In other words, a subjective opinion is being asked that anyone can disagree with and similar to "cancel culture", we're just going to pretend this does not exist.

Niels Ryberg Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize..."in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation, whereby he has opened a new avenue for medical science."

If you learned tomorrow that the mortality rate was less than 0.5%, what would your reaction be?

So where do we complain? This posting is essentially an advert.

You can't get much weaker and softer than this right here. I'm just trying to imagine the PTSD you must experience when faced with billboards on the highway or when you attend a sporting/musical event and see BoA plastered around the venue.

Also, it's not "unsolicited" when you made the choice to turn on the radio and turn up the volume. If you don't like the ads, turn the radio off.

I am happy to be sold things, on my own terms.

I'm pretty sure everyone is happy with everything, when they define their own terms.

ESRB is not a legal regulation and has zero authority. It is merely a privately held company that holds the copyrights to their system of rating video games.

Fortunately, "creating revenue" is not a factor in determining if someone is an employee or independent.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you and your friends from starting such a company.

I won't be holding my breath as you start on your new venture.

This arrangement tends to favor the rich...

What a complete and utter lie. What hole are you pulling these "facts" from?

And if you owned property for a long while you pay less in taxes than someone younger and on a lower salary.

You mean, someone retired and unemployed vs. someone at the peak of their career?

Man...you are projecting so hard, it's palpable.

Speak for yourself. I vote with my wallet and cut the cord well over 5 years ago.

I had to close two pop ups to read this article. So there's that.

It's not interesting. It' cherry picking.

Unfortunately, you have been taught and are executing Agile in the completely wrong fashion. My first guess would be, you are actually working in Waterfall, but your managers have labeled it Agile and cherry-picked the parts they liked.

If working retail, mopping floors and stocking shelves is not an entry level job, in your opinion, then what is?

These retail jobs need to pay a living wage.

1) A living wage for which city/state and 2) Does this include part time workers and 3) Define part time?

Straw Man Fallacies are also tiresome.

What most other countries are doing: Fund healthcare from tax money.

Then why do people in those same countries purchase additional insurance from the private sector?

In other countries they pay in taxes, in the US they pay for it in their own higher medical bills.

Surely you have heard of Medicaid and Medicare before. Yes?

Don't you get it? Anecdotes and hypotheticals trump logic and common sense.

Correct. In your bathroom.

Honestly, there is an epidemic of self defeatist in our day and age.

I don't get why people are mad at Zuckerberg and not themselves!

Because Trump won and Zuck is the new scapegoat. No one gave a shit when Obama's campaign did the same thing, and they were even public and boastful about it at the time.

This is Lifestyle Creep and you have to take responsibility for your own decisions.

The problem is with situations like where our President tweets gifs promoting violence against people and news organizations, or attempts to instigate nuclear war via Tweet.

That is spectacular. Our current culture war is THE reason why the Left is losing.

I'll believe those figure on battery life when someone independent confirms it.

There's a serious problem with conservatives demonizing and even dehumanizing those who don't follow their ideology

This is the best example of Psychological Projection that I have seen all week.

World's largest highway system (28 lanes at some points), yet still the second most congested.

you can make up the difference by increasing prices by 10%

LOL. Beautiful. Just beautiful. With no insight what so ever into the profit margins for a business, you've managed to solve all the Corporate world's problems. LMAO!

TL;DR The courts actually require states to intentionally create districts that have a majority population of minorities.

It's a difficult thing to manage. As a result of a Supreme Court ruling in regards to civil rights the states are not allowed to spread minority votes across district lines since it was determined that that doesn't give them a strong enough voice and doesn't allow them a united voice as well as the advancement of minority politicians in Congress.

States largely complied. But, as time has gone on people often believe that giving minorities their own districts actually hurts their political power because states put them all in their district, they get one politician and then the rest of the districts aren't a melting pot. So now there is a push to try to prevent states from districting based on racial lines, but the Supreme Court has already required them to do this. So it's a very fine balancing act the states have to go through, and in many cases they exploit the Supreme Court requirements/ruling to their political advantage.

And if you removed the racial districting you might actually lose minority representation in Congress in terms of number of minority Congressmen, which people don't want. So gerrymandering is this strange mix of affirmative action for Congress and political gamesmanship to protect a party's numbers in Congress.

Wow. There are a lot of people in here that have never worked in the Services industry or done the math for an Uber driver's take home pay after taxes/gas/maintenance.

It's ironic how the same people who say they don't mind paying a higher price vs tips, are choosing Uber because they are cheaper than a Lyft/Taxi.

"Compare that to the modern AIs outperforming highly trained doctors in diagnosis. Fundamentally different - instead of optimising a physical task we're replacing the need for a thinking human."

Which in turn leads to the (cheaper) diagnosis of more illnesses, which leads to an influx of treatments, that will require more Doctors and Nurses...which leads to more jobs.

"Short of moving to basic income..."

There it is.

"Almost every public measure and index"

For one, democracy and quality of life are subjective. Second, the other data points are cherry-picked.

Australia has a higher cost of living, a higher fertility rate, the Top Universities in the world 52/100 USA vs 4/100 Australia[1], the Top Medical Universities in the World 22/49 America vs 5/49 Australia[2].

And I could give you plenty more[3], but I think this proves my point.
