Alice Walton, one of the owners of Walmart "while speeding in Fayetteville, Ark., she struck and killed Oleta Hardin, a 50-year-old cannery worker. She never received so much as a ticket. "
I do appreciate posts like those.
My objective when I look through a comment thread, especially in a topic I don’t know much about, I’m looking for the well reasoned posts. I admit I’m a human (confirmed via captchas) and love to have my opinions validated, but I also like to read a different take on a situation or issue. And because I am not in a situation where I don’t feel like I have to defend my opinion I’m more open to seeing a different perspective.
So thank you for taking the time to write those out - and to others that do that thank you as well.
You know what makes a great society? Teaching your kids the bare minimum.
Only those that are piloted by men… because I’m going to assume you don’t mean that women can’t/don’t drive busses or fly planes?
A very rich friend of mine decided that they wanted to “take time off” and travel the world. She called her travel agent (10 pm on a Saturday) and got them to build a world trip by Monday afternoon. That Friday she got on a plane and just left for 9 months of travel. There was never a sense of this being a big deal or extravagant but more of a quirky whim.
It was then that it occurred to me that while we live on the same planet we don’t live in the same world.
This is such a good visualization of big numbers and big bank accounts.
It’s also a good way to really see the bull shit argument that it’s unfair to tax the wealthy at a higher rate. Even if they get taxed at 90% (which I don’t think will happen in my lifetime) they still will have enough money for them and their decedents to live a lavish lifestyle. And that extra money could really make America into the country that it pretends to be.
There is some research that shows that aerobic exercise can have a positive effect on visceral fat:
But it’s not all too straight forward
There are probably more studies that show both positive and inconclusive evidence for exercise and changes in visceral fat because that kinda how science is…
Sounds like the man is really bored with his life and all he has left are drugs to keep him entertained
Yes. It’s the slowness of new content on Lemmy vs. Reddit that I enjoy. I now get off this site much quicker because there is nothing new. I’ve become a slight bit more productive with my day.
When you start looking at older debunked theories that lasted for a long time you can see the human bias in them. Not just a human bias but a a western bias.
Two that stick out for me:
Trees compete for sunlight - I think it makes sense to us humans because we compete for resources but in truth trees are way more ‘community’ based
The male alpha wolf - It’s how the western world has been organized for centuries so it’s easy to see that in a wolf pack even though its not true.
And if people’s healthcare isn’t tied to their jobs there would be more people willing to start their own business increasing the chance of competition.
Is there a way to actually thank these justices for doing their job? Seems to me that all these people get is the shit and not much thanks.
I keep posting this article because I’m tired of hearing this statement as an excuse why we can’t do things for the American people.
If it is something that the leaders want they seem to always find the money.
I use it for background when I need to concentrate.
I think about this for most action movies as well.
Yep. I think “The Road” by Cormack McCarthy is probably the closest to what a post-apocalyptic world would look like and that shit is bleak.
The few wealthy people I’ve met, not billionaires but $100+ millionaires, seem to have a limited skill set. They have “people” to do the work. I’ve always wondered how they would fair in a post-apocalyptic world?
Personally I’d rather have those people that can MacGuyver a solution out of rubber bands and mud.
All this to say that ol’ Zuck should probably hire some good ol’ boys/girls to do his work for him or he’s screwed.
As long as the cops don’t sympathize with the nazis
