Sure, but a dangerous situation for the 0.01% (or less) of people who play a sport at top competitive levels versus the easily double-digit percentage of people whose lives could be improved immediately with a more reasonable and scientific approach to what has become a vapid talking point.

And really, those athletes would probably be better off with a reasonable legal framework about PEDs instead of the black market and misinformation prohibition offers.

Society. Steroids and HGH have wild potential for improving the human condition, but instead what we got was Congress investigating cheating in baseball and passing some wrong-minded legislation* and serious social stigma (thanks, infotainment!) to prevent further cheating in hitting a ball with a stick.

This is, admittedly, oversimplified. It is also close to the truth.

>It’s an incredibly short-sighted and unsustainable ideal

RAmen, but that's how the system works.

Maybe in the 2060s we'll have a POTUS willing to take on the system who gets shot in the head for totally unrelated reasons.

We've all been there. It's not a mistake if you learn from it.

I think they were making a valid point, albeit somewhat poorly and unnecessarily rude.

You said "It's not an issue that companies exist to make shareholders money"

Then followed with a list of things you wish companies would do that are not making shareholders money. You could put a million things on that list (where I think the "superfluorsly expanded on" comment originated) and it won't change that none of those are making shareholders money. Maybe those items sometimes align with making money, but that is unlikely allies at best.

If you really want those things, then it IS an issue that companies exist to make shareholders money.

>death with dignity

Reading is hard.

It's a shame that death with dignity is outlawed by zealots.

You lick something alright.

Then the title should probably read "a total outlier" instead of "a millennial". This post borders on outrage bait.

Yeah, just your typical millennial earning in the top quintile, no current housing costs, and spending $10.59 a week on groceries.

Neat idea, but:

1. Way too fast.
2. Not a very good projection
3. 500M is creation myth level flooding. Should be kept in the realm of reality or marked as Kevin Costner fanfic.

Criminally underrated comment. In a better reddit this would be showered in awards.

The 5th death is always the worst one. You think you'd be at peace with dying by that point, but turns out you aren't plus you're now almost out of lives.

Public education? We don't crack the top 20 and it is getting worse.

Life expectancy. Kind of funny to use the global scale instead of comparing to other OECD countries, especially while claiming NOT a third-world country. Then add in our voracious health spending while leaving people without basic care. It's not a pretty picture.

Infrastructure. Besides passenger rail... cycling, walking, buses, and everything else that isn't a car.

Funny enough, these three all have something in common. We spend a shitload of money on each for worse outcomes. But since $ big, we call it a win- USA! USA! USA!

It looks like Atlanta has more freezing days than I would have guessed. Still, I question their methodology since I checked where I currently live and the heating/cooling hours are way off. Maybe they didn't see the TMNT PSA about changing their thermostats each season?

I'm confused. "Heat loss" + "Atlanta" = free cooling ~10 months of the year? Maybe just get some house slippers?

I failed :(

Having had Texans and Germans are house guests before, this makes perfect sense.
