It's definitely a strange phrase in some ways. But I would say that the way the wording makes sense if you consider 'near' to be an adjective to 'miss' and that 'near' in this case means 'close'

...let alone the ocean is actually not acidic but has a PH between 7.5 and 8.4, so if anything the ocean is becoming more neutral if there were in fact any basis to the argument. This is a bit like arguing that global warming isn't r

Many plantations were run without mistreating slaves. Slaves are mistreated by definition of being slaves.

That's an impressive level of self-deception you've constructed for yourself there.

It's exploiting dopamine hits but not as aggressively, and it doesn't - presumably - cost real money every time you try. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the people in these discussions who gloss over the "pay money to roll

When playing physical card games like Magic the Gathering or Pokemon, you are constrained in who can play against due to the physical nature of the cards. The "best" decks you play against are your friends and other players around

I downvoted you because it didn't seem productive to try to start an argument about why people are specifically talking about parents in the context of discussions specific to students and their parents. And you felt it necessary to pr

Of course none of the debate actually addressed if students would possible learn better from it. Is that important if there is no way to make a different schedule work from a practical perspective?

More of a Twitter alternative than a Facebook alternative.

Why would the reason ads bother you be relevant to my point. I was responding to your point about not being able to use the internet without an adblocker, which is something that's quite easy to do. Maybe you meant to respond to a diff

If your point was about security then you should have stated that. It seems unhelpful to assume that someone responding to your post is a mind-reader.

I'd also add that Mastodon is more of a Twitter replacement than a Facebook replacement. Facebook is better at isolating your feed into your group of "friends". Mastodon is more of a river of information from folks you follo

I do not understand how anyone in 2018 finds the internet remotely usable without some form of ad blocker. This is how you ignore the modern salesman. It's actually pretty simple. You just don't visit sites with ads that bother

I asked them why they didn’t tell me and they said, "We did tell you. We've all been telling you." I argued that they had called me "crazy," and they all said, "No. We said you're psychopathic."

What/who are you arguing against?

Removing helmets in football without removing almost all forms of contact will likely lead to deaths, which would hard to describe as "much less serious" than brain damage.

What would you consider being the "dump" side of the housing market collapse?

by Goronmon 9y ago
Wasn't the 2008 stock market crash caused by the housing market being "pumped and dumped"? "Pump and dump" requires both a "pump" and a "dump". I'm no expert on the housing market crash, b

I realize it's all symbolic as you can't actually "vote with your dollars" as the libertarians would have you believe. "Voting" has never guaranteed that your desired outcome is the one chosen. If it was, it

The current regulations around Net Neutrality have only officially existed for that long. Previous attempts at regulation happened before that, and the principles around net neutrality were how the Internet worked for a long time until ISPs

2015 was when official rules were put into place to protect Net Neutrality. But before that, ISPs had generally worked in a way favorable towards Net Neutrality. But then they started to act against Net Neutrality and then the rules were pu

Say you use a lot of spotify but you don’t surf that much this is ideal. What if you listen to a lot of Pandora?

But that's exactly how it undermines Net Neutrality. It gives an advantage to the entrenched businesses because either smaller/newer businesses won't get the same advantages, or they do, but people won't know that (or do

How do they determine what sites get the free traffic? If I start a social networking site tomorrow, how does it get the free traffic that Facebook gets?

so sctually what the US doesn't need is NN laws, it needs those ISP monopolies broken up and competition injected into the market. Why not both?

In theory ICE could check this out, but sanctuary city policy is to not cooperate with ICE, so my guess is they did not have immediate access to this information. Also I think Hilary's emails and Benghazi obviously played a factor he
