I’d hesitate to draw a causal link without looking at the data and disproving other hypotheses, particularly when it comes to media narratives in 2021. For example, do elderly Asians tend to carry lots of cash, making them attractive target

It probably means changing laws to allow users to hold internet platforms liable for harms caused. All parties can then have their day(s) in court. That seems fair to me.

It’s a restatement of the first and most widely-known principle of the Unitarian Universalist Association [1]. I think that is why it resonates with many people. Those people are then caught off-guard when they use the phrase and find thems

My mother could not be any less exposed to the “discourse,” and yet she has spoken variants of the first two phrases to me. I believe they may just be common sentiments in the Deep South.

I just think some of the concerns about Trump veer towards the aesthetic. Some people react to him like they react to a bad painting. The rest is just rationalization. For your specific example, polishing graphs and communicating visually s

If it sounds cartoonish, that’s because it is. The manifestation I’ve seen around me is that groups of 3–4 will pretend to befriend unsuspecting victims, inviting them to events and parties etc., then yell at/berate/abuse them at

I see. I’m on a college campus in the United States right now, and I can confirm what he describes exists here exactly as he describes it. There may be a generational or geographical gap between our experiences.

One is an island, and the other might as well be an island? I applaud their successes, but a year in, empirically what works in Hawaiʻi and Guam isn’t going to work in Chicago.

I believe the crimes in question are muggings and an armed robbery in which a gun was pointed at an employee. It is a stretch to call those strictly property crimes.

Not the OP, but I believe the freedom of speech is a concept that exists outside of the Constitution. The OP may be referring to a principle or ideal instead of a constitutional construction.

As somebody who pays taxes, pays insurance premiums, and owns dollars, I contend that unnecessary medical services are not free.

Why would ordering more doses help?

It likely helps to be a bit remote. That’s why Australia is free of other viruses like rabies.

I’m not sure rapid procurement is as simple as government money in, doses out. Incentives must align.

We could have a futures market for doses. That way the government doesn’t have to pick winners in the drug development arena, something it historically isn’t very good at.

I think it’s fine to speculate, even wildly, while also seeking the truth. Especially if the truth isn’t out. It sounds like you are describing rejecting the truth, which isn’t what I think most people are doing here. Of course facts are

That’s absolutely not what they told me in the email they sent me. Amazon doesn’t have my money in a sweep account. One star.

They’ve had a number of technical issues over the past year, and I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt. This is the last straw for me personally.

I’m not keeping my money with a financial institution that lies to me. End of story. Transfer initiated on my cash, and I’ll deal with moving stocks in the morning.

It’s an app for trading stocks. Suddenly I can’t use it to trade stocks. One star is warranted.

An enormous amount of propaganda has been pumped directly at us for years. It’s not really their fault.

And one might think liberals, putting liberty above order, would be aghast at silencing opponents to maintain order, and yet here we are. Our political theater has gotten pretty weird. The whole thing is looking more and more like unprincip

I think what you’re missing is that academic research focuses on novelty, not basic facts. Ultimately not trusting novelty can save time. Basic facts can be found in reference material. So it’s more like suppose you want to paint your house

Aren’t those institutions sort of circumventable by lying? Can’t I just say “Barrin92 is a bastard, so I’ve banned them from speaking. Look no closer lest I ban you, too.” Feels like we might be better off in the long run by agreeing on gro

The FDA approves ~40 drugs a year. If you want 40 new drugs a year, it unfortunately will cost somebody something to coordinate the large number of professionals over many years required by a modern development effort. Few drugs have been d
