Homeopathy convinces people to take a mixture that has no active ingredient instead of one that can affect what they’re sick with. If it’s a cold, eh whatever. If it’s cancer, that’s incredibly dangerous.

It’s just like TikTok, but if you don’t drink milk in your tea, you will be exposed to corrective content as needed

You call it the External Revenue Service despite the fact that American consumers are obviously going to pay for it?

I think you and the person you’re responding to both have a point. They’re totally passing the buck to their users, but their users will probably be better at putting accurate information than they are. It’s a different set of problems to be sure, but I think it’s a preferable one

I like the idea that Fuentes saw a coincidence, decided to play it up, by cosplaying as a dude with a crossbow who was actually in his neighborhood, standing threateningly on his own porch, to play a victim because he didn’t get to be one in real life.

Even if it didn’t transpire that way, it’s funny how it totally fits.

The report exists, but it has so many errors, misinterpreting its own data to bend to the conclusions its authors decided they wanted to find, lots of cherry picking, and ignoring any fact inconvenient to its conclusions.

Imagine a paper that concludes that dowsing or homeopathy is good science. It’s about that accurate.

More of an inverse causation, but the helpfulness of certain autistic traits in scientific fields does mean that in a sense, autism causes vaccines.

I wouldn’t doubt companies would use it any place it’s not enforceable, and at least attempt to collect.

I’m not sure the nuances of it, other than having talked to a couple of people who were in that situation, talked to an attorney, and ended up paying. I would suspect having a valid reason like sexual harassment wouldn’t affect if it’s enforceable per se, but give you a lot of leverage to convince a company it isn’t worth pressing the issue.

No, they’re actually pretty common in certain industries, and definitely enforceable, at least for sure within the state of California. If you sign a contract that says you get a certain amount of money for starting a job, contingent on working for them a certain length of time, that’s typically paid out on day 1, but you have to pay it back if you leave early.

Form W-4 is the paper you’re supposed to use, they may have a digital version they prefer, but that’s the thing to look for. You can adjust your withholdings that way.

I think a lot of their food items aren’t from China, and a few random things are even domestic. I think they sell Lodge cast iron pans, which are fully made in America.

I think his “plan” is a really big tariff on China and a moderate one on every other country?

Or perhaps fucking st*pid

It looks like they tried to change it in 2017 and the bill got compromised down to some safeguards that don’t amount to much.

I found some articles characterizing ACLU’s position as viewing it as a slippery slope to taking away access to abortion or other reproductive healthcare. I get why that kind of thing is something they’re worried about, but I really don’t see how it applies in this situation.

It’s still causing harm, and I really don’t see who it’s helping. Pair the law with strong protections for reproductive rights for people of all ages, maybe even as a proposition. It’d probably be pretty popular, though I also expected the proposition to ban prison slavery to be popular too.

if Pablo Escobar was still alive, he’d probably have been appointed head of the DEA

I’m excited for the fun gopher hole you’re gonna go down

Alright folks, in 2025 we’re bringing Gopher back

I’ll be honest, I never cared for him, and it was clear to me from the start that his optimized to maximize engagement with his target demographic vs being personally authentic.

He’s revealed himself to be worse than I’d ever expected.

Andrew Conru, founder of AdultFriendFinder, apparently.

Not well known, but good to name and shame anyway.

Or nationalized.

I think he might actually be worse off with a hundred billion pennies for the full billion dollars. Not only would dealing with that many pennies in one place legitimately be challenging, but having that percentage of the total pennies in circulation suddenly removed could be enough to get the US Government to reconsider deprecating them, leaving him with the bag.

I say give him the full billion in pennies.
