Glad you're learning words

Time and time again this kind of civility check, often arbitrary, reinforces the existing social order and the everyday violence underneath it. But that's okay because if you don't pass the civility check, you are deemed undeserving of humanity.

incarceration rates in the US have been higher than anyone else by a huge margin for decades. it doesn't help anyone. it keeps people, families, communities perpetually in poverty.

I just got this ad when opening a new tab. Wild.

What are you thinking about when you say "nothing effective is allowed"?

It would be funny, but we do have a lot of other data around disease progression that tends to agree.

Countries usually take these loans in times of crisis. Not sure I'd blame them.

Where did you get 30% interest from?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the point you're both trying to make.

My point is the world will develop whether or not that is in the interest of those in power.

I'm just going to assume you're not trying to say the world is evenly developed.

Colonialism still exists in a sense, but explicit force became unnecessary with the creation of the IMF and loan terms that allow for American and European firms to both extract resources and keep all the profits.

It is unavoidable in that we have a world order where 5% of the world population maintains a dominance which can only wither away if the rest of the world is allowed to develop.

And maternal mortality rates.

i thought the parent jumped in with an insinuation that mainstream viewpoints are somehow always objective which would be weird, but i misunderstood

edit: nevermind, i misunderstood!

You really drank that koolaid.

That survey's execution is questionable

section 5 explicitly states

> The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

stepping in to protect on issues of liberty and property is of course under constitutional authority

Just realized, even funnier is that the studies cited on the Wim Hof site are not blinded studies at all, let alone double blind, despite the claims in that tirade.

Downvoters.. reflect on all the quackery in Western medicine for a moment. Writing so many paragraphs about all of the "stupidity in eastern wisdom" without recognizing you can make all of the same statements about Western traditions. Even in modern institutions.

So unnecessary just to say you like verifiable/repeatable studies.

Did an acupuncturist stick a needle too deep?

We really need studies on the 5G small cell radios that are right outside people's apartment windows. Would also like to know if wearing bluetooth headphones all day is a risk.

More broadly, any decentralized system that interacts with the process of capital accumulation will centralize, as this is an emergent feature of capitalism.

There is so much we're still learning about what "healthy" even means, like dairy consumption seemingly being a high risk factor for a number of diseases. Breast cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's, to just name those I'm aware of. Not a doctor.

Do you think everybody's house is on the market?

You think housing went up because of unemployment? Who exactly do you think has been purchasing our limited housing stock?

Have you tried eliminating/restricting oils yet? Or, processed foods generally.

I guess I'm specifically referring more to refined foods, where you often strip away other healthy components of the food. Oil falls under that category, and is always an important component to the highly processed foods you're talking about.
