to be fair, mirrors are pretty crazy and don't typically appear as clearly in nature with the exception of water.

Whether a dog recognizes its reflection or not doesn't really rule out that they're not self aware

not if you had one of those setups where you can burn right from a source CD to multiple target blanks

This is the old is fetus life.

Yeah, and the problem there is that logic and science won't change someone's mind about it. It's subjective from their perspective.

I've seen pro-life folks argue that but they frame it like... "the law is fine and it's a failure of the doctors not being willing to understand the law which led to deaths" and they'll also follow that up by saying that even if women die, they're saving more lives by preventing abortions so it's a net positive.

I find it difficult to argue against that perspective. That is, I disagree with them but also it's hard to argue when they frame abortions as basically murder.

could it be possible that these bikes can go faster, and thus are louder, than the cars and trucks can go within city streets in the Netherlands?

The thing that's missing here is context. It's hard to care about a random doctor prescribing an extra $200 for a patient that is taken out of the tens of billions of dollars of profit a year that health insurance companies make.

Like, this car seat anecdote costs as much as an hour meeting of a few of their higher paid employees.

Does that really matter? Should it matter?

as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices... working in fast food isn't the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

I feel like similarly sized cities have similar problems.

for what it's worth, I liked Richmond when I visited

It doesn't matter that it was correct. There isn't anything that verifies what it's saying, which is why it's not recommended to ask it questions like that. You're taking a risk if you're counting on the information it gives you.

because it could have just as easily confidentiality said something incorrect. You only know it's correct by going through the process of verifying it yourself, which is why it doesn't make sense to ask it anything like this in the first place.
