Have google made a phone yet? The Nexus ones are normally outsourced to Asus or LG.

They designed it full this time, but HTC manufactured it


Ah. Still made by HTC in the end.

just as anyone who actually cares about the victims would pay enough attention to make sure they sent supplies to the right island.


Again, many of these people don't have the means to aid in any other way, but truly believe that prayer can help. It's truly abhorrent how petty you are about this.




Why do you think people advertise their prayers, other than social benefit of influencing others' perspective of the person offering prayers? Does posting about praying for someone have more power than simply praying to yourself? Is it like a tree falling in the woods? If a person prays without posting about it, does it have any effect?

The current far-left is basically Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryThe era of acceptance has come with a very large, undeniable downside: it's not appropriate to question things.

Okay, great. Let's question and criticize things you're saying.

The suicide rates among trans people aren't a coincidence, and only worsen following the operation.


Any sources on this? There's limited cohort studies on trans persons, and those that I know of aren't able to make the conclusion you've just stated, because it's particularly difficult to find matched populations to make such a comparison. For example, age and lifetime suicide attempts co-vary, as do age and transition progress. This could lead to a naive conclusion that transition is a causal factor for suicide attempts if that isn't taken into consideration.

Um, freedom of speech? You should be able to call anyone anything you freaking want. You have to deal with the consequences, and if you incite a riot or something that could be illegal, but how can you legally state someone can't say something, even if it's calling someone a name?

I mean it's not even illegal to use racial slurs etc, wth?


It's for cases that are willful and repeated, after being informed how they would like to be addressed. In essence, a form of verbal harassment.

This is for long term care facilities, which I presume would be elderly patients. This verbal harassment could constitute mental abuse, defined as:

Deprivation by a caregiver of things or services that the elder or dependent adult needs to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.

First part is certainly untrue.

If you select yes to any questions that would disqualify you from donating (which is called a deferral, making you a deferred donor), you are typically not forwarded to the collection step. This is true for electronic questionnaires (where you're automatically flagged) or ones you fill out on paper (where someone manually reviews your answers). You're brought aside for a private discussion where they go over questions that caused your deferment to make sure you understood the question.

I would guess because somebody's generally going to be pretty reluctant to give a raise to a subordinate that already makes more than them, or at least that that's what he's concerned about. It might even lead to a pay cut.


Bingo!


This argument doesn't make any sense though. If someone has the power to set your salary, it naturally follows that they will know what you earn. If they never know what their subordinate earns, they must not have the power to set that person's salary.

If they are going to be part of the conversation of salary negotiations, part of that conversation is weighed against what that employee currently earns. The whole premise of raises or re-negotiating salary is that you believe your compensation is not in line with what you are worth. And intrinsic part of that argument is what you currently earn.

Regardless, salary transparency leads to everyone being paid more fairly what they are actually worth.

Deciding whether to be in a relationship with someone, or not to be in a relationship, is a decision when weighing the value of the two choices. It boils down to,

"Do I value what I can gain from entering a relationship with this person more than what I will potentially lose from entering a relationship?"

This rarely is an absolute. That is, you will be hard-pressed to find someone who would agree with the statement:

"There is no such person or circumstance that would provide benefit enough that I would consider being in a relationship with them."

Instead, it boils down to exactly what you said, when applied to specific people.

"I do not value the benefits of entering a relationship with this specific person more than what I will potentially lose from being in a relationship with them."

They wouldn't fill the void with another creator story unless they're severely damaged. Most people just accept the unknown for what it is at that point. It's better to admit ignorance than cling to a metaphorical security blanket with no basis in reality.

You don't think science has filled that void? People accept any number of scientific hypotheses without a shred of evidence, just because they're labeled "science." It takes just as much faith to believe that life probably came to earth from outer space as it does to believe that God probably created us. If anything, the latter explanation is more scientifically sound than the first one.


Try getting the scientific community to accept your ideas without a shred of evidence and get back to me.
