That might be correct when talking about _video_, but is factually incorrect when talking about _text_. To understand why, just print an identical piece of text on 600, 300, 150 and 75 dpi on your printer and look at the printouts side by s

I get your point, but "I can't think of a time when I've been fooled by CGI" is a tautology: you remember = you weren't fooled. If you had been fooled, chances are you wouldn't remember. There are videos from C

Global Warming is not, and should not be a partisan issue. Unfortunately, decades of Exxon Mobil propaganda[1][2] have brainwashed millions of people all over the world, which has caused this to become strongly politicized. History will not

I challenge that notion as toxic. Holding hands, hugging or otherwise expressing physical closeness with "someone else" is considered normal, healthy and valuable in various cultures, including mine. I don't understand this i

Who decides what is “drama” and what is “professional”? You? Google?

Yes, of course! If google is acting unethically then I, as a user of google, want to know so I can hold them accountable. Otherwise having an “ethics committee” is just feel-good marketing signaling at the same level of privacy terms statin

Well said. To add to that, even the preference identified in those studies is influenced by the specific societal context. Generalizing that to “women prefer fit men” is incorrect, because we know sexual preferences are heavily influenced b
