One can assume, yes. But that's not especially scientific, is it? What's the point of the research if you can't look at the methodology?

Someone else defended the post from people saying "well d'uh" by saying we need to corroborate our theories and not just assume they're correct. Kind of hard to do when research is hidden behind paywalls.

The free market is propaganda to trick people into thinking capitalism is somehow ethically solvent.

Fixing the issue doesn't line the pockets of investors. People aren't going to stop going to the hospital, so why fix it?

A women wrote an article about how women are afraid of the possibility of male strangers attacking them, comparing it being stuck in the woods with the bear.

And, as is tradition, instead of actually reading the article a bunch people took it to mean that she would literally rather be attacked by a bear rather than a man.

So self-delusion?

"Folk" is pretentious in your mind? I would think the opposite were more true. Having "folksy charm" means you're more grounded and personable when describing someone you find to be outside the norm.

Because corporations make things based on the demand of those individual people. They don't exist in a vacuum. And they're not going to change because someone on the internet rants about them. Their only incentive is profit

And of course the land couldn't be used for anything else... like natural ecosystems.

Just because land exists doesn't mean it needs to be pillaged to feed our desires.

... and steel was brought up.

Steel, I believe, needs much higher temperatures and purified inputs.

Wait a second... that's more than two words!

Haven't iPhones had service lives far past most other phones? The used market for iPhones is huge compared to Android.

Calicos can be male, they're just infertile cause they got extra genes.

Mine says "Defining journalism as a strictly capitalist endeavor is self-defeating".

Few people have the money or wherewithal to subscribe to every small town newspaper in the country, much less the world, just so they can read articles you post. And getting bent out of shape at people trying to live their lives as informed as possible without being squeezed dry of every penny they have is ludicrous.

He's a smarmy self-important jackass who revels in the ability to get as much attention possible by attacking anyone who can't defend themselves.

In your mind, of course. Seems you have a monopoly on opinion.

Is impeachment the only thing the House can do? They can't enact any other kinds of legislation? Current legislative efforts not-withstanding.

They're not, actually. Just because you only see Epic (which still has market share despite every effort they've made to drive people away) doesn't mean there aren't other storefronts.

They're definitely part of an oligopoly, though.

As opposed to negative money?

"I prefer a quality storefront that at least presents the pretense of caring about providing a quality product to one that just wants to separate me from my money"

"What are you, some kind of fanboy?"
