unprepare

because they are in bad parts of town at night with cash on them?

Did you have something different in mind?

can a 'John' expect his money returned if he is dissatisfied with his service?

I think not being able to expect a return of your payment is because of the illegality of the exchange, not because the exchange is for something different altogether.

>How is the iPhone an example?

Are you saying you can get the same prices for components as Apple does, regardless of quantity?

Or are you willing to admit that Apple, given its demand for greater quantities of components, is able to obtain better pricing for the components than an average Joe?

And would you further entertain the idea of an airline buying, say, peanuts, is in a similar position to pay less than the average consumer, given they are purchasing in much greater quantities?

How debilitating is your pain?

If your doctor refused to renew your prescription tomorrow, what would you use to deal with your pain in its place?

If you lost your job/insurance and thus were unable to afford anything other than over the counter medications, how would you cope with not having this pain medication available to you?

Does fentanyl have a procedure for when you want to stop taking the medication? (like how you should lower your dose over time before stopping with SSRIs and the like)

i appreciate you giving a first hand account from someone who uses this medication!

>Now, more than ever, there is a huge swath of available and acceptable behavior between those two extremes

just to flesh this out further, could you provide some examples of what you mean?

>First, homemakers aren't unemployed. They just work at different things.

So you are agreeing - since before one person was devoted full time to homemaking, and now they must find paid employment - that work still needs to be done so it must be done in addition to the hours worked at an employer.

so instead of one person doing 40 hours at an employer and one person staying home to keep up the house - we have two people working 40 hours each and then working overtime to maintain their house after work. We've added 40 hours of work to the equation.

> it's frightening to think we could soon be in a world where entire stories are categorically dismissed or accepted based on their source, rather than their individual content.

If you think categorically dismissing sources is a new phenomenon, may i point you to 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' which has been around at least since the 15th century.

Whats worrying is the lack of news sources that can be trusted by people from any political camp.

Oh i wasnt sure if it was something from somewhere else.

Are you and the top level comment saying that rural/midwestern poor white americans are competing for jobs against wealthy black americans? I'm just trying to understand what this sentiment means, not trying to be combative or anything

>means hiring a rich black person before a poor white person.

What is this referring to? I've seen you say the same thing several times in this thread, is it referring to something?

I wasnt trying to recommend a specific product, which is why i linked to the search rather than a specific product page.

I havent used any of them so wouldnt feel comfortable recommending any individual model

Well, the entire first half of the Bible is before the birth of Christ, and when Christ arrived the religion began whats called the New Covenant with God, replacing the old covenant which bound followers to the old laws of the old testament.

something being "in the bible" is meaningless without its context. Theres quite a breadth on the capturing, keeping and treatment of slaves - would you argue that these verses are the same as Christs teachings?

>As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves.

> You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you, and from their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property.

>You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property.

But hey, if you think being a Christian means following any phrase you happen to pick out of the Bible, go for it.

you can already find those on amazon fyi

>here are actually themes in the Bible that talk about a "worker deserving his wage", and "if a man doesn't work he doesn't eat".

wow some fantastic turns of logic you are using.

Christian means Christ-like. did Christ preach social darwinism, or did he spend his time with prostitutes and lepers?

Did Christ preach having the poor fend for themselves, or did he feed the hungry?

Did Christ praise the wealthy, or does he say "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

You can of course interpret your religion as you see fit, but in my eyes, right wing politics is incompatible with being Christ-like.

one charger for many devices beats one charger per device. period.

Apple obviously knows this, as they just moved their macbook to USB-C.

now i can charge my android phone with the same cable as my macbook, android is more compatible with the new macbook than the iphone is; thats an embarrassment

you could, ya know, look up the definition of racism. that would answer your question.

> that is a.) completely believable

How so?

If ecuador was going to give in to US demands, why wouldnt they just let the US extradite Asssange?

Clearly the US doesnt have the type of pull with Ecuador to force their hand, why would you think this is any different?

you believe that john kerry alone was able to convince them to cut the internet, but the fact that 3 separate countries want him arrested is meaningless to them?

Doesnt sound believable to me at all. so yes, i have reason to doubt a)

>He also believes that Asians and Jews are on average the intellectual superiors of "white" people, so it's not clear to me how that's "white" supremacy.

but it is the literal definition of racism...

