The way people online constantly say 'talk to your doctor' like it's a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren't able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy's interpretations...
That’s true, but there’s a wide range of things that can be tried before dipping into harmful territory.
Problem is that most people don't know about how far this range goes.
We should be cultivating an environment of critical thinking.
Indeed we should, but keep in mind that when you among people, half of them has an IQ of <100.
If the reaction is to always immediately defer to experts then you get issues of people taking up healthcare resources for the tiniest issues.
People tend to ask medical questions in places like this usually because googling has not helped so far. I think at this stage the problem is far off the beaten track that random information from random strangers is not going to cut it.
Additionally, if you can’t trust people to have a bit of sense when applying remedies, then what makes you think they’ll choose the correct “experts” to listen to?
I cannot make them listen to voices that tell them "go see a doctor". I can only hope that when they see a wall of similar responses a small spark of common sense makes a difference. A determined idiot can still scroll down past all those messages to find the fellow idiot who recommends dewormer to cure cancer and everything.
That your police system is inept to self-reflect and that there are no real external control factors to curb this kind of behavior is one big chunk of the American police problem.
You will need a change of the whole police system in the US and bring it up to (civilized) world standards. For that, You'll need the right politicians. Voting for better ones on local level could be a start.
Well, if people travel into a foreign country and don't even care about the laws of said country (not in detail, just reading the governmental warnings would have been sufficient), they deserve what happens.
Imagine I would travel to the US and would bring along some Kinder surprise eggs by mistake. Would those governors show mercy to me? I don't think so.
The punishment is first and formost for being terminally stupid. It is high time to stop cuddling the idiots. They broke the law, they should serve. Or do you think that law is just a joke?
Nope. At least not that way. Latest I've read is that the pharao taxed quite heavily, so people had to earn their own food back by working on public projects. Not really voluntary, but not slavery, either.
He probably made the publishers use the text version of the so-called "Wicked Bible" from 1631. He would feel right at home with their version of Exodus 20:14.
Chinese police hunting international corruption targets were allowed into Australia by the federal police and subsequently escorted a woman back to China for trial, in a major breach of Chinese-Australian police protocols....
There must have been some kind of cooperation, Australia has custom offices and border controls at airports and harbours. They won't let her out without looking at her passport, etc.
The emergency generator is just there to power absolute emergency equipment: some lights, radio, onboard communication, stuff like that. Not for powering the whole ship. For that there are the main generators, of which that ship has four, and you need several of them running to actually do something.
The emergency generator is something the size of a trucks' engine. The main generators are more like the size of trucks.
I think the correct headline should be "AT&T got outed on paying bribes to get two major pieces of legislation passed". You can bet they did not only spend bribes on just two pieces of legislation.
At least it was a pond without any connection to other bodies of water. There is a Tom Scott video about a canal in the US that is charged with an electric field that zaps any fish coming through in an attempt to block a certain invasive fish species.

What the heck are they doing wrong? If they sell an EV for 70k and still make a 130k loss on it, what are they doing to make the production cost 200k in the first place?
And on top of it, the commute is costing money, too. Either public transport tickets or fuel and wear an tear on car.
I can so much understand my former coworker. He switched jobs because not only did they pay more, but now he has a five minute commute instead of a one hour one.
The title is not entirely correct. They don't plant to "introduce" conscription. Germany had conscription from its formation of the Bundeswehr in 1955 until it was put on hiatus in 2011 because people back then thought that Ivan was no longer a problem. So what they think about is not "introducing" but just reactivate it.
The changes will be that while before 2011, conscription was only for men, it is planned to be for both sexes, and military service will no longer the one preferred service (back then, you had to go through quite some hoops if you did not want to serve in the Bundeswehr and do your time in e.g. social services). This time, the military option is just one of several that can be chosen.

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....
If your replica the the mistakes of fast food, you won't get far. Have you tried other food options that are not burgers? Because burgers are a perfect example of expensive, but not really good food.
Eggs and milk are still OK, pricewise, even if the prices have gone up. When it comes to meat, chicken is cheaper than beef, so there is no need to rely on beans if you don't like it.
The point is that a burger is basically a very bad food item that happens to be expensive, too. Not the best thing to eat in the first place, and from a fast food place even more so.
It might sound expensive in comparison to prices here in Europe, but on the other hand, American income levels are much higher, too. So adjusting for that, they are way cheaper than in Europe. And we live, too. While paying e.g about 8-9 USD for a gallon of fuel due to carbon taxes.
I have to admit I'm an bit above the median income - but I'm still working my ass of for it. On the other hand I'm the sole provider for the family (my wife is handicapped), and I have two kids in University.
Health insurance is 570€/month IIRC for me, so it is not much different. The employer pays the same amount.
I'm lucky that I don't have to bother with rent, but it was a lot of bloody years without a single bit of luxury to afford that, even here out in the sticks.
People would murder here for such dirt cheap gasoline.
Tax-wise, it is the same here. The rich deduct themselves poor or have any amount of other tricks to avoid taxes, there is nothing to get from the poor, so we in the middle have to provide the mones so the rich can get their subsidies...
I'm lucky that my food budget is a bit higher than that, but even with 200-300 a month I could easily survive with healthy home cooking. I survived on much, much less during my university times.
