Why should everyone have perfectly equal access to non-necessities? What, specifically, is “democratic” about making sure poor people can also get reservations at restaurants? Should everything in limited quantity be given away in a pure lo

Do you have any evidence that supports this? Twenty years of running anecdotally strongly suggests otherwise, but I’m open to an actual study.

Most of the child care I’ve seen is single provider, restricted to a few kids. Most parents seem to want pre-pre-school. One of those costs a lot, the other costs less, but requires knowing someone who knows someone. I also don’t think many

This is nonsense. Daycare is expensive because no one provides it, and because no one wants Joey Bag of Donuts with no insurance or credentials watching their kids, whom they presumably love (although many people do just that because it’s t

This is a weird argument. I don’t agree with parent, but the reasons are vastly more nuanced than “your ancestors were religious so you’re wrong.” And that’s ignoring the even weirder swipe suggesting parent move to a different country.

This is brilliant. Scheme broke me back in school- I could not get my head around it. I’ve thought about trying it again now that I’ve got a better understanding of what my professors were trying to actually teach with it. And here you are

I’ve posted a clear article outlining places the “Twitter files” were more noise than signal. Just saying “no” and then pointing at the entirety of the documents is an absurd response. And that’s without account for the unhinged rant that h

I will say, in defense, that the foam and some of the carbon plates, do substantially help with recovery. I use an older pair of VaporFlys for that reason - my feet and calves feel much better the day after a big race. That said, the effect

Yup. People badly overestimate the shoe effect, especially.

1 rings super true to me - the most counter-intuitive thing to me in distance running was to take more steps to go faster. 180-190rpm is usually where I’m at for 2:55ish marathon times, whereas when I started, I thought I needed to be at li

I’m not sure where my comment suggested that he fabricated documents , and I think the linked story stands for itself. The Twitter files were a sham that certain people have badly misinterpreted, intentionally. Sort of like Barr’s memo.

I’m curious what you think the ED outcome difference is between the best hospital in your city, and any random suburban one, for generally common emergencies. Not trying to snark, honest question.

Taibbi’s reporting was garbage [1]. That two folks from Facebook said “uh, yeah, us, too!” says nothing about the original claims, unless you’re predisposed to believing all of them regardless of the evidence that was presented. But calli

On the other hand, if John submits his post, then hires an army of bots to re…X it (?), he’s now published false information, which appear to have the veracity of truth. Using bots to advance it is just the electronic version of using a bul

Would second this. I also just dropped the C*O title from my resume in certain cases where I thought it would look worse. The outreach I’ve gotten for similar positions was always outside-in.

Isn’t this just shifting the issue? I like your reasoning w/r/t threats of violence. But let’s say we’re talking about, I dunno, polio vaccinations. John posts that the vaccine is dangerous and will turn your children into frogs.

Kids want to watch the same movie 937473829 times. In a row. That’s why GP said they were subscribed. I know several new-ish parents in the same boat with Disney+, specifically.

I’m unaware of anything on Bandcamp that is remotely as useful to me as the auto-built playlists and artist/song radio tools in Spotify. That there’s “a lot” of music on either platform is meaningless if the tools to find things I’d li

Accusing someone you disagree with of being “so emotional” is some bottom-of-the-barrel kindergarten crap.
