There's a meaningful point at which I think humans are going to have a reckoning. I think the cause of that reckoning will probably be Climate Change, but maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, we don't currently see ourselves as the

Yeah, I knew there'd be someone on here still terrified immigrants are trying to replace them. IDK what TF that even means, but I can promise you no one thinks that if they just remove all of the existing Canadians that they're so

Somewhere else in this comment section there's a discussion about screenings causing more trouble than benefit because people don't know how or what to do about them. Emerging research is not something actually concretely actionab

Uhh, you haven't answered this person's question in the rest of the discussion. What is the value of this test over assuming that I have this? What treatment exists that I can get if I know my blood contains PFAs?

Yeah, the problem is definitely that the recycling numbers on plastics aren't detailed enough... /s Bonus points if you can tell me what each recycling number on plastic means without looking it up (it's the internet, so I ha

I think, in your response of sarcasm you are brushing over a lot of valid points the OC is making. They're not saying that we should get rid of natural-born folks. They're just saying that often times the people who most want thei

I don't think the previous commenter was saying "don't test people" but there are a few comments on here about how sketchy this website/company looks. So instead, the question is, if I pay $400 what meaning/val

Weird, because in most markets it's the exact opposite. Also, you can see how the free market handles utilities in Texas. That's worked swimmingly well the last couple of years. But in reality, public utilities should be owned b

Because the kinds of people who want you to distinguish between the two are the kinds of people who lie in the middle of the venn diagram. Which, to be honest, if it's not a single overlapping circle, it's pretty darn close... Nob

Yeah, definitely real "separate but equal" types...

I think that this narrative (about kids dying from climate change) has likely come out of the responses that attempt to downplay climate change, but also, for what appears to be a hot take on this issue here... I don't think it's

It's not that Godwin's law meant you lost the argument. Godwin's law was just an observation, that a common evil, is an easy thing to reduce someone who disagrees with you to. So you have to avoid doing that, if you want to b

I don't think carbon sequestration is even in the race at this point... If our goal isn't zero emissions, our goal is missing the mark at this point.

Right, the question was, "what made you think I was angry?"

You said it first, they were responding. That's not an answer to the question.

You're mistaking "there are real people on the internet" for "all people on the internet are great people." I think teens are much better at sifting through the BS than you're giving them credit for. Also I&#x2

Because there aren't real people on the internet who you can learn social skills from? With any of this, you get out what you put in. Social skills can absolutely be learned at school, and often are. Try again. > I learned how to ma

The market is a magical system that both creates value for necessary jobs, and also can't pay people wages for those same valuable jobs, so we need to put children to work.

There's nothing that says you can't develop this without depending on child labor. I work hard, and my first job was when I was 18. Nothing about a work ethic is special to working hard in a job. Some of the most impressive people

First off, other people have mentioned average. But I'll just throw in that this sentiment is dangerous. Squabbling over the difference between 40k and 260k, is missing the mark, and exactly what CEOs want you to think about because ul

Careful you don't hurt yourself getting down from that high horse of yours. I guess alternatively you could just keep living up there, but it sounds lonely. OOC, what in the initial message makes you think I was angry when I'm tel

I mean, I'm not taking advice on this from you. You have done nothing to convince me you're worth listening to.

I mean, you're getting way to vague here. "Any group that have ever killed anyone? or done any bad thing?" The nature of the law is being a lot less cut-and-dry than this. But I think hate groups are a pretty readily availabl

Yeah... I mean, ultimately it's a private company and it can censor its platform how it wants. This means that it is welcome to include more hate speech, which clearly it is doing. Not arguing that. But I do think it had a better set

I think what you're describing for "something a racist would very likely say" is called a "Dogwhistle" and the reason it is hateful is that it's absolutely trying to set the bar for what they can get away with

You seem to think you're an emotionless robot. And I think I have found that the people who think they are emotionless rational robots, are the must subject to the whims of emotions. Something to consider working on...

No, I think that's pretty reasonable framework for any relationship. TBC, I'm still friends with the person, probably because I never respected them for their commitment to others in a romantic relationship in the first place. I a

lol, wasn't angry to begin with, but I definitely was angered by the dismissive response. Like if I'm giving them the time of day, it would be nice of them to at least pretend like they're gonna give it to me...

Damn, people can't even take a joke about murdering other humans anymore. /s This shit's awful and unsubtle OP is living in a bubble if they think this is actually a slippery slope.
