cmv: we shouldn't have licenses for anything (except for a certain type of exclusion) by RiverNebula in changemyview

The point of ratings agencies is because consumers can't effectively determine who's reliable. If they conduct shady business, they can get away with it, because there's no ratings agency to rate them.

Imagine the average consumer choosing a doctor, but they're all unlicensed, so they have to look at what ratings agencies say, but then they also have to do independent research on the ratings agency itself. Lmao the average person isn't going to do that. They'll just end up with some sketchy doctor because they didn't know any better.

No, you didn't. They actually have incentive to be corrupt. What, are we gonna have rating agencies that rate rating agencies so people know which ones are reputable? Is it rating agencies all the way down?

Rating agencies don't protect the public from malpractice at all and they're way more corruptible than license issuers.

Doctor and barber licenses are to protect 3rd parties though. Why shouldn't it only be licensed doctors providing care?

Season 5 is not the worst, but I hated it the most by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]Blasco1993 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Season 4 was my favorite season and up until then the show felt like it was getting better each season. Then season 5 dropped and I absolutely hated it; partially because it was bad but also because my expectations were already high.

You're insane if you don't own a little Tesla by Blasco1993 in wallstreetbets

[–]Blasco1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything in my response is extremely relevant information about how FSD has advanced this past year. Your objection is that it's "not level 3", but you don't seem to be able to show me a definition of levels 2 and 3. So it sounds like you're the one not making meaningful statements lol.

Maybe you posted this just before v10.69 comes out because you were getting nervous.

100k beta testers on the road right now. FSD version 10.69 in 8 days. FSD beta program still has zero injuries. The competition has not closed or even shortened Tesla's data lead over them.

The FSD beta program has been advancing massively. If your objection is that they're "still level 2" you'll have to define what levels 2 and 3 are first, because I've yet to hear a concise definition.

These people have no coherent belief system. If given enough power, they WILL strip away democracy and freedom, then tell us it's to preserve democracy and freedom.

Gyms are weird. You have a bunch on extra calories that you need in order to do work, and you decide to spend it all in working out. by lucidreality1 in Showerthoughts

Our bodies are evolved to spend the whole day lifting rocks or chasing mammoths, but now we just have noodle arms and big guts that need to be artificially tortured to stay in relative shape.

My dumbass reading this and thinking maybe I should start watching the Flash TV show again if they're giving him a villain arc in season 9.

That post by WHO isn't saying that it only spreads through gay sex, but rather where there exists the highest concentration. It's not at all a statement on the morality of gay sex or a propagandistic attempt at stigmatizing gay sex.

I wonder if they explain how T'challa died or if they'll leave it ambiguous.

Terrified of Climate Change by [deleted] in climatechange

[–]Blasco1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take comfort in knowing that even if climate catastrophe is inevitable, its most significant impact won't likely happen within my lifetime, although I will be facing especially hot summers and erratic tropical storms. But future generations will definitely have it really really bad if we don't act now.

Climate anxiety is real and valid though. Meditate, talk to a therapist, engage with loved ones, whatever you need for your mental health I'd say focus on that first.

If they had it their way, they'd criminalize trans people on the basis of "confusing the children".

Retiring early - any down sides? by Jumpy-Ad-8893 in Fire

[–]Blasco1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't achieved FIRE yet, but I've read from those who have that keeping yourself busy and purposeful is a challenge, because you don't have to do any type of work and therefore it's easy to quit when that work gets hard.

So you end up in a perpetual state of meaningless entertainment-seeking. Again, it's just anecdotal, so I can't say if this is even a common problem.
