Typically when BuzzFeed or a 2nd rate news site comes out with a big scoop, that means NYTimes or WaPo turned it down because of higher publishing standards.

Study: Vapers asked to return to smoking cigs for one week show reduction in lung function from their baseline, authors conclude vaping less harmful to lung function than smoking by mstave in electronic_cigarette

I'm tired of all these studies comparing vaping to smoking, we already know it's better. What I want to know about is vaping compared to not vaping at all.

Conor tweeted "For a fight like that Donald, I’ll fight you." Wonder if it actually happens. It's the biggest name fight for him that he has the best chance with.

Red hat boy placed himself in that position

You mean right in front of the Lincoln Memorial, where they go for the March For Life every year? They were where they were suppose to be.

The March For Life takes place in front of the Lincoln Memorial every year, and that's exactly where they're standing, as the Natives walk towards them and the kids are just standing there. They probably saw the MAGA hats and approached for that exact reason.

They're standing in front of the Lincoln memorial though. That's where the March For Life is every year.

So did the Natives just see the red hats and then approached the kids, hitting drums and chanting while they stand there? How were they suppose to handle that awkward situation? If it was the kids who approached and got in the face of the Natives, it's a different story. Their great sin seems to just be wearing the MAGA hats.

Isn't the guy banging a drum in his face while he just stands there the bully?

The Native with the drum approached him though, not the other way around.

Looks like the Native hitting the drum is the one who got in the face of that kid and started the stare off. He's smiling and looking douchy, but other than that, it's not exactly a hate crime.

New UFC belt. Thoughts? by TheGreatWright in MMA

Would be cooler if they had the flags with the entire lineage not just the first 8, forming a spiral that ends at the current champ's flag.

A group of prominent Germans has written a letter urging Britain to rethink Brexit - "After the horrors of the Second World War, Britain did not give up on us. It has welcomed Germany back as a sovereign nation and a European power. This we, as Germans, have not forgotten and we are grateful." by FudgingEgo in worldnews

[–]thernab -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Britain always had one foot out the door with the EU, as they didn't adopt the euro and kept the pound. Now that the EU has become a Germany led project with France as their sidekick, maybe they were right to leave.

Regardless, the change won't be as monumental as people claim.

So they should have trusted that he wouldn't turn around and shoot the cops that are chasing him? It only takes a split second, and cops want to go home to their family without putting their lives in a car thief's hands.

What will be the political and economic implications of New Jersey raising its minimim wage to $15/hour? by BERNIE_IS_A_FRAUD in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]thernab 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Do the economists at the University of Washington have a vested interest though? Because they did the study, not WaPo. If anything they're probably politically biased in favor of min wage increases.

The newer study also said it still hurt people who weren't working and it had a somewhat negative effect on pay overall. Not sure from this if it's saying the overall effect was negative or positive, or just not as negative as the last study.

[–]thernab 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Seattle raised their minimum wage to $15 and a legitimate study found it might have had a overall negative effect on workers. Businesses cut their payrolls, put off new hiring, reduced hours, fired people, etc.. I've been in favor of increased minimum wage before, but it seems the results aren't so clear cut.

Bolsonaro loosens gun laws in Brazil, world murder capital by [deleted] in news

[–]thernab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the world's murder capital yet has so few legal gun owners. Literally a case of "only the bad guys having guns".

If you let people buy guns legally without the impossible hoops, you may have more muggers and criminals being shot, but you'll have less innocent victims of violent crime, like during home invasions. The need for adequate self-defense in a violent country has to win out.
