You couldn't really live reasonably well and healthy though. For the vast majority of human history about 40% of people died before reaching adulthood.

Are you really going to argue that Greek plays/literature treat women well? I mean, I love the Odyssey but it has a part where they literally hang a bunch of women for having sex with the wrong men and then chop off a male servants gen

They really do make it much harder than it needs to be. I was in Colorado on vacation and accidentally ran a toll at night. Just got a bill a couple weeks later for the exact amount of the toll with no fine. No reason it can't be like

While I agree exercise isn't very effective to treat obesity, it is still healthy for you to exercise, even if it's not going to help you lose weight. There are a lot of people who are overweight who have healthier hearts and lung

I think exercise for weight loss/management isn't going to be a good idea for the vast majority of people. As you said, you get hungrier when you burn those calories and it's very easy to spend five minutes and eat all the ca

I saw a joke on Twitter, can't remember who said it. Is Netflix's new Black Mirror Choose Your Own Adventure a movie or a game? It's a movie, you can tell because everyone involved got paid for overtime.

But more than 10% of accidents. A quick Google search turns up 20% of accidents happening in parking lots. Now those are likely to be lower speed than highway, but still something to keep in mind.

We don't know the effects, but we can be pretty confident on the floor. Meaning we know the minimum amount of harm nicotine in vaping is definitely causing, but we aren't sure how much extra harm could be caused by the flavorings,

I disagree. In most of the US the air pollution is less likely to harm you than vaping would. Sugar is a different story but it's one where you can have a healthy relationship to it, whereas you can't with vaping.

Disagree. Bernie doesn't advocate socializing any industries. Even Medicare for All would leave hospitals and doctors as private employees. He isn't going out there saying we should have nationalized the Big Three car companies in

It is rising faster than any of those which is concerning. In terms of danger, it's hard to say since we don't know what the long term effects of vaping are going to be, and how many of these teens are going to consume other tobac

Not really, I mean Bernie Sanders is not a Socialist since he doesn't want to nationalize any industries which is really the sine qua non of socialism. He is a Social Democrat. Actual socialists usually identify as Leftists instead of

While I haven't read What Not I have read the other novel mentioned here, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin and I have to say 1984 pretty much completely takes the entire plot from it. Spoilers follow: Both books follow the journey of a single ma

There are communities that exist without private property, like communes and Monasteries and Kibbutz. I wouldn't really call them communist though and the hallmark of all of them is that they exist in a larger societal context, rather

If people here really knew whether or not that was a good idea we would be billionaire rock-star investors. Trying to time the market is a fools errand for most folks.

No, that is not what happened. Her claims were briefly investigated, there was only one other witness, Mike Judge, and he was not questioned. No one else remembers that specific party but they all agreed that it was the kind of thing get to

Just to be clear, you know he almost certainly did it right? Dr. Ford came forward before he was nominated. Also he has full time security guards now and gets welcomed with standing ovations, whereas Dr. Ford keeps having to move because of

Yeah, here in America I can't go with my family to a nice public stoning of an adulterous woman. I just have to settle for my wife being allowed to drive on her own and have meaningful rights.

It would lead to pretty much every man accused of rape with threatening to sue/press charges against their accuser and further stigmatize rape victims and lower the number who come forward.

Sorry, from my perspective it's important to have that rule to prevent abuse. My understanding is that BSA implemented it after several instances of sexual abuse by volunteers, not due to fear of false accusations.

I'm not familiar with the Oxford Union president. Jian Gomeshi was credibly accused, the fact that he was found not guilty does not mean his accuser was false. I don't know why you include Emma Sulkowicz, I know of no evidence at

Every organization I've volunteered with that works with minors, including BSA, has that rule. It's sadly necessary.

Hey, can you show me some of these well documented instances? The Duke Lacross case gets brought up a lot, but all those guys were exonerated and as far as I'm aware doing fine. Kavanaugh just got appointed to the Supreme Court and Loi
