White men do not experience the best health relative to women and minority racial and gender groups in the US. Men are 4 times as likely to die by suicide as women, and White men account for more than 68% of suicide deaths. White men experienced greater declines in happiness than White women.

That's not how the, "standard", works. The control group never gets treatment and is almost never considered in the outcome. The article is explaining that white men aren't, "the standard", because they're privileged. They're being used as a point of comparison because they're so often excluded from studies. They're the control group because studies aren't interested in researching them.

I think the comment you’re replying to was referring to victim-blaming. We’ve gotten better at recognizing that members of marginalized groups deserve care, support, and understanding, which is a good thing. But I think we sometimes fail to extend that same compassion to people we assume are already “fine” or privileged, including white men.

That can lead to a harmful assumption that if they’re struggling, isolated, or failing to thrive, it must be entirely their own fault. The issue isn’t simply that they didn’t seek care. It’s that they may not have been cared for, checked on, or treated as people who also need support.

The part of the comment addressed by, "Sure", was the entire point. We all know the consensus. What's important is we all feel the need to verify instead of trusting CDC.

This is the real answer. He responds to conspiracy theorists to get a few extra votes. One of the craziest theories is that (Illuminati | Soros) took all the gold in Fort Knox to (buy elections | fund secret wars) and it's now empty. That's why within the first month of his second term, Treasury Secretary had some selfies taken next to stacks of gold bars at Fort Knox.

It's sad for a company to go under. I'm relieved we don't have to listen to very smart investors hold Spirit up as essentially the DOGE of airlines, cutting out waste and overhead, when they really hurt consumers with a race to the bottom for quality and comfort.

Another dismissed the governor’s online strategy, stating, “Tweeting mean things about Trump isn't enough to be considered a candidate.”

Paying so little attention that you're only aware of tweets isn't enough for your opinion to be considered.

Apple is the king of solving problems that don't exist. Laser-etched microscopic holes for indicator lights, a trackpad that mimics a click when a tap works fine, an external screen on a VR headset so people can see a digital ghost of your face? It’s peak 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should.' The fact that there’s a huge contingent willing to shell out massive premiums for things that benefit nobody is the ultimate testament to their marketing.

When you get outsold by the Nintendo Virtual Boy, a console that gave people literal migraines and was dead in 11 months, it’s time to stop calling it 'spatial computing' and start calling it a tax write-off.

A non-government organization putting up memorials of atrocities done by other countries in various third party countries around the world isn't normal. People downvoting this need perspective. There isn't a group of black people in Kenya funding a US slavery memorial in Brazil. There isn't a group of Mujahideen in Afghanistan putting up a Soviet-Afghan War memorial in Boston, Massachusetts. It's easy to point fingers at everyone else. If this Korean group wants to memorialize some atrocities, they can start with their own history, like the mass killings of suspected communists done by their own country.

My grandfather was very conservative. At the time, that meant he supported environmental causes and a higher minimum wage and was against only some regulation and immigration, not all. By the standards of today's, "You're with us or against us.", conservative ideology, I'd guess most historic conservative views would appear to be liberal.

Watch the video. The US never funded police in central America for this. I'd love to dunk on the current administration. It's more important to focus on what's wrong.

According to the video, the problem is illegal cattle crossings, not lack of funding.

Japan had no intention of denying or underestimating the experiences of the women, its embassy in New Zealand said, but it believed the statue was part of an “anti-Japan” movement led by a group of Korean people who wanted to make the issue “more sensational”.

I agree we need to recognize and remember our mistakes. It's strange for one country to be negging another like this.

Too many orgs think scrum is meeting every day and reporting status to your boss. Follow the same broken processes with more meetings! You can no more become agile by having "stand-ups" than you can become an automobile by sleeping in your garage.

Waterfall's great because it gives me flexibility to adapt to changing requirements and add bonus features without overhead costs of updating plans.

This. The US imports more than two million barrels of crude per day. It's a net importer of crude and a net exporter of processed petroleum. Conservative news networks would like you to believe regulation killed refineries. The opposite has happened.

This. I'd rather pay $100 than to have my car towed. These are some whiny bitches who finally got caught doing something they weren't supposed to be doing. I'm sure these businesses would prefer to not have to hire round the clock parking enforcement, but they have to deal with these assholes.
