I'm not shaming anyone! I'm just saying the working conditions at my plant aren't the reason my coworkers smoke and drink.

The idea in the linked comment seems to be that poor working conditions, leads to poor life decisions, leads to poor health, leads to early death. Therefore, early deaths are caused by poor working conditions.

My point is that poor life decisions aren't necessarily caused by poor working conditions. Poor life decisions can be caused by other things, for example, lack of education.

I work the same exact job as my coworkers and don't smoke and drink. If work conditions lead to smoking and drinking, then why is it only the old people outside at break time smoking?

They picked up bad habits in their youth, not because of job conditions, but a lack of education into their dangers. Where I live, 30 years ago restaurants asked customers "smoking or non-smoking?" It ain't the work conditions that's causing them to smoke a pack a day.

While I'm sure they're overworked and underpaid, the guys at my factory with 30+ years are all heavy smokers and drinkers. Every year there's at least 1 person that has a heart attack. Unions can fix work conditions but they can't fix health conditions.

It's getting better! There are now distros for normies who don't want to have to do anything besides press the power button.

SCOTUS has been effectively making laws for a while. Interracial marriage is legal because of a SCOTUS ruling. Gay marriage is legal because of a SCOTUS ruling. Abortion was legal because of a SCOTUS ruling.

These are all legal in Canada because parliament passed laws making them legal, and not because of Supreme Court rulings. I get the sense that the US Congress is so bad at passing any laws whatsoever that the only time laws change is when SCOTUS changes them.

It is true. Math.min() returns positive Infinity when called with no arguments and Math.max() returns Negative Infinity when called with no arguments. Positive Infinity > Negative Infinity.

Math.min() works something like this

def min(numbers):
  r = Infinity
  for n in numbers:
    if n < r:
      r = n
  return r

I'm guessing there's a reason they wanted min() to be able to be called without any arguments but I'm sure it isn't a good one.

Fentanyl is already legal and regulated.
