I hear this criticism all the time, but I've never seen it happen in 5 companies I've worked for so far. Usually there's an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

It doesn't hurt you so don't worry about it

Eh, not so sure. Beauty standards propagate, and pressure to conform to those standards is real.
That's just how fashion works. In this case fashion requires disabling a functional part of your body. It's at least a bit icky.

I hate how it's framed as a bad thing. Intentional or not, real estate prices falling is a good thing.

At least then you have the absolute moral high ground.
" we need to eradicate drug trade" is not a good call to arms, since consuming psychoactive substances is the most human thing ever, practiced by a wide range of the population
"we need to get rid of murderers and human traffickers" is clear and unambiguous, and would actually make more people turn their back on the cartels

None of these articles make sense until you reform your electoral system to allow for multiple parties. Until then it basically do you want complete idiots, or a smaller amount of stupid takes.

Sigh unfortunately it's true. One thing I learned about American culture through the years is that everything must have a race. Food, drink, sports, music, neighborhoods, bus lines, careers ... Everything is assigned a race and only people of that race can use it without criticism

1950s revolutionaries were something different. It was a more optimistic time.
