Another one: your own suffering doesn't matter because other people have it worse.

To be shot in the face and still return to protesting against injustice is the height of bravery and dedication.

I had neurosurgery to correct brain stem compression. I regained the ability to walk without weakness and tremors and to function in general.

I had to fight my insurance company for months because they denied my first surgery due to their perceived lack of "medical necessity."

I think as mainstream porn has become more extreme more people are viewing it as harmful.

My library also has Hoopla, maybe yours does as well?

I am in the middle of fracking country. I can't go to certain parks because the chemical smell the wells give off makes me lightheaded. One of the workers I met said they also use copious amounts of biocides to keep the wells clear of growth.

Police in my town spend a significant amount of time at the scenes of car accidents. I wonder what percentage of their time?

Their priority should be on crime and accident response and prevention and I feel like it is in my small town. I don't know how this compares to police in larger cities, which makes studies like these valuable.

Oh dear God. Kids don't need "nifty gadgets" to learn, they need an authentic learning community and a reason to care.

Everyone would share the yacht? Like a timeshare.

Damn it. My shop has used Shopify for years. One reason I chose it was the excellent customer service and help I received as a new small business owner.

Greedy people at the top of companies are always trying to squeeze more money out of their operation, to the detriment of everyone.

Perhaps employees should co-own the companies they work for so they can be part of the decision-making process.
