Great read, thanks for that!

I’m kind of with your family on this one, but if you are going through with it I would just verify with the doctor performing the procedure whether it can be reversed in case you change your mind later on.

Ok, sure. I do want to point out that I simply answered the question. I don’t deny my state of luxury yet also don’t feel that this bout of whataboutism is entirely warranted.

By looking at it from a larger perspective. You can always get worked up about things but if you zoom out, you see that most of it is just a temporary trend. Some things trend well, some trend poorly, but these tend to be blips in the span of a lifetime.

Especially when comparing with the past you will see that things really aren’t all that bad in general.

They (NYT) also did a similar one on election day in November 1999, where the answer could be both GWBUSH and ALGORE with the hint “The next president of the United States”. Their crossword puzzle person/team is pretty clever.

Edit: I might have misremembered after a quick kagi search. This seems the one I had in mind: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2zqn4o/til_that_the_new_york_times_published_a_crossword/

Yea, and tomorrow Musk announces the imminent go live of his robot sales, predicts several million will be sold in a matter of months and the stock will bounce back up 10%.

Even if I was still an active investor I would not bet against Tesla. Musk has proven a master in stock manipulation.

Based on how it went with nutria in Europe, that is exactly what will happen.

Them allowing unlimited book checkouts during covid in defiance of copyright law, resulting in them getting sued and losing bad in court. They knew it was going to get them in trouble and proceeded anyway.

I’m not saying it wasn’t a noble thing to do, but it was stupid and they knew better. So now they are just paying off the fine and I don’t want my money to go straight to the publishers and lawyer fees.

I regularly donate to wikipedia, the guardian, keepass2android, whatever fund raising Ukraine Matters has at the time I feel like donating and lemmynsfw. Also have a tax deduction directed to animal shelters.

I used to support the internet archive, but I’m still pissed off at their stupidity.

It’s Boeing though…

Thanks for the insight, grok

Carney: looks like it’s time to start dumping US bonds again.

Pay and conditions were not destroyed because of immigrants, but are a side effect of globalization. Production facilities were offshored, leading to a collapse of local manufacturing and low skill jobs (where no prior education is required, low skill jobs can and sometimes do require a lot of skill). Reshoring those jobs is incredibly difficult because it also means reconfiguring the supply lines. For urban areas this is not a huge issue, as those can switch to a service based economy, but for small towns this often meant that the main economic driver of the town left and people lost jobs.

Anyway, not caused by immigration. As a matter of fact, immigrants are a significant driver of economic activity and partly offset that.

Lol, this had me chuckle.

That’s why you have euthanasia laws in some countries. It allows you to say goodbye with dignity while you are still sane. For example, if you get diagnosed with an aggressive and untreatable cancer, it allows you to say farewell to your loved ones before you become a husk of your former self simply waiting to die.
