I assume that OP isn’t sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on.
Pulling your arm from under a pillow someone is using seems very likely to disturb them and wake them. You’re not doing that, OP, right?
I can’t imagine that you can get out of bed without waking your wife if your smartwatch vibrating wakes her up.
Depression is the name for a set of symptoms. The cause of depression can be a disorder, a disease, or environmental.
Yeah, I wasn’t very clear about what I meant.
I was talking about this part:
I generally prefer not to have a shared identity across communities
Same. It makes it much easier for someone to doxx you.
All of my encounters with individuals who feel liberal arts are useless and STEM is the way seem to, at their core, feel that way because of earning potential
You were saying a group of people believe that value as a person is determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance.

I will try to not fight with you.
What distinction do you make between regulating and having regulations?
Related to this is that prosecutors have total discretion in the realm of plea deals. If you do a crime here, it becomes a negotiation with the prosecutor.
I agree with you. The justice system should not be “let’s make a deal.”
Thank you for contributing to the discussion.
The US has this bizarre setup where we “regulate” companies through the courts rather than directly through government agencies (this is not always the case, but it often is).
I’m afraid that I don’t understand what sort of alternative system you have in mind.
I looked at some of those, and it’s private citizens suing corporations…
That’s not the same as the government regulating capitalism.
This is like saying that Texas doesn’t regulate abortion because it’s just private citizens filing lawsuits. That is bullshit.
Without the regulations, there would be no legal basis for filing a lawsuit.
Well, I’m sure you’re right.
