All you need to exercise is the willingness to actually go do it. You don't even need "equipment". That's just another excuse. All you really need is to just go outside and walk.
Depending on your age and history regarding exercise, that may actually be what your local sports medicine expert recommends.
People don't generally find themselves in depressing circumstances. A news media that itself feeds on money needs to promote the idea of misery in order to generate ad revenue.
People will quickly screech about profit driven drug development and never consider the problem of profit driven journalism.
Laying off the media narrative might help as much as the mind altering drugs.
I wonder how many of these people whining work for free themselves.
The evil guy in "Big Pharma" who saved my life can buy all the yachts he wants. My particular overpriced wonder drug is not without it's drawbacks and limitations but it is most certainly preferable to the alternative.
People have no fucking perspective.
They will see the whole world burn and people die just so they can avoid personal responsibility.
> Is there a strain of the flu going around that reduces emotional maturity to that of an 8-year-old?
Perhaps you thought blind faith in science wouldn't lead to something like this? You're probably part of the cabal that thinks we can treat the guys in white lab coats the same as people that wear the same color robes in the clergy.
Why is this unlike having blind trust in the pro-corporate GMO narrative or the global warming narrative?
> Sasha you've been posting this on the internet for a year now. So I'm sure you're well informed that most americans don't like either candidate and more people did vote for hillary than for trump. > > I can already hear..but but but electoral college!!!
It's funny that in a thread about GAMES, we have idiots that refuse to acknowledge the ground rules. You would think that the "most qualified candidate" ever would have a grasp on basic civics.
This is all anyone needs to see to know that you are a MORON. You are a reflection of current liberals who have contempt for the idea of personal responsibility. The entire Russian collusion narrative is an attempt to deflect blame for a spectacular failure.
It's not the 80s any more. The Soviet Union is dead. Russia is no longer communist. World wide communist revolution is dead except in the mind of modern liberals (who are the reds now).
> you are wrong. There are specific rules for mass of cargo ships
The scenario reminded me of a kid on a tractor. It was a tiny number of animals. It was the amount you would normally associate with a sub-urban agricultural tax exemption. So it wouldn't require any sort of formal licensing really.
It sounds like the contents of a small barge or large canoe floating down the Mekong.
What's the Chinese translation for Tom or Huckleberry?
Being an innumerate git leads you open to being mislead by people that want to do you harm. It's not so much about being a human adding machine as it is having an intuitive grasp of numbers and mathematical concepts.
Also, simple calculations can be done in your head quicker than you can find your machine to use as a crutch.
Plus you should always be able to judge the accuracy of your machines. You should be able to recognize a really wrong answer.
> social impact of science and engineering in America is decreasing.
As a beneficiary of this, I think you're just full of shit. I think you're just peddling an anti-America narrative that's part of a broader agenda to expand the role of government.
> Most of the universe is unknown, I bet you do not even know your complete family tree of ten generations, or the names of your ancestors four generations back.
This is very knowable. The difference between modern people and savages is that we understand that unknown things can be understood with sufficient effort.
You don't have to be lazy and attribute things to the gods.
He's not stupid. He's genius. He's pointing out the clear double standard here. Under the intersectionality regime, EVERYONE can be a victim except "the man". Although it doesn't matter if "the man" is also as much a part of the underclass as anyone else.
The whole thing about "progress" is that you can live long enough to see standards and expectations change.
That means potentially harsh judgements for even the previous generation of people.
That doesn't mean you try to erase anyone from the last generation or older. You just need to get your panties untwisted and come to grips with the full implication that things have changed.
You simply can't handle the reality of the situation. You need a safe space.
> See subject: Your MASSIVE FAIL in this life is you're nothing more than a chattering little do-nothing "ne'er-do-well" online & you know it...
I have credits on several PC games and I think this nonsense is bullshit. The guy wasn't perfect but that doesn't erase his legacy. Political correctness has put us into 1984 territory where the Ministry of Truth is here to sanitize and erase the past.
We clearly seem to do something like that (Make America Great) because there is a certain contingent that can do nothing but denigrate the US. So clearly there is a problem. If Trump wants to be the man to address it than that's better than the total helpless despair that the other side wants to peddle.
Even liberals get tired of liberal nonsense.
BTW, we outsourced our "leadership" to China a long time ago. That chicken is going to come home to root sooner or later. It's inevitable (same goes for India).
> Yea let's instead prop up a dying industry thats also trying to take the planet down with it.
I remember when this kind of "pie in the sky" stuff also included useful non-polluting things to do with COAL. So I am kind of baffled at all of the blind hatred for coal around here. This group should be better informed than that.
So expecting a trolling jackass to support their argument counts as "atrocious education" now? Expecting the person that makes a claim to support it is a very basic principle of rhetoric. Or were you ditching class that day?
It's interesting how much a mere 12 months makes. Who knew that the world could change so much so fast?
> Why should Google be forced to host speech from Infowars in the form of advertisements, regardless of how anyone at Google personally feels about that site?
Then examples should be pretty easy to cite. Otherwise I call bullshit. Musk seems to be this community's anointed savior when it comes to future-tech. Now you're giving all the credit to the government.
This isn't a "PR war". It's a disclosure. It's cluing the rubes into what the implications of all of this are. A lot of them don't get it. They aren't informed enough to consent to the anal cavity search you seem so fond of.
It doesn't even matter if the interviews are real or not.
People don't realize that they have to consider this in terms of the worst case scenario. That's the problem with ALL of this. This is why device manufacturers have started to lock down their devices more.
They left things open and governments decided to abuse the situation in the worst ways possible.
If you don't think that corporations aren't doing the same, you're a child.
It's funny how people excuse corporations they would normally eviscerate.
The fact that you dislike the messenger is really quite irrelevant. That doesn't alter the implications of any of this.
> well show me and example of this so called great "small government" you crave.
Health insurance before Obamacare. My state handled it well on it's own. I could buy insurance on my own independent of my employer. The private option was actually better and cheaper than what any employer offered.
Now the private market has been destroyed. Prices tripled. The best class of plans is no longer available. If I were in the private market, a lot of doctors would be out of network for me. I would be locked out of the single best facility available to treat my condition.
After 10 years of having the same very good insurance company, I now have to switch policies annually at the whim of my employer. They do this in the middle of the year to screw me out of my deductible (companies get around the new ACA rules meant to stop this).
Every time I have to deal with the crap from a crappy insurance company I would never have chosen to use, I want to kick Obama in the balls and I get a renewed appreciation for federalism.
I don't mind that my city has a free hospital. I don't mind that we pay for it directly. That is far more sensible than sending our money to DC and then having our local hospital mired in federal nonsense.
You're trying to conflate more localized governance with Somalia. That's the kind of dishonest nonsense that poisons useful public policy debate.
We just don't want idiots that can't manage their own states spreading their incompetence around any further.

