If I'm reading this right, there wasn't an analogue to Nuremberg or the Argentinian exodus? (Or, as I think about it, the anti-nazi-symbols laws?)

I hear this often, but I'm not really sure how to confidently square that assertion against Versailles, Morgenthau's memorandum and JCS 1067. I'm not saying it's wrong... only that if there is one thing history ISN'T lacking, it's conflict. I wish people would be specific and use historical templates, at least as a starting frame of reference. Some conflicts become cyclical, as every resolution merely sets the stage for the next. Some brutal conflicts are one-and-done.

What other historical resolutions does the end of the civil war most resemble? Which other historical resolutions are most similar to what people feel should have been applied to the south?

I've always thought that I'd make an exceptional professional in the field of medicine.

The only thing really holding me back is my unfathomable depth of ignorance regarding the human body, or health in general.

At one point in my life, I believed that to be a deal breaker. Cheers, RFK Jr.

I mean, yes...

But at 1/30,000 , they should say "get the second test... but be SUPER CAREFUL on the drive", since at 1/30000 you're still an order of magnitude more likely to die in an MVA.

Everyone was the "same" r/all before. They're talking about "personal interests".

They're about to go full Tik Tok and show content as a function of your prior engagement.

I'd even be interested in a parent of a 5 year old who's been at daycare for 4 years.

It's my suspicion that a second, later-in-life battering of a person with respiratory illnesses is in some part responsible for the longer average lifespan of parents. I expect the effect would be more pronounced if somehow parenting didn't come with all the anxiety and stress, which I expect is a negative pressure on average lifespan.

The pictures you got for your story are a result of plagiarism.

I'm not actually making a value judgement. If they make you happy, that's great and im happy for you.

Kinda like how diamond engagement rings make people happy. You gotta accept how that sausage was made

Love is a verb.

I live in Canada, so things get a lot less complicated around medical bills, specifically.

Where things get really dicey, money-wise is around if you can't work due to injury.

I think the minimum personal liability you have to carry is a million, but it's pretty common to have 2 million.

Even at that, IMO it's still not really enough. If you mashed someone up so bad they can't work anymore, even a full unadulterated 2 million isn't going to square a lifetime of lost income.

I'm not coming out here to say Insurance is great. Just that if we're going to talk about the issues. I just think we owe it to ourselves to understand it well enough to have clear critism based on reality. I was concerned that some of the previous posts weren't communicating reality clearly (possibly more to do with my own reading as opposed to thier writing).

Considering how trivial it is to build, and the plethora of working examples on github, I expect anyone is one chatgpt prompt away from running afoul of this.

 
 

Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
