A legal transcriptionist requires different training then a Medical Transcriptionist.
And sometimes even that training falls short. Does anyone remember the explosion at WIPP when the tech transcribed "an organic kitty litter" instead of "inorganic kitty litter"? Kitty litter explosion.
...it sounds like you're the type of person that can believe a rape victim was "asking for it."
That accused rapist had a permit for his gun. The so-called "victim" had no permit and only the flimsy excuse of being unarmed. Nobody wants to talk about it, but the accused had a full time job and paid taxes. If you ignore the occasional rape, he had some terrific qualities. He spends nearly all of his time not raping people. Fine people on both sides.
So a hundred and fifty years down the line we can see a full lunar community of a billion people.
We still have a LOT of uninhabited land here on this rock. A lot of it's not real attractive, but it's more hospitable than the moon. I've heard the moon can be a pretty harsh mistress. There are some interesting things about the moon, but we're a long, LONG way off before it's an attractive population center. We've gotten spoiled splashing around in all this water and air.
You could could pay people to walk down the street carrying anything you want shouting 'Heil Musk', that will not make Musk a Nazi sympathizer.
It would if he came out and defended them. People who sympathize with nazis are known as nazi sympathizers. "A lot of fine people" with a permit my ass. The idea that those protesters were somehow paid by the left is too stupid to address.
...that can't be good for you. I can't really talk, I have 4-5 cups of coffee a day..
I drink 4-5 cups of coffee/caffeinated tea on weekdays, but I wouldn't remotely compare that to drinking 2-3 Rockstars a day as far as health goes. To hell with the caffeine, that's a shit-load of sugar which I consider a much bigger deal. Black coffee's almost like caffeinated water compared to an energy drink or a soda.
You're either standing against the mouth breathers waving Nazi flags and chanting "blood and soil," or you are WITH them.
Many sides... Lotta blame on many sides... Many fine people on all sides...
Nazi rally, nazi murderer, anti-nazi protesters, anti-nazi victims. Really, how much bravery does it take to pick the side opposing nazis? Declaring "nazis==bad" and "murderer==at fault" isn't exactly revolutionary. I don't care if the protesters were carrying clubs; surely DJT isn't suggesting this was self-defense... Even deriding the protesters as "alt-left" is upsetting. Opposing nazis doesn't make you "alt-anything". It makes you a decent human being.
Also most ex users are STILL cigarette smokers, and they prefer to enjoy their cigarettes with coffee...
Yes, people with addictive personalities are attracted to addictive substances. OP never said coffee leads to addiction - He said that people who are looking to alter their state of mind will do it with what's available. When they cut off one addiction (e.g. alcohol), the others don't vanish with it.
Leaving out your point about Starbuck's wasn't meant to be disingenuous. You seemed to be hopelessly confused while trying to conceive a point there, so it was omitted as nonsense.
If one goes to any 12 Step Meetings then they will discover that there is coffee...
Doesn't that support GP's assertion that people who are seeking an altered mental state will demonstrate that behavior with caffeine as easily as they do with other drugs? Smoking used to be huge at 12 step meetings too. An alcoholic's addictive behavior isn't necessarily limited to alcohol.
All of this seems to imply to me that people who like using stimulants continue to like using stimulants.
Balloons encounter difficulty when they run out of atmosphere. Flying contraptions that don't have this difficulty have other complications that make them considerably harder to come by than balloons.
They aren't sites per say but factual and deliberately misrepresented news would include the Daily Show and The John Oliver show.
Just because The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight do a reasonable job of fact checking does not make them "news" any more than The Tonight Show. They're entertainment that happens to contain facts. They're closer to being satire than they are "misrepresented news". The Daily Show actually describes itself as "The Real Fake News". Anyone who uses these shows as "news sources" is ignorant of the news. That's not what Comedy Central or HBO are for.
You can't argue with 900 people who've been diagnosed with cancer. Really, you can't. Even though they're dead wrong, there's no arguing with them. It's too emotional and they're desperate for someone to blame. Comparing it to vaccinations and autism is pretty apt.
...their most productive worker, one who can finish his work load far faster than the other workers and thus had lots of spare time...
At your job, finishing early means you get "lots of spare time"? At my job, it would mean an increased work-load. If that wasn't available, it might mean reduced hours. I take breaks throughout the day and do things like check the news or post to slashdot (posting to slashdot is probably pushing things). But my boss would be unhappy if I had "lots of spare time," even if I showed good results.
I can't say I abandoned Twitter because I never adopted it. For me it's sole purpose is to provide me raw, unbiased, unfiltered communications from my President. I see no other interesting use. I don't hold it against people who do; I just don't get it. I've never paid any attention to the ads, but now that I'm realizing that they're probably targeted for a person who has never tweeted and only follows the President, I'm curious to take a look. If they're targeted in any way towards me, I'll be concerned.
Again, you can tune what you see. When I use Twitter, I see none of these comments. Apparently they interest you. DJT inspires trolls - You're surprised? It's not a reflection on all things left any more than racists trolling minorities reflect all things right. It's a reflection on people who bother to comment on DJT's tweets, nothing more. You're using Twitter wrong. I see DJT tweets and ads. Nothing more. If you go hunting for garbage, it's not hard to find in any medium.
I've quit using Twitter. It stopped providing me with useful content, so I stopped using it. I regret having to do this, as the tweets I was getting from so-called "right wing" Twitterers were typically quite reasonable. It was all of the increasingly nonsensical, negative, and detached-from-reality tweets from leftists that ruined the Twitter experience for me.
You know you can tune what you see, right? If you follow loonies, you see loony tweets. I follow 2 accounts, both DJT. These often do not qualify as "quite reasonable right wing" tweets. In fact, they're often loony. I still follow them because they sometimes become national policy. The quality of the posts you were seeing almost certainly trends with the individuals you picked to follow regardless of their political inclinations.
Or, maybe the only "reasonable" tweets were the ones you agreed with. In which case, political persuasion means everything.

