I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'

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...

A therapist might be able to help you with your anxiety. You should consider making an appointment to talk to one.

How and when one makes the sign of the cross is not universal across denominations. That said, bobo’s a clown.

Sea otters can dive down to 600 feet, at that depth the pressure is about 265 psi. So the answer is yes, Steve can perform under pressure.

Not just any old rock, sea otters often have favorite rocks they keep in a fold of skin in their armpit.

Even if scripted, roller derby in the 70’s took athleticisms and power. I agree the sport of roller derby is different now, but practitioners of the past deserve respect. The level of training/conditioning in all sports is very different now, does not mean past practitioners were not athletes. Comparisons across eras is difficult because standards change.

Yacht is a boat, sail or power, that has a cabin for sleeping. Large size is not a prerequisite. Some boats as small as 17 ft meet this definition.

Maybe I’m gatekeeping, but isn’t a fence door a gate?

Ever hear of Eugene V. Debs?

Had run already run for office 4 times prior, once earning 6% of vote so it is disingenuous to say he decided to run when already in prison. Yes he had no real chance of winning, but as a labor leader of international national prominence, he was a serious candidate for the office. Yes not exactly the same but there is precedence.

Go to Yosemite and attempt to climb something sick like Wyoming Sheep Ranch or Sea of Dreams.

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...

I wonder what Kaitlin Bennett’s perspective is on all this.

I guess Kaitlin is not Depenable, needs to be Pampered.

According to the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources department:

“Ground squirrels are associated with the spread of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rat bite fever, tularemia, Chagas’ disease, adiospiromycosis, and encephalomyocarditis. Notably, they can serve as reservoirs for sylvatic (bubonic) plague, a highly infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis…People and their pets can get plague if they visit or live in areas where ground squirrels or other rodents are infected.”

No I do not think it’s fine. I did read what you said, but from your reply it’s obvious you didn’t read what I said.

I said if “apply evenly to all sources, investment sales taxed at same rate as wages” From your reply “billionaire takes money from capital gains (lower taxes)”. That’s not the same rate is it.

I said "No deductions."From your reply “so its use can be written off partially” That’s a deduction isn’t it.

The current system where rich pay a lower tax rate because they can take advantage of things like capital gains and deductions is not fair or equitable. A flat rate system that eliminated things like capital gains and deductions would not be fair, but it would be fairer because it keep the millionaire mfrom paying a lower rate than the poor (or the software engineer).

Graduated tax that eliminated things like capital gains and deductions would be fairer still. Also gift exemption, inheritance exemption and other carveouts that unduly favor the wealthy should at least be be adjusted if not outright eliminated.

Not advocating for flat tax, I’ve said flat tax not fair, we’re in agreement on that.

I stand by my statement that a flat tax scheme applied evenly to all sources of income with no deductions to shield income, is fairer than the current scheme. Your arguments that flat tax scheme is unfair are all true but do not repudiate that statement.

I say it again, fairer than the current scheme. Don’t tell me not fair, I agree. Tell me how everyone paying the same rate would not be fairer than the current scheme where wealthy are able to pay a lower rate. Again, fairer than, not fair.

I understand, you are arguing quite ably against a point I didn’t make and not addressing the point I did make.
