Instead of click Not Interested, I recommend igoring them. It might take a few days or even a week, but I they should start to disappear from your feed

Is that conceptually asinine? Absolutely... But it's your best bet

They get money based on the resources needed to tackle illegal drug manufacturing/sales/usage

The more widely used an illegal drug is, the more resources they need to fight it

Only engage with things you want to see more of. Downvoting and Not Interested are both forms of engagement.

Engagement metrics allow YouTube to show advertisers that you're actually looking at the page and not just letting it run in the background

It's inherently problematic that the DEA is in charge of scheduling

Rescheduling marijuana would likely lead to a lower budget for the DEA... No way is the DEA going to voluntarily lower the scheduling of such a widely used drug

Oh, absolutely. If you click through to the Quicken press release they have a small section defining their methodology but don't list the specific questions

I wish more people appreciated the lengths that Pew et al. go through to both minimize and recognize sources of bias, confusion, etc

Speaking anecdotally, I've always heard "living paycheck-to-paycheck" to mean having insufficient savings to cover a missed paycheck

I.e. if you don't get an expected paycheck then you cannot pay your monthly debts/utilities/rent and still have enough money to feed.yourself and your dependents

A few additional things to consider:

  • Accrued debt
  • Areas with highest cost of living tend to also be areas with relatively high population density (San Francisco is usually the go-to example for this)
  • Inflexibility of living in austerity
  • Intuit benefits from scaring people in the lower and middle economic classes

How old are the blank DVDs? Consumer-writable DVDs degrade over time

Yeah a 400ft tall silo overlooking Minot AFB is concerning. It also has nothing to do with OPs article about Travis AFB

China does enough shady shit that we don't need baseless accusations being thrown around

The 400ft tall silo was near Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and was known to be owned by a company from China

None of that has any tie to the company that bought land near Travis AFB

Land purchased by a Chinese company near one US AFB doesn't logically imply that any purchased land near a US AFB is a Chinese spy operation

Spez has never had the gift of foresight. Reddit was Paul Graham's idea after he shot down the idea that Huffman and Ohanian pitched
