HackerNews has a weirdly pro-Russia bent, at least in these comment sections. People talking about how NATO "shouldn't expand" (why not, if the nations involved want to join a voluntary pact?) and how Crimea is and has been R

I know of at least one additional American chestnut tree not listed in this article, in Oak Glen, CA. I was apple picking there and met a wonderful old man from Brittany who made a pilgrimage there every year to pick chestnuts for tradition

Purely anecdotal, but from discussion with my military friends there is widespread belief more than half of enlisted soldiers would've supported the Jan 6th coup attempt militarily. That percentage is far smaller along officers. With t

That is hugely off, even if you assume 100% of the registered shares came from reddit, which would be a very silly assumption to make.

Reddit in a nutshell. Read highly upvoted posts about any topic you really understand and it becomes apparent how much of its content is just kids spouting half remembered bullshit.

I think it comes down to priming, at least for those of average intelligence. They don't read the report start to finish with an objective mindset, they are first fed snippets here and there while being told what to read from those sni

The ubiquity of car-centric designs in major population areas of the US has produced immeasurable harm both environmentally and physically. I've seen obese family members lose tens of pounds while spending a few months in Europe in par

I would save your time. The "apes" are bagholding on a pump and dump. The reason they want "systemic change" now is because the fortune they promised GME investors would make has never and will never materialize, and the

To me, it rings false because the people who propagate it so rarely face "real" adversity. I would be more interested in the stoicism of a broke guy scrapping just to exist than the stoicism of rich white tech bros. Yes, everyone

It might seem simple, but Christians wield immense power in America and will not hesitate to attempt to make their beliefs legislation. Opposition to this isn't coming from a logical argument about legality, it's about hindering a
