December is peak holiday season. When people relax, and have time on their hands ...

It's not that it was a satisfying theory, it's that it was misinformation spread by the propaganda machine at the time.

I haven’t been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit.

So since 2009? You haven't been happy with TF2 for over 15 years.

Who told you that you are bad? Can you trust their assessment? Was their assessment correct at the time of assessment? Have things changed since that assessment? Did they know everything about you to be able to make that assessment? Bad in what way? In every way? How could that be possible?

We barely understand ourselves, how can we rely on anyone to make that judgement?

For non-Americans: I needed a translator for the acronyms

Literal Meaning:

RFK = Robert F. Kennedy Jr

HHS = Department of Health and Human Services

Meaning (my guess): A head of public health who will end up gutting health measures for the public so they get sick and have to spend more money in the private sector.

Am I close?

I tend to observe other cyclists when I’m driving.

So I guess I’m saying that I’m surprised by the results of this study.

That's because you're using anecdotal evidence. If you are looking for cyclists breaking the law, you'll find it because of your inherent bias. This is precisely why studies are needed to back up what we think may be true but aren't sure of. We have to cut away our biases.

Best I can do is outsourced genocide and apartheid so we can pretend that it's weird.

Meeting people at work is the worst way to meet people.

"Oh hey. Our major thing in common is that we're both working for the same business.

Lets hook up so that we can be constantly reminded of work when we see each other.

On top of that: if we break up (which is highly likely) it'll get awkward at the place where we gain money to pay for necessities."

No thanks.

Edit: Also the reason why Korea has a low birth rate isn't due to "not dating at work".

Somebody needs to clean up that article and add that section in.

I nominate @Psythik@lemm.ee to add that section into the Curiosity Wikipedia article.

All in favour (upvote below) : all against (downvote below)
