I'm just a simple statistican, but I would be more worried about sun exposure, tap water quality, air quality, processed foods and occupational hazards (depending on job) over 3-4 drinks per year.

The better conclusion is "people who drink in moderation have a decreased risk of cancer", which is different. Causation is hard to prove, especially when we can only ethically do observational studies. It's likely that people who drink in moderation are more likely to make healthy choices in other areas of their life or have other factors that reduce risk.

I understand your conclusion, but in my experience not many people are advocating for reducing their 1st amendment rights. The majority of my experience with people claiming free speech is when it doesn't apply. Like it does not protect anyone from being laughed at, ostracized, does not force people to buy goods or services from someone who says wild shit, and no one is required to give them a platform.

People only invoke the feelings of the founders when they either don't have a stronger argument or are trying to appeal to conservatives. It's basically religious interpretation at this point - mostly used to manipulate people who don't know better.

I divorced almost 10 years ago for the exact same reason. Now I'm in my mid-30s with an awesome condo in a location where my ex would never want to live and DINK money. I genuinely loved my ex, but I can't imagine a life where we would both be happy now and still together.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Most people simply arent going to go vegan, and many need to take baby steps toward it. Cutting out beef is a great first step.

I think weak labor protections for a people that commonly live paycheck to paycheck with health insurance from those jobs, poor social programs should they lose those jobs and a police force that has a robust history of violently shutting down protests might also have a hand

The law that was passed through legislation that gave the Secretary of Education the right the modify or waive student loans (which Roberts acknowledged, but claimed that reducing is neither waiving nor modifying)? It was not the law as written and was legislating through the bench.

The study isn't claiming this. They do not have sampling method that would make their results 1. Representative of single demographics or 2. Comparable between demographics. Business insider is just jerking off their boomer readers.

I was going to link the same thing. My favorite video of his is the video on Victor Ninov (the guy who faked an element).

I bought it today to play for the first time and I'm trying to decide between playing it on steam deck or blow some cobwebs off the vive.