Brave? I simply "didn't bother" for the first 6 months.

That's an an interesting twist/spin on representation that doesn't make it trivial for New York and LA to bend over the rest of the country.
Are you equally butt hurt about Congress? It's set up the same way.
If you think that 13 trolls are more dangerous than Koch and Bloomberg, you really aren't thinking this shit through.

Why actively avoid being a well rounded person.
Your attitude seems like the perfect argument to be good at BOTH so that you can be king of the world.
Being an innumerate git leads you open to being mislead by people that want to do you harm. It's not so much about being a human adding machine as it is having an intuitive grasp of numbers and mathematical concepts.

It's an assinine comparison.
It doesn't cost a teacher anything to give partial credit.
If you aren't paying your land lord, then you're getting something for free and the land lord is paying for it. He might not have it to give.
Your teacher doesn't have to worry about his own house getting foreclosed on. He can give you "free grades" all day long without consequences.

Some of us understand the implications of a sample size of BILLIONS. Perhaps Poe didn't.

So you're saying that there are "no right answers" in science then? That should be fun for the next time someone brings up "climate change".
He's not stupid. He's genius. He's pointing out the clear double standard here. Under the intersectionality regime, EVERYONE can be a victim except "the man". Although it doesn't matter if "the man" is also as much a part of the underclass as anyone else.
