Whack-a-mole. Once banned, a scammer will just sign up with someone else's ID.

I mean, that's kinda what they are pros at already, right?

Scientifically speaking, is interesting that the Japanese meteorological department can suggest there's a heightened risk at the moment. Maybe dangerous construction or nuclear facilities could enact some precautions or delay some activities?

But I don't understand how that information is actionable. It looks like some beaches were closed where tsunamis could be particularly deadly.

But what are the people supposed to do? And for how long?

The article mentions that a large quake follows a 7.x quake maybe one out of several hundred times.

So is Japan going to issue these warnings hundreds of times before there's any result? That is kind of the definition of a warning that people ignore.

The authors also assessed 14 lifestyle factors commonly associated with physical and mental health, including smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and sleep, finding most were significantly associated with all three mental health measures.

It seems like we conclusively know now that physical health is crucial to support mental health. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, limited stimulants and depressants, and yes, maintaining a healthy weight are core factors to fight depression - perhaps more effective than any pharmaceutical available - and other mental health decline.

Does anyone remember the inside jokes in the early days of reddit?

When does the narwhal bacon? Orangered Chuck Testa!! Ridiculously photogenic guy And of course the long list of meme-level posts like broken arms, cumbox, celebrity AMAs

This type of community humor made a lot of people feel like they'd found their tribe on reddit in those early days.

I haven't seen much like this develop on Lemmy yet, possibly because there's so many disparate communities merging. I'm not really sure. Or maybe all those 20-something redditors are now pushing 40.

I think it will take a while for a lemmy culture to develop and the community won't attract outsiders much until it does.

This poster asked some questions in good faith, I don't understand the downvotes when there's a legitimate contribution to the conversation because that stifles other contributions.

The name "JD Vance" is already somehow moldy

I'm curious, is there a consensus that Reaganomics was faulty entirely?

Intuitively I feel like a little bit of both is true.

If a business owner is taxed out the yin yang then he just has less capital to spend on growing his business. If he wants to grow his business by hiring more people, or other local spending, perhaps that is an undesired effect (If you believe a small business in growth mode is a more powerful engine than a government allocating spending to low bid contractors somehow)

On the other hand if he doesn't want to grow his business by hiring people, for example by buying AI powered robots to do the jobs instead, and then laying off all the staff, then I say tax away.

Coming from an entrepreneurial background, I tend to lean towards the advantages of allowing high economic growth incentives for the people who invent or improve on things in the world. I think this is the best incentive structure ever conceived for promoting advancements.

But more and more I realize that as a society we need stronger antitrust controls to keep the behemoths from becoming modern day fiefdoms.

If a company corners a market, it should be pushed into divesting so that it doesn't become a black hole and vacuum up everything around it, which inevitably leads to bad outcomes.

This kind of a policy could serve to reboot the investors so they have to go back and invest in something new or competitive again, rather than horde it.
