Plenty of drugs do things that sound scarier to me--a layperson. SSRIs change the way you think and feel. Pain killers hijack your nervous system so you don't feel pain.

She should absolutely be called professor when she's acting in her role in academia. But an EdD is a professional degree like a JD or PharmD. Demanding we call her doctor out of her professional context is bizarre unless you want your

JD is considered to be the "terminal" degree for law. While its technically the "standard and lowest law degree" its also the highest. Professors at law schools mostly have JDs (some also have PhDs, but most don't)

Most state's attorney ethics boards to allow you to call yourself a Doctor. But in practice, you look like a fool doing so.

Nice tool. I thought kindle files were mobi? Any difference?

Yea that is surprisingly low, if accurate.

Even if they don't discriminate, what would ensure its not just used as a political tool even if an increase is overall harmful? Seems like voters have a lot of incentive to vote themselves increases.

Demographics impact this data, no? People in college, increased ability to retire, and an increase in the number of retire people (due to an aging population) all have an effect. What does the data look like from 1900-1948? I imagine WWII

Don't plenty of countries in the EU have higher poverty rates than the USA? Isn't Australia's essentially the same as the USAs? Is there really a huge difference or are you just subject to a lot of confirmation bias. Canada

There is no concussion among economists that "link between the minimum wage and unemployment isn't really a thing." A lot of research suggests the effect is pretty small when the increase in minimum wage is small compared to

The argument that an election is illegitimate because a tiny fraction of facebook ads were funded by Russia instead of wealthy US donors is just as absurd as claims that these elections were illiterate because voter ID rules were suspended

Clinton was saying the 2016 election wasn't legitimate as recently as October 2020 AND she suggested Biden should never concede no matter what (which suggested that 2020 would be illegitimate). And saying well election fraud and voter

I'll give an opposite impression. I thought the first season was sort of a paint by numbers Mad Men rip off focused on tech rather than adverting. S2 gets its own story that is very enjoyable.

It sounds like you are proving my point. You don't want leftist activists banned for challenging the status quo.

Whatever you call it, nobody would want lawyers to be fired or huffpo being de-platformed for saying Trump stole the election had Trump narrowly won instead of narrowly lost. The only difference is that the people in charge of big tech agre

And if anyone thinks the answer is clear, many of the same people saying we need to blacklist anyone claiming election fraud were saying Trump was trying to steal the election in October. If we can be ban false claims of election fraud, we

Exactly. 5 weeks ago I needed CBS All Access to watch an NFL game and I figured I'd watch ST Discovery and the Stand too. I had access in 3 clicks on Roku in the Amazon prime channel. I can cancel at anytime. My wife wanted to watch

Unless the Russians were total psychopaths, their first strike would probably be aimed mostly at our nuclear missiles and the military at large (i.e., a counterforce strike), and not on purposefully destroying our population (i.e., a counte

That doesn't really make sense in the context of movies and tv shows. The creators are thousands of people.

For some reason, Amazon defaults me to German subtitles, despite me being an American in America.

Nothing is really stopping you from paying for the content and pirating it to get the quality you want. But lets be honest, essentially all pirates just want the content for free.

by rhino369 6y ago
First, I dispute that piracy is really better. Amazon and netflix generally work easier than piracy. My, um friend, has radarr + usenet + plex, and its work pretty well 80%. But subtitles are often a problem. Unpacking/par checking s

Worst case, Uganda could just jam the satellites.

Revenge is probably reason enough. But even a full Russian strike probably wouldn't 100% destroy the United States (and a full Chinese strike probably wouldn't even kill half of us unless society totally collapsed afterwards).

And presumably the choice to fire back before our ICBMs are destroyed by incoming nuclear weapons would take into account the size of the confirmed launches by an enemy. If you get confirmation that Russia launched 1-10 ICBMs, well maybe yo

I'm not forcing people making $10/hr to work in a tight kitchen where social distancing is impossible. I'm supporting local restaurants!

Ordering in is probably just as bad unless you really go out of your way to order healthy.

No more than any social website. If anything, it’s more moderate than pseudo anonymous social sites like forums, chat rooms, blogs, etc. My crazy uncles rants on Facebook are tame compared to the ones he makes on FreeRepublic.com—the web1.0
