Inequality has gotten so much worse that rich people don't even fly in the same planes as us anymore.

That's going to have perverse incentives on airplane safety too. They have no reason to update their laws if peasant airplane doors falling off becomes common.

My main thought is "this is a screenshot of a wall of text that's hard to read".

Which is basically an admission that they'd like to charge you past the point of cancelation.

I still can't believe Sony is still in business. Who's dumb enough to keep buying stuff from a company that booby-trapped their own CDs?

He's assuming infinite elasticity, which isn't how prices work in real life.

The typical version of this argument is that the people who are being taxed in the first place are the ones increasing rents. In which case taxes can then be increased until the desired equilibrium is achieved.

That's not to say we couldn't also provide a basic safety net like he describes. But that raises the question of why UBI should stop there. If our economy can generate a surplus, then why shouldn't all humans sharing their slice of the Earth get it?

That means it's a Jewish owned business, but doesn't inform us whether or not the owners put up these signs (rather neatly).

Sorry if I'm misinterpreting your comment, but that's usually in reference to people who expect you to make unilateral sacrifices as protest. Foregoing r/place isn't a sacrifice like foregoing a smartphone entirely is; the whole point either way (deface/ignore) is just to send a message.

Yet Democrats won't expand the Supreme Court because "it'll set a precedent".

For better or worse, we're going the way of "the car guy". It used to be something everyone needed to know a little bit about, but now fades into the background with a handful of experts.

I assume they mean this?

In the past, some critics have criticized 12-step programs as pseudoscientific and "a cult that relies on God as the mechanism of action". Until recently, ethical and operational issues had prevented robust randomized controlled trials from being conducted comparing 12-step programs directly to other approaches. More recent studies employing randomized and blinded trials have shown 12-step programs provide similar benefit compared to motivational enhancement therapy (MET) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and were more effective in producing continuous abstinence and remission compared to these approaches.

In typical internet fashion, rather than read these mod logs and decide who was right, I'm just going to say "down with the CCP" a bunch of times there and see if I get banned.

Correcting my code is helpful. The machine didn't know what I even meant. Computers are interesting and changing rapidly.

Correcting my grammar is an unsolicited English lesson from someone who already knew what I meant. English is not interesting or changing quickly.

Hey in case any Brits need to hear this: he will not receive a fair trial here in the USA. It is a fully corporate state with a democratic facade. Slavery is still legal here, just restricted to prisoners.

I don't think hours of noise canceling headphones are a realistic solution for everyone, like people with autism or sensitive ears.

What we should have is a "children's section" in the back of the plane. If your party only contains adults, then you can only book in the adult section until it's filled, and same with parties that have kids. Parents don't want to disrupt everyone, but imagine this on a longer bus or train ride!

Cut him some slack. It'd be hard to admit to himself what his father is, let alone bring himself to do it.
