I feel like this is more an issue of poor healthcare than personal choice. It seems like rather than the U.S. chosing to be opt-in, they are physically unable to give everyone the choice to opt-out.

Eh, that's a few dozen steps removed. By that standard, every herbivore "uses" photosynthesis.

These guys (coral & lichen too) use photosynthesis much more directly, completely encapsulating the algea and supporting it internally. It's much closer to mitochondria.

It's almost analogous. A more massive object experiences a larger force caused by gravity, so assuming the gravity field stays the same, a larger mass is heavier.

You're right that it's technically incorrect, especially when talking about something like moving the Earth with gravity.

Lucky, I mean it is exactly the opposite way! Teach me some local languages, like Cree or Dene, maybe something Inuk.

I guess I am telling people to speak English though, aren't I? Well it's good to keep updated on the colonizer tongue I suppose.

Now get off my native grass lawn!

Oh probably, but I don't speak latin. Most people don't speak latin; there's like 1000 people in the world maximum who could hold a conversation in latin.

We really should rename botanical berries to something else.

I thought Egyptians had bad teeth because their flour was ground with sandstone, leaving sand in their bread. They ground their teeth into nothing by eating sand.

I wonder if babies and adolescents hopped around? There's already the theory that T.rexs lived in family groups with adolescents catching lots of small prey and adults catching the occassional large prey and providing protection.

Ah, so it's the IRS that was the wrong target. I see.

Could be both honestly. Perhaps the relative abundance of otherwise innocuous material is more than just virtue signaling.

Are we?

GE made nearly 7 billion dollars in 2023. Do you know how much tax they paid? They didn't, they got a refund of over 400 million dollars.

Tell me again that tax evasion isn't a real problem.

This is actually a thought that some climate deniers have. "Climate change is a hoax to control you, covid was the trial run".

Unsurprisingly, the people who say that publicly tend to be funded by oil.
