| If everyone is so stubborn in their thinking, I predict civilization itself will go through a very painful period. Humanity is basically f****d because too many people are shortsighted and simplistic. We are already in that painful period. The increasing popularity of Bernie Sanders is a sign that ... |

| Liberals always concern themselves with taking a larger slice of the pie, but they never conceive of creating a larger pie. In late stage capitalism the only thing that grows is finance and rent-seeking. Without technological advancement that actually improves the standard of living, all that happe... |

| Trump isn't a white nationalist. He's just an as*hole who attracts all kinds of far right people because far right people are usually as*holes. |

| I'd think after the Iraq war something may have been learned.... Well, I think Dubya is part of the reason Chubby Face has been acting so aggressive. The whole neocon thing just kind of exploded out of thin air after 9/11. Dubya didn't campaign as an aggressive hawk. It was a complete surprise. US ... |

| I'm not a media outlet, I don't have to provide links or data. It was on a Facebook link and thus lost in the millions of facebook posts that are ordered randomly. But had tweets from people saying Kim is more reasonable then trump we should have him as president. I see people on the left defend Ki... |

| Self diagnosis of what's happening in your sleep seems difficult. If you can get into a sleep study, you'll have third-party observations. Last time I had a sleep study I hardly slept at all. I can't sleep when I can't roll over because all the crap attached to me will pull out if I move. Bed was h... |

| Sanders is finished. He'll be lucky to be alive next election. He can't beat the 535 super-delegate advantage that the winner will have. He won't attract the donors. And this is why our system is a slap in the face to democracy. Running for political office shouldn't require the approval of rich do... |

| Insomnia also seems associated with depression. For the record, sleep studies have compared the amount of sleep that insomniacs believe that they got with how much the researchers observed. You can at least feel good that however bad it seems, you almost certainly got more sleep than you think you ... |

| I can understand that, if you're an anticapitalist, then hearing what the centre-left thinks of anticapitalism is going to be hard, but that doesn't mean that they're wrong to criticise you. Clinton isn't as bad as Sanders. The problem is centrism lacks enthusiasm and trust. Despite what out-of-tou... |

| I'm guessing that being required to do some kind of mental or physical activity in order to stay awake helps depression. If that is the case, then it's being busy that helps, not sleep deprivation. |

Insomnia can also be a symptom of depression. Insomnia can even look like excessive sleep because one spends long amounts of time in bed feeling tired yet not sleeping. |
