Words become slurs as soon as assholes start using it in a derogatory fashion. It doesn’t need to make sense, it’s just how it is.

Retard used to be a medical term. Then assholes used it as an insult so it became a slur. Then it needed to change to mentally ill. Now mentally ill is started to go out of fashion.

The n word used to just be a term to refer to black people, then assholes used it as an insult. Then assholes started to just use the word “black” as an insult so we needed to switch to African-american.

Language evolves, and assholes ruin things all the time so we have to continuously evolve and change so we don’t use the same words as assholes.

I don’t have the best sense of smell but I can’t recall my towels ever smelling. I usually wash them every 2-3 weeks or so just because.

California and Alaska, if you can convince Oregon and Washington I will try and get British Columbia to join.

Let’s take over the West Coast and tax the shit out of any imports from China that need to cross over to get to the rest of Canada and the US

Science doesn’t exist in a bubble, politics affects science.

I think it’s more a case of needing to be idiot proof and provide the correct answer every time. Some people using it may have been trained but they also may be absolutely useless at using technology. Google may be simple but it doesn’t give you exactly what you’re looking for and all the relevant information on the first attempt.

If uniforms are absolutely necessary make everyone where the same thing. Pants and shorts for all.

I think the names of those you review papers should be released so you know who to blame when shit like this goes public.

Personally I think it’s all bullshit. We should be able to write off so much shit as regular people but can’t.

Sure, maybe I make $60,000 a year, but I also spend $5000 in gas to commute to work, $4000 a year in car payments for a vehicle that I primarily use to commute to work, $2000 a year in insurance for said vehicle, and maybe $1000 a year for repairs for said vehicle.

Who’s going to let me write off $12,000 a year for the privilege of getting to my job?

If you’re an extremely talented person I would offer you the opportunity to bid on a contract to do a specific job.

If you cared about the country and had a vision you would apply to do it no matter the wage.

You don’t want a politician to be the most talented person. You want a politician to be the person who has the ideas and hires the right people to get the job done.

Jesus. That’s like winning the lottery every damn year. Why should a politician make that much? Let him go into corporate private business if he wants to make more. I guarantee you there will be someone who cares more about your country who is perfectly fine with making 200k-300k per year.

Ya I generally avoid any paper that’s from China unless I really need the information it provides and then I need to go down a super tedious rabbit hole to make sure I can actually trust that it’s true.

Damn. So if this is the only thing you did related to healthcare in the past year it really cost $1850.

I really don’t understand why there is anyone against universal health insurance in the states.

Pretty much everyone is guaranteed to get major hospital bills at some point in their life. They are paying massive fees to insurance companies to line their pockets instead of hospitals to provide better service.

Sure, taxes will go up a bit to cover it, but what you’ll pay in taxes over your lifetime is going to be no where near what you pay in insurance and healthcare procedures.

I pay $0 annually for insurance, and I can walk in to see my doctor at any moment to consult on something for $0, and if something needs to happen I can get blood work and X-rays for $0, then go to the hospital for surgery for $0 (maybe a $5 parking pass).

And how much are you paying for your health insurance?

At this point I’m surprised the entire population hasn’t signed up with Hamas

I call that kidnapping/holding against their will/false imprisonment.

The US needs to put out some “Bait Ships” where they just sail around the seas in the hope that pirates try and take it, but instead of a crew of civilians there’s a military crew just waiting to strike.

They forgot the BLT
