Dictionary definitions are nice but rarely capture the full meaning of the word. Connotations of the word are pretty important.
If I say “I tolerate that behavior,” you can probably infer that I don’t like that behavior based on the connotations of the word tolerate. It invokes a negativity toward the subject.
Similarly for consent. The examples bear this out: medical treatments, business trips, and short notice are generally not pleasant things.
It doesn’t automatically save anyone. The CEO isn’t personally murdering anyone. Their policies don’t go away. The health care industry isn’t magically made better by one CEOs death. It leads to a slight chance of health care reform as the comic states. But we actually have to do more to get that outcome.
Placebos are so effective, we’ve just started selling them explicitly (Zeebo). If it’s cheap and doesn’t have any negative effects, I don’t care if it’s a placebo or more; it works.
Bet they made the processor you used to write that comment.
You really have no people you like but don’t want to have sex with? No one who’s like 8 or 80?
I believe they’re referencing Dr. George Tiller.
The context is just her life. That she’s attempting to apply to everyone always. The problem is not the question like she seems to assume. And her solution to ask “Where do you consider home?” is awkward and doesn’t really help.
To note, the problem is the underlying assertion that they have to be from somewhere foreign when other people in the same area won’t have that assumption applied to them. So the context the question is asked in matters a lot and her blanket statement completely takes that context out of it.
Oh. You just don’t understand America. Yeah, no, the pharmacy is a 10 minute drive from the doctor’s office. And that seems decently close.
Unless your doctor is in a hospital type setting; then there’s probably a pharmacy on site.
I love the drive through when my sick toddler has fallen asleep in the car on the way from the doctor’s to the pharmacy.
No. He was the kind of evil that legally harmed and killed millions. A That you see that as innocent shows a complete disregard for humanity.
It’s sick you think he was innocent.
They always ask you to remove it, even if the check is just against your ID and not the automated facial recognition.
Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine
Because we don’t enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It’s people who don’t want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don’t want to but still get it done, even if it’s not as good. Using tools like this is very human.
Nah man. I hate standard time. Prefer it to still be dark at 7 am to dark at 4 pm.
The swerving at them was when coming back off the curb into the road, I think. If there was a curb between them, there’s no way the cyclist was preventing him from passing.
Edit: crappy drawing
Or the result of cost cutting…
Headline writers are the worst. The actual article isn’t too bad. It acknowledges pay is important and it needs to be a liveable salary.
These very feelings allow companies to stand out, even if they can’t outpay all of their competitors. Of course, livable wages are critical for all individuals, but once reasonable compensation is established, emotional salary can outweigh base salary when it comes to engaging and retaining top talent. When paired with fair pay, a strong emotional salary can lead to higher job satisfaction, catalyzing a more committed employee base.
Which is kind of like a duh. If you hate your boss, think your company is ruining the world and the hours suck, then they’d have to pay a lot to retain you if you can get a job somewhere else. Whereas if you’re besties with your coworkers, your boss regularly shows his appreciation for you, and your company is alright, and you aren’t hurting for money then you’re less likely to even be looking at what other companies are offering.
The first question is the problem. If the aliens have an analog rule (“Do they possess our intelligence or greater?”) then it only works if humans and them are roughly the same intelligence.
America still has the draft and requires every male citizen 18 years or older to sign up for it. This amendment would change the requirement from every male citizen 18 years or older to every citizen who voted to go to war.
You can’t see something small right behind you with that.
