Paying Bell is a surcharge fee in itself.

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's phase out ethanol and sugar too. But not caffeine, we need workers to be productive.

salty child
Salty water can dissolve and thus destroy a whole bunch of other chemicals... We're lucky we evolved in an environment full of it so much that we are adapted to it!

Today I witnessed a kid skiing through a totally-avoidable puddle of water for fun. My friend commented on how immature the kid was because he got all wet.
Just at that instant, a ski resort employee on a snowmobile went through the exact same (totally avoidable) puddle.
I confess that I would have done the exact same thing! Also, if i was a bird, i would totally slide down roofs for fun.

While there may be a part of it being "different gravity", dark matter cannot 100% be explained by modified gravity of any kind.
Why do we know this? Well there are observable galaxies that survived collisions and have been stripped of their dark matter, and the reverse is also true (galaxy-sized dark matter blobs without baryonic matter in it).
I can refer you to this wonderful PBS Spacetime video about it: https://youtu.be/5t0jaE--l0Y

Senses
nothing is real do what you want
That is a fallacious conclusion from this observation. Don't use this philosophy as an excuse to act like an asshole.
While everyone perceives reality slightly differently, apples do have a specific light absorption and reflection spectrum.
Our limited perception of it doesn't make it "not real". Same is true for other senses as well.

Same here! The janitor is such a badass, he keeps the whole building ruining and is always around.
The CEO sens like a nice guy, but everytime he's around, it feels like he's just trying to get people to wave at him.

Let’s Do This! Remove Tarriffs on EVs
We should simply allow European safety standards as equivalent to american ones, allowing every model approved i the EU to be sold in Canada without costly changes and re-certification.
If a car is good enough for German highways and Norwegian mountain roads, then they should be good enough for Canada.

I once was reported by the high school programming class for "plagiarism" because I used visual studio's auto-generated template to start my homework.
The teacher reported it to my parents, he wanted to make me fail. I was also reported for creating a "hidden" chat app that I shared with my friends. (It didn't show in the taskbar.)
Next Christmas, they bought me a visual studio license at home!

In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!
idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning
If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!
Would another peer review my analysis?

The vicious cycle

Yup! It's not "abandoning" per se, it's more like "totally forgetting that I was trying a new life routine, so stopped doing it"
That's why it's so hard to take medication every day.
