Overeating is bad for sleep, isn’t it?

One of the good humans yes, according to the story’s morals

Ah then we agree, there was certainly so shift to the meaning of the phrase!

Uh, not really. In the story, a Jew gets injured and multiple Jews pass by without helping. Samaritans are enemies to the Jews, but the good Samaritan helps. A good Samaritan is someone that has no reason to help but still does out the goodness of their heart.

They are not my standards. Describing reality does not mean you’re happy about it. And yeah, that’s sexism, patriarchy, whatever you want to call it.

There is a social context that makes gender-swapping not entirely symmetrical. Men and women are not treated equally by a large portion of the population. These differences in treatment have repeating patterns and tendencies that create a bias that does not average out.

Just to be clear, both men and women suffer from these biases. Think “provide for family”, “parental leave”, “children custody”, “real men don’t cry” for men. Women get the short end of stick in terms of autonomy and respect though…

That’s pretty nice, it’s basically additional leave days! I still prefer European style with unlimited sick leave, but you need a certificate from your physician.

Without a doubt! Humans and life in general is uber efficient in terms of energy use. Most of the energy of a car is not directly spent for the work. Work is done when moving mass from a lower to a higher place and accelerating it to a higher speed. But once you have accelerated the mass to the cruise speed, it actually does not require any energy to maintain. Rather, the energy is spent by the car to heat up the air, move it around, wear the road and the tires, and make noise.

We use cars because they are muuuch more powerful than humans, at the cost of wasing a lot of energy. Try to push a car uphill, you won’t ever succeed without pullies which makes it even slower. Doesn’t matter how efficient you are if you cannot output the minimum power required to overcome friction etc.

Okay, I had a listen. Basically his arguments are:

• People don’t want it, it is forced through ruse by socialist politicians.
• It removes freedom from patients to choose their insurance, health care provider etc.
• It removes freedom from physicians to choose their working methods and living/practicing location. The state will control every aspect of their profession.
• By slippery slope, it’s going to lead to the same for every profession.

So it’s an attack point to impose socialism in America. Eh.

Somebody listened to this and can tell me what his rationale was? The unspoken reason is probably like less taxation for the rich and profit in the medical industry, but what are the “sensible” arguments he would be brave enough to formulate in public at the time? If it’s about medical research and innovation, it could be assured by the government but “it’s not the job of the state to ensure the people’s well-being”? Or “people will get lazy if their health is not on the line”?

Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty’s on our side.

What’s the stuff in the background on the right?

That’s a globe on the image, no?

Yeah, it’s Centurii-chan. Here’s their Insta: https://www.instagram.com/centuriichan/

I disagree. That Crowdstrike crashes is one thing; the issue here is that Windows suffers such a widespread crash, whether it is because of Crowdstrike or for any reason.

That’s an overall accurate analysis, but more leftists have dropped out than centrists. A number of centrists refused to drop out, leading to far right seats rather than leftists.

I’m not very familiar with UK politics, but are the Liberal Democrats far-left? It doesn’t look like it, at least by European standards.

Ah non, merci du partage je m’abonne :)

Dat ben ik ook 😋 Mais oui je suis francophone de base, je voulais une instance dans le Benelux !

Qu’il se soit senti trahi par Hollande je peux comprendre. Mais j’espère qu’il s’est rendu compte que voter social-démocrate c’est pas voter contre le capitalisme. Ce qui est bizarre c’est que cette élection semble être la plus prometteuse pour une gauche moins capitaliste et c’est maintenant qu’il baisse les bras.
