There's little reason to change your stance then, other than to virtue-signal to the right

Just used this to load up some concerts for my long haul flights tonight and it worked great, thanks for the rec
Everyone is better off without game pass (though MS have had the capability to do it for a long time before they launched it, and that infrastructure was largely just going to waste). IMO it doesn't change that the millions that show up to buy CoD every year will be direct marketed game pass as a way to get it for $20 instead of $70 and that will be highly successful
Game pass numbers stalled out because Microsoft stalled out on adding blockbuster games since Starfield, which was poorly received. Check the numbers once the new CoD, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., ARK, Indiana Jones all get added towards the end of the year. CoD in particular will likely show the reports about them reaching full saturation to be false
I'm really meaning the lack of option not to consume fast-moving consumer goods, rather than the option to pay a premium for them elsewhere. When their market position is similar to like an outlet for government rations except for private profit, their net is essentially what was skimmed off the top of free enterprise. 2.66% is just the current maximum amount that is justifiably worth without doing societal harm
That's an expected tradeoff of operating an essential service is the point. It's not as though their margin is that slim by mistake, or out of goodwill, or bad business sense. It's meant to lead to the situation where we shop at Walmart not by choice, but in lieu of other options.
Hot, then once I've read everything switch to Active to check popular posts I missed, then back to Hot and there's usually some new stuff
For herd immunity. Even endemic viruses can be eradicated if its spread is sufficiently restricted. Not everyone in a community needs to participate in being vaccinated for the community to achieve that. Perhaps your herd is already there (outside your family).
Besides, it's an easy excuse to take a sick day.
Almost any new plastic, by proportion of consumer plastics, mostly virgin PE & PET. As you mention, they degrade per cycle, which is why they end up in landfill regardless of being recycled.
Yeah probably not but it depends on how the virus changes over time. I read there is some early research potentially indicating that symptom severity is lower in the current wave than Omicron. If so and if that becomes a continuing trend that may impact the rate at which we vaccinate (or whether new vaccines need to be developed etc)
Technically that advice will somewhat depend on statistics about infections which haven't occurred yet. At this stage the CDC advice is to get 1 dose of any of the 3 available vaccines if you haven't already done so in the last 12 months (for people aged 12-65)
Why use generational change to substantiate Equality Australia's point that data on the population's gender diversity is also a relevant part of the intended function of a census? Because it's likely the most significant factor in the perceived growth in diversity, afaik (as a cishet). I'd assume older generations have additional barriers to overcome to be openly trans
