Would you advocate giving men rights over the unborn child, and if so what rights and how would they be balanced against the rights of the mother to control her body?
In the event that she decides to give it up for adoption, I most certainly would give the father rights, unless there's legal proof of some kind of abuse.
They would if they were competing for the same job, but that's not likely the case. You just need to look back at the last recession when a lot of out of work managers were trying to get accepted into lower paying jobs, and being told they were "over qualified".
Bah, I'd argue that it was unintentional, and it's not "segregation". Yes, the "war on drugs" has been a failure, but I believe it was well intentioned. We all know now that it's caused a ridiculous incarceration rate. But think back a few decades if you can. The vast majority of the population believed that pot was BAD, or that it was a "gateway" drug. Do you believe that we were fed this information in order to incarcerate more of the black population? Certainly, there were plenty of Caucasians doing drugs as well.
It does. I have DNA test results (Medimap...hopefully the price will come down, it was ~$600) showing which meds work best, and which don't, in a sort of stoplight chart, along with verbal descriptions. The results were enlightening, and explained why a couple meds weren't doing much for me.
I was in a trauma unit last spring, and given morphine, even though I wasn't in much pain initially due to severe numbness...it was a prophylactic (no, not that kind). My nose was nearly severed from my face. I was sent home the next day (thanks to a great surgeon) with a script for Percocet, and told not to wait for pain to take it. For me, it didn't end up mattering because the nerves are still damaged, leaving me feeling as though the area was injected with Novocain...all the time.
So, now that you clearly know you're wrong, you just want to move the goalpost. Would you believe the answers of some random person (me) which couldn't be proven here? I'm likely much more familiar than you.
Um, have you ever dealt in government contracting? I have for many years. It's inefficient for many reasons, especially DoD.
Contracting officers change frequently, so they don't often understand the history or previous methodology on long term projects. This causes churn and additional bid work. Frequently military contracting officers are just out of college with little to no experience, and controlling huge budgets. Requirements documents are always lacking. And the number one reason...politics. On any large contract, there is political pressure to go with certain vendors because they happen to be in the districts of representatives, or states of senators who have clout over that agency.
Check yourself. You said NSA and TSA, not ARPA. I know full about it, my uncle was a scientist at BBN back then, and I've been working on computers (in and around the military) since the 70s, so don't try to lecture me about the history of the internet.
"The "chronic pain" they address cannot outweigh the suffering they inflict on communities. "
What an idiotic thing to say. You try to live in constant agony, and say that. My own mother is on these for multiple pain issues...knees, hip, neck, back. Without some kind of serious pain management, a lot of these folks would be suicidal.
"They often have expiration dates slated for 90 days"
A little searching found that hydrocodone... Once they have been removed from the originally factory sealed bottle and exposed to the elements, then the expiration date is one year. If they are still in the original factory sealed bottle, then the expiration date is 3 years from the date of manufacture.
Bunch of sissies. Get on a bicycle, motorcycle, boat, snow or waterskis, snowmobile, jet ski, basketball court, hiking trail, the side of a mountain, swimming pool, ice rink, Buy some suntan lotion, deet bugspray and a hat to address the issues you raised.
It still boggles the mind that someone above claimed VR is better than real life, and got modded +5. If you guys really believe that crap, we're all fucked in the future.
FWIW, I've had fun "beating a boss in WoW", and hunted IRL. The two don't compare.
Agreed.
You don't have to gut the WoW boss and drag his steaming, over-30kg carcass through a half-kilometer or so of meter-deep snow covering partially-wooded, broken terrain in -35C to get it to your vehicle.
Yeah, that's what people will miss. Well, that and adding to the odds you could be shot by a nervous-Nellie rookie cop during a traffic stop on your way there or back because of having the gun(s). The most dangerous thing in the world is a scared person holding a deadly weapon, and the most certain to result in tragedy all around.
Yeah, like all that bullshit actually happens in any but the most rare of hunting trips. Sorry that real life doesn't fit your agenda.
Dealing with yearly bidding on a huge government contract would be very inefficient...as is the government bidding process. Transition between companies is no small deal, and typically can take a couple months on a large contract. Do that every year, and you've lost any cost savings you might gain on a longer contract.
"The most obvious solution to having the best of both worlds is multiple competing government programs who must offer good deals, or get reamed out and restructured by congress.."
How many government people do you know who've been "reamed out", and what were the consequences? I've been working in and around numerous government agencies since the 70s, and it just doesn't happen. "Civil servants" hardly ever get fired. But maybe we could "drain the swamp", and see some improvement there.
Why not treat them as public utilities...I'm thinking of them being like many electric power companies. They don't have to be non-profit, but they are heavily regulated to control their local monopolies.
Having read the summary, I can hardly wait to see where the venom drips the most from our posters here. Will they side with the hated FCC chairman, or the hated President? And, will there be any logic behind their selection other than that they hate one more than the other. Or, could they possibly find some way of just hating them both so much that they can't choose, and move to Canada? Grabbing the popcorn now!
"A cheap bicycle costs $50+ and there's nothing to do at the park except talking to old people and judgmental moms who look at you like you're about to eat their baby."
It's likely because, as you pointed out in an earlier post, been too busy killing bosses in WoW to take a shower, and they don't want you near them.

In 2016. opioid overdoses claimed 64,000 lives.
No, that was the total for all drugs. Opioids did just, but up to 14,550, from 12,727 in 2015.

As do I. I've been on WoW since open beta, but gimme some hunting buddies any day. Looking forward to retirement and a new fishing boat soon too.

Yeah, that's why I got Nishiki 18 speed for $50 from a coworker who was moving overseas. I must be a non-bicyclist.
