A sibling post mentioned Beanie Babies and Magic cards. The volatility there is in extremely powerful old cards printed in very small quantities (at least tiny amounts compared to the current playerbase) WotC won't reprint those because of a promise not to after an old wave of reprints crashed prices but this causes its own problems. The last several years of new cards hasn't been so crazy. Playing the game isn't exactly intrinsic value but it's more than crypto or Beanie Babies have
Likewise, BitTorrent is cool for downloads not requiring a central server, doing large downloads in pieces, etc - but catches hell for association with copyright infringement

Subsidies driving up costs overall, see also skyrocketing college tuition with student loans
The medicaid expansion*, raising the age to 26 for family plans, and requirements for what's covered**, generally make sense. *Making states pick up some of the tab, which turned out to be a legal excuse for them to reject it, didn't work out ** the contraceptive mandate I don't disagree with but it might be too much of a political football in practice
It's a messy compromise between single payer and market healthcare
I wouldn't vote for her, however, that is a common irony with lobbyists - people knowledgeable about an industry often got that experience by working the business side of it.
I've generally heard of impostor syndrome as a feminist complaint - talented women underestimating themselves for whatever reason, not being confident enough to be aggressive enough to succeed, leading to a negative feedback loop. it being a general problem is new information from this thread. The video focuses on it being general while touching on it being more common amongst women and minorities. Everybody thinking they're doing worse than their peers, mentioned in the clip, reminds me of the "your whole life compared to their highlight reel" issue with social media
I'm used to the layout of the full website, scrolling and zooming is less difficult than finding where the mobile version put something if it had it at all. Similarly, opening a site in a browser whether desktop or mobile version is for the most part easier than using the site's app.
Also Trump's infrastructure plan has included subsidies for private projects which sounds like a handout to big business for something they might do anyway
I agree voter ID sounds sensible in theory, but it's disenfranchisement in practice. it would be a pain in the butt for poor people to get the paperwork especially if they don't have a car. Fees to get forms could be a de facto poll tax, banned by the 24th amendment (some voter ID laws do include exemptions to govt records office fees). A Texas voter ID law counted concealed carry permits but not college IDs, that sort of thing highlights the conservative bias of such laws. In New York state you're just ID'ed when registering and sign in at the polling place which can be checked against the signature from the registration form. Prosecuted cases of vote fraud are rare so it's a "solution" in search of a problem.
"Gentrification" often seems like an insult for progress. Sucks for the people already there but good overall. I'm tempted to say the same thing about the Indian Wars...now I'll discuss something less controversial, like Israel's security policy.
This appears to make sense both by itself and given Tim Cook's previous work with Apple's supply chain - like buying up inventory of many smartphone/tablet components. It could be an opportunity to address pollution and other issue with cobalt mining.
too many cases exist where a "licensed electrician" is required to do something when it shouldn't be required (e.g. those stories of people needing an electrical ticket just to plug something into a power point in a conference hall).
I've heard stuff like that cited as an absurd union contract clause, rather than a general legal requirement.
Besides working with strong chemicals, hairstylists and similar trades would need proper sanitation and often business skills, so it's not just aesthetics, but the length of schooling required still seems absurd.
I'm reminded of the word "née", usually used for a married woman's maiden name, but also uses for other previous names, whether or not the name change was transgender-related. Catelyn Stark née Tully, Bob Dylan née Robert Zimmerman, Chelsea Manning née Bradley Manning all seem like accurate uses of the word.
Neurodiversity means various mental conditions, including autism (but not limited to it like the AC who replied to steelwraith said). The SJWs who came up with TFA don't consider transgenderism a mental illness, but I see where you got that from. Even if it is, it can't be cured, so maybe going along with them to some extent is a good treatment
Even not objecting to transgender rights in general, I admit male to female athletes in women's sports is a practical problem.
The SJW crowd often seems to go easy on offensive behavior by minorities, including feminists with sexist behavior in other countries/cultures. I'm not saying everything's perfect here, but it does seem worse there. (SJW's often don't seem to get degrees of bad) Maybe there are practical limitations in taking effective action, like well meaning bumbling
Yes, 'illegal immigrant' is simply accurate. I can see how just 'illegal' comes off as denying their right to exist, but the law is just not letting them exist here.
'Undocumented' isn't inaccurate per se but does cast them in a favorable light, similar for offering Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors.
The eggplant emoji is often used to mean penis because of the similar shape, and that association was more likely the problem. Maybe there was crude context, but I wouldn't be surprised if SJW's overreacted in the lack of such context.
I'd try to be welcoming; hopefully there wouldn't be cause for fear - whether from the aliens themselves or from humans making a wrong impression on them
Bicycle rider here, same thing happens if I do something to pass the time at a crosswalk - then the light actually changes right away, but if ready to cross ASAP I'm just staring at the light.

They should've known they'd catch hell for this so why do it only to have to walk it back?
The main character in The Firm redirects $10M of Mafia money at the end because he's already on their hitlist anyway

I said that people with experience often got it as industry insiders, not necessarily.
