I certainly do have a suggestion - turn off your computer, switch off the news, and go outside or do whatever else. Anything's better than sitting in front of a screen and purposelessly seething about the other side on the behest of ma

Yes, Republicans made a mess of politcising everything and here you are politicising an unpolitical issue and not even in a reasonable way but "everything bad that happens is THEIR fault, and NONE of the fault is ours". I'm g

Because the phrase "conspiracy theory" comes with a lot of negative associations and can be used to effectively discredit otherwise at the very least worthy of consideration hypotheses. No need for "conservative influencers&q

Excuse me, but it hasn't even been an hour since the link was posted and there's already glaring US-centrism in the comments: "get what you deserve", "mass disinformation campaigns". Where have you guys been li

What a load of crap - "Feynman is a sexist whose behaviour did undeniable harm". Harm to whom? The women that I assume found that "undeniably harmful behaviour" pleasant enough to willingly sleep with him? If the author

It's not everybody in Ukraine that is so froth-mouthed with their hate for USSR/Russia that they would get rid of quality books just because it's 'Soviet legacy'. Throwing the baby with the badwater spites yourself,

It's hilarious how your comment got immediately downvoted for sharing a personal anecdote about the very same thing. Must really be rubbing the people who downvote for political difference reasons the wrong way.

Girls having better math grades could be explained by girls, on average, being higher in conscientiousness. I think generally grades in schools are more strongly correlated with diligence than natural talent. Also, studies have shown that i

Thank you, I understand your point of view now. I would need to get a bigger grip on the underlying issues to fully agree or disagree with it(your previously mentioned reading list), but your argument seems reasonable and plausible to me.

Thanks for the response. I think discussing whether he's liberal or conservative is a wishy-washy subject and I'm on shaky ground when discussing whether he's right about the left, but in the interest of having a dialogue I d

Whilst I think your argument is valid, I still think lack of "upgradability" correlates with planned obsolescence. All the manufacturer would then need to do is to add a few components that have an expected lifetime just after the
