I just refuse to order off Uber Eats or Doordash. Does that count as not punishing the drivers?

I get that you’re trying to do a reductio ad absurdum but your post really falls flat on its face.
The Roman Empire no longer exists in any shape or form.
The United States of America is a surviving institution that has continuity to its darker history as it pertains to slavery.
The problem is not simply that slavery is causing some sort of moral taint; it’s that there are still institutions today that continue to have advantages that stem from the unjust practice of slavery in the US.
Ugh, gig workers need to be brought into some semblance of a minimum wage. Uber and Doordash are just techstortion.
Informed consent laws were around well before The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks came out. I think there were earlier publicized examples of subject mistreatment (like Tuskegee) that already pushed the field to be better.
23andme requires you to agree to what they ask, which is far more than what Johns Hopkins did for Henrietta Lacks.
I’m sorry, did you say cervix?
You either need to go back to school or you have some weird-ass fetish for endoscopy
Sorry guys it’s my fault. I canceled my D+ from my Hulu account when the prices went up. Didn’t realize Disney would stage a full-on takeover of Hulu to get me back.
You have it half right.
Our healthcare system is fucked.
Our insurance system is quite profitable.
For Boston specifically, they could rebuild the Long Island Bridge, which before its demolition was a usable footpath for addicts seeking treatment to get to Long Island, which at one point housed a hospital and even after the hospital’s closure offered facilities for those in need including a homeless shelter and rehabilitation programs.
The area the article discusses, called politely “Mass and Cass,” is also referred to as “methadone mile” and it does not really have comparable facilities to help those in need. Methadone mile sprang up when the BU medical center became the only real place where addicts can get treatment to try and wean off their drug addiction, and it’s a real problem even for the addicts as there is very easy access to genuine opiods.
Stressful street living + constant presence of dealers + no facilities besides a regulated hospital = a really fucking impossible way to kick your addiction.
Methadone mile needs to go. Boston also needs the neighboring town of Quincy to stop fighting the rebuilding of the Long Island Bridge.
It’s almost like our entire world of modern technology is inextricably connected to the economics that support it.
Nah, the remaining employees aren’t the “dead wood” necessarily. They’re all the ones on H1 visas who can’t legally work in the US anywhere else (without taking a massive risk).
I can’t get past the awful animated guy
I2P is still around? I remember experimenting with it a decade ago. Sounds like it’s still a slow experience.
Just Google it, the advice you always hear when the other person is shutting down any more conversation. What an unfortunate result
They’re also very well crafted to force the narrative down one narrow, black-and-white path.
Mint was my first, Pop is my current and fave.
Just remember to check your favorite Steam games on protondb.com to see how well it runs on Linux.
That “game” of which you speak is an appeal to privilege in its most obscene form: claiming an ancestral myth that allows you to impact extreme violence against other humans whose only crime is being born into the wrong bloodline.
It’s 2023 CE out here but some cultures are pretending it’s 2023 BCE
It’s also how you destroy the environment of the Niger River Delta.
You want to take out the pumps, not the pipelines.
(Calm down NSA, I’m saying this purely in jest)
There didn’t even need to be a deliberate cartel for this to happen either.
Amazon realized it could make money and grow the company by offering cloud services and now AWS runs something like 30% of the internet.
Google turned their leading search algorithms into an extensive tracking and advertising platform that integrates with most of the internet.
Apple decided that people don’t need to be allowed to tinker with and repair their own devices so that hardware can be locked into a four-year cycle of planned obsolescence.
A whole bunch of profit-maximizing firms did the hard job of controlling everything for the governments.
Excuse me wut
