It's not that exposure doesn't have value. It's that unpaid positions start to collapse the industry if it becomes too common. SAG has minimum day rates for a reason. I imagine major studios could find plenty of people to do

Generally agree with you. I guess I was looking at it a little differently. If I'm talking to an individual, the only thing that matters is what they can do to better themselves now. It's not productive, on an individual level, to

This is much more convincing than dnissley's response to me. I wonder how many "incels" have suffered trauma in their childhood. I certainly don't expect people to just work through childhood trauma without societal help

I'm not convinced it's the same. When talking about dating, there are a bunch of stuff that you can do that boils down to "make yourself a better person." See: my list above. It's obviously not guaranteed, and many

I'm assuming the rule is around because FB knows it's targeting isn't 100% accurate and it might ruffle feathers if an ad claims you're something you're not. I don't see that specifically as nefarious. Especial

No where did I say doctors don't make mistakes. Everywhere did I say that you are much more likely to make mistakes than your doctors .

I didn't put much thought into that phrasing. Changed it to "settled" instead to better reflect reality.

Someone responded with a good question but then deleted it: Aren't you allowed to disagree with your doctor? Sure, in the sense that you can get second opinions if you're extra concerned about the topic. If you're pregnant or

I agree that leaping to conclusions isn't science. It doesn't get past the hypothesis stage and needs proper study. That said, if the massive reduction in flu cases isn't a result of some or all of our Covid efforts, it&#x2

SpaceX also blew up a huge amount of their Falcon rockets at the beginning too, and now they're consistently bringing astronauts to the ISS and payloads into orbit. So I'm not sure what your point is.
