Very interesting to see how these articles are written. All it took was two words to take it from an unbiased report to a biased one: “lipstick-wearing”.

Does anyone know if there is there a name for this technique?

Productivity is how fast I’m moving towards my goal. Its end goal is to reach my goal.

About three times per day during the work day makes for ~800 times per year. Seems to be on the right order of magnitude to me.

Easy enough to write. But reading and maintaining? That’s the hard part.

I find it amazing how little space corn syrup takes up relative to how much is produced. It’s no wonder we use it in everything.

It’s the only time where it’s relevant to the conversation, no? Why would you bring it up anywhere else?

Milk first makes it possible to get the wrong ratio of cereal to milk because

1. the cereal floats and you have no idea how much you put in there
2. You can underestimate how much volume the cereal takes up and not leave enough room in your bowl

Ah, the age-old unpopularopinions dilemma. Do I upvote because I agree, or upvote because it is unpopular and I disagree?

I like the one(s) that bring(s) in posts from Hacker News since they have a high likelihood of being interesting, and I like seeing what the people of Lemmy think of them. Other than that, I don’t think I’ve seen any others that add value to my Lemmy experience.

The person you borrow from gets a small guaranteed win because you get paid a small amount for the privilege of borrowing their shares.

That’s no accident. A job is considered “unskilled” (or “unspecialized” as I like to call it) if any adult who’s gone through the education system and is reasonably healthy can do. Since society would collapse without these jobs, we want to do everything we can to make sure we always have people who can do them. How do you make that happen? By designing the education system to teach everyone the skills to do them and making it mandatory to complete your schooling. As a result, nearly everyone is capable of doing some of the most important jobs for our society.

I don’t think the question should be whether or not it’s needed, but rather whether it’ll make things easier and encourage more people to make the switch.

In your heroin example, when they do decide to break the addiction, giving them a different drug (Methadone) is exactly what you do.

Just because an English word was originally Latin and is written the same way, doesn’t mean it’s pronounced the same way. It’s an English word now.
