There's endless examples throughout history as well as with specific individuals (Mahatma Ghandi already came up, Mother Theresa would be another such figure, for example, so is the Dalai Lama...) where really good stuff comes at the cost or at least hand in hand with really bad stuff. We...

I totally get it. I've been postponing a follow up diagnostic since November because.... terrified of doing it (not the procedure itself, the possible results .... which I totally get is totally counter-productive ... but anxiety doesn't care for logic)

Honestly....from all you've written, I would just not do the test if it's causing you this much distress. Isolate the entire 14 days and you should be fine. I don't see an additional benefit from doing the test. Peace of mind...maybe....but if it's causing you these kinds of panic attacks, I...

I'm out - not meaning to turn this into a gun debate. Because....not the right thread. And also pointless.

I cited Wiki because it gave the best overview/comparison. I didn't wanna go digging in official statistics for individual countries at 7:30 in the morning before my first coffee... Your posts scream *fingers in ears and lalala*, just to keep trying to push a certain narrative. And no, I never...

Absolutely of course do police officers in other countries have guns and at no point did I say police brutality, including deadly one, doesn't exist in other countries. But no. It's not factually incorrect. Just because an officer does have a gun and could theoretically use it? Doesn't mean he...

In addition to what Sideways wrote, but this vvv Is also important and as you point out, a cultural thing. One I’ll just never understand. Ever. I’ve already seen people advocate for your 2nd amendment here in this very thread ... but if a police officer has to ALWAYS assume the other person...

Just a piece worth reading. I fit the description.... — steve locke

Because this is a narrative I keep seeing and that's also being pushed by the president: No Sign Of Antifa So Far In Justice Department Cases Brought Over Unrest

German on his paternal grandfather's side.

To be fair, I still learn way more on US-interna from my home media than the various US media I follow :cool: And yep, the very blatant racism towards Obama and family from day one made it towards my European country, too. That being said, in all the time living here, I came to realize that...

Congrats, NZ! Coronavirus: New Zealand's last known active COVID-19 case recovers, no new cases for 17 days

Also, this article from a few years ago came back to mind, highlighting - and kind of in line with some of what joylittle has written - why we've seen a surge in open racism in recent years, after the first black president, both towards (brown) immigrants as well as African-Americans. As...

I love seeing all the support from all over the world. Sends an important signal. Around The World: Black Lives Matter | HuffPost

Not a doctor or nurse, but I think when folks develop a fever it's more due to secondary pneumonia than to the initial COVID? I know that when I was down with a high fever in April and I read a lot of first-hand experiences rather than just some guidelines, hardly anyone reported a fever, if at...

Regarding the “few bad apples” Kumail Nanjiani's Tweet Brilliantly Rejects Idea Of Few ‘Bad Apple’ Cops In Buffalo | HuffPost

Woah, that's HUGE! Dead Link Removed

I hope you realize this really is just another flavor of "All lives matter", do you? Are the majority of cops probably ok? Yes, absolutely. I personally know police officers who I'd vouch for. But we're not talking about those at the moment. No need to muddy the waters and distract from the...

Very. much. this! Remember Brock Turner? Who got 6 months for drugging and rape and was free after 3? While I have personal POC friends who have relatives who had to go to prison after a car accident...no drugs, no alcohol, no texting while driving, no expired licenses... Or that homeless mom...

Will look him up, thank you! Intersection of fiction/fantasy and the real world is absolutely perfectly fine, actually, even better than your clichee SciFi or Fantasy story that all follow pretty much the same patterns and have the same standard types of characters. Thank you!! I'm not...

I could really use some suggestions. I'm browsing Amazon and I blank...blank...blank... I don't even know what I'm feeling like reading at the moment. My last reads were A dog's purpose and a mental disorder book. I've been lurking around The Body Keeps Score, but somehow I'm not quite drawn...

This is also happening and I love it!

This hits too close to home

Ask the vet with which insurance they work with - some insurance providers offer to waive the wait period if you sign them up during an examination (where they hopefully don't find anything as that would again be a pre-existing condition)

Who thinks there aren't multiple agendas at play with the riots and the looting, might need to reconsider. There's been multiple reports all over the place of similar observations, by now. Minnesota Officials Link Arrested Looters to 'White Supremacist' Groups
