I've seen porn. I've seen bang brothers films/clips that got uploaded. I've seen amateurs put up stuff. Doesn't generally stay up long, but I've caught it once or twice. Though I've also never come across it accidentally, only seeing it when a friend or acquaintance links it.

And as I understand it, non-pornographic nudity is ok. So like health-related videos are fine (though makes me wonder, how they would treat a health-related video that, for example, was talking about and demonstrating masturbation). Though like you, the only nudity I've intentionally come across has been exposed breasts.

Although I did once come across a home birth video.. that was interesting to see.

They hold much truth. It is just too often that people from fields related to hard sciences find in hard to accept that there might be message in between the lines.

Generally, I have found that it is the people who profess to believe in those stories that "find it hard to accept that there might be a message in between the lines" (they take them literally), not the people who do not profess to believe.

But that's just my own personal experience. Perhaps your experiences have been different.

Well I at least feel similarly. On my usual commute, I do watch out for cyclists on the road, and for the most part they seem to do their best to stay out of the way of cars despite any branches and such littering the poorly-maintained complete lack of a shoulder. But then I'll come up to a stop sign, look all ways, and see a cyclist just blow right on through like they've got their own personal force field to protect them from my 4,000 pound behemoth (just a regular ol station wagon, but compared to a bicycle...).

But to be even more fair, drivers also seem to run the same stop signs at about the same frequency.

Second, the post I quoted explicitly contradicts you:

You can afford more than $1000/month? I spent time as a consultant and sans an employer that was the quoted figure to cover one 20-something with no medical issues around five years ago. I couldn't afford it and neither could most people in my area. Lots of people think they can because their employer foots 80% or more of their medical insurance bill.

That is directly stating that people cannot afford to pay for medical insurance because they don't have the money, their employer does. And that was modded up 3 times.

Allow me to quote myself then:

It's just easier to say "my employer pays it" rather than "my employer pays me a reduced salary in order to pay for it", especially when everyone knows that the first means the second (unless you're just being pedantic).

Ahh, that explains it. I've been looking at FIOS recently, and depending on which level of internet service I select, tacking on TV was only an additional $5-$10, also dependent on which tier of TV service I selected. But I hadn't been counting the STBs, which yeah, depending how many TVs you're going to hook up, would drive that up.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.
