Exactly. It's pollution that we directly benefit from, it's not fair to think our countries are better at the protecting the environment when everything we buy is made there instead of having the dirty factories/industries in

You could try in person selling like on kijiji, I've sold a fair bit of stuff on there with no problem. I just meet in a public place (a nearby storefront) for safety.

Watching movies makes people want to be like what they see, why isn't it true for video games? Because it is. Obviously not everyone is going to become violent just because they play realistic violent games but it certainly inspires a

I don't think it's particularly disrespectful, isn't all that's needed a change of perspective? What makes it disrespectful, precisely? The common method of embalming in North America seems more disrespectful - pumping a

If they cared about women they would find lots of crime. Particularly on trains, so many women get groped and harassed. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/06/22/national/media-...

This isn't math where one counter-example totally disproves a theorem. People are just 'far more likely' (as per the article's words) to have these traits and perform well under pressure for the best outcome.

Seems a bit ironic to say that on a site of a company that helps fund a lot of tech start-ups. Start-ups whose end goal seems to be getting ridiculously rich and doing an IPO.

£20 for some people is a lot though. That is definitely not something that 'anyone' could just pay when they wanted. You'd be hurting the most vulnerable people.

It's possible to easily get a sim card and make calls - you just need to get a pay as you go one. I have a tablet with apps, and then my phone is a 'dumb phone' which I bought at a 7-11. I didn't have to sign anything, I

In a way, all drug usage is like performing experiments on people - some of them work better on certain people than others and some of them give terrible side-effects to some and not others. This isn't just true for anti-depressants. I
