- Damogran6 5y agoI'm betting it's fatigue from dealing with so many stupid people. Can't say as I blame them.

- guilhas 5y agoIn general arsetechnica article quality has been way down from a year or so a go. Too political, always on the offensive, comments short from wishing people dead. Or just something that looks like a promotion/advert for someone. Very few articles actually worth reading.
- quantified 5y agoConsider the topic. Apart from acknowledging the complexity of a higher organism, and anticipating the idea of microbiomes, terrain is a pretty bad idea. Which is more predictive of catching cholera, eating salami or drinking water with cholera in it? I agree they could be less snarky, but there’s less to respect in that point of view than flat-eartherism.
- heraclius 5y agoWhat’s an ‘official magazine’?
- 8bitsrule 5y agoActually, refreshing to see someone take the gloves off and tell it like it is. 'Toxic ignorance' (of the willful variety) definitely exists - has repeatedly been demonstrated in all eras of human history - and is definitely capable of creating a lot of misery. After hundreds of thousands of deaths: Non-violence is a wonderful idea in general, but when someone points a gun at you, it's not the most pragmatic response. I wish that could have been made clearer on Jan. 6.
