God this is so fucking stupid. Can we get the Government to focus on actual problems rather than this bullshit?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "hijack"?

Probably a lot simpler if you shave your head, no?

I used to drink 1 / day to relax thinking I was alright, because I followed the guidelines, but I saw the effects of drinking even just that little had on both my mental and physical health.

It's the consistency that's no bueno; the quantity just determines the amplitude of the negative effects. Drinking alcohol daily in any quantity is just outright bad for anyone.

This is how class actions lawsuits work. They're not meant to completely compensate all the victims, but rather sue the defendant on behalf of all the victims with a single case to efficiently enact a larger punitive financial penalty.

Or at least that's my armchair IANAL understanding.

[-] just hides that branch of the comment tree so that you can ignore it if you want to focus on reading other branches.

This is so stupid and pointless, all because a few people that over-obsess about essentially inconsequential numbers don't understand how rash generalization is a logical fallacy, so they assume their experiences must be everyone else's experiences.

Maybe due to the fact that on the internet at least, vegans tend to be the preachy moralistic types that call you a monster for eating meat.

I don't know about IRL, as I haven't met many people that I know to be vegan, as with most groups on the internet, the worst squeaky wheels are over-represented and their brand of squeakiness really gets under many people's skin.

Because page reloads are jarring and discontinuous experiences. They run counter to a good user experience. That's not to say that every SPA is a good user experience, but just that a page reload is not part of the recipe for a good user experience.

Is it not within the bounds of believability that the same generation that has safe spaces and fears of sauce (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/16/style/snowplow-parenting-...) on college campuses might also be literally afraid of cooking.

No, but I think we've hit peak news media outlet ...

Can you show me an example of where and how Google or Facebook "sells your information?" i.e. allows others to view that information?

This.

In addition, I often see people propagate the myth that eating healthy costs more, which couldn't be further from the truth.

The reality is that meal preparation and home cooked meals from basic ingredients are some of the healthiest things people can eat, assuming they understand basic concepts such as macro-nutrients and how they relate to body composition.

"We've already seen that in XYZ" seems like a really bad argument for disliking something. That's like saying that Game of Thrones shouldn't have been made, since we've already seen a medieval / fantasy show in the form of Lord of the Rings.

I don't mind the people who want to make the world a better place.

I mind the people who want to do so without regard for the consequences and collateral damage of their actions, which can hurt those they think they're trying to help.

I mind the radicals. They are dangerous. They don't have a sane mindset. Worse than them though are the ones like them who don't care about making the world a better place, but rather simply want to see the world burn, because they are angry. These are the people that manipulate good causes towards not so good ends.

I think a lot of it has to do with the original audience being largely composed of the "burn capitalism to the ground" types of folks, who still feel that way, whilst the series itself is showing the negative ramifications of those actions.

Folks want to live in a fantasy where they save the world that they feel so much pain in, and they can't stomach the idea that their pain is a product of their own mind rather than the world in which they reside where so many others are happily living their lives.

As someone currently doing backbreaking work, please fork off with this bullshirt.

Yeah, I get it, it's mentally tiring and a lot more effort than we see in the video. Cry me a river. Be glad your everything from the waist down doesn't feel like it's falling apart without taking an iburprofen because you didn't just have to clock in a half forking marathon in some cheap sneakers from walmart.

Sounds like a great way to create a huge security flaw for your users and their passwords, or a nifty method by which your attackers can DoS your site.

KISS.

The web developers that think like this are bad at web development, and likely security. Why would anyone trying to brute force your authentication portal care about using your UI?

Yeah, I'm guilty of thinking this way as a patient. I had bursitis issues, but I convinced myself that it was a rotator cuff tear, partly because I didn't know that the bursa were a thing. I was skeptical of PT, but that along with anti inflammatories pretty much made me good as new. I was down to 170 just from avoiding upper body due to excruciating pain, but after PT I am now stronger than before and back up to 195ish.

What's the overlap between techies and San Fran's politicians and politically active individuals who prevent the necessary steps from being taken regarding housing policies?

EDIT for clarity: What percentage of those responsible for the horrible laws there were actually techies?

I enjoy the money I saved by not buying an iPhone.

Can you provide a source for that $775 figure? In May alone there were 144,000 illegal immigrants processed by the CBP. That's over $100,000,000 just for one month, which makes me skeptical of that figure off $775 / person being available.

That's not relevant to anything in this thread. Please stay on topic.

A wall would deter people from coming to begin with, which would ease the burden on border patrol facilities, making the whole situation more humane.

Let's not belittle these people by pretending that they don't have access to the internet and world news. People will still come, but once word spreads that a wall in key locations is actually being built, at least some percentage of them will reconsider the decision and settle with aid from countries such as Mexico, which had already been granted to them.

What makes you believe that the "asylum seekers" are being treated any sort of way due to their ethnicity?

I'm glad we agree ... so with that settled, the Democrats, particularly the progressive wing, will be approving funding for Homeland Security and Border Patrol then, right?

No? Oh, right, I forgot we need to keep this humanitarian crisis going till the 2020 elections so that Dems can retake the White House ...

Why do you believe this to be the case?

I'm saying that they're better off in Border Patrol facilities than being repeatedly trafficked across the desert, recycled over and over again to create fake family after fake family for criminals to get into the united states.

It might help us provide a more humane experience for them while in these facilities if we didn't have politically motivated Democrats demagoguing and grandstanding, trying to play off our emotions for election points, whilst denying funding for these facilities.

But NOPE! I guess we can't fund these facilities, because the progressive wing of the party has collectively fallen into the delusion that we're in pre-WW2 Germany and Trump is a Nazi, just because they don't like the guy. It's the most ridiculous paranoia I've come across, which is saying something coming from me considering how generally paranoid I am personally. There's no basis for it. None whatsoever.
