I went with https://www.nutrisense.io/

Was a fairly hassle free process. I never spoke to a doctor and use the device for the reasons you said. Just interested in the data.

Irregardless of your wishes, language evolves. Parts of the US use "on".

It's a mantra that the military use. Train, train, train and fail in training because you can't fail in the real fight. If you read "can't fail" as "can't afford to fail" rather than "failure is an impossibility" you'll get the intent.

What is a Social Economic Justice Round?

Comment · 8 years ago
Roughly zero. It should launch in the first half of 2018 but it won't launch on Feb 6th.

The point might have been that with access to emojis (on other platforms) youngsters no longer use the oldschool emojis. Use of oldschool emojis strongly suggests oldschool poster :)

It would be cool to have that visually presented for controversial topics. Your observation never occurred to me before, good stuff :)

Based on your comments, I've realized that I do the thing you're talking about. I'm going to change my behaviour as a result. Thanks for posting this.

How did you get into it? I think something like that would be my dream job. Yeah, I'm not normal :)

> Holocaust denial is a pro-genocide ideology

Can you make this case more clearly? I get that it's anti-semitic (the lying point) but not how it's pro-genocide.

No. You only know whether you have it correct or incorrect.

I had to read this a few times, but I think I get it now. The original manifesto author means that the "bar is lowered" for diverse candidates because they're scrutinized more carefully and fewer qualified candidates are eliminated? If you're good enough and diverse, you're more likely to be hired than if you're good enough and ... whatever the word for not-diverse is? The original author is not claiming that more unqualified diverse candidates are hired, just that it's easier to get hired if you're qualified and diverse?

If I've understood that correctly I really appreciate your effort in explaining it. Your comment should be higher so more people could see it :)

Also, if I understand you correctly, the phrase "lower the bar" might have gotten him fired for something he wasn't intending to say.
