My $5+ gas begs to differ.

It seems like it would improve odds for lesbians.

What do you consider life that wants to continue its existence, but does not decide? Are plants or viruses sentient?

Don't actually do this.

Can you expand on what you mean by western chauvinism? My time in eastern Asia has taught me that many of them see members of others Asian (and non-Asian) races/countries as inherently inferior.

The great thing is that we can all blame our own political bogeyman (ACA) for healthcare costs for expensive medical equipment bought to avoid lawsuits, and not say, the enforcement of HIPAA on electronical data 17 years ago. The answer will surely lie in first blaming a political enemy, then vaguely hinting at something relevant (litigation).

Is a child who cannot verbalize why they are ignoring a question considered non-sentient in your eyes? What about an adult that is a dumb mute and communicates via agitated screams? How about those barely clinging onto life support, whose brain activity can be meausred but for all intents and purposes never really have a chance of communicating other than faint electronic signals requiring expensive tools just to perceive? Still sentient?

Raise a human in a machine-like environment (no contact with humanity, no comforting sounds, essentially remove all humanity) and you may find people to act very robotic, without regard for its own existence in a sense.

If that is the logic you are going to go by, you need to consider a large portion of humanity non-sentient, because people can very often just decide to ignore questions.

Which is strange because I have always called it a flash drive and have never heard it referred to as a USB flash drive
housedrafta | 3 years ago | on: After Covid: Unhappiness Is Worse Among Single and Non-Religious Americans
It's not that much worse among any group in particular. But why would the author go out of their way to point out single and non-religious Americans?
Then you look at the footer and remember that the Institute for Family Studies is pretty right wing.
housedrafta | 3 years ago | on: Americans Who Can’t Afford Homes Are Moving to Europe Instead
The European countries with good healthcare and education actually have their governments play a central role. How do you think Germans afford university? It's the type of government involvement you take issue with.

Not only keep the peace, but you probably already understand that West Portal residents likely do not care about wealth inequality, or care about it in the opposite way that you seen to. I mean you don't wind up there by accident.

Dollars per LoC? Real engineers measure their work in dollars per byte.
housedrafta | 3 years ago | on: Tell HN: Salesforce has globally revoked Slack's holiday shutdown benefit
Doing the opposite works too. If there are people in your org you don't like, insinuate that you make a lot.
Of course doing such a thing is incredibly petty and should only be reserved for special cases, as it were.
