If the sex worker is consenting without duress and is being treated well (I recognize that's a big 'if') then I'm fine with it. I have no inherent objections to sex work itself so it would feel like a double standard to judge the people who use it.
Unfortunately the moral waters are muddied by the rampant trafficking, drug abuse, etc. within the industry.
Unless I'm missing something this seems trivial to test. Just test blood sugar before and after drinking a diet soda. If bloods sugar goes down then the sweetener likely caused a release of insulin. If it doesn't change then it didn't.
It seems petty far-fetched. If artificial sweeteners caused a runaway insulin spike then I would expect them to cause a lot of cases of diabetic shock.
Yeah, I dropped Spotify when they started plastering my home screen with ads for podcasts that I didn't want to listen to. If there had even just been a way to hide them after the fact, but no. I guess they really needed to justify the deal with Joe Rogan.
Of course everyone involved knows they will face consequences, but they may feel those consequences are better than the payments. Courts can't garnish paychecks that don't exist and a ruined credit rating only matters if you were ever going to be able to afford to buy a house or car in the first place. Afaik actual jail time isn't really a thing for defaulting on a loan. If the only leverage the government has to get people to pay the loan is to threaten their future financial security, then anyone who thinks the initial promises of security is bogus has nothing to lose.
There's also some people who are willing to take the hit just to send a political message.
That said, I suspect nowhere near 62% of borrowers will actually meaningfully boycott in any way.
Sounds like the injured officers are suing. It's a civil case not criminal, so I'm not sure how much the court would actually be asked to legislate. I'd be interested to hear their arguments, though I'm sure part of their reasoning for suing Tesla over the driver is they have more money.
If you're swerving to avoid a sudden obstacle you reasonably may not have the foresight or reaction to flip on a signal. The car still needs to not force you back on collision course.
Wow that video is insufferable... What does this actually have to do with cars? I don't see how people being too lazy to put a shopping cart back is really relevant to this sub
Edit: community, not sub. Gonna be a while till I fully work out all of the redditisms.
I heard once that Nintendo has enough cash in the bank to operate for the better part of a century without turning a profit. No clue if it's true, but if it is there may not be much valve (or anyone else) could do to make them nervous. Nintendo seems petty and stubborn enough to operate at a loss for a long time if it means they can keep running things as they like.
The os updates thing may hold more water for iOS... It's a bit suspect when comparing to Windows and just plain wrong if you compare to any major Linux distro.
Seriously though, I wanted to learn about Linux and chose trial-by-fire. I've used other (Debian based) distros but pacman + the Arch user repository are hard to live without now.
Though if I ever had to reinstall I'd probably save myself some headache and install EndeavorOS.
