Is it mitigated where the article is a discussion of coverage of Trump, rather than just ranting (in either direction)? This article was pretty nuanced, IMO.


The author makes a good point about how dating dynamics vary based on gender balance. There was a recent study that showed how much more power men have in the dating/hookup scene when there are more women, and how much less women like/trust men under these circumstances. Even if women are put at a disadvantage in the admissions process, there may be a net benefit to women (who end up attending) because they have more power in the dating market.


gender wars! Count me out... there is toxicity on both sides. Glad I am not dating


The rate of autism diagnosis is really off the charts in MN these days...

GP is referencing a billion dollar national news Medicaid fraud, not vaccines.

A swing and a miss. Note the geographic specificity and give it another go?


Sorry, if you meant an MN that isn't part of the United States, I totally missed that.


I was referring to the social services scandal that is rocking the state of Minnesota, and which involved fake autism diagnoses. [1]

Wow, they got caught and prosecuted and everything! What a scary epidemic of fake diagnoses.


Who said it was scary? I just said there's been a spike in diagnoses.

It did cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and I assume that only a fraction of that will ever be repaid by the perpetrators.


Billions of dollars!


The autism part was only millions, I believe.


It's unclear that they sold the trademark in the first place.


I stand corrected. [1] Google owns the name Pebble.

Some can stream music over BT. If you want notifications you can get a cellular model or connect to wifi. But many people want to be left alone in the gym so would stay disconnected.


Do any of these sources adjust for the fact that people are not reporting crime in many places? When prosecutors don't enforce, police don't investigate, and people don't report crimes.


Automatic payments make banks sticky. Once you have your credit cards and utilities paid off with a particular account, you're probably not leaving.


I've seen these fees in personal accounts. They're usually waived if you maintain a certain minimum balance. Sometimes it's a few thousand dollars, but if you want things like free checks or other "perks" they can be much more. And of course they don't pay meaningful interest on your deposits. They're basically charging you the fee in the form of lost interest.


Just a PSA for anyone unaware, you can get checks printed anywhere and using a huge variety of designs. It is not mandatory to order them from the bank where the account is held.


Why would you expect checks to be free? The people who print checks need to eat too.

I'm curious what else is under your "perks" umbrella.

If you want a checking account with no minimums try Ally. EFT payments are also free. You will have to pay for checks however.


Because a small number of checks have been free for many decades. They cost almost nothing to print. But banks now charge $20 for a small box. Add another $10 for shipping.

I don't use checks often but have to buy a box in order to have >0.


I like Ally. I can do pretty much everything I need to for free and their interest rates are about as good as it gets. Only annoying thing is being unable to deposit cash but that's such a rare occurrence.


Some platforms don't pay much attention to these instructions. LinkedIn is impervious to my suggestions.


Much of this is because ZIRP is gone. Getting OPM is harder when they have more options.
