No person working a full time job should be poor. And a 20hr per week job should be able to comfortably split the median rent of a 2 bedroom apartment with another working adult and offer at least a basic lifestyle.

I don’t give a fuck about judging if a job is necessary or not. If a buisness needs a job filled then they have to pay enough for people to live

I mean at most the majority of your community would be at least your 2nd cousin or closer

If people stopped trying to make it something it’s not and built it as a proper tool, this is one of the few things AI is good for. It can proccess data quite well, or could. Because of all that’s being shoved in the hallucinations are getting worse, but I’ve been able to use it to proccess data sets with very specific instructions. Saved me hours of tedious work.

But a way to organize and proccess data faster isn’t exciting for investors so

Are we sure it wasn’t the father’s DNA that didn’t match?

It’s so very rare for them to ever test the mother as that is usually never questioned because well if the birth certificate says she had the kid it’s likely.

Rare circumstances apply of course

Once he became king he does indeed own those things. Wild to suggest otherwise

Also I’m not going to explain how a publicly owned art museum is different than the crown of a monarch. Art was created and acquired by the state. To make that crown wealth was extracted on the back of slaves and colonies for generations

If we want to take a biological or evolutionary viewpoint it gets rather interesting. Autism would be fine and even beneficial, but in it’s most severe forms it would be very detrimental to survival and the passage of genes.

However, we will never know how that presented in the past. Our modern environment almost certainly influences the presentation and manifestation of what we classify as “mental illness”.

I would say any behavior, at least from a biological standpoint, that does not impact an individual’s ability to survive and reproduce would be “neurotypical”.

Of course human culture and socities make this very very difficult to interpret. Especially considering that our ability to survive in the modern day ia directly related to our ability to do labor. Labor that is well outside of the behaviors we evolved for.

Trust me when I say this, it’s not the illiterate ones looking to leave

I understand what you are saying. The issue is if someone were to say, using the example, “I don’t think we should use animal based hormones” without a qualifier they run the risk of having to fight off allegations of not supporting or discriminating against trans people when that clearly isn’t what they belive.

So they start with the qualifier. However now people claim that is disingenuous.

Honestly it’s something I’ve seen develop more and more over the years. People like to ignore all of the context of any given conversation.

Obviously if the qualifier is followed with something actually unsupportive you’re right, but based on the comic we’ll never get to know what that but was.

He got monkey finger

“Guys why have you barley added amendments and why was one of them for banning alcohol?”

Or you don’t come back

Last date idea

Huge problem I’ve been seeing among European classical archaeologists. They keep labeling the slave quarter in Roman Villas as “servants quarters” or “residential space”

Like no dog that’s where they kept the fucking slaves

Yes those higher risk contacts in St. Helena are those that interacted with the passangers/crew when the ship was in port. They are not the people that were passangers on board the ship that left.

And second, if you can test them and rule out infection with certainty, why would they be ordered to isolate?

I did not say this. They are testing an already ill flight attendant. You can’t test during the incubation period. Which is highly variable with this virus.

The incubation period is huge. In 40 days we’ll know if we are having another pandemic or not.

Right if you read the article he was the only one that both left the ship and was later confirmed as infected. There was another Dutch couple that left while sick and quickly were hospitalized. My concern is he was able to move around freely all while he was unknowingly infected. He seems to be the one that had the most opportunity to spread the infection.

Others also left early and have been quarantined. They have not shown symptoms so I didn’t bring them up when discussing spread. One infected couple left early as well, but they were already sick and didn’t leave South Africa. Although they may have infected a flight attendant, still waiting on tests.

Of course the virus can have a long incubation period. So these individuals may be more relevant to discussion later. There are those that were evacuated to recieve medical treatment elsewhere, but it’s not like they are walking around their respective countries.

Okay now I’m confused. I was talking about the Swiss guy who returned to Switzerland and the public transit system of Europe.

I suppose we’re on a thread talking about some American public figures huffing Ivermectin, but I was more concerned about the spread. Which seems like it will kick off in Europe first

Yes I understand that. Being crammed against another person for a long enough period of time seems right. During any major holiday if you take a train you can easily spend 1 or 2 hours pressed against a few people. Seems fairly close and extended to me. Especially considering there may have already been spread of the virus from contact in an airplane.

Rush hour commutes you might be pressed against a couple of people for 20 minutes or so depending on your commute. This is close, but maybe not extended enough.

The potential is there

If it hadn’t left the ship you’d be right, but it has. A Swiss man left the cruise and tested positive later. If he rode public transit during rush hour even once while infected it could be bad.

I’m not as familiar with Swiss transport, but I’ve been packed ass to face many of times on a train in Europe

Probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference for a ship registered in the Netherlands that never made port in the US.

Will probably be a problem down the road though