I logged into my hbonow just to find this clip you are referring to. I transcribed it for everyone to read for themselves because i think you are remembering this incorrectly

they were talking about how cops are legally allowed to shoot civilians, including a quote:

>fatal shootings can be considered legal even if they are unnecessary or disproportionate

and that police have a name for such killings as "Lawful but Awful"

JohnOliver:

>on top of all this, prosecutors can bring in expert witnesses who can present nearly any situation as a potential threat. Take dr Bill Lewinsky, who runs something called the force science institute; for years he has testified on behalf of police officers. here he is providing rationale for why it may be ok to shoot someone that has a knife

The clip starts, Bill Lewinsky talking:

>knives can actually be more dangerous than a gun, they dont have to be reloaded, they can be used at a close distance. And we know that a stab from a knife, or a stab or a cut can be extremely quick(Makes slashing motion)

John Oliver interrupts him there to make fun of his stabbing motion:

>come on, that is not the motion you make when stabbing someone, that is the motion you make when you are a teenage magician finishing a trick. 'is this your card?' but - but there is no doubt there is no doubt a knife is a dangerous weapon, but what if someone doesnt have a knife? Dr Lewinsky, could force still be necessary if someone is unarmed?

another clip of lewinsky plays,

>first of all its significant to know that unarmed does not mean theyre not dangerous. In fact, the fist may have been the first weapon that human beings used against each other. In fact ive measured strikes of human beings on other humans and the strikes can occur at a speed of 4 5 or 6 strikes in a second, and some of them (pounds fist into hand) really hard

Oliver then makes a rock paper scissors joke, and no more clips of lewinsky are played.

I dont think you could really call this John Oliver saying that knives are not dangerous, i dont see him joking about police being worried about people with knives - its clear that he thinks the use of deadly force is happening too often and with too little consequence for the officers, but thats the point of the segment.

I dont know if Russia Today is a source I would choose, given that the counterclaim is that it was the russian state behind the hack...

That has nothing to do with how much total data you use in a month.

It doesnt matter if i download 1 TB or 100TB, it only matters if im trying to use all my bandwidth at the same time as everyone else.

Did you even look it up yourself?

you are presuming my stance on your pet issue and ignoring the actual discussion completely. if you want to argue about abortion take it elsewhere.

No, your point is excessively clear - that if forcing a woman to carry a child for nine months and go through the birthing process is controlling a woman, then so is arresting someone for committing a crime.

Its a plainly ridiculous point to make, regardless of whether you believe abortion is murder. Pregnancy simply isnt the same thing as criminal punishment.

Forcing a woman to go through a pregnancy would pretty clearly be a cruel or unusual punishment. Or do you believe that going through a pregnancy should be the punishment for other crimes as well?

Right but it's a terrible analogy for this discussion, it literally does 'control women' by forcing them to carry a baby for 9 months.

How is forcing someone to do something they dont want to do, not 'controlling'?

Whether that is there motivation or not is up for discussion, but it explicitly does control women.

Whether the motivation for the hijab is to control women could also be debated, but that is beside the point that it /does/ control women.

Whether there is another life in the balance also does not change the fact that it explicitly controls a woman's body.

I'm not taking a stance here on whether abortion should be legal or whether it represents a homicide of some kind, im simply stating that it does in fact control a womans body, regardless of the intent.

unlike homicide, a woman has to carry a child inside of her body for 9 months, dealing with all manners of complications (even life threatening complications)

the abortion = homicide idea is so flatly intellectually dishonest, im surprised to even see it mentioned here.

I never got the feeling that there was a lot of mistrust of other federation people.

for example, the Star Trek universe didnt seem like a universe where you had to shop around for a trustworthy mechanic, who wouldnt overcharge or over diagnose. (e.g. headlight fluid)

Maybe the implicit trust of other people was integral to the AI being successful in that universe.

only if you hacked together your own search, maps, calendar, etc. as well.

Maybe someday that will be a realistic endeavor, but it would take a lot of effort to set up and maintain your own personal versions of all of google's services, and integrate them

> Under federal law and in most states, employers may pay tipped employees less than the minimum wage, as long as employees earn enough in tips to make up the difference. This is called a "tip credit."

Technically you can sue your employer if they wont pay you the difference if you dont end up making enough in tips to end up at or above minimum wage - in practice however, suing your employer is generally not a great way to stay employed

so in the face of massive layoffs of entire sectors of the economy - you are suggesting that restaurants will be hiring /more/ people?

Who is eating at these restaurants that wasnt before? Why would they suddenly be hiring millions of people at restaurants?

Who is suddenly attending more fitness classes now that there is massive unemployment, to the extent that we need millions more fitness instructors?

Your suggestions dont make any sense whatsoever. If you had said Campbells soup company would be hiring you might be on to something, but in the face of millions losing jobs, luxuries like restaurants, fitness classes, etc certainly wont be seeing massive growth in demand....
