From the article it doesn’t seem like she really is questioning her marriage. This seems more like an ad for their podcast than a real article.

“Since there was no suitable recipient in the Mainland, the Mainland decided to send the donor heart to Hong Kong…” seems like a low key aggro way to talk about it but okay director of hospital authority

The theater isn’t for plots as much as it is for visual spectacle. Plots work just fine on your couch at home.

There must be more to this story. 12 year old children know how to flush a toilet and why would they never leave the house? What could convince tweens and teens to never leave their disgusting smelly house in 3 years while they don’t even have anyone there to stop them

Rubbing capsicum on your lips to induce “pretty swelling” is low key insane to begin with

I find it somewhat uncomfortable that insurance companies fulfilling their purpose is termed as “losses”. It’s not “losses” when you fulfill your half of the original contract and provide what was initially paid for.

It looks like a caged bird. Hopefully it gets played periodically or it’s been deteriorating into a purely aesthetic ornament.

Maybe crime is easier to carry out when cars are less than full. It’s not given that crime should increase with pop. in all circumstances. Not sure what you think the LLNs is doing in this case, it’s not a law about crime in large populations & if anything LLN says a time series would be better

Not as annoying as constantly ending on a cliffhanger because you’re afraid you won’t get renewed for the next season, and eventually you aren’t, so there’s never any resolution to anything.

I’m in favor of that tbh. There might be some difficulty in implementing the details but overall I think it’s a good idea. Disinformation in general is a lot bigger than election financing ofc but at least it’s something to start with.

Mitigating disinformation is a thorny and difficult task, I know, but boy I’m real tired of hearing people say ‘disinformation is a problem’ as if that’s news or some brave take. Yeah we know it’s bad. It’s been bad under different names for hundreds if not thousands of years...

That was certainly my experience. To be truly competitive you need internships and extra curricular experiences while you’re still in school full time. What are you even getting out of your classes when your attention constantly is divided between 10 different tasks and topics? Boxes checked?

So why is it so dangerous? Well, newborn babies’ kidneys are about half the size or less of an adult’s – and they’re not mature enough to correctly filter plain water. “This leaves the baby susceptible to water intoxication.”

It was slightly snarky granted, but so is acting like the AI driven models, bio-chips, and 3D printed organ testings are perfect, fully finished holistic medical research products that researchers simply choose to avoid on a whim. Most technologies in th article are qualified by the word “emerging”

Trump: "I can't talk, we have to find a quiet place, sometimes this is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so that we can deal with it, certainly, today."

Screw your ad ridden site:
Trump: "I've pulled out of that. It's the conditions. Can you imagine that?"

I’ve read that Greenland was recently identified as having a trove of minerals used in batteries. I think the technocrats want to mine it. (Pun intended)
