I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a political bias between people who are and aren't willing to answer phone calls and participate in polls.

Kinda funny to call out a logical fallacy and then immediately commit an ad hominem (whataboutism) fallacy. Your argument does not change the fact that this is happening and that we aren't doing everything we can to prevent it. No one involved in this issue is ignoring that China and India are part of the problem, there's just nothing we can do short of war or economic pressures. War is out of the question because no one would survive to fix the planet anyway, so economic pressure it is, which would once again require us to do something.

The Hippocratic Oath is not a legally binding oath, and many doctors are not required to take this oath or any oath for that matter. Basically, at the end of the day, oaths only matter to the people who have the strength of character to hold to them no matter the cost and most people do not have that strength of character. Oaths mean nothing to those people when it comes down to it, it's just a thing that you said once, nothing more.

I'm not sure where you're getting this idea from but concussions are probably one of the plethora of shitty things that you actually aren't exposed to during training. Concussions and TBI are common because of close contact with explosives in combat zones mostly, not in training.

Of course I'm not defending the military and their practices, I was in the Marine Corps myself, this bit is just not true though.

Why would you ever sign into anything in incognito mode. Doesn't that pretty much defeat the whole purpose?

My blu-ray player has never been connected to the internet and works just fine.

Honestly if every brand would stop making their own shitty launchers and filling their phones with bloatware this would mostly not happen anymore I think. Pure Android on Google Pixel phones is hands down better than every other version.

Updated the human immune system to function as intended. This will fix the following issues:

  1. There was a bug which allowed some microscopic entities to negatively impact the performance of human entities. This should no longer occur.

  2. Another bug that caused the immune system to improperly identify friendly or beneficial items as life threatening has been corrected.

  3. The immune system will no longer fail to recognize some cells that have corrupted genetic code. Should result in the elimination of the unintended cancer debuff that was introduced by the evolution process.

I would expect that the elected representative acted I. The best interests of the majority of their constituents over that of a few. That’s literally what an elected officials job is supposed to be.

From what perspective though? Because you could also look at this as the erosion of the bargaining power of every US worker. From that perspective the majority was absolutely not served.

The entire point of the collective bargaining process is that it's supposed to cause disruption. The scope of the disruption should not matter. If your workers not working would cause the collapse of the economy, they should probably be getting whatever they want. If you ask me, taking someone's ability to determine the value of their work is basically slavery. If they all had decided to just quit their jobs instead of entering the bargaining process in good faith, would you have been in support of forcing those people to work those jobs against their will because of the economic fallout? There is no difference between these two paths in my mind.

If we knew for a fact that the Judeo-Christian god was real, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, etc would still all be religions. Just because the force is real in Star Wars doesn't change the fact that the doctrine around being a Jedi makes it a religion/faith.

It's this kind of post right here why I will never be able to give up this particular type of social media.
