Okay, so safety wise let's say that's figured out. People and planners also like to take into account flow of traffic, and throughput wants to be maximized, you may then conclude that there are safe circumstances where rolling sto

This should initiate a conversation into following the spirit of laws vs. authoritarian rigidity of law without nuance. In high school there was only a handful of things I learned that were actually useful, outside of social experiences. On

Are you telling me you watched that video and that you're claiming the mother is lying?

Edit to add: I found out what happens when you present a video testimonial strongly calling into question vaccine clinical trials - it gets downvoted. So what happens when you present a video testimonial like this - https://www.y

So turn that off or don't use that browser? Where's your personal responsibility here?

And in addition to not being hacking, it's called taking responsibility - probably along with getting out of a coddled, learned helplessness state.

I've thought for awhile the solution to a better funnel for mental health is to allow multiple organizations to be the ones answering the phone, and implementing their own protocol - process for hiring or accepting volunteers, the trai

Your tweet reference was him trolling. And he obviously does understand his reach, you saying that isn't a proof point.

What are we going to do about our captured systems? Are most even aware of all of the systems are captured and how, and what the solutions may be? Is Western society at an inflection point or is it going to continue to worsen? This comment

So quality of mental health gets written off as unimportant - a 51% increase in attempts doesn't matter, only if they were successful would you care? Is that what you're suggesting?

You can't imagine any circumstance where it's okay?

Since you don't seem to like to read much, here's a specific statistic that shows how the statistic you presented is grossly misrepresenting the situation by masking reality: "CDC saw 51% increase in suicide attempts by adole

Oh wow, look at that, how surprising that you're being sarcastic and go to an all-or-nothing response that lacks nuance and critical thinking. "All-or-nothing thinking is one of many negative thought processes, known as cognitive

I'm not so certain that'd be legal. The idea maybe would have a footing if wanting to prevent those who are actually infectious, e.g. requiring proof of a negative COVID test, and because these vaccines don't prevent infectio

Our parliament was closed for most of the pandemic, so 1) opposition wasn't possible, and 2) our Charter of Rights is being violated - due process isn't being followed. Jordan Peterson just released an interview with a now retired

What about the integrity of clinical trials - that's a multifactorial societal problem too, right? E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2GKPYzL_JQ I'd greatly appreciate or urge people watch the full ~10 minute t

"... has killed more than 865,000 Americans, ..." Can we start holding people and publications to differentiating for past variant vs. Omicron, etc? It deserves and necessitates such nuance.

by loceng 5y ago
It's interesting that you're minimizing the gross lack of integrity as simply corner cutting - there isn't a single valid reason for that. Anything counter-mainstream narrative is suppressed, so that is part of the problem to
