"Cultural influences such as Christmas creep may have led to the winter season being perceived as beginning earlier in recent years"
I think I've always considered November to be winter, and at some point I picked up that Christmas is in the middle/even towards the end to break it up and give everyone something to look forward to, so I'm always a bit surprised seeing talk of winter in the future tense once I've put on the winter duvet/started wearing a coat all the time/turned on the central heating (not this year).
Can't tell which side you're on based on this comment... is the number of potentially offended people greater and so it's a worse crime or is it more of a public event where the public should be entitled to express themselves?
While this isn't at all objective, my feelings on it all started to change when the BBC begun sneaking in pure praise for Charles/monarchy without any balance, having softened us up with the same thing but with the Queen for a few days, knowing no-one would disagree with that. It now feels political.
Opt-out means on by default, opt-in is off by default (sorry to state the obvious).
The users above are referring to opting in/out of the tracking rather than the blocking of the tracking - so GA on Firefox by that standard is opt-in, even though in a Firefox specific context the setting is opt-out.
Obviously the EU wouldn't be cool with "but a competing browser with a small market share blocks us by default anyway".
i.e. completely stop or just reduce? Because I was going to say it would make sense for the "threat model" to go beyond "traditional" stalking to domestic abuse etc.
I'm sure every culture, including Western ones, has some kind(s) of food everywhere along the "healthy" to "medicinal" scale.
Everyone agrees what you eat is important, nobody can agree on what that should be, hopefully this kind of research will tell us.
I get the desire for the clear binary answer from seeing lots of similar problems with COVID tests. But if I bought this test I'd feel a bit scammed, I'd expect some magical fully digital process, the borderline results still exist with this system but are hidden, it kind of ruins it if you know that.
"Being exposed to chickenpox as an adult (for example, through contact with infected children) boosts your immunity to shingles."
"If you vaccinate children against chickenpox, you lose this natural boosting, so immunity in adults will drop and more shingles cases will occur."
It's seemingly not the primary justification the vaccine isn't offered, but I wonder if, to cut to the core question, those who are pro/anti vaccinating the low-risk to protect the high-risk feel the same way when it's flipped.
