Yes. And people sought to address the specific causes of tubercular beef while leaving the rest untouched because they weren't cared about the exploitation and abuse of laborers as much as their own health.

I think you're misunderstanding what I meant by "low hanging fruit". It's easier for me to affect my Town, State, and US political action than it is to influence Chinese policy. I can vote for green policy candidates who

Can't speak for "everyone" but here's my 2 cents on what you're describing. As an American, my first thought it when it comes to most issues tends to be "what can we, America, do to make things better." Th

I mean the same thing happened to Orwell. He was a democratic socialist who literally went to war with the fascists in Spain but people think Animal Farm is meant to be a rebuke of communism generally (and not Stalinism specifically).

Or just let people do act as resellers of your product. Presumably Valve is doing this hyper-low prices because they have the ability to and it makes the customers happy. They might decide to thumb their noses at everyone and say "okay

Hello there. I work professionally for a gaming/toy company. I am not paid for any other services in any way. You're being downvoted because your aggressive tone is attacking anyone on this site and using nothing but logical falla

Photographers "like" cameras. The Government likes tracking citizens. Slight difference, but semantically different

Not typically, but it's possible that someone might be able to negotiate this with their bosses. Typically people opt out of company insurance because of one of the following reasons: It's cheaper for them to find services through

His point is that guns don't kill people, people don't kill people, people telling people to tell people that there's people killing people are who kill people. It is a very weak point to make.

Can you point to any instances in which having a gun prevented someone from being killed by the police? It seems like part of the problem is that there's an arms race. The cops need SWAT teams because citizens have Uzis, etc. Then the

Do you think people thought this was okay prior? Obviously not, but what do you think they were assuming the worst case scenario was for them? Prior to this whole case playing out, I would have assumed "going to jail" would be an

That's not quite how the math works. Assuming there was a size/mass minimum for fossilization, and that we expected that to be the only qualifier for fossil occurrence, we'd just need to expect X% of species to exhibit sexual

I can't imagine there's such substantial sexual diamorphism across all species to account for that. How much bigger/stronger would bones need to be for this to hold true? Also, what about the variance between species? Hypothe

No, of course not. That's my point. OP is throwing out a "let them eat cake" argument about how he's fine with this state of affairs. I'm pointing out that the libraries are buying these e-books in order to lend the

The book is being bought. The libraries aren't getting these books for free. If you, private citizen Hitton, want to buy this book the day it's released and then lend it out to every single person you know, you're able to do

Sounds like you could use a refresher on all the free and worthwhile services provided by modern libraries. Where I'm at in NJ, the local libraries offer books, e-books, cds, dvds, career services, access to legal assistance, community

Of course there won't be. Why would you create a minor league football program when you're competing against colleges that have: 1- Long term history with their fans 2- Better proximity to fanbases 3- No labor costs for their play

Depends on how you're measuring. Saban is making about 8mil (lazy math) and you think he's worth 70. Let's go crazy, and say he's actually even more valuable, and worth 80 million. So he's making about 1/10th w

It's hard to have smartdumb plays like that in poker in quite the same way. I guess it would be closer to AK suited in hand with a Q 10 suited and off suit Q and 3 people raising on each round. Then on the turn and river you get an off

While I agree with you that loot machines are worse because they're always available and hyper-immediate, we know that gambling addiction is a thing, and CCG cards fit the pattern. I mean to play a slot machine, people used to have to

I will stop using this specific game as an example. This particular dev might allow this, but many others don't which is a huge problem on the issue since these things are functioning as gambling for access to a service (the right to u

Like I said in my post, I think they're grayer than a lot of skinnerboxes, but that doesn't make them clean. My understanding is that the vast majority of loot boxes are the sole way of acquiring the in game objects they posses. I

Because it houses both "legal" and "illegal" immigrants. Can you explain why it's so important that the word be included even if it's detrimental to objective truth?

I believe OP was being sarcastic. We're all on team "FOH Nest" in this thread so far.

One major difference between Magic and most skinner box video games: I can sell my magic cards for real world money, and I can just buy the cards I need as singles. There's a lot of games that try to nudge closer to this with card &quo

I would argue that at least 110 people (as of this comment's posting) disagree with you. Yay democracy!

Values are about personal preference. "Killing each other is not super nice" isn't a value in any real way due to the dilution words you add. Take the following thoughts: Killing people is a bad thing. During wars, soldiers k
