Do you just look for headlines that confirm what you want to be true? "The findings are consistent with previous research. Health experts have long said a mask provides only limited protection for the person wearing it, but can dramati

What are you even saying? Are you saying that YouTube should be the arbiter of whether or not a video is a fair criticism of WHO guidelines? Or are you saying that YouTube should allow complete bullshit, lies, and misinformation mixed in wi

Maybe post a source that isn't a far far far right conspiracy website. Pro-tip: If a website posts an article that starts with `I am not a “flat earther", but` then tries to get you to buy gold and silver from them, you might not

Why would I need to worry about keeping my towels "dryer"? Are you showering twice a day or something?

Beyond the video issue, I wonder if a bunch was already blown up during the test spins before the main flight.

I'm not sure how that's different than someone sending a direct message to someone in a chat. Except now you'd definitely have no idea if someone was discussing something important and you were missing it.

I spend ~35% of my weekly waking hours with my coworkers. Despite my objection, I completely understand people who want WFH/remote. But I absolutely don't understand people with your sentiment.

Sure, we have all that. And maybe I'm just wired differently. I haven't made any real connections or friendships with my virtual coworkers over the past year. In the past when I joined a new IRL team, I'd have some budding fr

Are any of the things in your garage 10-20x the average cost of that thing? That fridge is like the Lamborghini of fridges. I'm not saying buying something that is 12.5% of your take home income is unreasonable. After all, I own a car.

If she only made the 250k, she'd be spending like 12.5% of her yearly take home pay on a fridge. That seems like a little much. ($250k is like $160k take home with her home town taxes. 20/160 = 0.125)

At this stage, getting as many people to near 100% death avoidance and with some immunity is the goal. We're not at a stage yet when we can play favorites. It'll be a long time before we have the supply to prefer one over the othe

Overly commercialized is a strange way to put it. It's certainly the least commercialized of all the major golf tournaments. Daily tickets are the cheapest at $115. Food is incredibly inexpensive. And you can watch at home for free, wi

Alright well idk about Amazon. I've worked for a few FAANG but not Amazon. But Google, the topic of the article, is definitely a company where you can do a moderate amount of work for large amounts of money.

It's strange to me that people love to shit on FAANG life so often. Every perk is scrutinized, as if serving dinner in the office means I MUST stay for dinner (I almost never do), or having a doctor or laundry service on campus is some

You are all getting way too caught up in terms. It doesn't matter. A company firing an employee for getting arrested is a very close situation to Twitch "firing" a streamer for getting arrested.
