What would be the benefit of being able to identify the propaganda, practically speaking. I get being principales against it, but are there any big ballot measures I missed? I have no ability to impact the war, why does it matter if I wan

Right but 50% of people who had long COVID had experienced “worry, perceived stress, or loneliness” in the past ( not ti mention depression/anxiety) I’d expect that number to be much higher.

I think the problem is coming up with a definition of intelligence that is measurable across contexts. I’m worse at creating mental models when traveling in a country with language and cultures I don’t understand. Does that mean my IQ is

According to this article, rates of depression during COVID outbreak, were 27.5%. So, at least a decent chance this happens by chance? Also they mention worry, perceived stress and loneliness. Did anyone not perceive stress during the pan

I don’t know the way around this, but I do think it’s good that power is not centralized in one governmental structure, even if that structure is Democratic, and I also think it’s good that there are a diverse set of philosophies determinin

The argument I've seen against rent control is that it limits supply and ends up driving up prices. I don't have a moral problem with rent control, but I wonder what the negative externalities are in terms of affordability to fol

I think people enjoy this argument because it's counter intuitive, but I also think it's counter intuitive because it's wrong. If you build a playground and everyone avoids the teeter-totter, there's probably something

The question I want to know is how much of this is "bad" corruption (worse than you would find in a 350 million population relatively free democracy/republic) and how much of this is sausage making. Was there any reasonable

I don't really see what your point has to do with mine. OP seems mad that an article might talk about active violence vs potential violence. The article can't cover everything and to my original point we are still able to have t
