Skin cancer is easily treated with excisions if it’s caught early. Better to have ten small false positives than a single miss.

How long did you try them? Some people have immediate changes, some people just notice their lives are easier and going more smoothly after a while of consistently taking them.

How are you determining this scale?

Alcohol has greater negative side effects than pot, and nicotine is more addictive than cocaine or pot. I’m not sure what you mean by “exotic modern stuff,” but if it includes hallucinogens (what people usually mean by modern/exotic drugs) then they’re not really addictive at all.

I ask because the scale reads more like a morality scale than anything based on actual negative effects, either in the individual or society.

If your society can’t survive without a permanent second class of citizens maybe it deserves to be destroyed

… IF they die?

I got a recruiting email recently for a job that had 5 days onsite, but SATURDAY was work from home, listed like it was a perk.

It’s wild out there.

Don’t get me wrong, $200k is a lot of money, but it’s not a top end tech salary in SF.

I’ve gotten visibly sunburned on cloudy/foggy days, where it was completely overcast. You may have gotten lucky.

When I got chickenpox in the 80s my grandma made me sit out in the sun to heal it faster. Heliotherapy lives on!

Good, I want them to have pressure to not get sued, so their premiums stay low. If we as a society decide this kind of policing is too expensive, then we can invest that money in other models.

I know what qualified immunity is, and I think it’s a problem. Police don’t get any consequences for their bad actions, so they have no incentive to change. Their toxic culture and strong unions work directly against the safety to all of us that they’re allegedly supposed to provide. The legal system has proven itself incapable of policing itself, so let capitalism have a try.

The insurance I’m talking about is like malpractice insurance doctors are forced to carry, not health insurance. Individual police and departments pay for it, and insurance pays out (instead of the city) when the cops get sued.

Yeah I like that plan better, but it’s just not happening. Tax payers end up paying the lawsuits, and the cops get released once the attention dies down.

There needs to be insurance for police, just like there is for doctors. Once an individual cop has repeated judgements against them they won’t be insurable, instead of the current result of them moving to a different city.

> which instructed the entire national security apparatus to focus on incredibly broad threats, including "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity;…extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."

What a wildly broad list, that doesn’t seem to have clear connection to those that actually take part in terrorist attacks.
