People are not complaining that they are not paid for the period they are working. They are complaining that participating in the strike has revoked their tuition remission for the entire semester. Idiot leader. This will play out incredibl

It is hyperbole for sure, but there are plenty of real world cases where I would find the cost benefit not worth it. Personally I would find the cost benefit not worth it for any situation that has me lying feebly on opioids until I die. Bu

People “get their share” by living in a society that is held together by those taxes imo. There are surely many edge cases, but in countries like Canada/US/UK I think people generally get their due. Regardless, setting up a mini h

I think it’s also intentionally misleading though. It’s not dying at home. It’s riding out the rest of your days under detailed medical supervision which presumably intervenes and prevents you from dying.

I can be simultaneously angry that our medical system sucks and still believe that setting up a mini hospital in dying elderly people’s homes is a colossal misuse of government funds.

Ten years is a lot of years. You specifically called out a single decade of films. If someone is twenty, a film in 1980 is more than double their whole lifetime away. Wanting to chat with the youth about things before their time as the SHAR

Ehh but this is the 5e players handbook we’re talking about. Google 5e handbook pdf and you’ll get results, for free, easily found even if you’re not pirate savvy.

Ok but… this is so obviously a generational thing. You know who does know the YouTuber? His peers. He does not watch cheesy 80s films and you don’t watch 40s theater. People absolutely don’t need mainstream media. Mainstream media hits the

But come on. Diversity is not actually bad. People being diverse even if they think it’s bad is not bad. And memes are not a meaningful driver of diversity.

It’s a strong rebuttal because this is not a random sample. It tells you nothing. These are not credible interpretations of data.

There’s no need to get mathy tbh. Distributions are not real, and the ones we create only describe parts of what actually happens. This is obvious and always has been. How much water does your faucet leak per day? That might be a good case

The historic small society solution was to shun people who were problematic. Plenty of people are civil. Reminding someone that they left their coffee on their car should not make you feel anything special.
