Ayy glad you agree. It can be hard to remember, but most people really do want to do the right thing. Sometimes, posts like this make us forget that humanity advances forward in spite of the consequences because we as a species want to make the world a better place, even if some of us are evil I feel like humanity as a whole is inherently good.
You know, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a Maid IT service out there somewhere. You're telling me I can fix computers all day AND dress in a maid outfit? sign me up!
my favorite part about reading the relevant Wikipedia article is the libertarian magazine claiming the islands were "more or less reclaimed by the sea". As if the people already there weren't people but fish or something.
For those curious: Here is the Wikipedia article
This is a defeatist take and while the answer isn't a super simple "just tell people to not order out and cook more" we can definitely do more to help people stop relying on eating out and fast food.
I kinda wonder where the down-votes are coming from? It seems unrealistic to assume half of all currently using people will stop using facebook, youtube, and snapchat within 2 years. As much as I'd like to assume otherwise I feel like that's farfetched even with the study posted.
Facebook is one of the social media sites banned by the Chinese government. I'm not saying they don't use it anyway, but for what it's worth the last time I checked it was also banned.
This is not the age where unions have any effective impact
I don't know, the UAW looks like it's having plenty of impact to me. As a matter of fact, unions are looking pretty strong at the moment. But to be honest, you weren't here to argue in good faith, you made that especially clear with your last sentence.
Even the best laid plans go awry though. The point is even if they pragmatically design it to not kill indiscriminately, bugs and glitches happen. The technology isn't all the way there yet and putting the ability to kill in the machine body of something that cannot understand context is a terrible idea. It's not that the military wants to indiscriminately kill everything, it's that they can't possibly plan for problems in the code they haven't encountered yet.
That's the issue being discussed here. The tests will also show up if you smoked the week before on your day off. They don't determine whether you were high on the clock or high on the weekends only. It penalizes people who smoke weed in their free time, as opposed to people who are actively causing a problem.
Additionally, booze, meth, and heroin for example, are all out of your system much faster, so it doesn't really do a good job of determining whether or not they'll be blitzed on the job either, which is what the comment you replied to said. The point being made is that the drug test isn't actually going to prevent anyone from being drunk on the job, but it will prevent you from hiring the guy who tried weed once in his free time.
I have Generalized anxiety disorder, It's chronic and therapy doesn't "cure" it. I will most likely struggle with it for the rest of my life. While this may be an anecdotal example I'm not aware of anything that "cures" anxiety disorders, therapy is mostly there to manage the symptoms effectively. Therapy helped me understand and somewhat mitigate the problem, but it's not something I can ever be rid of, and that's how it is for a lot of people who have an anxiety disorder.

Much better! It's definitely much better than when I started using it. I remember it being so buggy at first.
