So you’re freeloading dumpster food from a corporation. You show them buddy!

Hasn't there been lots of evidence in the past year suggesting that Covid was created in a lab? If we were to go down this path:

1. Covid created in a lab (not proven, but high enough probability to be considered a reasonable option):

2. If Covid was created in a lab, this de-facto means that Covid has potential as a biological weapon. I don't see how this could be framed any other way. Even if researching novel viruses is in good faith, it doesn't eliminate the reality that they will always have inherit value as biological weapons.

3. Can someone explain to me why there isn't an extremely aggressive campaign to pin down: a. Where it came from b. All parties involved in it's funding and creating c. Passing laws and sanctions to eliminate further continuation of said research. If it was done by China, then they should publicly be held accountable and action should be taken until that is done by all countries.

In this line of assuming Covid was created in a lab, it was one of the most devastating events to the human race in recent history. Many people died and many more people will likely suffer from effects of long covid. It completely warped the global economy.

Is there no attempt at pinning this down and holding people accountable because it can't be proven that it was lab created 100%?

There's a million lesser events every single day that seemingly get more time, money, and energy spent on holding people accountable for infinitely smaller mistakes, accidents, and wrong doings.

Agricola is a great solo board game. You can do one offs or there’s a sort of “legacy” type mode.

I feel like all the news stories are ignoring some very blatant questions like this. Maybe they are just waiting for more details to come out?

I like it. I really dislike working with under-performers and people who just refuse to do due diligence on their end. I dislike working with people who always want you to come over to their frame of mind rather than trying to get into yours or meet in the middle. I saw a ton of people coasting during Covid. People need to get negative feedback when they deserve it.

Sure, but what if you have a good personality, fit body, stable career, _and_ good hair. I don’t think it’s particularly shallow to do a hair transplant.

Interesting the Washington Post ran this story considering it’s owned by Jeff Bezos.

I think comparing it to the Bar exam for Law (and other field's equivalents) is a more apt comparison than the SAT.

Like I said, sounds good to a layman in general terms (just how you explained it). But the actual implementation is half-baked, short-sighted, and favors a weak/easy solution rather than something more well thought out and complex.

Sounds like more woke nonsense. Sounds nice and easy to a layman from a super high level but not practical or put through any kind of rigorous rational thought.

Seems pretty straight-forward. Empathy requires energy and if someone is under stress, they generally have less energy to worry about others.
