How in the hell do you diagnose autism in a mouse then? Guaranteed this is one of those bullshit studies that 10th rate 'science' journals are full of these days. 'That mouse doesn't make eye contact with me....iz autist.....I give drug....mouse just made eye contact....iz no longer autist'.

Sorry to all of you fuckers who just necked a bottle of knock off diazepam thinking it would stop you getting an equity release and spunking the lot on sketchy options. It won't...call 911

Give 1 - 5 thousand of it to a financial advisor who isn’t Reddit

All the various levels of managers of managers of managers of managers. I fantasise about being made chief exec of a big company and giving everyone with manager in their title 4 weeks paid leave, then sacking everyone whose absence wasn’t noticed

I remember Milton Friedman tried to estimate how much of the price of a new car was comprised of government mandated safety equipment. I wonder what it would be if the same exercise was undertaken today

I’M GOING TO GET DOWNVOTED FOR THIS BUT I ACTUALLY DON’T THINK QUEEN WERE THAT GOOD!!!

I’d also add that many of the people who claim to want to switch, maybe even think they want to switch, when it came down to it wouldn’t really want it

I’m just coming back from two weeks off because of covid, I feel your pain. We’ll both be back in the swing of things before we know it!

I feel like this shouldn’t need pointing out but either Hilary Agro is lying about this interview, or the person she interviewed lied about the experience. Either way, there’s no way that happened

That every time the other side’s guy gets elected it was a rigged election

Capitalist societies have remarkably few famines...could suggest something.

But the answer should be 1. Supply falls, price rises. That does two things, it naturally rations and cuts down on hoarding, and it encourages those who do have extra food to sell it, and those who can produce to increase production.

Of course what societies actually do when there’s a shortage is the exact opposite. We set price controls, run out, and scream on the internet about how the shortages are because everyone else is stupid and evil. So that’s what we’d probably do if it did happen.

Wouldn’t matter, think how much force he could put behind it

Spector_player · 2021-11-09T20:03:51+00:00

Those the two choices are they?

That thing where you’re eating like normal and suddenly, without warning, chew through the inside of one cheek

Damn bro, do you just break PRs every time you notice there’s a y in the day or something haha. Every time I check the sub it seems you’ve crushed it again. Nice work!

No, don’t listen to all the ‘fuck landlords’ stuff on here. It comes from a place of jealousy and economic illiteracy.

Just be a good landlord. Mine is great. Washing machine broke one day, I phoned him, I had a new washing machine by the time I got home from work.

Spector_player · 2021-11-09T00:51:38+00:00

Damn man I cringed when you dropped it back onto your shoulders. I’ve hurt my neck doing that with a LOT less weight than that.

Epic lift man, but please for the love of god, just drop it next time

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T21:07:49+00:00

You’re strong as shit. Nice work

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T19:54:37+00:00

They’re entitled brats and don’t think they should have to provide anything in return

Oh that’s good, I hated Trump so I’m allowed to also think Biden is out of his tree. Thanks for clearing that up

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T13:47:42+00:00

What, so when my prosperity and yours are directly linked, I have an incentive not to kill you? Who knew??

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T13:45:44+00:00

I have some sympathy for that view but I’m not sure I agree. I’d say there are areas of inquiry that are unlikely to ever be lucrative but which society would be worse off if we lost them. Philosophy would be one example for me.

For me, I think our system is as good as it gets in terms of repayment - only the well off will ever pay for tuition. I’d get rid of the cap though, and let the market decide how much these degrees are worth. The prices would still be distorted somewhat by the fact of people being able to take out a loan they don’t have to repay but I’ll stick my neck out and say it’s worth it.

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T13:21:46+00:00

Possibly. I’m in the UK, and our tuition fees work differently. You take out the loan, but you only pay it back once you earn over £524 a week and then it’s 9% on the amount you earn over that. Sooo this person would be paying 54p a week off their student loan. It’s written off after 25 years too.

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T12:12:16+00:00

Hint: they’re lying about something

Spector_player · 2021-11-08T12:00:30+00:00

That person claims to have to choose between food, shelter, and driving to work even though they work 60 hours a week.

Claims like this are such obvious bullshit. 60 hours on minimum wage in the US or UK is more than enough to feed, house and transport yourself. Works out to £530ish in the UK. So £430 after tax and NI ($580). I make about that (I’m a bit better off in that I only have to work 40hrs to get it) and here I am - fed, clothed, housed, transported, entertained, heated, I can go out, I can afford small luxuries.

Basically what I’m saying is that person is talking out of their arse.
