>those geared towards women (shojo and josei) do the same thing but they have a different drawing style. the manga guide collection is not using that style.

What? Its way closer to shojo style than it is to something like Dragon Ball Z.

I'd say the blue checkmarks are a better example. They're a stamp of approval from the global corporate hegemony. You can even have yours taken away for expressing unapproved thought.

Sometimes conspiracy theories get proven right.

>who’s life was ruined by mental illness

If some FOIA request decades down the line reveals that the CIA was actually involved, I wouldn't be surprised. MKULTRA happened after all.

You seem to be implying that the Eastern approach is better, but the evidence doesn't support that at all.

Yes, but bad in different ways. Amazon's reputation is that they overwork you and people only stay until their "golden handcuffs" vest. But their code quality and tooling is seen as excellent.

Also MS has a reputation of being a horrible place to work for:

>one thing is for sure, is that we can't keep building McMansions

Why not? They're surprisingly low on resources for their size. They seem to be mostly wood beams and sheet rock, with a thin concrete foundation.

I don't really understand what you mean by that. They're completely different families of drugs used to treat different diseases, and have different side effect profiles. Opioids are typically used to treat pain, while Benzodiazepines treat anxiety disorders.

He was prescribed Clonazepam, not opiates.

>We have no long term solution for the storage and disposal of enrichment byproducts

Currently fossil fuel plants vent all waste into the atmosphere, including radioactive byproducts. At least in this case, the waste is in solid form and can be contained somewhere.

That's speculation on The Guardian's part that doesn't really match up with the city council's statement.

If you had more context, its easy to read between the lines. Witchcraft is considered a serious issue to people from regions they want migrants from.
