It sounds like she is playing by all the rules. The writers are just being salty.

Yes

Pretty much.

I’m going to be a year away. I remember smoking sections in restaurants and a world without the internet. I was probably less than 10 taking bike excursions around town without supervision . It was a different time.

"There's no reason to think they'll be unsafe," Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Health in New York City, told NBC News. "But whether they'll provide significantly more protection than the original vaccines? Of that I'm skeptical."

“.. could prevent 100,000 more hospitalizations each year than if only the elderly were vaccinated..”

Assuming the 100k was speaking to the US population of which there are 339M, we would be saving .0030% of the population. The CDC published adverse reaction stats across several decks such as this. To ballpark using their numbers, you can put it somewhere at around 400-500 hospitalizations for extremely adverse events with a portion of that being deaths or seriously messing the person up permanently, such as a portion of the stroke victims or some of the kids with myocarditis. It sounds like the thing people are in agreement on is for the most at risk to get it. Basically, experts in the field are weighing-in and there is a media bias to write-off even the good ones that don’t agree entirely with the government/corporate narrative. In many respects, this is a profit push. We could save .003% of the population from hospital visits in other contexts without putting 500 people at great risk. For $130 an American, you could do a lot. You could give everyone a heart monitor. You could provide mats for slippery areas around the house or provide driveway salt for the winter, etc. The reason that this is getting attention still is because of the money.

It’s hard to imagine a time when you could smoke a cigarette on a talk show.

In all the years of super spicy food existing on this planet, there are almost no deaths reported. He had some other undiagnosed health issue for sure. Waiting on the autopsy.

The keep out of reach of children and the adults only warning. Also, the thousands of videos online of people showing how hot the chip is or even ones of kids his age eating it and resulting in an ambulance trip. It wasn’t even the hottest thing that I’ve eaten honestly, but it was enough to make most people have a very bad time. The hottest natural thing that I have eaten was hot sauce prepared by the founder of Halal Guys many years ago when he worked at the original location. He called it a bad batch because it was too strong. The hottest extract was the hot wing challenge from The Mean Fiddler. This was third, but ranked closely with quite a few others.

The instructions state that it is for adults only. I essentially have body training in handling extreme spicy. At 14, you are considered a man in most societies. Why should we wussify American youth? At that age, I was eating habaneros. I blame the parents for not introducing him to spicy food and allowing him to make an informed decision.

The warnings were all over it.

I did the challenge two days ago. It was the third spiciest I’ve had. Was definitely something that could do harm to someone who doesn’t know how to handle ultra-spicy. The kid won a Darwin Award. You can’t ban spicy food nor should you. This is a parenting issue. If this kid didn’t die from this skull and crossbones coffin wrapped in warnings, it would have been some other TikTok challenge like drinking bleach.

I feel so old because Pokémon was neat and all, but it was late to the party. We already had years of MTG and even Star Wars CCG. We played the RYB carts on GB, but I was rocking my Nightmare and Leviathan well before my Mewtwo and Charizard.

Adding a heading to a picture or article is a form of classification. It actually should qualify as an acceptable use-case in the same way that I would identify the contents of microscope slides. “A female is seen doing blank” is purely scientific classification. I think that the mod is being anti-science. The ultra-left is a bit regressive.

If bad people adopt a word or mannerism, does that become immediately cancelled from the acceptable lexicon. Shouldn’t Webster’s update their dictionary or something. Is their a rule book. It is hard to keep up with the times. In the context of classifying the content of an image in a very scientific manner, the poster correctly identified that this person was the female gender based upon their outward appearance. Are we really going to get to a point where we can’t assume someone is male or female and have to refer to everyone as a person and they/them until the person has identified themselves. As someone edging upon 40, that reality seems overly complex and makes it feel like everyone has to walk a fine line or be cancelled.

You are correct, however the purpose of the message is moreso to keep China from undercutting us on their goods and materials exported. Their government tends to help drive down the price of good sold in order to inflict harm on other country’s businesses in the same sector. It is hard to sustain a company if all your customers can get your product for artificially cheaper in China. The best way to address this is to remind China that we are customers of their businesses as well and that they would stand to lose more by not playing fairly. If we just told them to go fuck themselves and set excessive embargo taxes on their imports, which Trump did, it had a negative impact on every industry within each respective supply chain. It takes time to build new resource pipelines. Ideally, we need to have multiple sources.

Policies typically are ongoing. A one-time distribution is an action. It could be a policy to provide distributions of money on a cadence, however I don’t feel that would be as good of a policy as one that doesn’t cost anything directly and enables companies to proceed at something good for society expediently.

A policy decision would be to mandate that no new cars use combustion by the end of the decade and for the government to use its regulatory powers to approve electrical grid infrastructure project, approve new nuclear plants asap, and incentivize the creation of battery recycling businesses, such as through making alternative energy companies tax free entities instead of mega churches.
