What we think of as "true libertarian" is, I guess, right-libertarian. There is, therefore, also left-libertarian, which is probably a more appropriate classification.

>It's why places like Planet Fitness are able to offer $10/month unlimited memberships

With a $40 annual membership fee, as well, though.

But yeah, they're making money off of me. I went nearly every day until I started full-time work. Now, it's just far more convenient to use my neighborhood gym during the morning, though the equipment is lacking. But I retain the membership on the chance that I might use Planet Fitness's facility instead, because it's only $10!

For the time being, yeah. But they say the eventual goal is to sell customer data to advertisers.
Who are you to say that? People have preferences, get over it.
Re:How to Pick Your Life Partner (2014) on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @03:34PM (#14961657)
I completely agree with you. I'm in my early 20s and I'd much rather meet someone during my daily interactions than through an app (on which men are typically at a disadvantage). That concept felt a lot more feasible while in school, though, and much more challenging now.

I haven't done it, but speed dating seems like the best approach. It puts you right in front of a person and, imo, you're less likely to dismiss him/her outright than you would be on the mentioned apps.

Re:Why Single-Payer Health Care Saves Money on Tuesday July 11, 2017 @06:00PM (#14748454)
Yes, quite helpful, thank you. "True" insurance (car, fire, flood, etc.) makes sense to me, but health insurance is much more complicated. I guess it's point 1 that never made a lot of sense to me. So, I suppose you can put me in the group that considers it a bad idea to use insurance for such purposes.

>Or even better, that healthcare costs are low enough that you don't even need insurance

See, this is what I don't get. I'm fairly inexperienced with this stuff, but it's starting to become relevant in my life. Despite my new employer offering insurance, I'm staying on my parents' until I'm 26 (this was part of their policy even before Obamacare).

However, this is the question I've been asking ... why do I even need health insurance? Why can't the money I pay in the form of premiums just be used to pay for my health care? The answer: well, it can be really expensive, so this way the cost is shared. But why is it expensive? Why don't I ask how much something is versus whether my insurance will cover it?

Again, like I said, I don't have a lot of experience, so go easy on me. But I think my questions are valid.

Probably. Progress, right?!
I don't know if this is unique to Florida, but most of the community colleges here became state colleges, thus enabling them to provide certain bachelor's degrees.
And now they're all coming to Europe. Woo!

Yeah, I suppose so. I only asked because reversing a singly-linked list just seems like a PitA.
By linked list, do you mean a doubly-linked list?

So progressive!

The headline is untrue: I do not like Bernie Sanders.