He's an awful human being, a racist and a bigot, but not an actual Nazi. Just a friend to Nazis, an admirer of them.
The term I use is "Nazi sympathizer". It can certainly be applied to Bannon and, based on recent comments, could arguably be applied to DJT.
"One side had a permit" and "many fine people" sound like more of a defense than anyone marching alongside swastikas deserves.

OK, humoring you for a moment... name ONE credible conservative fact-checking site. Seriously. Just one.
Does Just Facts count? They're a little different than the sites listed in TFS, but they're conservative and typically accurate.

No question was begged.
When I see somebody use the phrase, "begs the question," I mentally substitute "begets the question." It settles my inner pedant.
Supporters say they could stop accidental shootings or misfires.
It sounds like they still will.

Not all jobs are the same.
I don't have a problem with marijuana but I do recognize that it is a drug and people act irrationally on drugs.
So are the psycho-actives my shrink insists on. I'm literally never off them. I act irrationally off drugs.
Driving while stoned isn't a good idea.
Didn't mean to say that it was. But I'm more comfortable with a habitual THC user on a "two-drink" equivalent than a driver blowing a 0.07 BAC.
I can't say I abandoned Twitter because I never adopted it. For me it's sole purpose is to provide me raw, unbiased, unfiltered communications from my President. I see no other interesting use. I don't hold it against people who do; I just don't get it.

You have an amazingly skewed view on marijuana. It's not like the guy was drinking.

Nature. If you can't hunt and gather enough food for your family, you all starve and die.
Is it a safe guess that you bigly object to universal health care?
It really has nothing to do with any construct of civilization.
Some people would say that one sign of civilization is not letting the weak starve and die.
...a large fraction of American women are: it doesn't matter how much money you make, they'll find stuff to spend it all on until you're bankrupt.
A large fraction of American men spend beyond their means too. I think it's tied more to the nation's culture than the gender.
