Yeah I see your point and I’ve got amazing manners with human beings. It’s a view I personally reserve for companies. And the larger they are, the less I respect them enough to have ‘manners’ towards them.

Perhaps it’s the inability for people to treat corporations the way corporations treat people that leads to such a power differential.

I definitely have the unpopular opinion of disagreeing. As much as I’d like to employ manners with my grocery store, if there’s no corral within a 30 second walk from me, I don’t put the cart back. Most of my purchases are under 8 items and I usually don’t use a cart so I just carry everything by hand in the store and out.

My grocery store doesn’t care about manners on their end. It treats me like an economic unit and even makes self checkout the most reasonable option. They’d have me clean the floors as part of the checkout if they could. From a utilitarian perspective, it makes more sense for one person to gather all the carts in a batch rather than each individual going back for their individual cart.

The insurance rates thing is a legitimate point ( insurance is a racket, though. Fuck those guys too)

The book ‘Determined’ makes a great point on how schizophrenia victims have been mistreated throughout history.

Size matters in all these cases. To your point, size matters in long distance running, which is the crux of the articles message.

If you think size doesn’t matter when you’re bow hunting, you probably haven’t taught someone with a significant size difference how to draw a bow.

That and the full throttle oil policy. Sigh of relief knowing I won’t have to rethink my outlook.

Instead we get these astro-turf memes. Political marketing sure is wild this cycle

I read somewhere that one of the effects is abstention from treatment. Essentially the idea that, sometimes, to do nothing is better than blasting the body with macro doses of foreign chemicals. This seems to be the case here.
