The way to help poor people is the put the least roadblocks in their way. Government policies that assume that they work only aggravate the issue for the people for whom it doesn't work (creating outcasts). EDIT: E.g. give everyone 500

Crazy to me religion and normal beliefs are not put in the same bucket. Why would a religious belief hold more weight than a normal belief?

Note all the "reasonable" and "great danger" in the decision. It's unclear (and to be determined) if covid fits that description

Reducing the number of available rental units this way would increase the amount of dwellings available to purchase (and reduce prices). Do you think rental is the only way one can have a dwelling?

You misread what I said. The person would have bought it instead of having to rent it from your friend

Just like not everyone can afford a rent. The point is to make things better not to fix homelessness.

Does your friend need a second property? If there was such a ban someone else could buy it that would have stayed in it/rented it anyway

>For example, I didn't have the money to buy after college so I rented. I think that's the main issue. One of the reasons housing is so expensive is because it's an avenue for investment/infinite growth. Maybe if you

Even if they have shitty commits, it barely matter if its hidden behind a merge commit. On the off chance that squashed commits wouldve been useful, I much rather have it than not. In fact I once did a PR moving around some files which is v

Couldn't you get pregnant, abort the fetus and harvest stem cells? (Or just farm fertilized eggs)

>might be able to put a useful label on something that they'd previously just considered a personal quirk. Is that useful though? I disagree with this need people have to categorize themselves. It seems just going on without labels

Do you think we need to do that to apply such a policy?

by totony 5y ago
Yes but we have a gdp per capita that is so much bigger. We could do way better.

This is what the west needs imo. China seems to be making big moves lately, even though I may disagree with some of their methods.

Hospital bed usage per cause would be a better one

by totony 5y ago
Hospital admission is not a good metric to go by, because they may be discharged/not occupy it for long. If you check death by age you see no one young died, suggesting the disease is more easy on them ajd they won't need to be 2

They live on both. There's a reason why cali/vancouver are so popular, it's because of their easy weather. Plus, the home you're buying is on land that's next to a bunch of utilities which are there because generati

Buying more real estate than you use is hoarding. There is only so much liveable land. Out of all the things capitalism can apply to this is morally the worst.

I don't believe they should scan user data. User privacy is of utmost important (even more than slim risk of doing whatever). Do you want companies to have free reign scanning anything you use for "unauthorized" activities?

Being a journalist does not absolve you from wrongdoings. Wasn't the journalist who did the hit piece related to some religious anti-porn org?

This is because grsec is proprietary and the state of SELinux policies is very poor. Redhat puts a lot of effort into maintaining their SELinux policy and is the only one that doesn't have too much bugs. PaX should be included, but afa

Likehood of mutation might be, but spread of variants is a more complicated function. Vaccination for sure might affect how likely one variant predominates against others. Considering cross-immunization between variants with natural immunit

All my adult life I've seen the government make decisions I find not only suboptimal, but detrimental. More and more it feels like individuals have less say in what goes on, and that seems to show in vote participation and in how the g
