No, I don't. Neither is it up to me to provide one. When someone makes a claim of causation, it's up to that person(s) to prove it. I did read the state's "study" however. It's very biased . Also, I'm not saying that simple correlation isn't a
good argument for keeping the cameras. It could be, but to imply causation when all you have is correlation is disingenuous and biased.

Per the Massachusetts website: "Commonwealths are states, but the reverse is not true."
There are 50 states.

Some of them. They closed the Seattle store that unionized, then reopened it across the street but made it operated by a grocery store. Many of the other stores they closed were in the organizing process. Theoretically, it should be harder for them to do this after the store is actually unionized since a union could bring more resources to fight the closure than an unorganized workforce.

I get that it could be similar to addiction in that he has a compulsion to do it that he can't resist, but I don't know if it's the same. An addict has physical withdrawals if they don't get their fix. Addiction withdrawals can be very debilitating. It seems to me that pedophiles don't have the self-control to stifle their compulsions. I do plenty of things that I know are bad for me, but I can and do also can stop myself.

It looks like almost exactly like about half of the other US flags. At least it's not as bad as New Jersey's.

I’m saying that i think it’s crazy to allow children to work, at all.
kifn2 t1_izatief wrote
The reason they employ children is specifically because they are more easily exploited than adults. Children don't know the law and will do whatever an authority figure tells them to do, even if it's unsafe or illegal. They don't know any better.

These are teenagers. Apparently, the law allows for 14 and 15 year olds to work limited hours (pretty freaking crazy if you ask me). The owners were making them work unsafe jobs and longer hours than legally allowed, i.e. exploiting children who don't know better.

I don't know how you could see grey in that law. It doesn't have any exception for filming from a public space. The cops should have investigated and shut him down, but one can't expect cops to act in people's best interest. I don't blame anyone for calling them, but often cops will escalate a nonviolent situation into a violent one, so there is always a danger when they arrive.

NON-commercial drones over .55 pounds must be registered. I assumed it was over the weight limit, but in either case, what he’s doing is clearly illegal.

kifn2 t1_iynus8w wrote
The cops are probably too lazy to look up the law regarding recreational drones.
Pennsylvania law Title 18, section 3205 // 2018 makes it illegal to operate a drone to conduct surveillance on a private place.
The drone also must be registered with the faa and the registration number must be visible.

I don't know where you heard that but it doesn't sound right. There's nothing that would imply that from the mythology. The ram named Chrysomallos, was the offspring of Poseidon raping a woman whom he had turned into a sheep. The ram was born golden and later sacrificed. This is according to Ovid and maybe there are other stories, but I don't know any that would imply the origin is from the use of fleece to mine gold.

That must have been miserable. I never interact with the workers there, but you can tell they've had the shit beat out of them.
kifn2 t1_iy8xt4k wrote
In my opinion, the Giant near me is one of the worst supermarkets that I have ever been in and Giant is atrocious as a company, overall. There's a Stop-n-Shop about 10 miles further away but it is absolutely worth it, both in price, quality and overall mental well-being. I could go on and on about all the reasons I hate these stores, but most other stores share the same anti-labor, anti-consumer practices. It's just that Giant leans all the way into making their stores extra uninviting.

Of course I've considered that but what would be the point in trying to pursue women that I'm not attracted to? This is all subjective, but I don't think my standards are too high. I'm not looking for flawless beauty queens or anything like that. Just someone I'm at least somewhat attracted to. I've tried being just friends with girls that i'm not attracted to, but that often ends with feelings getting hurt.

It's kind of tough to not make a judgment about one's self when it's clear that, after decades of trying, absolutely no one wants anything to do with you. Like there has to be a reason because it seems like other people can build relationships. I don't know anyone else who's family treats them as if they prefer they don't exist and most people I know have at least one friend. I just want to know what's wrong with me, but all the advice I read tells me there isn't anything wrong.

>Pleasant sexual activities are an important component of the overall well-being of a person.
This is probably just me, but whenever I seek advice for dealing with a lack of sex, the first paragraph usually says something like, "It's totally normal to not be sexually active and you can definitely have a normal, happy life." Yet, there are all these other articles that say something like the above.
