes criminals and a lot of people want sex workers and drug

Temperature changes are only a small part of climate change. The majority of the concern has to do with ocean temperatures, sea levels, melting of permafrost, etc. how these cause changes in climate patterns, chemical changes to the oceans

I've seen a lot of discussions that tend to go with 25 as the age of maturity, based on studies of brain development. It seems to me that the ages for things (weapons, voting, marriage, joining the military, drugs [alcohol, cigarettes,

When I was in high school I went out to catch the bus around 0630, and if I didn't have some caffeine before starting the day being able to focus was nearly impossible. I could function with less sleep then, but even so mornings have a

The US sends millions of tons of trash to China, India, and other places. Perhaps it would be better for places to implement local sorting (glass, plastic, paper, etc.) and composting- as many other nations do as opposed to disposing of all
