I mean in terms of effect on population (which is kind of the point), the analogy still holds.

Everytime this topic is mentioned people say the same things about how the critics of fluorinated municipal water don’t know how much it’s helped cavities and stuff. Someone once pointed out that it’s important to understand that their concern is on its effects on brain chemistry for which there’s evidence that it has toxic effects.

Dental health is irrelevant so save your breath or at least know that it’s seen as a straw man argument. Personally, I looked it up and can see the potential for negative effects (imbalance in seratonin levels as per a .gov website). I still drink the fluoride water but do so with jaded resignation that I may be participating in the lead pipe experiment of my generation.

A lot of people criticized Dems for exactly this when Harris was appointed after Biden dropped out.

Let them who are most pro-war get to fight on the front lines.

Idc if it’s a one sided genocide, this fluffy politician who wouldn’t last a 3 mile ruck should get to experience wtf he’s actually advocating.

World in Conflict is one I don’t see talked about. Squad based military RTS.

Multiplayer on that was so fun. Guessing how the enemy was moving in order to time how you call ordinance on them was my favorite part

You’re upset that other person is jumping to conclusions about you, yet you jumped to conclusions about the thread OP and something burger not having the ability to come up with the advice you doled out.

Your responses implied that they needed was some rudimentary social knowledge when they’re trying to explain that the loneliness epidemic is more nuanced than the meme portrayed it as.

Tbh your advice was pretty typical

I agree, it’s an oversimplification. The Democratic party has become the party of ‘going back to business as usual’ and refuses to lower it’s commitment to the corporations that fund it. Trump won 2016 because he was a genuine establishment shaker.

Leftists need a rouge candidate who refuses to bow. Someone who shows promise of CHANGE and not business as usual.

They hire ex-cop contractor buddies and give them gobs of municipal money to do a ‘training’ session where they brainwash the entire force into thinking that they’re at war with an insurgency as dangerous to them as alqueda was to the military that so many of them came from.

This is one of the reasons they’re so trigger happy. Right from academy they’re taught this, and any recruits who question it get dropped. One of the more famous programs is literally called ‘Kill-ology’.

One of the missing pieces that was mentioned by someone else is the purchase of residential properties by businesses being at all time highs.

WFH is efficient and makes sense in many cases. Private equity firms buying homes and holding them to sweat out the market far beyond what a solo landlord could or would, does not.

Ty for calling out the non-sense. Somehow accusing Democrats of also being on the take is considered outlandish.

Theyve got us fighting over scraps (abortion, marriage, the right to express ourselves and love who we want) but they are in full agreement on where most of the tax dollars go (MIC, contracting companies of powerful friends, subsidies for factory farms).

Gonna have to wake up the dormant Sheeple.

War is a racket

Tiiiired of the same loser rhetoric of voting for the lesser evil of two consistently deteriorating parties.

Dummies, where will it end? Put these corporate cock suckers on notice. Do not legitimize their rule with your lips.

End the duopoliticial tyranny. Used to be whig party vs democratic party. Used to.

if you create a situation where the cop does not feel safe

You reach for your license ‘too fast’ - cop does not feel safe Acorn falls on car - cop doesn’t feel safe You are boiling water at home - cop does not feel safe You are writhing in pain underneath their boot - cop does not feel safe

US cops are literally brainwashed into feeling like the public is a threat to them. They are wired to look for a reason to escalate.

Maximizing the utility of labor? I’m alluding to using the components of the scenario in the most efficient way.

How would you express it?

Yeah I see your point and I’ve got amazing manners with human beings. It’s a view I personally reserve for companies. And the larger they are, the less I respect them enough to have ‘manners’ towards them.

Perhaps it’s the inability for people to treat corporations the way corporations treat people that leads to such a power differential.

I definitely have the unpopular opinion of disagreeing. As much as I’d like to employ manners with my grocery store, if there’s no corral within a 30 second walk from me, I don’t put the cart back. Most of my purchases are under 8 items and I usually don’t use a cart so I just carry everything by hand in the store and out.

My grocery store doesn’t care about manners on their end. It treats me like an economic unit and even makes self checkout the most reasonable option. They’d have me clean the floors as part of the checkout if they could. From a utilitarian perspective, it makes more sense for one person to gather all the carts in a batch rather than each individual going back for their individual cart.

The insurance rates thing is a legitimate point ( insurance is a racket, though. Fuck those guys too)

In the US, unlike most other countries, medical doctors are most at risk for suicide.

The book ‘Determined’ makes a great point on how schizophrenia victims have been mistreated throughout history.

Size matters in all these cases. To your point, size matters in long distance running, which is the crux of the articles message.

If you think size doesn’t matter when you’re bow hunting, you probably haven’t taught someone with a significant size difference how to draw a bow.
