What saddens me about this topic is the large amount of hatred coming at cyclists from drivers in the opinion page of the local newspaper (Seattle Times). Why not have some gratitude they are not contributing to…
I’m in the middle of this right now. They detail a scenario that starts off pretty convincing but takes a turn into a sci-fi feel when this fictional model starts strategizing on how to escape its containment. The core…
Is it the end of the world or just Davos?
I love this because it explains so much about the human mind. Rationally, it was the medication. Emotionally, it was Jesus.
I have to wonder, too, if this partially describes why "Make America Great Again" has been such an effective slogan. The greatness that most Americans long to return to is a time where a larger middle class was able to…
“Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.”
Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. It was a different world when you were a kid. People weren’t as incendiary in their speech.
It’s unsettling to think that humanity has lost knowledge it once had, but it happens all the time. Anyone here know how to harness a horse to a buggy?
Gen Z discovers nostalgia.
True that a majority of the electorate voted for and should have expected this, but Presidential approval rating is in the cellar.
I think your take makes sense. Thanks for laying it out. I worry about the containment aspects of this. Sure, the capex for this is coming off corporate balance sheets, but a bad event could wipe away a lot of stock…
I came here with a similar thought. Given that we don't have a really precise definition of that transition from living to dead, I wonder if this could be it.
Only the prices paid by my side are unfair or absurd. The prices paid by their side are justified. Meanwhile the lines dividing us become deeper and wider.
Wedge issues, deployed by both political parties, do exactly this. Wealthy donors express their political desires by funding politicians who become dependent on their continued financial support. The voter gets just…
I live in a somewhat small community (~25k) and I commuted into the city on public transportation for about 15 years. 10 years ago, I started working from home full-time. I often see the people I used to commute with…
Currently, due to the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare, health insurance companies are prohibited from setting rates based on individual risk (except they can charge higher premiums to tobacco users). Before the law,…
I'm a nope for space flights. I'm a nope to time travel. I'm a nope for snorting nanobots. I guess I'm just too 20th century for all that stuff.
Fair point. We _currently_ exist in a time of choice, but that is only due to the recent availability of effective birth control methods. Some choose to do it the old fashioned way and let the fates decide when and if…
I read only as far as the abstract. What would motivate an adult to feign ADHD symptoms? Is it access to prescription drugs? Disability benefits?
Or leave it as is and let it become a honeypot for people who don’t understand the laws of thermodynamics.
Yeah. This was a regretful click.
I love this. It seems like conspiracy theory on a Universal scale.
I heard a podcast interview with the doctor recently who said that we have technology that can be implanted into someone who is at risk for dying of sudden cardiac arrest that will prevent it from happening. It tends to…
Thank you for sharing that link. This whole question has been on my mind a lot lately. I am 55 years old, and my son is 11. Both of my parents died in nursing homes. I don’t yet know how I want to die, but I have a good…
Before you wave this off as a “both sides are just as bad” issue, consider that the reason Amazon started down the path of displaying tariffs is likely due to a long-standing company value of putting the customer first.…
