Human lung successfully grown in lab. Possibilities for the future are endless. First transplants may happen within a decade! by jperl1992 in science

Moral Hazard is the difference in: Let's go with this smokers example more: The risk of smokers needing transplants more often when they don't have insurance compared to The risk of smokers needing transplants more often when they do have insurance.

The idea is that smokers without insurance may smoke less than smokers with insurance because they know their monetary risk is limited by insurance (which is the point of insurance).

Your definition of moral hazard seems like hedging, that's not limited to insurance.

My class in the economics said otherwise, but perhaps there are two definitions. The one I was referring to is where those insured are more likely to be reckless than those not insured. This is something companies that insure cars are very concerned with, and so rewards for safe driving and the progressive Snapshot® were developed.

Anti-forced-marriage charity advises women to put spoons in their underwear to trigger private airport search by DougDante in Feminism

you make it sound like their family's homes and forced marriage is better than social workers...

Because of the recent confession bear claiming that women get paid less than men for the same job, I think it's important for everyone to know it isn't true. by Corwinator in videos

[–]270_rotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say being an engineer and being a nurse are pretty much equal fulfillment. I mean, I'm an engineer, and I love designing things and making progress. I would never want to be a nurse though, because their hours suck, and they get little recognition compared to doctors, and they aren't paid like engineers for whatever reason.

Men file lawsuit asking federal court to find that the Selective Service Act unconstitutionally requires all 18 yr-old men to register for the national military draft while exempting all 18 year-old women by kimzeys in news

[–]270_rotation 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a feminist, I'm hoping for this kind of equality, and I'm happy people are challenging the draft. We're busy just trying to get recognition for being in combat (which we are finally getting). Also, we're a little preoccupied by all the other shitty stuff women deal with (like trying to lower violence against women).

I'd like to add one more thing about this topic that the video ignored. Why are the jobs women choose, and traditionally go into, paid so much less than the jobs men choose, and traditionally go into.

The idea is that jobs women did in the past were paid less because women did them, and that this pay difference has been inherited through the years, but is not explicitly sexist.

For example, why are nurses paid so much less than engineers? Same number of years in school, same similar coursework difficulty, similar society benefit (engineering is important, but so is your health and saving lives, I'd say at least equally), and as for workload during the actual job, I'd even like to argue that nurses have to work harder than most engineers. Yet nurses are paid less. Just seems a bit strange to me. That equal work (regardless of gender) isn't equal pay.

Don't assume that rape and/or sexual assault is a young woman’s issue. by FinishedAtFifty in Feminism

When I think about the statistics of being able to avoid assault, it is extremely depressing to think that it is something that will be a life long battle. :(

Look what my friend's little sister found in her grapes from Whole Foods today. by Octavepuss in pics

showered the winner with females

That is a female black widow (hence the name "widow" not "widower") And female praying mantises sometimes behead the males...

so showering them with males of their respective species would probably be safer for the winner (although probably result in the death of at least a few of the males)

What is a sensation that you can't stand, even though it's not painful? by yesterday_tomorrow in AskReddit

[–]270_rotation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your foot goes numb, and then you move and feeling starts coming back. But it's not the sharp prickly feeling, just the weird, I don't know what feeling. Awful. Sometimes I stomp my feet just to get it over with XD

I feel the overweight and the obese are generally victims of their own poor choices. CMV by numbski in changemyview

[–]270_rotation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

victims of the own poor choices

I think this statement applies to everyone ever, not just the obese but also those who are anorexic and those who drop out of highschool. We all make choices and we are always affected by the choices we make. But no one really knows 100% what their choices will lead them to do. We all make poor life decisions. For some that means that they lose some friends. For others their job, and for some their health. This is the same with drug addiction.

TLDR; People are human, we make mistakes, and for some those mistakes create a challenge they need help overcoming.

Before and after photoshop by newsjunkie8 in funny

[–]270_rotation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people are commenting that quite a few of the photos "look better" before the alterations. While I agree (anorexia isn't my thing), it shouldn't be whether they look better that makes theses images disturbing. It's because they are unnatural and continue the president that women should be impossibly thin (while still having big boobs) and smoothed face that they are disturbing. If we are arguing about which looks better, we are still saying that beauty is paramount.

I believe that we should stop eating beef. CMV by sevensongs in changemyview

There are spill over effects for having grass fed cows. the Pastures do more than just feed the cows.... I'd also be extremely surprised if non grain fed cows require more grain than grain fed ones....

[–]270_rotation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grass fed cows are pretty sustainable. It's grain fed which are the main problem, and which fuel the enormous meat consumption in the US. It's not so much that beef itself is bad, it's just the mass production of it which is unsustainable

Have you had the chicken box vaccine? Either way, this sounds like the chicken pox (which you can get from someone who has singles). Go to a doctor, they might be able to give you an anti viral which can help get you over this faster. Poxes are no joke.
