Because they make the decision while on the meds and theoretically of sound mind. If you prior to that accident signed a DNR, and they knew about it, they wouldn’t perform certain measures that they otherwise would.

That didn’t work. I got

The real problem if that’s the scenario is that his social security check is less than $400/month.

Do you think signatures were at all secure? If they cared about security they’d do chip+pin like most civilized countries.

You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

I’m doing that anyway. I have a fixed work schedule and can’t be like “Eh, I have enough money, I’m just going to work 35 hours this week.” It would be amazing if I could, but I don’t know many people who have that option. So since I pretty much get the choice of working 40 hours a week or not working, I’d like to maximize my other time.

It’s about 40° C

Implying he only makes executive orders about things he has a say in.

How many progressives do we have in the house? How many green party members (or any independent/third party member who wasn’t initially elected as a Democrat/Republican)?

If you’re a third party in the general, the deck is stacked against you even stronger than a progressive in the primary.

You could steal the green party but it’s not going to get you anything. You’d have to do the exact same thing of building up the party from local, to state, to federal offices. And you don’t get to drag along the people who are lifelong Democrats. You’d have to build up the green party and then take on both the Democrats and Republicans.

I think if she anchored it different, I might think like you. But “I don’t have a million; not half a million either” doesn’t imply to me it’s close. Maybe like 100k. But saying that she said she’s worth so much and quoting her saying “I’m not even worth X” as the proof is nonsense. Especially in response to someone with quotes from the article stating that it’s like $125k.

You have to fund your own retirement. The social safety net is constantly threatening to be removed and it doesn’t cover much to start with. And homes are stupid expensive. Especially in the places where AOC has to have places to live.

I think my point is more along the lines of “I don’t even have half a million dollars” doesn’t imply to me that they have half a million dollars.

How does “I’m not even worth half a million” mean “I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank” to people. I don’t get it.

If you have a retirement account and a home, you’re probably worth more than that anyway.

No? They tried to recruit from places that they wouldn’t traditionally in order to get a more diverse hiring pool. So instead of just hiring the managers buddy, you set up a booth at the traditionally black college’s career fair.

Would a younger kid have understood what was being talked about or would it have gone over their head like the dirty jokes in kids cartoons? If the latter, the filters did their job. Neopets was probably one of the rare instances where parents actually signed the permission slips for their under 13 year old kids to use the social aspects. I know my parents did and it was the only site they ever did that for.

Someone easily scammed

Dictionary definitions are nice but rarely capture the full meaning of the word. Connotations of the word are pretty important.

If I say “I tolerate that behavior,” you can probably infer that I don’t like that behavior based on the connotations of the word tolerate. It invokes a negativity toward the subject.

Similarly for consent. The examples bear this out: medical treatments, business trips, and short notice are generally not pleasant things.

It doesn’t automatically save anyone. The CEO isn’t personally murdering anyone. Their policies don’t go away. The health care industry isn’t magically made better by one CEOs death. It leads to a slight chance of health care reform as the comic states. But we actually have to do more to get that outcome.
