Not EXCLUSIVELY… but kinda, but even though I’m only 1 (or maybe 2) out of the 3, and a bunch of programming jokes and jargon go over my head, I really don’t mind. And… if you’re going to start with a particular demographic as a core userbase, man oh man could you do worse these days.

The difference I’ve seen is that people generally seem to be able to call out the crimes or bad behaviour of any of these governments without being called ‘racist to _____ ethnic group’. It has to go both ways, people need to stop blaming the crimes of Israeli governing party on the Jewish people as a whole, AND supporters of the that party’s actions need to stop labelling any criticism of them as antisemitic.

Even though it’s something that’s technically correct on a philosophical level for SOME outlier patients, and in an ideal world and ideal system we could implement it well, I don’t think our system is anywhere close right now. Working in the healthcare system I don’t know anyone who’s eager for this or who knows how we’re going to sort through the massive haystack of innappropriate requests this will trigger, to correctly identify the few " needles" that it’s actually ethical for.

And if you make enough spelling errors, your post essentially encrypts itself! :D

If you’re worried about appearing cheap, to people who visit your house, particularly the type of people that might judge a person for appearing cheap, and the opinion of that type of person matters to you, then yes, buy a headboard. Or, if this is like a survey and you’re asking for everyone’s individual opinion, I personally would not judge you as “cheap” for this, but everyone’s threshold for these things is different.

Well jokes on them, I used it to improve my resilience and adaptability anyway!

Usually when numbers are presented that way it’s because there are many studies they looked at. So I presume there was one study showing a rate of 40%, another showing 70% and the rest of the studies fell somewhere in between those two extremes, with differences likely due to types of games, types of systems, and any number of other factors, including chance. They could have just averaged all the studies and quoted a number like 55% for example, but I think the other way actually paints a better picture of the data. It’s still possible they’re full of shit, but just presenting the numbers like that doesn’t mean they’re pulling it out of their ass.

By refusing to tell the truth to the court, you’re basically refusing to take part in the trial. Which translates to you’re refusing to take part in the justice system, yet also somehow wanting justice … ??

Yep. All the arguments from the time of how the free market will be better, keep aging like milk, as moves like this progressively whittle down any semblance of competition.

Looks like an N value of 1 though. Hopefully results are replicable. I’ll wait for the meta-analysis.
