Again I ask: who are you talking about? Just because someone supports a candidate does not mean that they support all of what that candidate believes. Frequently, they even oppose those stances, and actively work to change them. Not everyo

Do you see the world so narrowly? Which "they" is it you speak of? The voices that have protested these programs are many and loud. The separate existence of partisans does not change that.

You know, I think the danger in partisan labels is that we are labeling ourselves. When that happens, we shut down big pieces of our brains and morality. But that's ok, because those other people did it in days gone by. Such hypocrites

Those institutional barriers are less effective in the face of those who do not respect them, and/or feel that disregarding them serves greater ideological goals. Couple this with both of the other branches of government being in the h

People -- many, many people --- have been concerned about this for a very long time. The concerns are more urgent now, but they are far from new. But even if what you say were true, it invalidates nothing.

Quite frankly, I don't believe you. I work in a very liberal area, in a very progressive company, have had encountered nothing like what you describe, whether at my present employer or any previous one.

And is the fundamental belief of libertarians: that governments can do nothing right, either morally or pragmatically.

Education, while not perfect, tends to lessen our propensity for succumbing to emotional appeals, instill a sense of confidence in our area of study, while simultaneously encouraging humility outside of those areas. Contrary examples abound

Can you explain this a bit, please? What are PEX lines?

This isn't "made up." It's a fact. Burning your head in the sand only dooms you and yours.

tl;dr: There is no evidence that pornography has ill effects, and a modicum of evidence that it can be positive. The (sometimes) conventional wisdom about porn -- objectification of women, its addictive nature, destructiveness in relationsh

This is the exact reason why I switched from CVS to Walgreens. The chip readers CVS uses are cumbersome and slow, taking 30-45s to complete the transaction. Walgreens, on the other hand, takes less than 10s when I use Apple Pay.

GP understands this, I think. The assumption is that BI will replace food stamps and/or other social welfare programs. This being the case, the question is: what if the recipient carelessly spends their BI, and does not have enough mon

Had the same thing happen to me after a date. We met on a dating site, agreed to meet for drinks. I never even knew her last name. The date didn't go well, so we ended it early. Afterwards, she showed up on my recommended friends list,

I worked for UPS before going to college. It was a strong union shop, and I have decidedly different memories of it. When I slipped on a set of stairs and hurt my head, my manager immediately rushed me to the doctor and gave me the day off.

It's not you specifically, it's that this comment specifically is almost 100% likely to show up. It's boring, and at this point doesn't add anything to the discussion.

This is almost a perfect metaphor for the failings of capitalism, or at they very least the notion that the singular pursuit of selfish greed can lead to ideal outcomes. The selfish need for individual drivers to go as fast as they can lead

As an American, where most of our politicians eagerly jostle for the title of Stupidest Human, the fact that the PM was trying to appear smart raises him up several notches. He considers intelligence to be something worthy. That's re

> It is in no companies fiscal interest to pay their employees more. I'm actually not sure this is true. From a short term perspective, perhaps. But longer term it is more beneficial for everyone if there is more money to be spent.
