self driving cars are the answer to the question what if public transport was expensive and dangerous

well my sex ed consisted of a man who would later that year get fired for hitting a student telling us that premarital sex will result in pregnancy and then having us perform a play I can only describe as racially charged about the subject

after being fired he went on to become a far right politician

I even routinely go on dates with friends who are poly- but it's just to be friends.

Isn't that just going to dinner with friends

I would guess he means something along these lines

I read somewhere that often when the Chinese talk about culture they are thinking about it in a more Confucian perspective and so often don't quite mean what we do when we say culture

Xi becomes the new clean your room guy

how it feels sometimes

I know there are barriers to unethical research I am in favour of those barriers.

Race science is just an example of how academic science hasn't always acted responsibly. research should and is subject to ethical considerations and responsible inovation meaning that science should be done in the public interest

it would be science to create a new hyper infectious strain of smallpox and there should be barriers to stop someone doing that

and also eugenics

I agree with the sentiment in the context of it being a file sharing site for academic texts but it's not worded so well barriers in the way of science could also include ethical concerns to certain kinds of experiment

When Israel kills Hamas it's collateral damage from them going after civilians would explain the numbers better

Borg general wolfe taking the place with borg cubes modified to move silently through space

I don't want to see it the fact is that only one guy actually claims to have seen them and they refuse to share any proof.

So it is therefore not unreasonable to think that it might not actually have happened

yeah I do that all the time you bring a bag with you

That's what I said

The minimum cost they could charge is the amount it cost them to make it which would go up but they charge the maximum which is the price that generates the most profit without sacrificing sales therefore a pay rise would mean the company would just have to eat the cost and make less profit

Zelensky will probably take neo nazis with him that will start something

I think the companies already charge whatever they can get away with. They are always going to charge the maximum price they can without losing more money in lost sales.

The workers getting a pay rise would increase the minimum cost they could charge but they already charge the maximum which is what the market will bear. To not do the latter would mean these companies are willingly leaving money on the table

that's nice what is he going to do about it

Yeah I learned recently that there is a major industry harvesting peoples blood in america

“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”
