"Young Zimbabweans are still tentative about taking advantage of that freedom of speech," Munyati says. Honestly, I’d still wait a bit myself in their position. Maybe this government really will go in a new direction, but if not

LNT is a theory of ionizing radiation, and while your overall point is salient, the reference to LNT is not. While many things enjoy a similar exposure model, LNT is a specific term.

I’m from Italy, and until I lived in America for a while I’d never understood just how massive the US really is. I lived on two coasts, in two states that were both much larger than my entire country! People like to point to Berlin or Paris

You call it NIMBY’ism, they call it the people who actually live and invest in an area wanting to have the final say, not distant interests which might just be interested in developer kick backs.

Bacon is cured belly meat, whereas this was apparently pure fat. Fat tends to concentrate flavors, good or bad, and in this case it would have probably be very very gamey. Edit: I think we have to see a difference between domesticated pig

#MeToo is a hashtag women are encouraged to use as a way to share personal stories of sexual violence though. I’m not seeing the equivalent here. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/07&#x2

When push-button elevators were installed, they worked. Can you imagine if the pitch had been, “sometimes this elevator will kill the odd person, thanks for helping us work out the bugs.” As a bonus, the actual working elevator might not em

As far as I cannot tell neither are really the driving factor, rather it’s a desire to believe. People who want to believe in X look for stories which confirm X. X can be UFO’s, or Muslim rape gangs, the blood libel, or FEMA detention camps

It’s sold as a convenience, but the reality is they’re having the customer do the job, but without pay. If I wanted to be a cashier I wouldn’t have gone to school. Of course this gets some traction with people who’s major goal in life is to

Medical scams have traditionally been cure-all’s. If you look at claims made by old patent medicines, orgone boxes, electrical therapy devices, it’s easier to lost what they don’t claim to cure.

Failing to give thought to something doesn’t make it go away, but of course it’s your right not to think. As long as you understand that ideology and opinion aside, it can greatly impact your ability to do business in Europe, then you go be

You’re being generous... this reeks more of scam than carelessness. Either way, it’s going to never actually be delivered, not be GDPR complient, and based on the answers to questions raised here, full of obvious holes. If it isn’t just a s

I don’t know, New York in August makes it pretty unpleasant to wear a suit. Actually it’s unpleasant just to try and breathe... it’s like huffing hummus. Of course Florida in August is downright fatal. I think fashion just doesn’t care.

That wasn’t my intent, but I’ve also never been on Reddit so wouldn’t know. I didn’t realize that a religious precept from the 6th century was still so hot as to be flaming either.

I’m with you, but religious extremists and rationality are like oil and napalm. It always struck me as odd that for religious types, “because god said so” isn’t enough. I guess it highlights a difference between just faith and scriptural li
