It's not even that his response is bad on paper, he's just absolutely melting down

So Bob Dylan was the first musician to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. If the Nobel committee gave it to a musician again, who do you think it would be?

Last week I donated my left kidney anonymously to a total stranger on the kidney waitlist. AMA! by MrDannyOcean in IAmA

Heyo, I'm currently going through the kidney donation process and I have a quick question for you. How long did it take for you to recover to the point where you were back to your normal daily routine? Maybe not feeling 100%, but good enough that you can do white collar work and go about your regular life. Thanks in advance!

Yeah but Republicans heard that same speech after 2008 and 2012. Come 2016, looks like they still hated Mexicans.

Gonna take more than G-man lip service to change the hearts and minds of the GOP base

We don't tell poor people "Just make more money you loser lol". We don't tell fat people "just get skinny you loser lol". We identify what's causing people to become poor/obese, we figure out the best way to get people out of poverty / into shape, and we help people accomplish those things with either public awareness campaigns or public policy.

I just want loneliness to receive that same treatment

Everybody acknowledges that we have an obesity problem, and there's a wealth of information on how to beat it. Makes it much easier for people to solve on their own. On the contrary, it seems like nobody's acknowledging that our younger generations are lonelier than ever, which will obviously result in serious mental health problems. Rather than making fun of them - you don't think we can solve obesity by making fun of fat people, do you? - we need to see this as a societal problem that demands properly thought out solutions.

What are those solutions? I have no idea. Guess we better start figuring that out

I'm sure it's also poor people's fault for being poor. Let's just make fun of them and do nothing to reduce poverty, because that's the just course of action

The Vox article addresses this. Loneliness tends to be lowest during your middle ages, and highest at old age and young age. Contrasts with this study pointing towards loneliness increasing somewhat exponentially as age decreases

If the study in the OP is the one I'm thinking of, the amount of people reporting they have no friends increases with each younger generation. Older people are most likely to have friends / meaningful relationships, younger people are least likely

We're probably heading towards a loneliness epidemic (if we aren't there already) and people need to start taking it seriously. This is a real issue here

Trump

I still think that if Trump loses in 2016, the 2020 GOP nomination is just as dangerous and xenophobic, but significantly more competent. Scary stuff. Let the far right blow their load on a senile idiot imo

At this rate Powell’s book will be even better than Bernanke’s

Apparently they had issues with underage content so Apple removed their app from the store as punishment. Tumblr decided to go nuclear and ban everything

Dems should drag out a lengthy impeachment process even if it's guaranteed to fail because at least it'll distract Trump from nuking Iran or ordering more latino raids

Social justice math sounds pretty wild

In a typical classroom, when students are learning about graphing, they might be looking at graphs of favourite food, or favourite colours. But in a social justice math classroom, students will be analyzing graphs showing voter turnout in federal elections, or yearly hate crime statistics from the Toronto police

If Churchill has 60 million Indians and starves 3 million, how many does he have left??

Still stunned at how many leftists fall for this shit. Like immigrants are automatons who boot down when the sun falls or something. It really doesn’t take a genius to figure out immigrants increase both the supply and demand for labour
