And of course health insurance wouldn’t cover it because it’s “elective”.

Seems like that would be an argument for liposuction as a way to supplement other weight loss because it would remove those cells.

I would argue that this is not really true under capitalism. The logic of capitalism is one of capital accumulation, which requires growth. Under other systems you still have markets and money and profits but there are other goals than the accumulation of capital and therefore achieving “homeostasis” is a successful strategy-a business run with consistent inputs and outputs which includes a sustainable profit.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA. Most furries are lovely humans who hate fascism more than average. Don’t lump them in with these freaks.

Impossible to tell. Your brain is how it is, rather than worry about what you cannot change, think about what you want to do and how to do it. If you are experiencing cognitive issues or emotional distress that you think might be a long term effect of your young drinking, talk to a therapist or your doctor about how to address those issues now.

Noted non-theologian Peter Thiel…

I swear anyone who refers to the Antichrist in any serious way should be publicly mocked and then placed into a conservatorship.

I mean, in all fairness RATM is raging against the mainstream media, they’re just also raging against everything to the right of the mainstream media too.

So CNN just eliminated the option to decline tracking. Fantastic.

I am really sorry to hear this. I’ve tried to help my kids keep their feet on the ground, but still encourage them to work hard and share the enthusiasm they have for the pursuits they have chosen. Your mom sounds like she’s dealt with disappointment and hasn’t processed it well, so she’s negative about your interest in running.

For what it’s worth, I think you show a lot of effort and work ethic, and that’s what gets people to state. I think you should continue to be an example to your teammates and encourage them to look for the positives.

Nothing “mild” about how infuriating Teenage Mutant Ninja Goebbels is. There are only a few people I’d rather see fall from a very high place into a dumpster full of broken glass.

Not that I’m aware of.

You might expand that to “society continuing to allow children to suffer because their parents are unable to care for them is a larger issue than the question of copyright.”

I agree, and the ways in which it could materially matter (in the US, admission to and/or scholarships for better universities, for example) should be mitigated by making things like education available to all.

Because of the air industry (and car industry) lobbies.

Perfect.

Funny you’d assume she wants that. I assume they have a political marriage. He can point to his non-white wife as “evidence” he’s not racist, and she can use his influence to kickstart her media career, and neither of them have any real affection for each other.

Except it’s missing the hammer of the big seven tech companies whacking it further into that gap

Maybe she misunderstood and didn’t realize she’s supposed to reduce homelessness.
